This food truck is located outside of the Brewtique in Cedar Park. Upon my last visit in June of this year, I brought The Things with me and another guest. We ordered several menu items to ensure we would be able to get a real feel for what this place offered.
Let's start with this: If for some unknown reason you don't know what a pierogi is, it is Eastern Europe's gift to the world of dumplings. And while it looks like a Mexican empanada, or an Italian mezzaluna, or even a little like a Chinese potsticker, it's not. Fun fact: While dumplings as such are found throughout Eurasia, the specific name pierogi, with its Proto-Slavic root and its cognates in the West and East Slavic languages, including Russian. However, the pierogies served here put a fresh spin on the traditional versions served throughout Eurasia.
Pot Roast Pierogi:
This classic comfort food (pot roast) that's wonderful and warming is paired with browned pierogis rendering each bite of the pierogi hearty and complex. The beef for this dish is seasoned and seared, bringing forth hints of pepper, garlic, onion, and parsley. The caramelized onions and pickled onions that sit atop the pierogi give it a kick that pulls the dish together.
Kimcheese Pierogi
This Pierogi has it all; bacon fried rice, kimchi mayo, and pickled chilies! Bacon fried rice is a delightful dish that combines the smokiness of bacon with the comfort of classic fried rice. When paired in this way with the Pierogi and the mayo, etc., it brings forth both a heartiness and spice that is filling.
The owner/operator of this truck, Derek, is hospitable and takes pride in his food, and it shows. It must also be noted that the truck changes its offerings and therefore while those who may read this review, view the pretty photos and may want to stop in to get a Pot Roast Pierogi or the Perigio Taco, it may not be available. But don't let that stop you from ordering something else!
