Am I really the first to review this food truck? Wow ... well, here goes!…read more I tried a hamburger from this truck at least a few months ago. It was my first and only time at it, so the experience isn't quite fresh in my mind. I haven't seen the truck out much recently and only just now began to follow it on Facebook (www.facebook.com/bistrobabescafe). The truck also has a Twitter account, too (@bistrobabescafe). Maybe now that I'm monitoring it, I'll see it out again soon and can try some more of its food. The hamburger I tried was excellent, though I can't exactly recall what was on it. I've added a picture here on Yelp so you can at least see its presentation. I do remember that some of the ingredients/toppings were very unique, so if you're into hamburgers then you may want to try the one served at Bistro Babe's. I hope to again soon. For now, I'm giving this four stars since the hamburger was delicious, the service was great and, from what I remember, the rest of the menu consisted of some other seemingly delicious offerings. (I recall that there were at least three things I wanted to try; I couldn't find an online menu at this time, though, so I don't remember exactly what they were.) Trying food at this truck again is at or near the top of my list, though, and once I do that I will post an updated review that has a little more, uh, certainty to it instead of my hazy memories. Check out the truck's FB/Twitter pages for the latest and see if you can give it a shot if you happen to see it in person. EDIT: After I posted this review, I found some pictures from my visit. The burger I had is called the Bleu Bayou Burger (see the picture I've added) ... it had bleu or blue cheese crumbles, hickory-smoked bacon and perhaps a fried onion ring (the picture I've added of the menu is a little bit blurry, but it's looks like that's what it says). It was awesome!

I really hate when I get so disappointed with a dish that I had high hopes for. Quite a few things…read morewent wrong with it. I ordered a shrimp taco for 4 dollars as did my buddy ahead of me. He had to wait a good while to get his. I had to wait even longer 10 or more minutes after him. Other friends I know had gone to a few other food trucks and got food a lot quicker with a longer line. While waiting one of the works stepped out of the truck and started smoking a cigarette. I don't care if you smoke but can you go behind the truck, or out of the way of the customers. The workers were not super nice, nor rude just not very quick at making 1 shrimp taco. When I got the taco it looked nothing like a picture I had seen online which featured plump juicy succulent shrimp. My taco had the tiniest shrimp I have seen about nickel sized. They looked like the little frozen ones I used to feed my pet turtle when I was a kid. Not only that but there were only 3 of them. Because the shrimp element was barely there it caused the pineapple papaya salsa with mango BBQ Sauce to be way overwhelming and for some reason there wasn't much flavor but more heat from the jalapenos that were there. The whole thing was really off balance. So much off balance that I only ate half and threw the other half away. If anyone is reading this and thinking "Why the heck did she give them 2 stars for such an awful experience?" Well because maybe I think the idea is there, maybe the components to something great is there but the balance was extremely off. Maybe something was just off that night, maybe the slow service was just someone on the first day of the job, and after seeing some if the images of the food on places like foodspotting, facebook, etc. Those dishes look pretty darn good. So I gave a little, mistakes happen but for now I can't give them any more of a nudge.

Headed to this event - now located in front of Fashion Square Mall - this past Sunday. Be sure to…read morecheck out the Daily City's calendar on their website and FaceBook page for dates, since this is an ongoing, repeat activity. The trucks change out pretty frequently, so check out the participant listing, too!! This is a great way to get a taste of Orlando all in one place. There are about 15 - 20 trucks on average, at each event. Personal faves include La Empanda and pretty much any truck that has sweets. We just tried the Cake truck (I'm drawing a complete blank on the name - I'll circle back with an update on that) and the Hot Fudge Sundae cupcake was ridiculously good! They block off a good section of parking lot for this event, so there is plenty of space to bring folding chairs and a small table (recommend this actually). At the very least, bring some sports chairs with cup holders. The lines can get pretty hefty on some of the days, so try to arrive early and hop in line at your faves to ensure you get what you are looking for to eat. We like to divide and concur. He'll go to one truck and I'll wait at another, and we'll regroup at a chosen place. This works well on busy days. Overall: A A fun event, family / pet friendly, and plenty o' food to nom on!

Tried this food truck last night on the lawn at Orlando Fringe!…read more I absolutely love popcorn, it's my favorite snack, but I'm usually hesitant about prepackaged popcorn. I got a small movie theatre flavor popcorn and it was incredible generous for the price! They also had cold bottled water which was very much needed on the lawn. Popcorn was fresh and delicious, I was so pleasantly surprised! They have a wide array of flavors on display and they pop fresh at the back of the truck, which is very cool and makes everything smell amazing. I also tried a sample of a strawberry flavor that they made for ads for a fringe show, which was also delicious. So I'd recommend trying any flavor that peaks your interest! The folks running the truck we're very friendly and helpful.

They happened right at 9 pm and they were great at the beginning but super smokey towards the end. There's lots of vendors and food trucks and you can also check out the local vendors in their shops. We like to go to the bakery Colombia, & the Marketplace which is their food hall. Everything is very walkable in this area and it is quite festive. Fireworks are around the lake. People bring their chairs and their blankets.

Initially, I thought that it would be a bust due to the rain, however, the rain only lasted about 20-30 minutes and then it was back to sunshine time. Once the sun was shining again, the streets began to quickly fill up with people out to enjoy the Holiday. The various vendors were lined up along Avalon Lake Drive and Avalon Park E. Blvd. The Avalon Town Park hosted live music in the amphitheater. In Founder's Square there was a split between a DJ and live music along with the excitement of the Gyro-x-treme ride. There was a decent number of food trucks and food stands to select from. Many of the prices ranged from $3-12. Also, there were plenty of samples and flyers being handed out. I tried a pineapple-mango smoothie, beef skirt steak with seasoned fried (Lahteeno), a cheese steak empanada, kettle corn and cake (Sweeter Than The Rest). All of it was pretty good, although if I ventured out for Lahteeno again, I would try something different. About 5 minutes to 9 pm. a short show of fireworks started at Avalon Lake and then promptly at 9 pm the main fireworks show began in the field (on Avalon Park W Blvd between Tanja King Blvd and Avalon Lake Dr). The show lasted about 20 minutes and ended with a great sparkling finale. Afterwards, all who were either not ready to go home or didn't want to be involved in the out-rushing traffic jam continued on with vendors that decided not to close up at 9 pm or headed over the the Mulberry Street Bar and Grill. Overall, it was a pretty cool experience and I would attend again.

I loveeeee this place. It's a MUST every time we visit Orlando! There are over 50 food trucks to…read morechoose from, so no matter what you're craving, they probably have it. I had been craving fresas con crema for the longest, and I ended up getting them almost every night that weekend. My favorite was the Fresas con Crema Raffaello. I will say, though, it can get pricey, so don't expect to spend just a few bucks. The fresas con crema alone were over $18 lol. The service really depends on which truck you visit, but for the most part everyone has been friendly. The atmosphere is super chill, there's plenty of seating, and they have trash bins throughout the area. It's mostly clean, although there are a few spots that smell like straight-up trash. They also have free parking behind Denny's and paid parking right next to the food trucks. Save yourself the $6-$10 and park behind Denny's, you can put that money toward a drink instead! I seriously love this place and will always make room for it in my itinerary whenever I'm in Orlando. The fact that they're open until 2 a.m. is just another bonus!

I'm giving this place 4 stars overall for the vibe and for all the options however it is definitely…read morepricey for what you get. If you haven't come before, parking was $5. There's free parking across the street but it's a bit of a walk and we thought it was worth paying to save us from more walking in the heat. We do like supporting local shops/owners so for that, I think it's worth it. I also liked that it was clean, they had lots of tables with umbrellas and seating. Also there were a lot of enclosed trash cans which I appreciated so it didn't smell bad and there was always one close by to throw trash away. Drinks: 4 stars $10-15 lemonade, peach lemonade, watermelon lemonade Multiple trucks were selling lemonade which was great for how hot it was. I'm glad the cups were big because they are kind of pricey. Chicho's Fusion Cuisine: 4 stars $20, #2 Fried Egg Smash Burger My friend said it was good and he'd get it again Brazilian Grill: 4 stars $24 Picanha plate I didn't plan on getting Brazilian food when we went. But when we were walking around this guy gave samples and the steak tasted great. Even after looking at a few more aisles I couldn't stop thinking about the steak so went back and ordered it. Advice for surrounding trucks to give out samples! There were quite a few similar trucks but this was the only one of this cuisine that was busy. I think it could have used a salsa or some sort of sauce on the side and I wish the salad had tomato but aside from that it was still delicious and I'd order it again. Dubai chocolate strawberries: 5 stars $13, this was the best thing we got, worth the price and super yummy. If you don't like pistachio the chocolate and strawberries would also still be fire Brappin Crabs: 1 stars... We reallllllyyyyy wanted to like this place. We literally went looking through all the food trucks for this specific food item. First off, 2 eggrolls and fries were $30! It would be one thing if they were big but they weren't and they had no business being called chicken alfredo because it tasted NOTHING like chicken alfredo. It tasted like curry with Indian or Mediterranean seasoning on it. It wasn't bad but it wasn't what you would expect. Thinking about whether or not we want to give their boil a try or if we just need to move on.

The extra impressive action was that he wore standards PPE while handling the food due to a good allergy. That mattered soo much to me. I can't wait to order with you again Chef. Thanks for sharing your service.

The rub had helped to brown the turkey skin to a rich raw umber color as well as season the turkey. The turkey received a lot of ooh's and ah's (and yums). The collards greens were fresh and cooked to tender perfection, perfectly seasoned with smoked turkey wings. (The smoked lamb chops are being saved for another day, however, I can vouch for their excellence!) Thank you so much Chef JP. Family and friends asked how I found you (you also inquired). I was searching for smoked turkey on the internet and found I GOT ALL THE SMOKE. I looked at all the photos, read all the comments, and felt, and now know hit the jackpot. Great, great food, absolutely outstanding delivery, presentation, and loving care in building relationships with his customers. Definitely book your next catered affair (small or large) with Chef JP. He's GOT ALL THE SMOKE (and a whole lot more)!
