Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

Chicken had such great seasoning and flavor! Also the tortilla is cook not heated which is a big difference on how the flavor changes.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
