So this past Saturday was my baby cousin's 1st birthday and baptism. My uncle and aunt are pretty young and they live in Irvine, so they keep in touch with some modern trends like the food truck craze that has been prominent for the past few years.
My uncle and aunt tried numerous food trucks and picked this one for the baptism/birthday party for my baby cousin.
The menu they had there was:
Tacos: Hanger Steak, Pork Belly, Carnitas
Other: Carnitas Fries, Vegetable Curry Lavosh
Salads: Fried Chicken Salad, Kale Salad
I tried the Hanger Steak and Pork Belly tacos, with Carnita fries and the Fried Chicken salad. I stole a bite from my mom's Lavosh as well.
Well-established among the depths of the internet and (don't take my word for this, as I've only heard from my brother" the #1 food truck in the Irvine area, and the #2 restaurant in the Irvine area, which are both great attributes.
The hanger steak taco was good, well marinated and savory yet spicy, that came topped with a chipotle-spiced coleslaw. The pork belly taco was my favorite, with a prominent aroma and taste of cinnamon, topped with the same coleslaw and a house guacamole that had black beans studding the green mixture.
The carnitas fries are one of their most famous dishes, taking an American Classic and topping it with carnitas, sour cream/crema, the house guacamole, and coleslaw. Great symphony of flavors.
The fried chicken salad was prepared with spinach and other greens with a well seasoned breaded cubed chicken breast. Dressed in a light vinaigrette, this was a light and comforting salad to eat.
The wait was moderate, not too slow but not fast either. It could be a longer line when they're on the clock since this was a private event.
I'm not going to give them much of a score since this is my first food truck experience, but I will be confident in giving them a 9.0 out of 10 for friendly service, clean facilities, and above all great food.
