This is a review for the food truck that was selling food at a UC San Diego event. The burger and the pulled pork sandwich was okay; would have preferred my buns for both sandwiches to be toasted -- this sets you apart from all the other places that serve cold buns. Also wish the little tray of waffle fries was bigger.

The suite at Liberty Public Market that used to house Stuffed! is now the brick and mortar location of the American Flavors food truck. They have a similar but slightly smaller menu than what the truck offers. Burgers, hot dogs, and hot sandwiches (chicken, pulled pork) were the featured items. All of the hamburgers are served with two all-natural Angus beef patties and two slices of cheese so you are getting a lot of meat and paying a commensurate price. I picked the Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of seasoned waffle fries ($12). The smoked pulled pork came with a couple of pieces of bacon topped with a BBQ sauce, pickles, and a house-made slaw. The sauce was more sweet than tangy, but it complemented the moist pork very well. The waffle fries were addictive as I could have eaten a large basket of them. For quality and value, I gave this experience a 3.5 star rating.

The first signs of disappointment in my "Blue bacon burger"
Kevin B.

Well... In all my years I've never had bad or disgusting food off a truck until today. I really don't know where to start. I ordered up The "Blue bacon burger" Which List out what's on it, blue cheese crumbles, Bacon, spring mix, onions, tomatoes. The burger turned out to be more of a vegetarian burger with blue cheese spread. There wasn't any bacon that I could see or taste and there wasn't much of a meat patty at all. The meat Patty reminded me of a big Mac that you buy at McDonald's very thin and very small. It was more of a vegetarian blue cheese burger because the only thing you could taste was the blue cheese spread extremely overpowering and I like blue cheese. Then let's move onto the price. it's listed out at $12.50 but when I paid the total was $14.22 which of course I didn't realize until after I paid. (My Fault, I should've had them cancel it right there) I just got the burger no sides which means they charged an extra dollar for The privilege of me using my credit card. I wish that was posted or explained to me so I could've paid cash! I definitely am soured on the food truck experience now and won't be going back to a food truck for a very long time. I could've got a sandwich from inside my work for third of the price.

Irresistible fries!

It doesn't get any better than this! We had a little community gathering and they RAVED about the fries and all the food! Ornela was great when coordinating and I could tell she was busy but made time to make sure we were set for our event and even moved some things around to make sure we had the right truck! They got to the event ahead of schedule, set up was fast, they helped us organize the tickets efforts so we kept count along the way of how many guests we were serving and it was a HUGE HIT! My whole team (Team Kolker Real Estate) is looking forward to more events with their food trucks in the future!

Daily special! Pulled pork sandwich with sriracha aioli with a side of truck made chips!
Justin A.

Wow, this food truck really changed my mind about how pulled pork sandwiches should be! Another food truck that came to my workplace, American Flavors was a new sight here. Expect to spend around $10-15 on a sandwich or burger along with some fries. I ended up getting the daily special which was a pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun with Sriracha aioli which also came with truck made chips. This pulled pork sandwiches was bar none, the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. The pork was cut into thick chunks that were charred and smokey like a perfectly grilled rack of barbecue, stripped off the bone and cut up into amazing pulled pork. Throw in thick little bacon bits and you've got a sandwich made in heaven. I only give four stars, I would give 4.5 if I could because the chips were not as amazing as the pulled pork sandwich. I wanted to delve into the mystery of their truck made criss-cut fries but for an extra $3? My frugal self could not push myself to do it. Next time, I'm getting a grilled cheese pulled pork sandwich, YES CHEESE WITH THIS SANDWICH, I know I'm already excited too.

The chip were a bonus  yeah!

Today I tried there sliders and they were a mouth full! The first one was the chicken sliders and it came with a soft slider bun with blue cheese and buffalo sauce sooo yummy , the the slider I got was the pulled pork with bacon OMG it was sooo tasty and full of bacon and love , the tasty slider completely took me for a falling in love again with BBQ pulled pork sandwich I had back in high school high , wow that's how I felt so I'm happy excellent customer service and food I'll be back !

love this place. might be our favorite burger place in san diego!…read more we got the mini cheeseburger with fries and the chili burger. both were delicious in their own way. the fries are great wedge fries with a good crunch and flavoring on the outside but soft and pillowy on the inside. we also got a vanilla shake that was huge. after drink half we brought home the rest which filled up their whole to go cup! there was plenty of seating when we went and the staff was super attentive and brought out our food fast.

We grabbed a late lunch at Hodad's today. We waited a few minutes by the entrance, and we were then…read moreseated at a high-top table. Our orders were taken quickly, and large waters with lemon were brought out to us. Our burgers came out in about 7 minutes and they were just what the doctor ordered. :) My chicken burger was especially delicious, and I'd asked for extra pickles, and let's just say that the Hodad's chefs did not disappoint. There had to be at least 15 pickles on this bad boy. YUM! Onion rings were crispy and delicious. M. loved his burger and as usual, his only complaint was that he wished it was bigger. Haha. We enjoyed our food and the fun, kitschy Hodad's dining area. I feel like every time I come here, I spot something on the walls, or dangling from somewhere, that I haven't seen before. It's always a good time at Hodad's and it is certainly worth a visit if you haven't been here before. Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.) However, the table next to us ordered shakes and they looked hella good. Next time for us, for sure!! Mahalo!

I've gotten the mushroom ricotta slice and the cheeseburger and boy is it's greasy and scrumptious all in one. A nice spot to stop by for a quiet bite and you don't have to wait too long. Definitely a spot to check out for a beer and slice.

Short story: service sucks and the food was meh…read more Long story: I've been really looking forward to eating here for a long time. It's always popping up as one of the best burgers in San Diego. The vibe in the place was cool. Bustling and music blasting. I look around for the menu. Not easy to find. I guess it's one of those "if you know you know" but then I saw a small chalkboard that listed the burger and a tiny printout pizza menu way in the back. I order a burger and coke. So pumped to try it. I ask for no onions and the guy at the register immediately cops a huge attitude like I ruined his day. He points at the chalkboard and says "no substitutions". I reply "no biggie! I can scrape em off or something" dude looks pissed and says "they're hard to scrape off" I know reading this I may sound unreasonable. Maybe dude was having a bad day. But the way he was looking and speaking to me made me want to walk away from the counter not bother ordering. If you are great at burgers but not customer service maybe stay off the register and stick to the grill. My friend with me goes "not very friendly for a place called the friendly" so it wasn't just me. The burger comes out. Honestly I'd bet on a good day it's great. But today it wasn't. Overly greasy. Ironically all of the onions slid right off so I'm not sure why he feels it would be too difficult for me to remove myself. The burger could barely stay in the bun it was so greasy. The aioli spread was all on one side of the burger and it was a mess. I'm not sure if maybe this place used to be great and since has declined, or if the staff was just having such an off day that it reflected in the effort of the food. Or if the guy just had some issue and felt like taking it out on us today. But needless to say. There's plenty of amazing smash burger places in San Diego. Excited to try somewhere else.

Stopped in last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. Although Del's doesn't take reservations, we were able to snag a few tables right next to the kids play area. It was perfect since we had so many kids in our party. All the food was delicious -- from their baked beans, corn bread, onion rings, and to their barbecue selection. We ordered the 12 party meal plus some appetizers for the kids such as the Mac & cheese and chicken tenders. Everyone was commenting on how good everything was. Honestly, this has become one of our favorite barbecue spots! Their bbq sauce is also really good, it had the right amount of sweetness and slight tang without being too thick. Would definitely recommend to anyone who just wants to watch the game by themselves or bring a large party. Thank you Del's for making it a memorable night!
