Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!

Epic Eatz came prepared to serve up delicious food for all our guests. Their service was outstanding and everyone loved the food. It would be hard not to find something appetizing on their menu with so many iconic Mexicali options.

Overall, we had a good experience! The owner was very kind and communicative. However, there was an issue which caused the waffles to run out halfway through the event, which seemed a bit disappointing to some employees.
