Buffalo Chicken Fries $10

Nice and hot, good amount of food for the price. This is the $10 buffalo chicken fries. They also do bowl sized portions but the price wasn't listed. A sign said they charge a credit card fee of .50 for orders under $17, and $1 for more than $17.

Garlic Chicken Plate ($8.50) and Fire Fries ($5)
Vanna S.

So, I first found Aunty Lynne's food truck at the Surf Dog competition in Imperial Beach. Having had Hawaii withdrawals, I saw they have sort of a Hawaiian fusion menu. I tried the Garlic Chicken Bowl ($5 - comes with rice and broccoli) and it was DELICIOUS!!! It reminded me of my favorite garlic chicken dish in Oahu. I asked the man who was working where else I can find the food truck and I followed them later to the Food Truck Fridays event at Balboa Park. It wasn't surprising that there was a long line waiting to order. That day, I ordered the Garlic Chicken plate ($8.50 - comes with a side salad, rice, and macaroni salad) and the Fire Fries ($5). The Garlic Chicken is so crispy and filled with lots of flavor! I like that there isn't actual garlic pieces in the chicken, but you can still taste the garlic and it's not overpowering. I probably shouldn't but I could probably eat it everyday. The Fire Fries were good but could be better. I really loved the Cajun seasoning; it was savory, spicy, and sweet. I want a jar of it! I just found it disappointing that the fries weren't fully coated and the seasoning kept falling off of the fries. I would recommend this food truck! I received good service the two times I was here. Aunty Lynne's is also affordable for the amount of food they give. I hope they continue to be in business for years so that I can have them cater my future parties! :)

Terrible service. Literally took an hour AND a half for my kids to order and get their food. I had to wait to get mine and now I've been in line an hour and haven't ordered. I'd like to go someplace else but they have a monopoly on the hot food for an outdoor event. The kids said the food was worth the wait. Probably it was. Chicken nuggets drizzled (not smothered or fully covered) with appropriately ordered sauce. I've not ordered. Still. But I'm bored and writing this review while I wait. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt with an extra star than I normally would rate due to SSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW service. It's freaking cold. Brrrr UPDATE: I got my food at 8:51pm -- I got into line at 7:20. I really wanted to like the food and the customer service when they were speaking with me. They weren't rude, but didn't thank me, offered no napkins or forks or condiments. We had to go back twice for mustard, fork, salt, napkins, and a straw. The garlic chicken tasted like pre-cooked warmed up chicken nuggets with minced garlic just put on like salt. I gave this away and ordered a corn dog just in case one of us was still hungry (wasn't about to stand in line again). Fries were typical. Not bad. More potato-y than oily. Just for that, I'll leave the 3 star intact. The corn dog was yummy, though typical and pre-made, theyNOT like the regular frozen ones., they were a tad bigger. I'll give them a third chance (they were here last year, at Santee Lakes).

While I was practicing my golf swing at the driving range one day, I turned around to see a food truck pull up next to the pro shop. I noticed it was an "Island/Asian Fusion" sorta truck. Being that it was a really warm day the first thing I noticed was that they sold shave ice and smoothies. So as soon as I was done pretending to be Tiger Woods, I made my way to the food truck. I was going to just order a smoothie but then I noticed that they also served hot food as well. I'm a sucker for carne asada fries and they had about six different kinds of "fries". From the traditional carne asada fries to Korean BBQ fries. I asked what their specialty was and the friendly lady (who I assumed was Aunty Lynne) told me the Korean BBQ fries were probably their most popular. So that's what I went with. I still also wanted a smoothie so again I asked what she'd recommend. She said the Peanut Butter Cup smoothie was a winner. So I added that to the order. Both the fries and smoothie were delicious. I tore through those KBBQ fries like I hadn't eaten in weeks. And the smoothie was really good, too. Although, I think calling it a Peanut Butter Cup smoothie is a bit misleading. It's actually more of a peanut butter, chocolate, and banana smoothie. The banana is very prominent in the flavor so I think they should consider renaming it. But that's just me being nitpicky. The only two "cons" I could see from my first experience here are: 1) I wish there was a bit more meat on the fries. 2) The size of the order of fries is about half of what you'd get for a full order of carne asada fries at a taqueria. So nothing major really. I don't consider the size of the fries a ripoff because they were so damn tasty! So in my book, they've definitely earned this 4 star rating. I'm going to keep an eye out for these guys in the future for sure!

Food Truck Friday at Balboa Park
Lena Y.

This rating is purely based on the shave ice. I had the opportunity to try it at Food Truck Friday at Balboa Park. There's a fine line between shave ice and snow cone...it's a snow cone...friendly service, but a $6 snow cone.

A+ rating!!

Aunty Lynne's is the best!!! If you're in San Diego, you have to go and eat at Aunty Lynne's. Extremely reasonable prices and a lot of awesome food options. Korean BBQ or carne asada fries to Filipino favorites of adobo and lumpia Amazing! You can't go wrong here. Aunty Lynne is really friendly and the service is quick and easy. This will be the next food truck success story for sure. Happy and glad that it is here in SD than LA. :)

Taro and Thai tea with boba
Miss R.

I caught up with this truck at Balboa Park. Ordered the Korean BBQ over fries and a teriyaki chicken plate over rice with 2 bubble teas, the Taro and Thai flavored ones. There was a pretty long line and they ran out of rice (which is why I ended up with Korean BBQ over fries) but that's ok. Service was rather quick and the people working this truck were fantastic. Prices were ok. $9 per plate and $5 per tea iirc. I don't make it a common practice to order from food trucks but I was pretty satisfied with my visit.

I have eaten here twice at work same dish I order Korean BBQ meal for $11. First time was really good. 2nd time my meat was so fatty it was gross. See photo... That's all fat. More fat then meat.

Korean BBQ fries...large order.

But the hospitality is what made this place special to us from the beginning. For us, that started with Frank. He's since moved on to other CH Projects, but we still remember how welcome he made us feel. Our experience with him at Neighborhood was really the beginning of us falling in love with CH Projects as a whole. When I think about why we keep coming back, people like Frank are a huge part of that. And the food has stayed so consistently good. The Hood Burger, bone marrow, bolognese, burrata, pierogies, bloomin' onion... at this point, I'm practically listing the menu. In all the years we've been coming here, I honestly can't think of a bad dish we've had. It's one of our favorite places to work into a night out because we know we're going to eat well and enjoy being there. On our latest visit, Drew reminded me of exactly how we felt when we first came here and met Frank. He was so kind, patient, and hospitable, and he made our experience every bit as memorable. Years later, getting that same level of care means a lot. While we were waiting for our food, I also noticed some guests being unnecessarily rude to the staff, especially Drew. He kept his composure and stayed professional throughout it, even when people weren't giving him the same respect he was giving them. That made me appreciate him even more and want to take the time to give him the recognition he deserves. Drew, thank you for taking such good care of us. I hope the people you work with know how much of an impression you leave on guests. The food and atmosphere give us plenty of reasons to come back, and people like you and Frank are what make Neighborhood top tier. Five stars, without hesitation.

Sometimes you find the best places because you're actually looking for somewhere else…read more Neighborhood is right in front of Young Blood, and after our cocktail experience, the bartender was so damn nice that we ended up stopping back in with her for French fries and another cocktail. Honestly, this is how a night out should work. No rigid itinerary. Just good people, fries, cocktails and one more stop because nobody was ready to go home yet.

We were only there to get dinner and so we didn't realize that you can also just come for the live music with a $10 admission fee. When we approached the host station, Wilbur the host and server he explained it to us. Since we were just having dinner, we were good to be seated in the dining room. We were seated in the middle of the room at a bar top dining table. They did have booths, but they were all taken. It was still a really good spot and as we could see the televisions above the bar. This is a really lively place on Friday night. Some patrons pay $10 for live music and dancing. They also have access to the bar in the dancing area which is a patio outside. We ordered: Cornbread appetizer, 1 Flat iron steak dinner-cooked medium, and 1 Cobb Salad with Chicken added as a protein. I don't care for balsamic vinaigrette, so I requested that my dressing was the Caesar dressing. I also had a Tamarindo margarita which was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were very busy. There were two ladies as bartenders. They were very, very efficient and I watched them operate. The vibe and the customer service at the bar seemed great. The patrons in the dancing area with live music had access to a bar window so that they could make their drink orders at that bar window. I thought this was very convenient. Our food came out in a timely manner and the cornbread was absolutely delicious. It comes with a honey butter that is very tasty. My husband said his flat iron steak was great and he ate the whole meal. He seemed to really enjoy it, which was nice. I was a little full from the cornbread so I only ate maybe a third of my Cobb salad. The Cobb salad was really good and fresh. The added protein was grilled chicken and it was a dry. The Caesar dressing was absolutely yummy. I noted that it also had a garlic flavor to it which contributed to the enhancement of taste. Our server's name was Wilbur and he took care of us for the whole dining experience. He had excellent customer service and was very attentive overall. We really appreciated how Wilbur was so dedicated to detail as our server. He checked on us appropriately, he verified what we needed, and he also just sort of took care of everything when it came to packing up our food to go. Since we are new customers, we will probably come back just because of the excellent customer service from Wilbur. The food was good and very reasonably priced. My Margarita was also fantastic. Again, the vibe was great and a lot of positive energy is going on here. Thanks for a great experience Wilbur! Also the manager or owner of the establishment checked in with us while we were finishing up our dining. This was a very meaningful encounter and we appreciate appreciated it as well. It's always nice to see the owner or manager taking pride in their venue.

This is probably the longest overdue review I have ever written, but at this point, not writing it…read morealmost feels selfish because I would very much like to always be able to get a table here. But alas, Carbon Angela's Kitchen deserves every flower, every reservation, every "you have to try this place" text thread, and every bit of love. This place has become one of my absolute favorite hidden gems in San Diego. Easily top five for me, and as someone who dines out a lot for a living, that is not a casual statement. There are places you like, places you recommend, and then there are places that start to feel woven into your actual life. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is that for me. Angela is truly the heart of this place. She has this way of making you feel like you are not just coming in for dinner, but being welcomed into something she deeply cares about. And Emanuele is absolutely part of that magic too. Together, they have built something that feels warm, generous, soulful, and so special. They feel like long-lost friends and family now, and I am honestly just so proud of them and all they are creating. The food is the kind that makes you want to order with the whole table in mind. The griglia mista is hands down one of the best investments you can make if you are dining with a group. It is the meat platter, it is the moment, and it is absolutely worth ordering. Four to five people can split it, especially if you are also doing appetizers, salad, wine, and a few extra things for the table. It is such a perfect nod to what Carbon was before Angela took over, when the space leaned more BBQ, but now it feels beautifully married with Angela's warmth, Italian influence, and the kind of hospitality that makes the whole meal feel like an experience. And please do not sleep on the rest of the menu. The short rib is fire. The arancino trio is always a yes. The eggplant croquette? Obsessed. The crespelle? So good. The Everything Salad is my favorite salad on the menu, and the street corn should never, under any circumstances, be skipped. I said what I said. The wine selection is top tier, the appetizers are memorable, and the whole place has that rare magic of feeling cozy, intentional, and completely unpretentious. You can come for a low-key dinner, a girls' night, a celebration, or one of those "we just need a really good meal and a really good glass of wine" kind of evenings. And the back patio? Perfect for an evening under twinkling lights. It is one of those spaces that just begs for a long table, good conversation, clinking glasses, and the kind of night that accidentally turns into a core memory. They also have catering menus available, which is very important information to keep in your back pocket if you are hosting anything soon. What Angela has built is honestly something to behold. One of the hardest-working restaurateurs doing the dang thing in a city like San Diego, and now opening Bedda across the way too? I am in awe and wonder watching it all unfold. It takes so much courage, grit, taste, excellence, and heart to build what they are building, and you can feel all of it in the room. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is a true labor of love, a hidden gem, and one of those places I will keep cheering for again and again. Go hungry. Order the griglia mista. Get the Everything Salad. Do not skip the street corn. Share Share Share, so you can try a little bit of everything and do a tried and true family style meal, you won't regret it.
