    Southwestern wrap. All greens ,barely any protein or rice!
    Alex A.

    I ordered a Southwestern wrap and it was filled with roughly 90% greens and only had a little chicken and rice around the edges. It was $20.74!! If I wanted that much greens, I would have ordered the salad. I wish I could get a refund. I could have gotten a whole meal with a side and a drink elsewhere for that amount.

    Thai Salad - full of rice. Should be called rice bowl

    Thai Salad barely has any greens. Full of rice! I didnt order a bowl of rice come on..

    a food truck parked on the side of the road

    The food truck stopped by our workplace so I had to check them out. Great wait time and a good variety of foods. I had the pepper steak bowls that came with rice, salad, and veggies. The sauce was slightly spicy which I didn't realize. Good size and pricing.

    Crispy chicken sandwich and fries
    Mattie G.

    Best food truck in SoCal hands down! Buen Appetit was parked outside of my office today and I had to try the lunch menu to switch up my routine. Last time I tried this truck they had a dessert menu, but the lunch menu is EVEN BETTER. The crispy chicken sandwich was cooked to PERFECTION- the breading was crispy and the meat inside was juicy and delicious. Fries were well seasoned and crispy. Overall an amazing experience and I would definitely eat here again!

    Chicken sandwich
    Esmeralda R.

    All I have to say is Yum!!!! Give this truck a try, you won't regret it. The chicken sandwich I got was so deliciously flavored!!! Staff is friendly and welcoming. Visit this truck while at a cheer competition with my family and we were served quickly despite the line.

    The edible part
    Nakia L.

    I was very disappointed to say the least! I was hungry and spotted this food truck near my office as we have a different one every Friday. And this one was called BUEN Appetit. I watched them on camera so I'm pretty sure I was the second person to be served. I asked him was the chicken sandwich crispy and he stated that it was made to order. $15 and 10 minutes later I received my disappointing mail. When I got back to my desk I realized that the sound was burnt and way overcooked. Which is sad because the bun and the sauce and the fries were actually great. this is very disappointing and I am still hungry. I was a new customer and they had a chance to make a great impression. Unfortunately this should have never been served. I feel like they gave it to me because I was black, I don't see any other persons of color who are approaching their truck.

    Thai salad is the best I've had ever !! It was completely delicious and savory. I got the chicken

    Half spicy pork half shrimp
    Cam C.

    I'm not exactly sure what cuisine this is classified as but it had Korean spicy pork, Peruvian pickled onions, Cajun grilled shrimp, or at least that's what I thought my mouth was tasting. Doesn't matter because it was just goodness in my mouth. I got the half and half for lunch and it's a generous enough portion where I had enough for a second meal. Can't wait to try other items

    Birria Fries

    Honestly, chefs kiss!!!! The food was divine! I ordered the Birria Fries and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The birria taste, texture and smell were right on point! It's been the closest I've ever tasted to homemade birria, the meat is tender and full of flavor, fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The prices was very good as well and portions are great. Staff is incredibly nice and accommodating to customers requests offering add on to my order. I would definitely recommend giving this truck a try because you will be coming back for more. The truck came to my job for service and the staff is super organized and kept those order coming out without delay.

    Buffalo Chicken Fries....had to take a bite before the photo!
    Derek W.

    I ordered the buffalo chicken fries and not only was I immediately impressed with the size but the way the flavors blended together was just how I like it. My buddy had the barbacoa quesadilla and was equally impressed. Definitely give them another try next time I see them. Update: My friend and I tried the same thing again and they were just as awesome again! Great food quality and great service. You guys have delicious food and I wish you continued success!

    Minh the owner is amazing. From the burnt truck, to burnzilla, to burnt crumbs this guy puts his…read moreheart and soul into it. He delivers every time. I can't want to see his new vision.

    Our daughter recently turned one and for her 1st birthday party we wanted an easy catering option…read morethat would provide finger-friendly food for both adults and kids. We have had The Burnt Truck's food before and really enjoyed everything we ate so I was excited to see that they had a catering option. I reached out to The Burnt Truck a couple months before our daughter's party to get more information on how their catering would work for a private event. Minh immediately got back to me with menu options and pricing. We reserved the date, made our deposit, and they took care of the rest! We had around 60-70 guests and each person got to choose from four sandwich options (cheeseburger slider, friend chicken slider, mozzarella slider, or PB&J slider) as well as their choice of fries or tots. The standard time slot for private events is 2 hours of food service, but since our party was longer than that, we opted to pay for an extra 2 hours of time. In the end it worked out perfectly because our party was on the smaller side and our guests were able to get food at the start of the party, then go back and order seconds later on before the party was over. Thank you to Minh and team, the food was excellent and our guests were 100% satisfied! I would definitely recommend The Burnt Truck for easy, stress-free catering!
