The brisket melt was one of the best I’ve ever had. The cheese 🧀 was a nice bonus. The staff was super friendly.

The steak on the Philly steak sandwich was very tender. Lobster roll had a good amount of lobster. Was excellent

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience

Food was delicious! I hope they come back, would love to support again. The guy working the truck was so nice and had great customer service skills!

Everything was very good. I had the three tacos, shrimp, pork and chicken. Shrimp and pork were very tasty. The chicken was dry and lacking taste. Overall, nice tacos. Great corn shell, very tasty and fresh.

but the cheese sauce on the Philly egg rooms was way to spicy and egg roll itself was blend - could use seasoning or cheese sauce that was better seasons and not just spicy hot but everything else is awesome hot and fresh
