The texture of the dough was amazing! It was crunchy yet still light and pillowy. The char was perfect too.

Absolutely fantastic! The burgers were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor — easily some of the best I’ve had from a food truck. The service was fast and friendly, and everyone working there was so kind and welcoming. You can really tell they care about what they do.

Really good BBQ and sides. Ready on time. Better than any other BBQ truck that's been here. And I'm from Alabama and let's say I know a little bit about BBQ! Lol

Hope this food truck comes back.. I got the signature empanada and buffalo chicken empanada, plantains, and a guava and cheese empanada. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the signature empanada :)

The food was tasty but when I went to pick up my orders the person checking me out didn’t ask if I needed any bbq sauces for my meals. The bags were tied up so I assumed they put them in the bags. There wasn’t any and I was too far away to drive back. The attention to the small details make a difference.

Sarah's Triple S was a hit at the lunch event. They showed up on time, were friendly, and their cheeseburgers were especially a crowd pleaser. The vegetarian option was helpful to have and the sides were all delicious.

How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
