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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.
