"Parked in a small lot on a quiet stretch of East MLK, Cockti is a food truck specializing in fried chicken. The menu is made up of just a few items—nuggets, drums, thighs, and sandwiches—with spicy, Sichuan, and chipotle-cinnamon versions of the latter, plus a few sides and a dessert." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Austin has a million food trucks, but Cockti is the one you’ll be dreaming about all summer. This is some of the best fried chicken in the city, whether you’re going bone-in, nuggets, or sandwich form. Toppings like chipotle, cinnamon, and agave give the savory poultry a sweet spin. Cockti is parked on a quiet stretch of East MLK—just remote enough to keep the crowds away, for now." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Everything you need to know about Cockti is right there in the name. This East MLK food truck specializes in juicy, deeply flavorful poultry with bold seasonings and sauces far beyond your standard fare. Try the Sichuan for a fiery kick or go sweet with the chipotle, cinnamon, and agave drizzle. The menu is compact—nuggets, sandwiches, and bone-in pieces—but every item hits." - nicolai mccrary
"At the time of writing, the food truck Cockti is home to our favorite fried chicken sandwich in town. That massive sandwich also happens to come in at less than $10, leaving you with enough change left over for an order of crispy fries that you can dip into a side of spicy strawberry habanero dip. This is everything you want out of lunch and more." - nicolai mccrary
"Everything you need to know about Cockti is right there in the name. This is juicy fried chicken at its best. The menu at the East MLK truck is small but mighty—nuggets, sandwiches, and bone-in pieces—but the sauces and seasonings set Cockti apart from your average Popeyes. Fried chicken sandwiches start with an ultra-crispy thigh, then get topped with things like chipotle, cinnamon, and agave, or Sichuan peppercorns, pickles, and creamy house sauce. And everything is available gluten-free—the buns get subbed out for little masa patties that are just as satisfying as any we’ve tried." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
