Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara

They forgot one order of fries The young lady asked my name when I got to the truck so I gave her my LAST name. Apparently she wanted my FIRST name. I wish she had clarified that for me Our order was scheduled for 6:30. I got it at 6:44. Not terrible but a notification would have been nice

Had a little bit of a difficult time telling which taco was which without picking through the tacos to see what meat it was. Offer diet sodas or more variety. They need chips and salsa!
