The bottom bun where the meat was put on top of was completely mush. Had to just eat it with a fork but it was very tasty!

Food was pretty good. People seemed to like the BBQ nachos. The wait time was a little long.

Michael was fantastic! He was on time, his set up was easy and clean, and he was hilarious (all our guests loved him!). The food was great and there were plenty of choices, so something for everyone's taste (I had guests who were both gluten and dairy free, so this was great!). The portion sizes were also very generous, no one left hungry! Highly recommend!

Portions were back to normal and the food was so good this time around. Been a while since I last got food at the truck but I try to get them every time I come around. Last time disappointed me a tiny bit but this time they blew it out the park. Thank you so much, look forward to the truck coming back on the 14th!

The Pancit plate online says it comes with "Meat of the day" but it didn't come with any meat. Lumpias were terrific.

Chicken tacos were great! Was missing the aioli on the side. Food was ready 25 minutes after promised time.
