We came for lunch and stayed two hours. We choose Brick and Butter, and Crepe Up for for our food and then coffee afterwards. The tables in the shade provided comfortable temps, even though it was hot. This is a fun place to spend an afternoon. Lots of food trucks to choose from.
Some of the best noodles I've ever had!!! It had a spicy peanut sauce that was addicting. The dumplings were delicious and my husband loved the rice bowl.
The short: Food trucks, craft beer, cushy couches, long tables, corn hole, and open space join together to provide a fun family-friendly and adult open-air destination. I like this location to bring out-of-town friends and family. The details. The food trucks and bar line the open multi-use space in the middle. Tables and chairs filled the space one time I stopped in and a corn-hole league the next time. Friends and families seemed to enjoy gathering at this location. Both Brick & Butter and 503 Latin Fusion served up some tasty dishes. I enjoyed the authentic tasting Asada Steak Taco dish where simple ingredients highlighted the overall flavor. I wished that Lobos Coffee didn't close so early! I've been happy to find the craft beer selection to be diverse and not IPA-heavy, and enjoyed the options. The rest: Parking onsite is available, but limited. The owners advise carpooling and street parking in the neighborhood is limited.
This is a cute little open air food court area with a bar. I love the concept of the idea and everyone was really friendly. It was nice and clean and I enjoyed it. I did however go at lunchtime and most of the locations weren't open yet. I'm sure it's really happening at night.
Such a fun community spot. Works super well for the hosted event that I attended recently. Only bit of note that there was an event right after the ours and there was a lot of shuffling around. Might need to add in a buffer time of tear down/set up and let vendors know what time they can start so that there isn't confusion and rush on-site. The space itself was very clean and has a nice shaded area and turf in the sunshine. Lobos Coffee was one of the event's vendors and their drinks were SO GOOD. I ordered the chai latte, iced, with oat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. Out of the 4 drinks, everyone liked mine a lot. Probably one of the best vanilla chais that I've had. The owner/cashier was so nice too.
A La Cart in the Mills area is a great venue. If you're in that area, support local! To my surprise, my daughter was asked to perform at a K-POP/Christmas themed meet up at A La Cart in SODO! So awesome to see K-POP get the love in central Florida! Just like Mills, SODO has several food trucks with different food offerings, including a bar with craft drinks. The lawn is much more spacious than Mills, with several vendors taking advantage of the room to sell their wares. I helped my daughter bring in her set up, and as the music session started, a couple of the owners were concerned about the volume being too low. They wanted to make sure she could be heard! Thank you for that! I'm glad they accommodated her by shutting off the music in the bar area until she was finished with her set! Thank you to the K-POP/Christmas promoter Jenn Marasigan for inviting Ava to do her first solo performance in a public venue! She had fun! And thank you to A La Cart SODO for being such a great and welcoming venue! "They're your taste buds. Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz
My first visit and loved the food, atmosphere and the plethra of food choices and drinks. It's a great place to unwind and relax after a busy day and truly a kid and family friendly atmosphere. You won't be dissapointed! My food of choice was Barrio Espanol! The Tapas Sampler and Churros was to die for!
There are so many great options here for a group with different cravings! They've got TVs (go sports!), a nice selection of beverages, and both indoor and patio seating. Right now, there's even a small pumpkin patch you can buy from! It's such a fun seasonal touch. Each food truck has its own kiosk where you can order easily, and you'll get a text when your food's ready, which makes the process super convenient. We tried two different trucks and both hit the spot for what we were craving. Next time, I'd definitely reorder the chicken skewers and potatoes from the Spain food truck since those were delicious! I'd probably skip the ceviche sushi, though; it was a bit mild in flavor for me. Parking is a little limited, but we've always been able to find a spot without much trouble. You can also order ahead online if you'd rather grab and go instead of dining at A La Cart.
I have not been here on a weekends night in a very long time. I stopped and hung out with some friends before heading to boxy Park later in the evening this evening I got the contraband sour. It is a beer from Knoxville, Tennessee, according to the can, it is 6.3% alcohol by volume, it is 473 mL, and it's also gluten-free. This sour was recommended to me by the gentleman manning behind the bar. It has flavors of strawberry, cucumber, orange, zest, and lime. The color of the sour reminds me of a thicker version of cranberry juice. Tonight it is very loud. There are a couple of parties in the inside area that are very loud so it's a little bit hard to hear however, this place is always a go to. For myself! 10/10 Love it here
Great spot to try a bunch of different food. Food at some places did take a while to come out but this is a fun family friendly atmosphere.
I always have a great time here! It's kind of like my neighborhood bar. All the bartenders are always super nice. I didn't go for food and I usually don't; I went for a little Saint Patrick's drink with the family. My drink had a flavor profile of cereal and lime as I remember it.
Cool vibe spot in SoDo. Feels a bit roomier than the original milk district location. Plenty of choices for beer, food, and other drinks. It's a bit hidden so keep an eye out. I liked how it's perfect for a nice Florida fall day. Definitely will return with more coworkers next time.
I had heard so many things about A La Cart but had never been until now. I get the hype! It's nice to have a place where you and your friends or partner can get very different things if you're not on the same page. I tried the sushi truck, it was solid. The pizza spot was even better, but I really loved the viral ice cream that looked like fruit! It was so tasty and refreshing on a hot day. Plenty of tables and green space. Good drink options, my only complaint is I wish they served the "brunch cocktails" all day. The beer-mosa is so delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more food options!
I have been meaning to go to this A La Cart in SoDo for a while based on word of mouth and all the positive comments on Yelp. Well, finally I got my chance, and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the staff and the food trucks! My friends, Lorn C. and Mikhail C., joined me as they have been here numerous times and raved about it. The place defines a relaxed and good time environment. The set up is very relaxing with inside and outside seating and food trucks all along the outside walls. I started off with a Mark West Pinot Noir as my friends enjoyed their beers. I remember reading about the food truck, La Taqueria, and decided to give it a try. I ordered the birria tacos, and it was a hearty helping of flavorful accompaniments besides three tacos stuffed with delicious meat. The platter came with separate sides of diced tomatoes and onions, a lime wedge, a tangy green sauce and a hefty portion of amazing birria consommé. The consommé was rich, savory and spiced perfectly. I definitely would return to this food truck in the future! Besides the cool environment, I especially appreciated the automated water dispenser by the bar. Most places make you purchase water in bottles, but here, you just up to the bar, request a glass (not a plastic cup-another reason for 5 stars!) and you can refill your glass as many times as you want. I can see why this place was busy with patrons even on a Thursday night after a brief rain spell. I may have been late to catching onto A La Cart, but I'm a fan now. read more
Where can you find me and my little family on a Friday evening? Right here, that's where! My family and I love love love visiting after a long week of working and parenting. Our children love to run around and play with the other kids. They have ample amount of chairs, but don't feel shy to bring your own picnic blanket, which we do often. This place is so special to us because when my daughter started learning how to walk, she took her a few of her beginner steps here and we have it on video. Such a sweet moment to have recorded! Staff members of the actual venue are attentive and provide such great service. This is definitely go to spot for when the weather is beautiful good to us Floridians. They have a wash station right outside for your convenience and also clean bathrooms inside. We've even hosted a friends birthday party here, but I will admit it's a little too hot for many of us, especially children, during the peak of summer. But an incredible spot to enjoy during fall, winter, and spring! A side note, you are not allowed to bring your pets unfortunately, but it makes sense due to their set up. There is a wide variety of vendors for you to choose food, drinks, and snacks from. At this point, I truly believe we have completed a full rotation and have eaten at every food truck possible. A few of my favorites are the Smashburger, Asian fusion, sushi, Cuban, crepe, and pizza! read more

I had a really good time at A La Carte at Soto. It's a fun setup with a variety of food trucks there were at least six or more, so plenty of options to explore and something for everyone. We ended up trying a Korean street food truck where we ordered loaded tostones and a couple of sushi rolls. Everything we tried was really good and satisfying. After eating, we also sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple glasses of wine, which made for a nice, relaxed evening. The seating area is pretty spacious and there's a lot of room to sit and move around, which I appreciated. That said, being in Florida during the summer, it was very hot, and there were quite a few flies around the outdoor seating areas. I'd also note there were a lot of kids in the central courtyard space, which seemed like it's designed as a family-friendly area. Overall though, it's a great spot with lots of variety, and I'd definitely go back to try more food trucks. Next time I'll just come prepared with bug spray (and maybe drink covers) to make the experience even more comfortable. Definitely worth checking out for a casual food truck night. read more

A very pretty environment, chill vibes! If you're not the biggest fan of children running around, bumping into you/ the table, and don't like them screaming then don't go on the weekends. Besides that, the food was great we got the smash burger and crepes; absolutely amazing and will return in the future! read more

Ordered the chicken with rice and noodles from Over rice. Chicken is savory, a little salty and has a little kick. Comes with lumpia- fried spring roll. It is good and crispy. It's a little expensive at 20$ but worth it. Had to wait for 15 mins but worth it. It's a food truck so no service. read more
I came here for the first time and had a positive experience. Although, ungodly hot, there were a few different shaded areas for seating. There were plenty of various food vendors and good drink options. It was a cool space, with a nice mural that my wife was happy to snap a picture in front of. My favorite thing I got had to be the viral fruit ice cream. It looked cool and tasted great too! And it was the perfect way to stay cool in the Florida heat. I tried the mango, my wife tried the peach. Both were delicious, but I would definitely get the mango again! read more
As a member of the A La Cart "Monday Runday" crew I can say I truly love coming here. There's always great beer on tap and the staff are always helpful and friendly. As a frequenter of the original A La Cart in the milk district, I was so happy when this location opened a little bit closer to my house. And let's be honest, the extra space and parking is definitely a nice and much needed extra benefit. My only "complaint" is that it can get hot here in the summer since it's all technically outdoors but it's truly not enough to keep me away. I even stopped by this past monday and enjoyed a run and a beer in the rain. I'll for sure keep coming back at least on Mondays! read more

Finally made it out to the new A La Cart location in SoDo and this is such a great spot! It's a bit more spacious than the original location with 8 food truck options to choose from plus 2 bars. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with tables, lounge areas, and lawn games. This is definitely one of the most family friendly local hotspots and there are always a ton of kids running around, playing. We met up with some friends that we haven't seen for awhile and it's nice that there are so many different types of cuisine available here. There's truly something for everyone! There's coffee, breakfast, pizza, smash burgers, German food, Filipino/Hawaiian food, sushi, Latin fusion, Caribbean, Spanish tapas and more! Not to mention the extensive beer list at the A La Cart bar, along with wine, cocktails and other non-alcoholic options. I ordered from the Oldenburg German food truck and OverRice (Filipino/Hawaiian). The lumpia and ono mac are always a must from OverRice. I also got a street brat and German pretzels with beer cheese from Oldenburg. Everything was delicious! I also discovered a new favorite cider at the bar -- the Schilling Mango Excelsior imperial cider. Wow, I'm obsessed. It was light & refreshing and 9.1% ABV! I never knew a cider could pack that much punch. I'll definitely be on the lookout for that in the future. We got there before noon on a Saturday and it was still pretty empty at that time, but by 1pm the place was very full. The weather was beautiful so I'm sure everyone wanted to get outside and enjoy it! read more

Love this new area and the shared space where you can interact with people. I don't dislike kids but, AT NIGHT ?!?!? the last thing you want is kids running and screaming around you! big no no The red panda food was absolutely amazing! The fried chicken was unbelievably tasty! Loved it! read more
Love this second location, bigger space, more food trucks, closer to home ! Various cuisines available... I've had the tacos, sushi, Hawaiian chicken, and all were great. Cant wait to try more options they have right now... smash burgers, pizza, German, Latin, and more. Service at the bar goes quickly and bartenders are friendly. Some covered seating inside, but all open air venue, makes it one cohesive space with the outdoor turf area. It's a very popular place for young families with children in the early evenings, so if you are wanting to avoid that, I'd go a little later. I do wish they had more options on draft for beer but they have an extensive bottle list and many rotating seasonal favorites. Parking lot is on the small side, so I would find a good spot on the street to park. read more

We had a wonderful experience here! Great selection of food trucks and beer. They also had live music going on which was a plus. Gets a little crowded on the weekends but still enough room for the kiddos to run around and have fun. Will definitely be back! read more
Great location in SODO, plenty of parking and seating, clean restrooms with A/C! I ordered a mixed plate from Overrice, a Filipino and Hawaiian food truck. I've had their food at a few events in the past and I'm glad they're a main truck here near my work. I got the Huli Huli chicken and pork adobo; my plate came with two scoops of rice and the macaroni salad which is soooo delicious I would order a plate of the mac salad any day! I really liked the pork adobo - juicy and fall of the bone tender & yumminess! Great portion and customer service. The wait wasn't that long - pretty average food truck wait time. There are lots of options in terms of food: birria, pizza, ice cream, beer. A few of the food trucks were sold out of some ingredients which was a bummer but I'm willing to give it another try. read more
We LOVE a la cart!!! This is a staple for our family, we come at least twice a month. PB&J is my favorite drink to order, the pina colada is also very refreshing! We love the pizza (typically get cheese) and is always cooked perfectly. They always offer to cut into smaller slices since we have a toddler, which is great! We also love the sushi, the rainbow roll is our favorite! Whenever we have friends or family in town, we come to a la cart since there is an option for everyone! read more

First time at À la cart and loved it! So many spots to pick from with each one having mouthwatering selections! I decided to go over rice and ordered the huli huli chicken which included jasmine rice and mac salad. The chicken was delicious and had that smokey fresh off the barbecue flavor. The Mac salad paired so well and the seasoning on top of the rice was soooo good! Overall the plate was $14+tax, but was a good amount of spot!! I would definitely come back to try other food spots. It was Thursday night and it seemed like they were hosting trivia night. Such a chill spot! read more

This is our favorite family spot in central Florida! We always take people here because of the variety in food options (which at this point, we've tried almost every food truck and none of them have missed!). It's spacious for families with kids to run around and play. There's also a smaller area on the side that feels more intimate for gatherings and watching events, sports etc. and is reservable if you have an upcoming event! read more

I'm so excited to have an À La Cart location so close! I've visited their other location and enjoyed it. We checked out the new one. It has a beautiful patio area as well as indoor seating with friendly staff and great options from their food trucks. I was honestly overwhelmed because there were so many yummy options to choose from! They have a great selection of craft beers, so we ordered a couple of rounds. We chose to share a Cuban pizza from Nona Street Pizza. It was delicious with a perfect charred crust and yummy blend of toppings. My only complaint is that it was too hot even inside for my preference. They have open windows and they have shade structures outside, but I don't think they have actual AC from what I saw (I didn't see any vents in the indoor area). I'm a wimp when it comes to heat, yes I'm definitely in the wrong state, but otherwise this is a great spot and I'll definitely return to grab a beer and food. I might just take my food to go if it's too hot for me, and I'll happily plant myself there during cooler months! read more
Another amazing À La Cart location with more parking, but it is still a challenge since they are so popular. Popped in on a Thursday and parked down the street a bit. There is a great variety of food available from the different food trucks. There is also many different beers on tap and in can from a wide variety of breweries. Great options for everyone. All of the staff was friendly and helpful and there was lots of seating. The murals on the wall were also super colorful and went with the space. Great job and looking forward to our next stop in with the rest of the family. read more

So happy A La Cart opened! My mom and I went here for lunch on Friday and it was great! Such a cute atmosphere and great food truck options! I will say it is a little pricey, but worth it for good food, craft beer and a cool vibe. They have different food trucks options including pizza, burgers, sushi, and more. Definitely have something for even the pickiest eaters. Everything looked excellent that we saw here. My mom and I tried the sushi truck and got a tostones crab appetizer which was our favorite. Then we tried both a fried and raw sushi roll. My favorite was the raw roll, which was the rainbow one. Can't go wrong with a classic rainbow roll that's always my go to! I really liked their wasabi (have to request for this!). It had a great kick to it! The fish tasted super fresh. The sushi rolls definitely came out bigger than I was expecting - definitely share! The bar has so many options it is a craft beer lovers dream! They had just opened on Wednesday and there was a decent crowd but our food still came out quickly. I would say they do need a recycle option for cans though! Inside they have a bar for craft beers, wine and cocktails. This is family friendly or perfect for a date night or night out with some friends. I'll definitely be back here! read more
