The steak flavor was amazing and perfectly cooked. I loved the onions and the fries. The cream sauce was delicious and the cucumber tomato salad was fresh and really good too. I also enjoyed how thin the wrap was. Really impressed with everything, thank you

One of the pizza's was perfect but the cheese pizza was burned in the bottom which made the pizza taste bad . We follow the truck and have never had this happen.
