They had people waiting, she advised me about the wait time.
Didn't bother me.
Ordered brisket sandwich.
Delicious, I even ate the potato salad, and I only eat my mother's.
I was not disappointed.

Owner response

Well Thank you Mr Melendez for your visit , we truly appreciate you stopping by and giving us your feedback, hope to see you soon again.

I will say the food is of good quality but the price isn't worth it.
I had placed an order in advance but I get there and was told I had to wait and re-order again.
Ok fine, it was busy whatever.
Got my plates and the "beef rib" and the BBQ cup price was outrageous.
$14 for a medium cup of food.
I open the beef rib plate.
Just bone and fat with a splash of potatoes.
The tiny bit of meat I had was really good but for the money I spent, I should have done my own BBQ.
Worst food truck I have ever been to.

Owner response
