It's just great food, but also, they were really accommodating. We preordered and they ended up not having something, but they texted me and we were able to put a replacement dish in its place! Lovely people!

Spicy wings and fries are amazing. Best wings around. Banh Mi sandwich, coconut shrimp and egg rolls were great as well

The pork would hold up well in Memphis. Perfectly smoked and great sauce. The fries were tremendous. Food trucks are usually either undercooked or burn soggy messes. Not this. Perfect crunch with the soft potato in side (for both the russet and sweet potato. Look forward to your return.

We had nothing but positive reviews from everyone that had pizza from the Pizza Assurda food truck! They arrived on time and set up very quickly.

It wasn't bad. Just not my favorite. Maybe a bit more hot honey and 2 minutes longer cook on the pizza. Probably personal preference. Not a complaint.

The Cali Burrito never disappoints. The fries are always crispy and the burrito itself stays intact and is easy to eat! Also the orange hot sauce is a perfect balance of flavor and HEAT.

The Debris Fries are Delicious. The pork and chicken had great flavor and very tender. Not typical but the pasta salad tasted different today- and we didn't care for it🙃
