I love Taco Time, and living so far from the nearest one is hard. (Apparently, my closest options…read moreare Timmins, Thunder Bay, or Chicago.) So, when I get a chance to visit someplace that has a Taco Time, you can safely assume that I'm going to go and get my fix. In fact, over the course of a weekend, we went twice, because my sweetie knows my quirks, and is very tolerant. (Or maybe she was just afraid that if she didn't let me go to Taco Time, that I'd try the sushi place next door.) This location didn't disappoint me at all. The staff are friendly and helpful, and even made me something that's no longer on the menu, because they knew how to make it and had the ingredients anyway. And the food was the way I like it: lots of fresh ingredients, no skimping on the lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese the way a certain other taco chain does, and my choice of how hot I want my hot sauce to be. (Yes, I dip my Mexi-fries into the little cups of hot sauce -- my burritos, too.) Now if I could only figure out a way to fit the whole franchise onto a trailer and haul it back to Ontario...

I was just traveling through from Sointula back to Oregon via WA (going to see the amazing Byron Katie!) and since I was staying over night I needed to eeeeeat. I only had water, but it was very good water (don't snicker, some water tastes like sadness in a glass.) The wait staff was classy, attentive, friendly but not in your face familiar (which always makes me want to look for exit signs before I can relax enough to eat.) The atmosphere is better than average for a pub. Really enjoyed it. If you're wondering if you should bother to stop, the answer is yes. By the way, I didn't partake, but the patron next to me was eating wings (49 cent special) and some really amazing looking dark beer (I'm GF ). Wish this place were closer to where I live...

This is the second time we've been here after first finding it about 6 years ago and it's just as…read moregood as we remember, maybe better. This is no ordinary food truck, it's a gourmet meal in a take out box. Better than what you'd find in quite a lot of restaurants, so you are absolutely paying for quality here but it's sooooo worth it! First tip, it does take time to make the meals, 20-45 mins depending on when you order and how many are ahead. So either prepare to go for a walk or call in your order ahead. Now the food, I think they're famous for their ribs which we've had both times. A sticky, crispy, gooey mess of deliciousness that will have you scraping down the box for every last drop. It's a honey, soy, garlic type mix and came with 5 pieces. We went with a herbed chicken and Brie burger combo with polenta fries. The Burger was certainly tasty, with a special sauce and topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles etc. No ketchup and mayo here. But I have to say I got slight food envy at the sight of the crispy Korean fried chicken burger. That looked crisped to perfection and I was told not too spicy so I'll be trying that next time. And polenta fries, crispy delicious polenta in equally shaped large fries with a sweet mayo type dipping sauce. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Not something you'll find elsewhere anytime soon. Delicious. And I haven't even touched on the albacore seared tuna salad! Upon opening the box you'll be taken by the presentation, it looks just as good as it tastes. A generous portion of large tuna slices on a mix of well dressed rice, salad leaves and mixed diced salad veg. I liked the crunch of the bean sprouts along side everything else. Order a few things and share it family style for the best sampling. It is a food truck in an industrial type car park with one table, but I'd suggest finding a place you intend to eat like a nearby park bench or picnic table and grab it to go. Hands down one of the best food trucks I've ever been to. Indeed one of the best, most memorable meals I've had in a while. If you're in the area, absolutely come here, you will be happy you did!
