The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.

To be honest I was kinda skeptical because of how expensive the burger alone seems but the food is totally worth it! Best burger I’ve had in a while! They are thinner patties but all of the flavors work so well together, and the fries are nice and fresh and crispy as well!

I used Coco Latin Food Truck for my son’s and now daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner and how quickly it got prepared. I was afraid because we had 60 guests invited, but there was no need to worry at all. The food was amazing, all the guests raved on how good it was. Tomas and his crew were so extremely professional. They got there right on time and were totally prepared to serve our guests. They gave us the leftover food, which was very unexpected. The entire process from the request to the completion of the rehearsal dinner was super smooth. I strongly recommend them for your next even.

Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good
