The portion was more than expected and hot and fresh. A coworker ordered the Pepperoni pizza and it was really good as well

I really liked Max’s hot chicken. I got the gyro plate and it was great quantity. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was that the meat was too salty.

Brisket sandwhich is amazing. The other food trucks are gross. I only like coming to this one or the pizza one💛

It was AMAZING. The food was so good. Birria is my favorite but not many places make it well, but this was fantastic

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

It was perfect. The correct amount of everything! Honestly the best smothered fries I have ever had, hands down.

Nope it was really good. Was not expecting 5 stars so did not give a 5, but beats typical food trucks rated 2 or 3

Fries and shrimp were amazing... however, my crab cake smelled and tasted funny and was s little discolored on the inside.

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!
