a waffle topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce
Libby A.

They came to my apartment complex and I got the breakfast waffle from them. It was good. Prior to that I got the we scream for ice cream waffle and it was excellent! I'd recommend checking them out.

These are the five waffles I got and all were Delicious.

The Belgium Waffles food truck comes to our apartments about once a month. Thank god it's only once a month or I'd weigh four hundred pounds. The waffles are so good and the owners are so nice. First time here, I got almost one of everything so I'd know what to get next time. The only problem was everything was awesome. You really can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. This last time I got it down to four items. Chicken and Waffles, Oreo Cookies And Waffles, We Scream for Ice Cream and the delicious Speculoos Sensation on Liege Waffle. The owner gave me a Dulce de Leche as a bonus. Now I have to rethink my four core pick because the Dulce was excellent too.

Steak sausage and beef pie
Seetha G.

Update 7/28/16: I tried the Belgian meat pies today. They were delicious... A nice big meat pie topped with a perfectly buttery flakey pie crust. I chose the steak, sausage and cheese pie filling and it was simply delicious. Though it was well seasoned, I must confess I had to amp up the spice level to truly enjoy it. Two thumbs up for introducing more savory options to the truck! However this brings on another dilemma- whether to buy something sweet or savory since both are a meal on its own. I do wish they offer the option of choosing a half sized portion of the signature waffles so customers can enjoy a savory dish and then indulge in a little dessert! ________________________________________ Excellent waffles!!! The consistency is amazingly crunchy on the outside and just the right amount of chewiness on inside. I've tried the Fantastic Fruit waffles twice so far- the first time I tried it with ice cream instead of whipped cream based off of Yelp reviews ( at no extra charge) and was completely blown away by how amazing it was! A great waffle topped with a generous portion of fresh strawberries and big firm blueberries. Earlier today I tried it yet again but with whipped cream and I must confess to be slightly disappointed. The waffles though hot and fresh were not as crunchy as the first time. And the whipped cream is definitely something I will substitute with ice cream in the future. I must say I am tempted to try the savory waffles each time I go to this truck but my sweet tooth wins each time!

We Scream for Ice Cream waffle
Jessica S.

I found this truck by random one Friday morning. I had just picked my cousin up from the airport, and we were headed to my home before embarking on our weekend of gluttony when we passed the truck parked on the street in front of a parking lot. A quick conversation ensued, in which we decided to modify our morning plans a bit, to include a stop at the Marcel Belgian waffle truck. We eagerly backtracked from my home to the truck, where we stood in front of the menu board, quietly discussing the various options. As we stood there, an older gentleman (who we took to be the owner) approached us to ask if we had any questions. He then took a few minutes to run us through the different options, and ended with a couple recommendations, before backing off to give us a chance to decide. We wanted to share something, so we went with the "We Scream for Ice Cream", which was basically dessert at 8:30 am. One Belgian waffle, topped with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzled in chocolate and caramel sauces, and finished with a large dollop of whipped cream. All that for $8! Weeelll...it was $8 on the menu. I paid the man with a $10 bill, and he came to the window to ask, "Do you live in the area?" Taken off guard, I paused a second before answering to the affirmative, and he went on to tell me to come back tomorrow for my extra dollar, as he didn't have enough change to give me $2 back. What, now? This is a truck that's been in existence for a while. How do they come down to San Diego (for the first time ever, if the guy can be believed) without enough change to do business for a morning? At any rate, I told him to keep it, and that was that, but still...seemed odd to us. The waffle came out quickly, and it was light and flaky and delicious...and super sweet. I'm glad we decided to share one order of something, as we had a long day of food consumption ahead of us. I think the waffle we ordered would be too much for me on a regular day, but it was the perfect start to our morning. One final note. As we were perched on benches, happily consuming our waffle creation, one of the guys from the truck came running up to ask how it was. We gave him an enthusiastic thumb's up, and he departed...only to come back about a minute later to ask if we'd mind if he took a picture to "post on his site." We looked at each other, and decided, "why not?", and posed for a quick pic. He gave us veto power, thanked us profusely, then ran back to the truck. To date (almost two months later), the picture has not surfaced anywhere...

Food truck at work today... Serving it up even on a rainy day
Jessica S.

This food truck rolled into my work today... It's been on the schedule and I was pretty excited for some waffle delight the morning of. It appears this is family owned and is run by a husband and wife who are actually from the country of Belgium. The graphics on their truck also indicate that they are approved by some prestigious minister of waffle affairs. Whether this is legitimate or not, their waffles are easily delicious. I ordered the Fantastic Fruit which included blueberries, strawberries, whip cream, and a chocolate drizzle. The waffles were very fluffy and sweet with a little bit of crunch. The fruit and chocolate also added to the sweetness factor. Too bad it was rainy and cold outside because the waffles were a tad cold by the time I was able to bite into them. For $9, I'd say I was mildly satisfied as I was barely full but the waffles themselves were still very astounding. My other gripe would be the lack of variety in the menu. Most of their options are on the sweeter side and while I enjoy this at times, I was really hoping for something more savory. Also, I'm not sure how waffles are traditionally served in Belgium, but these waffles tasted more like a dessert than a breakfast item (no syrup here!). Their waffle dishes do seem to lean more to the dessert side since they also offer a 'We Scream for Ice cream Waffle'. Marcel's definitely has some authentic Belgian waffles, but expect to pay a lot to receive a little and beware if you aren't into sweeter dishes.

Waffles are my absolute favorite!!! My personal favorite is located inside the Liberty Public Market. Everyone should definitely check that out- it'll change your lives :) With that said, I was stoked when I heard about Marcel Waffles! This place is subpar at best. We ordered a savory and a sweet waffle to get a taste of both worlds. As my best friend put it, the way they cooked their eggs was lazy. For a gourmet type of food truck, I would have appreciated more effort. The bacon was overcooked. As a whole, the waffle itself was too sweet to complement the savory contents on top. The plain waffles, with powdered sugar was okay. Nothing worth getting excited over. For your waffle fix, go to Liberty Station - they're open 7 days a week, and you don't have to hunt down a food truck for mediocre waffles.

Strawberry Love
Nicole C.

Amazing waffles - perfect balance of flavor and sweetness! Not too sweet and served fresh and warm and very fast. Service was amazing and they're always up for a chat and helping you decide what to get. Definitely enjoyed this and I'm so grateful they came to our apartment building for a yummy treat! Looking forward to trying more of their menu - I'll do the churro waffle next!

Andrea W.

I'm so happy they came to my work! I ordered the special. Delicious scrambled eggs, bacon and crispy waffles. The eggs were super flavorful. Pure happiness! Super filling! My co worker got the strawberry love. Awesome food. :)

Lili L.

Food was fast to come out. But then again, they weren't busy. The man was kind enough to explain between two different types of waffles they had. They were delicious, but definitely over priced. I walked away feeling like I paid more for overhead than the wages themselves. Two original waffles, one with powdered sugar for $12.

Banana dulce de leche waffle
Michelle V.

This food truck is at UCSD medical center about twice a month, and today I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed with my order and the service. The couple at the truck were so sweet and attentive, very helpful when I asked for recommendations. I decided to try one of the specials of the day, banana nut dulce de leche waffle, but I ordered with no nuts. Presentation was beautiful and the taste was phenomenal. Would definitely order again!

Kristie B.

Had a Strawberry Love waffle at the Chula Vista Harbor Festival today. It was SO good! the waffle was perfectly cooked! Strawberries were fresh and the little scoops of ice cream and whipped cream really topped it off nicely! Best part about it was that it wasn't heavy. So, move over funnel cake... Marcel Waffles is where it's at!

Ham and cheese savory. Free coffee with like and checkin.
Michelle L.

Marcel Waffles 1 of 2 food trucks that gathered after our UYE at iFLY San Diego. If you like his Facebook page and check in, you get a free coffee! I ended up getting a savory waffle (1 for $5, or 2 for $9), you choose bacon & cheese or ham & cheese to be baked inside the waffle. Ham and cheese was yummy. Too bad I already had a cupcake from Lil' Miss Short Cakes in hand, otherwise I would have also tried one of his sweet waffles (Speculoos! Bananas! Ice cream! Strawberries! Chocolate! Caramel!). I should have allowed myself to have more than one waffle. They are authentic Belgian waffles, and were a nice late morning breakfast after a run and skydiving session. There's also a Marcel Waffles in Orange County/LA!

Ordering was quick, but an overly dusted churro waffle was not worth the ONE HOUR wait to receive it. Way too much cinnamon sugar.

08.08.26 In town for a work conference next week, and…read morestaying at a nearby hotel. Arrived early from Sac so after checking in, I needed breakfast. Hotel receptionist recommended Swami's, saying "they've got everything". So, after confirming rating, menu, and seating via Yelp, I decided to give it a whirl. Only a couple blocks walk, easy-peasy. Located near light rail, it was a cute, unassuming spot with a few patio tables for al fresco dining. I walked in and read the sign that for dining in to grab a menu and a seat and order will be taken at the table. Great! Knew they had a specialty menu and a regular menu, I grabbed both and found a nice 4-seater by the window. I love a nice view with my meal, especially when solo. Almost immediately I was tended to by my server, asking if I've been in before. Told her "no" and she proceeded to let me know there was a self-serve coffee bar in the corner by the fountain drinks and if I wanted a 'specialty' type drink they would prepare it. Then offered to start me with water. Right off the bat, I appreciated the efficient way of greeting a patron. Looking over the menu more closely, it was hard to decide. Do I go with one of their many amazing benedict options--my typical go-to for an enjoyable breakfast? Or my good ol' standby and basic breakfast of eggs, bacon, hashed browns & toast? The benes I was eyeballing were their specialties avocado Florentine and the Swami's Waffle bene--a twist I've not seen before. With it having their namesake, it'd have to be good, right? My server came back with my water saw I needed a few more minutes. I was also wondering how much adding bacon to a dish would be since it wasn't listed anywhere on the menus, and I was considering that for the Florentine. But then there also was another breakfast favorite of mine, Chilaquiles. Too many great choices! My server came back for my order and I had to ask about the most popular dishes. She started rambling off omelets, but I'm not a big omelet girl. She then suggested the Chilaquiles, said she really like the El Paso bene (another I eyeballed), then I told her that I'm just in the mood for my basic breakfast and didn't see anything that quite fit the bill. She pointed out the Swami's Combo, but choice of side would've only been either hashed or bacon and I'd have to add the other BUT it came with coffee included (normally $4). I wanted to try the coffee, as the selection variety was intriguing. She then brought up an 'off-the-menu' item, the Big Breakfast. It basically had everything I wanted but coffee would be extra. I asked how it compared to the Swami's Combo and added stuff I wanted price-wise, and she said it's pretty much equal. So, I just went with the Big Breakfast cuz, gotta love those off-the-menu orders, right? She said it came with bacon and ham but I could get all bacon if I wanted at an extra $1 charge. Not a ham fan, I went with it. Ordered eggs runny yolk and cooked white--whatever they think that is LOL and chose english muffin option. Asked for my bacon & hash browns extra crispy. While I waited for my order, a hostesses ask me if I was eating alone and politely asked if I would move to another table to accommodate a party that arrived. I explained that I really wanted a window seat and with that, she said "No worries at all". I heard her explain to the party that it would be a little wait. THAT was quite amazing and I honestly appreciated her acceptance of my decline. I then took time to check out the restaurant. Noticed the kitchen was busy but running like a well-oiled machine. Patrons were a plenty, a constant busy, with several waiting for seating by the time I left around 10:30a on a Saturday. There were a few TVs with the vibe feeling very, diner-ish. I also noticed that it was a bit, stuffy inside, and was thankful I had my portable fan to keep me cool at my table the entire time. Surprisingly, the food came out quick and it looked fantastic! Runner asked if I needed anything else, and after a quick glance at the table condiments, I said with a smile it's already covered. I asked him later for a few extra napkins and he was appy to bring some. I tell you, the service here is super friendly and great! It matched with the meal, food was sooo good! Perfectly cooked, bacon was thick, PERFECT! Oh!! It also came with salsa that tasted homemade--and confirmed is made in-house! I could tell and would have NO issue eating with chips. Guys, if you're in the area and looking for great, friendly service with amazing food, give Swami's a shot. I would no doubt return!!

Swami's was just up the street from the hotel, so we decided to give it a try. This is a small, very unassuming restaurant that appears to have a good thing going as people were coming and going the entire time we were there. Service was very good and our server was very attentive even though the restaurant was quite busy. We ordered an Ahi Tuna salad and the Swami's Pitaya Smoothie Bowl. Unfortunately, the Ahi Tuna Salad came to the table as the Ahi Tuna Wrap. To make up for the mistake, a side salad with all the fixins in the ahi tuna salad was provided. Both these items were enjoyed. The Swami's Pitaya Smoothie Bowl looked amazing and tasted much the same. Based on our experience, and the quality of food, we will be back.

It is filled with several different types of Italian Meats, including salami, sopressata, mortadella, some cheese and arugula and onions, and a sauce they use.
