Great time overall! Truck was on time, service was top tier & cooks were so nice, working very hard in the heat. Thank you!!

The food was VERY good. 1 of their fryers broke so it took almost 3 hours to get everyone thru the line which didn't make anyone happy. The quality of the food was great and quantity of food also but time was a turn off for most. They also did not show up to the event early enough to set up so they didn't start serving until about 20-25 mins after the set-up start time. Would hire again for smaller event.

!! The crust was crispy, yet still soft and fluffy. The veggies were perfect! Garlic cheesy bread was spot on and the cinnamon bread was the perfect finishing touch. Amazing food truck! Fantastic and friend staff! Would 10/10 recommend!

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.

We choose Good Hombres to cater a retirement party at our business, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They arrived right on time to set up and were ready to serve exactly when planned. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous—no one left hungry! The staff was incredibly friendly and kept the line moving quickly, so everyone was served without long waits. We chose a package that included an entrée, side, and drink for each guest, and it was well worth it. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. Our guests loved the unique idea of having a food truck, and it really added something special to the event. Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or corporate event!

- the side of salsa was only half full so not enough for 4 pieces of quesadilla; side of sour cream may have been fat-free as it wasn't as flavorful as regular sour cream.

They really care about the quality and have love for what they do, wanted to make sure it was hot, went above and beyond

The flavor of the fries & corn dog were great & the fried cookie dough was a nice treat to have accessible given you typically only get the luxury of fair food at the fair. It's nice to have the option for fair food so easily accessible! Look forward to ordering again!

How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
