Erin Keeffe: Get the frito pie!

Victor Vasquez: So good. My son & I went back again to get the Frito Pie. Everything they serve I'd decadent but they don't go crazy on it. Everything we ate was perfectly prepared
Steven S: The chicken in the chicken n waffles is in 3 pieces! Don't let them fall out!
Tara Valhalla: Perfectly fried, applewood smoked bacon, shoved inside mouth watering sandwiches. Yes, thanks. Love this truck!
Wejdan ✨: Love this place!!! The food is amazing! You have to try the coliflor frito, fried cauliflower with spicy creamy sauce on top, so good. It's vegetarian but definitely not healthy.
Matt Opsahl: Brunch outside on the patio. French toast is to die for. Snowcone cocktail a true original. A fuller experience than SF location. Love this place!
