Gluten-Free Options at Austin Food Carts/Trailers!

I found a great website that outlines what is available gluten-free at the different food carts and food trailers around Austin. If you've been here, and driven around south of the river at all, you will notice that we LOVE our food trailers - there are entire lots of them everywhere. They are quick, easy and from what I hear...very tasty. So, instead of avoiding them (although cross contamination can be an issue) I can pick and choose!

The website can be found here: http://austinfoodcarts.com/gluten-free-options/  but I'll go ahead and outline them for you below! Enjoy! - They have a map as well.
