Banana Pancake

Alexa is probably the nicest food truck operator I've ever met. She remembers your name and your order once you've ordered a few times. All of her staff are really friendly and they make some really good food! Alexa has pretty much everything on the menu and if it's not on there, she'll most likely still make it for you. The prices are really good and the food is really good. On Taco Tuesday you can get any taco she has for $1. Why pay $3-$4 per taco at another place when you can get really good ones for $1! Alexa accepts credit cards, cash and now Venmo which is awesome. Alexa also makes hundreds of breakfast burritos for our company every few months when we have a breakfast event and they are all really good! If Alexa is setting up by you for the first time, definitely go check her and her awesome food truck out!

I've come back here a few times now and it confirms that this is a pretty good taco truck (in Irvine, that is) for a lunch pit stop. I've tried the tacos with carnitas and fish, both were good. I liked how they use guacamole on them. I also tried the carne asada torta. I like how they season the carne asada and on the sandwich they put lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and also, sour cream. I enjoyed the sandwich especially because they toast the bread! The whole sandwich just didn't taste like it came off a taco truck!! Will make this a stop whenever I feel the need for a roach coach fix but don't want to drive far.

iCinco de Mayo! What else would a Korean man eat other than Mexican food? Nothing! My colleague's apartment complex has a different truck come every Thursday and when he found out Alexa was going to be there, he invited me over to grub. And grub we did. Between the two of us, we ordered six tacos (two each of the carne asada, carnitas and al pastor), a breakfast burrito and carne asada fries. And that was just as an appetizer. No, I'm just kidding; that was our meal. Relax. The tacos were good; they all came w/ onions, cilantro, guacamole and salsa. In all honesty, they didn't blow me away with flavor, but I enjoyed each one, especially the al pastor. I've had al pastor that was way too salty, but this one tasted really good. The breakfast burrito was a bit smaller than I'm used to and it also didn't have too much flavor, but I liked it. I'm a sucker for breakfast burritos, so I would probably order this again... but I wish it had a bit more personality. Looks can only get you so far, know what I'm sayin'? Finally, the carne asada fries, in my opinion, stole the show. Generous amounts of carne asada, cheese, guacamole and sour cream were given, but the thing that stood out to me was how the fries remained crispy throughout our meal. The fries themselves aren't anything out of the ordinary; they're basically the Ore-Ida fries you can get at a market, but they were perfectly crispy. 3.5 stars. I wouldn't go out of my way to find them, but if I see them, I won't hesitate to pull over.

This is bullshit.

So I have a story for you guys. This food truck is parked outside my office at like ten a.m. everyday. This review is about three of their menus items. First day I was here I heard rave reviews about the Breakfast Burrito. After trying it for myself I'm convinced my coworkers either don't have very good taste buds or they're not really used to good food in general. The first bite, it was gummy and it was if I was eating cardboard scrambled eggs. So I tried it with the sauce they give you upon purchasing it, and that scorched my tongue. Then I got to the bacon. It was hard, oily and tough to chew. So death to the breakfast burrito. Waste of four dollars I could have bought two monsters with. Second day I was there I had the Steak and Egg Burrito. Let's just say you're better off eating a dried prune, chances are that'll have more juice and flavor. The protein was over cooked, tough, dry like the Sahara desert and the salsa sauce was very salty and spicy. I mean if you're going to make a sauce you give out to everyone shouldn't it be mild? Another four dollars wasted. The third day I went to the truck, I had heard from multiple people that the grilled cheese was amazingly delicious so I thought I'd give this food truck one last time to redeem itself. But sadly it disappointed just like the two previous times. I mean really? HOW DO YOU MESS UP A GRILLED CHEESE?!??! I went with the Wheat Bread Grilled Cheese. One side was burnt and chard while the other side wasn't even toasted. The cheese wasn't melted all the way and it was just horribly greasy. Yet another $2.50 wasted. So in closing and $10.50 later I've concluded that I'd rather make my own damn food than go to this food truck again. I'm thoroughly convinced this food truck should go out if business. I mean how do you mess up a damn grilled cheese sandwich.

she makes a stop at our work =]

I've been a loyal customer for this truck for almost 5 months now. She really cares for her customers and even remembers your name. I come out and buy from her truck at least once a week. A lot of times is more than that (she makes a stop at my work M-F). She always has her specials written on her mini white board. Some of the usual ones are taco Tuesdays and shrimp cocktail Fridays. She can also make you whatever item she has on her larger menu and you can customize it however you want. For instance, I love all the items described in her veggie burrito, but I just ask her to remove the sour cream and add chicken to it, and she does it!! she also has a huge drink selection and a variety of snacks to choose from.

Malibu Chicken Sandwich, seasoned fries and a coke.  Lunch in my car.

I really enjoy Alexas Catering, Liz and her team are great at what they do. Feeding me... I have been going to "Liz" as we call it, going on 3 yrs now. Alexas catering is a family bases business and you can tell because they treat everyone like family. They have great $1 Taco Tuesdays, they even have papa tacos. Everyone has their favorite dish or special dish she prepares as well, I do a Protein Burrito, its a Bean, Cheese burrito with two sunny side eggs. Mmm. They also has a variety of Salads, Fruits bowls and other health snacks as well. If you see Alexas Catering pulling up, Dont hesitate to walk up and see what's for Breakfast or Lunch. I recommend their: Tacos Burritos Malibu Chicken Sandwich Thank you Liz and Alexa Catering

Spectacular ceviche as well as every dish catered over the weekend. Pretty sure we could have fed the Florida State football team to boot.

Man, I recently attended a first birthday party catered by them, and let me tell you, their food has been living rent-free in my mind ever since. SO GOOD! First, let's talk brisket. Their halal brisket is so juicy and flavorful, it might just ruin you for all other BBQs. I mean, I've made my own brisket before, but I can never get it this juicy! It's like they took a brisket and sent it to flavor boot camp. And those smash burgers? Wow. Each bite is a symphony of taste--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with so much flavor that you'll be dreaming of them long after your plate is empty. The staff and owners are just as delightful as the food they serve. Friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do, they make you feel like part of the family. Whether you're throwing a big bash or a small get-together, these folks can handle it all with a smile. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! I think they currently do lunches with their food truck in Santa Ana M-Th!

I also got a lengua taco and he got a suadero taco. They asked if we wanted hand-made tortillas for each item -- we said yes -- and it looks like they charged an extra 50 cents each. For 5 tacos and 2 mulitas, it came out to about $40, which felt expensive, but we figured it was fine since we were trying it for the first time and were really craving Mexican food on our way home. They gave us green and red salsa, marinated spicy onions, radishes, and lemons. When we opened everything at home, the portions looked really good, so we didn't feel as bad about the price. I actually had enough leftovers for two more meals, so in the end it worked out. My husband loved the mulita and said it was super good. The lengua taco was packed with meat and totally worth it (it was around $3.50 including the hand-made tortilla). Honestly though, I don't think the hand-made tortilla was worth the extra charge -- it didn't reheat well the next day and got kind of dry. The green salsa didn't have much flavor, but the red was pretty good. I ended up adding some of my bottled salsas from home to amp it up a little. For the area that it's located, it's really good and I would get food from this place again. I would probably order ahead for pick-up though since you'd just be waiting on the sidewalk for a while if you order there.
