The listing should specify that addition of ranch in the boom boom wrap will come as a little container instead of being added into the wrap. Also, the wrap was cut with aluminum foil on it which resulted in fragments of aluminum in the wrap.

The staff was super friendly. We were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were cold. The burger buns were super fresh.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
