We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.
