Food was great, size was a lot bigger than expected so when I was halfway done with the sandwich the fries were cold. And with a sandwich that big I probably shouldn't have ordered the fries too.

Oh it's just personal preference which can't be helped with a pre-order, the food was great - for ME, a bit too much terriaki sauce and not enough rice lol but it was yummy!!

. What happened to having an egg added to the burger. That ingredient makes this the best food truck burger. Egg is no longer on the extras list.

Full of flavor! Mac and cheese is very delicious and the sweet sauce is even better. The meat is also nice and tender. Thank you!

because I asked you to cut the burger in half to make it more manageable for me to eat and instead of taking 5 seconds to cut it in half you gave me a cheap plastic knife to cut it myself. Have you ever cut soft bread with a cheap plastic knife ? Not easy.

The prices are always the worst part. I understand that it has to work this way but it is insane to pay 7 dollars for a small side of mac n cheese.

Beef and cheese empanada's were crispy and the filling was very good. Cheese quesadillas were also very good.

Awesome service and food, We had some weather issues and they were easy to work with on change of venue. I lived in TX for awhile, and since moving away this has been one of the best Briskets I've had.
