The team loved your food! I’m sorry that our clinical partners didn’t show up, if that led to food waste.

This Sate truck had some amazing flavors and different variety of food. The peanut sauce was outstanding as well. Overall, the food was tasty. I have to to let you know the only reason for the four stars is the truck showed up an hour late for the event. However, the food denounced the lateness. :)

Food was good, both trucks had run out of an item we ordered (no baked beans in bbq truck, no beef empanadas in wing truck).

I would love to see tipping available at the time of pickup. Seriously I would tip more but blind tipping seems excessive

Service was great! Downside is that the item I had was not available, but the employee quickly offered substitutions at no extra charge.

Food was awesome, but we were missing a few key items, like rice, plantains, and dipping sauce from our dishes. I would order again though because it was really good.
