The food was delicious, however, they did not account for possible overages, even though it was discussed.

Food was outstanding as well as service. We would absolutely book with Arepas Caribbean Food again. I wish that BFT would connect customers with the vendor throughout the process as there were some miscommunications along the way. However, I do not believe this was the fault of the food truck.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.

To be honest I was kinda skeptical because of how expensive the burger alone seems but the food is totally worth it! Best burger I’ve had in a while! They are thinner patties but all of the flavors work so well together, and the fries are nice and fresh and crispy as well!

The unique option's were delightful. The sauces were yummy, but would have been better if they filled the little cups.

I loved the tropic plate . Excellent. The coconut cake was horrible . Perfect it, or take it off the menu . DRY AS A BONE
