Big portions, bigger flavor and fairer prices. Every plate is made to order with local ingredients. Our goal is to be community first, not profit first. The way food used to be, before plates got smaller and prices got bigger. Traditional “fast food” has gotten so bad, but we’ve never paid more for it. We’d had enough, so we did something about it. Join us!

“My husband and I are on our way to Austin and found this little food truck serving up some of the best breakfast tacos we’ve had in some time. The eggs were soft, with just the right amount of melted cheese and crumbed bacon in a hot delicious tortilla. But the true star of the show, was the homemade tomatillo salsa! I had to get a whole bottle to take home. This was exactly what we needed to start our weekend away from Houston! We will be back:) Thank you!”
“Tried there pulled pork sandwich today 🥰 the best 💯. Definitely recommend this place. There breakfast tacos amazing 👌”
“This is absolutely the best place to go for lunch and breakfast highly recommend”
Simple Promise Farms, Elgin, TX. Find us at our featured booth for a taste of Cowboy Campfire Verde and our homemade salsas.
Every order is made when you order it, by hand. We source from local producers whenever we can, from the eggs and thick-cut bacon in our breakfast tacos to the peppers in our hot sauce, grown on a hand-tilled farm a few miles from the truck. Our money stays with our neighbors.
We make our hot sauces and salsas from scratch, and every meal comes with chips and a drink.
We don't answer to shareholders. We answer to the folks in line.

If we can make it ourselves, we do. That's how it used to be done, and it's still the best way we know.
This is our first bottled hot sauce. We roast tomatillos, poblanos and green chiles over live fire, then blend them with onion, cilantro, lime and garlic. It's smoky, bright and made for breakfast tacos, burnt ends and anything else coming off the grill.
Our homemade salsas are on the table with every meal, alongside chips and a drink. New: Homestead Heat, our red hot sauce, is out now in limited bottles.
It started in late 2023. Nick and I were two guys who couldn't drink anymore, but couldn't stop either. I was in Minnesota; he was in Katy. Somehow our paths crossed in Elgin, Texas.
We ended up working on a farm, no doubt paying for our sins and wondering where we went wrong. How did we…?
Day after day, we planted peppers by hand (mostly poorly), hand-tilled soil, weeded, trimmed, harvested, put up greenhouses, and even sold produce at the Elgin and Austin farmers markets. You name it, we did it. Pretty good for a couple of drunks at the time, I must say.
On one of those miserable, windy, rainy days in January, we were chatting like we always did to pass the time, and one of us said, "Whatever happened to the sense of community we grew up with?"
That's a rabbit hole for another day. But that conversation, and the batches of smoky hot sauce experiments and lessons in smoking meat that followed, in the kitchen and over the pit, grew into what is today Uncle Pocko's.
Kitchen & Smoke is our food truck. Cowboy Campfire Verde is the first hot sauce in our small-batch line.
Welcome. We'd appreciate it if you gave us a shot. You won't leave hungry, or feeling like you've been fleeced because your pickle was thicker than the burger.
We cook with ingredients from producers we know and trust, and we think you should know them too.
Our wild game specials start here. Broken Arrow Ranch sources truly wild, free-range animals from private Texas ranches, field-harvested and all-natural. Now run by the second generation of the Hughes family, they've supplied Texas chefs for over 30 years.
Egg delivery dayEvery breakfast taco starts with a good egg, and ours come from right here in Elgin. Hailey's Happy Hens supplies the pasture-raised eggs we cook to order every morning, so when you buy a plate from us, you're supporting a neighbor too.
A true Texas institution. City Meat Market has been a meat market and processor in Giddings for more than 70 years, and a two-time Texas Monthly Top 50 barbecue joint. Today it's run by Brooke and Chris Kovar, carrying on her father's legacy, and we're proud to put their meat on our menu.
Our vegetables come from a few miles down the road. Simple Promise Farms is an Elgin nonprofit that grows fresh produce and helps people rebuild their lives through meaningful farm work, "where hope and healing take root." Every pepper, onion and tomato we buy from them supports that mission.
