West Campus

Smack-dab in the heart of West Campus and available nearly any time of day, you’ll see dozens of college students flocking to this large collection of quality food trucks. Institutions like chicken and waffle maestro Longhorn Chicken, dessert shop Cold Cookie Co., and hand-made noodle palace Julie’s Noodles lead the pack, followed by at least a half-dozen more options. 26th and Rio is also the birthplace of rising local favorite JP’s Pancake Company, which has blossomed into a legend in its own right.

Must-try food: Check out the Hot Spicy Stew ($11.50) from Julie’s Noodles or hop on the sweet train with JP Pancake Company’s Strawberry Banana Babe ($8.50), white chocolate chip pancakes topped with strawberry syrup, strawberries, and bananas.
