We scheduled them for an event and they came early to allow time for setup and prep. They had unique items on the menu that you do not normally get from other food trucks. The lobster cheeseteak was the most delicious cheesesteak I ever tasted. The lobster loaded fries, were phenomenal. Of the 2 trucks we scheduled, this one was the more popular one. I would hire them back in a heartbeat!

Elevated food truck. Will order again. It was delicious and high quality. Area for improvement: We received a text message it was ready and waited another 15 minutes. Time management needs to be improved. If this happens and everything else remains the same, then they are one of the best food trucks, if not the best, hands down.

Wow this was THE perfect idea for our graduation party. They arrived about 25 minutes prior to our event and was ready t serve immediately. The truck team were so friendly and fast with the food orders, even finding someone if they didn’t hear their name called. Everyone raved about the delicious food. Best part is we didn’t have a ton of catered or homemade food left overs. I will definitely do this again with Wok-O Taco!

I think they should remove the end pieces of the cornbread because the edges are hard. Outside of that, I enjoyed the food. I will buy it again. Thx!

My dish had onions, and I requested no onions. Thankfully, I was not allergic to them. The food and drink were really good
