PICNIK
The founder of Picnik, Naomi Seifter, is singing our song.
As someone who has had to manage a food related chronic illness since she was a child, Naomi set out to innovate delicious ways for her community to heal with food. And boy, has she succeeded!
With three locations in Austin (flagship location on Burnet Rd) + Picnik food trucks at 1700 S. Lamar and 3020 E. Cesar Chavez St, Picnik pays meticulous attention to detail in sourcing the cleanest ingredients available like pasture raised organic beef, chicken, and wild caught seafood. Plus, the entire menu thoughtfully excludes gluten, peanut, and soy products while also providing options for people desiring diets free of maple, honey, grains, dairy, legumes, and corn.
But what really lands this place on Clean Foodie’s top picks list is the phenomenal “can’t put my fork down” food! And don’t forget to try one of their famous grass-fed butter coffees!

TACODELI
Tacodeli is the American dream made delicious!

Tacodeli is obsessed with freshness and quality which is what firmly secures their position as one of Clean Foodies top picks for clean food in Austin – that and the fact they are churning out some sensational tex-mex for sure!

VEGAN YACHT
This silver airstream is pumping out some of the most revolutionary, mouth watering vegan tex-mex around.
Vegans rejoice! Specializing in classics like, burritos, burrito bowls and frito-pie, Vegan’s and clean eater’s looking for meat-free meals can dig in with an easy mind. The Vegan yacht also offers gluten free options for those of us abstaining from gluten. Most of their ingredients are organic, except for the vegan cheese, avocados, and tortillas. The Vegan Yacht is a vegan hipster’s paradise for sure, providing high quality comfort food for anyone inclined to partake. On a side note (if you’re reading this during the Covid 19 quarantine), they are the only place on our list that is not offering take-out during the Covid-19 lockdown measures. To be sure, check their site when things have been lifted to see when they’ll be serving again. That will certainly be a happy day, woot woot!
