Brian was fabulous, fun and professional! All our 40 guests LOVED the tacos and the service. Many have asked for Brian's contact information to write positive reviews and to use his services at their own parties. Thumbs up!!!

On behalf of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, I wanted to thank you for being a part of our Summer Picnic. The food truck was a huge hit with our staff—people really enjoyed the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience. Your team was punctual, well-organized, and very professional throughout the event. The ordering process moved smoothly, and we received great feedback from attendees about both the food and the friendliness of your staff. We truly appreciate your partnership and would absolutely consider working with you again for future events. Thank you again for helping make our event a success!
