Buen Appetit is located in Irvine. I got to try Buen Appetit when they were at Pokemon Worlds a few months back and saw that they had dirty sodas. There aren't many dirty sodas in South FL so I knew I had to try it when I saw it at their truck while visiting. The line was pretty long since they were one of the few food trucks at a specific location for the day but I waited in line and we were helped promptly. I ordered two dirty sodas, the Waco Pepper and the Mountain Blew. It took quite a bit to get them and we even had some orders after us be called before our drinks were ready. When our drinks were finally ready, the Mountain Blew had a different color than the others ones that came out. When I asked the staff about it, they were pretty short and just kept repeating that it was the right drink and didn't address the different color of it. The dirty sodas didn't taste that great which was super disappointing, especially since a friend got a dirty soda from them earlier in the day and it tasted great. read more

My new favorite food truck! They come into Fashion Island every few weeks and I finally got to try them out. Had an awesome Braised Brisket panini sandwich with horseradish cream and a Dirty Dr. Pepper. Food was delicious, made super quick, fair prices. Highly recommended! read more

Food 0/10 Food here is Horrible. Salty af. fries salty af. pulled pork salty af. their specialty drink was so disgusting. both tasted like malibu alcohol. Service 0/10 This place is a scam. First, their pricing is inconsistent af. They charge you whatever they want and it does not match the menu. 3 items on their menu were sold out and they ran out of cheddar cheese.. wtf? everything is expensive af. $15 for a tiny salty ass pulled pork sandwich. Also they charge $8 additional to make it a combo with fries. They don't notify you of what items come with what so you end up Overpaying. I spent over $50 for a pulled pork sandwich and 3 fries. wtf? When i asked to refund one of the fries, the worker said she couldn't because her manager was not there. shady af Ambiance (0/10) Just a food truck and it did not have any other sides except ketchup packets. Horrible. read more

Had the KFC fried chicken sandwich and it was so good. Friendly and welcoming staff, fast wait times. Spicy and delicious.

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. read more

I eat at this truck whenever it comes to our work in Irvine. Today, I tried something different, the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was so delicious! It has a lot of meat on it and I shouldn't have eated it all, but I couldn't stop myself. Even the bun was yummy. The fries were good and stayed crisp on my short drive back to the office. The customer service is always just terrific. One of my team members remarked today, "that's one of the nicest and great tasting trucks I've eaten at - very friendly." Keep up the good work! read more

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. read more

This review relates to their food truck set up at Irvine Towers on Von Karman. Have the chicken sandwich. It is amazing. Cooked to order, juicy, with a marvelous chipotle aioli. Copious french fries, which are also a delight. I can only assume the quality from their food truck reflects the quality in the kitchen. Really really good lunch. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Buen Appetit - Buffalo Chicken Fries....had to take a bite before the photo! - Food Trucks Near Me

Super delicious!! The service was fantastic, honestly can't be beat. I don't like cooked onions that are still crunchy, and when I asked about the onions they offered to let me try the mushroom/onion mix they put on the burger. They didn't have to do that, and it was very nice. The mushroom onion mix was DELICIOUS and so was my burger! The fries were so hot and crispy!! read more

Fantastic Chicken Sandwich!!! Would eat again!! Thank you! Moist, slightly spicy perfectly done! Maybe the best ever!

I was at the 2022 OC Lantern Festival and decided to get some lunch between performances at one of the food trucks. Fatefully, I would pick the truck from this restaurant, which seemed to have the most Asian options of the three. Now looking at other reviews, it seems like the food they provided here was specifically for the theme of the event, which may explain the massive disappointment it was. I ordered the honey glazed chicken with garlic noodles for $12, which arrived in a small plastic container. On top of a bed of top ramen, sitting out for hours, Panda Express chow mein quality noodles were five pieces of breaded chicken nuggets that looked and tasted like they came out of the Costco frozen food section. In fact, they were very reminiscent of Costco's orange chicken packages which would provide a full platter of the food for half the price I paid. The garlic beef with veggies failed to taste of anything except disappointment. Not only did the beef taste of practically nothing, the veggies looked as if they were reject pieces that might have been trimmed away and left out to wither into the pathetic side of veggies they were supposed to be. To touch on the beef again most pieces were mainly cartilage with whatever meat free of it being powdery at its core. Did I mention this was $14? I know people that are allergic to gluten that would have ordered the rice like I did for this one instead of the noodles, but though it was not advertised as gluten free or anything of the sort they would likely have not been just simply surprised as I was to find pieces of noodles mixed in with everything. I could go on about the Thai basil chicken too, but to be brief, it was bland and an equally underwhelming meal for the price. Overall, if you're going to try to cater to another culture's food, then you should start by actually tasting it yourself. read more

Yesterday i stopped at this truck for lunch i got the fried chicken sandwich and it was BANGIN off top also they wer nice ppls i will b coming back read more

This food truck is pretty new but they are impressive. They have a great variety and big size portions. I got the barbacoa quesadilla and it was so delicious. It was packed with so much flavor in every bite. I also got the parmesan truffle fries and those were yummy as well. Really pleased with my meal here I hope they come back to my location soon. Thanks to Alex, for the extra fries! read more

One of the best (if not the best) fried chicken sandwiches that I've ever had!!! The chicken was perfectly cooked and had just the right mix of juiciness and crunchiness that you expect in a good fried chicken sandwich. Also, the sauce was amazing. It came drizzled on the sandwich and I also got some on the side so I could dip my french fries in it (such a good choice). All in all from the food to the service, my experience at this truck was great and I'll definitely be back. read more

My experience was between "A OK" (3 stars) and "Meh, I've experienced better." (2 stars) I had the beef quesadilla. A OK Service was friendly and helpful. Good portion size. Filling. Food was hot and technically well made, eg temp, doneness. MEH The food was greasy and bland. There was no less than 3 Tblsp of oil in the bottom of the dish. There was zero flavor. The barbacoa beef wasn't seasoned or spicy. It was just there. No salt. No zing. I suspect the grease over powered any seasoning. And because barbacoa is slow cooked, the addition of an acid, eg lime juice would have been welcome. Further the crema was more like mayonnaise than crema or sour cream. In short, I'm disappointed and doubt I'll be back. Update: They've responded. I'll try again. But, can y'all offer something without cilantro -- the soapy herb? read more

Lunch truck came to our office. Everything looks and smells so good! I would love if the buffalo chicken fries were a salad instead. The chicken is a tad dry. But I won't complain as I try to eat every last bite. I didn't get the barbacoa beef quesadilla but next time I will. read more

Buen Appetit - Yummy buffalo chicken fries. - Food Trucks Near Me

Alright, I've been to this food truck about five times now, trying different things each time I go. I'm pretty sure I've tried everything except for tacos so here's a review of everything else. Beef Barbacoa Quesadilla: When I first laid eyes on it, I was a bit surprised because it didn't look like a traditional quesadilla. Normally you think of quesadillas as on the smaller and flatter side but no, this bad boy was T H I C C! I was presented with slabs and slabs of shredded beef in between some kind of soft shell (similar texture to pita bread) instead of tortilla. No matter though, it was good (if you're in the mood for a whole bunch of meat)! I don't remember there being any cheese in the dish though that probably comes from the crema-like sauce that was drizzled the quesadillas. It's a little on the heavy side so be prepared to make two meals out of it. I do have a few complaints though. Another review mentioned that there was a lot of grease/oil. I do remember there being a lot of juices/liquid coming out of my quesadilla as I kept biting into it. It can get messy to eat! I also thought the meat was a bit on the salty side. I'm not normally sensitive to salt but yeah I could tell it was a salty. Not salty that its inedible but enough to be noticeable. Lastly, this is a very straightforward dish. Don't come in expecting wildly complex flavors and you'll be fine. I wouldn't call the beef unremarkable but I think there's room to improve the flavor. Would I get it again? Yes Boneless Chicken Wings: Classic (boneless) wings and fries! I think the wings are homemade? At least, that's what it feels like. I had half mango habanero and garlic parmesan (latter is an experimental flavor). It had a good texture and flavors, especially the garlic parm (my fave)! Parm truffle fries are as you expect. Nothing mind-blowing but still good. I split the meal into two and it was still good several hours later. My only complaint here is that the wings were a bit salty. I can't tell if it's the chicken itself or the coating though but I don't think it's the sauces. Would I get it again? Maybe...if it were a little less salty. Buffalo Chicken Fries: This option currently does not exist anymore (RIP) and probably for good reason. Of everything I've had, this was the most disappointing. Sure, the portions are huge and I had to split it between two meals. However, "buffalo chicken" was lacking flavor. I mentioned in my earlier review that the citrus chicken was very "inoffensive" and that's still the case here. To me, it felt like an added texture rather than a flavor. Now, if there was a pork fries option... Asian Glazed Pork Bowl: My most recent purchase (from today). Since I've tried more or less everything on the menu already (except for tacos), I decided to go back to the first thing I got here: a bowl. This time though, there's now a separate bowl for chicken and pork (each with their own toppings). I got the pork bowl and was not disappointed. I liked the pork last time I had it and it's still good! There's some subtle heat to the pork that you'll notice over time but it's not too bad. The rice pilaf is still the same and makes the dish stand out a little more vs other plain ol regular white/brown rice dishes. Something I miss from the old menu item was the extra sauce on the side! The meal wasn't as heavy this time around to need the sauce but I still think it was a nice touch. Would I get it again? Yes Customer Service: The truck owners are very cool and humble people. I've always had a very good and pleasant experience every time I've stopped by, never a bad one. My overall experience here, across the food and people, has been very positive and it's why I keep coming back! read more

My husband enjoyed his sandwich very much. Everything looked delicious. Unfortunately there were no gluten free options, but I understand that a food truck can't have a huge variety of choices. read more

So I tried Bien Appetit since they came to my work complex - always willing to try something new n support local food trucks. I got the taco plate - the barbacoa n spiced pork tacos were good(little salty for my taste) with rice pilaf n macaroni salad - good food for $9 bucks. Thanks again for free drink since I was first person there for lunch. read more

Their prices are ridiculous! They take advantage of the fact that where they park on Tuesdays in Irvine, there is really no where else too eat. I've gotten them twice. Yes their food is good, after spending $14 on a pulled pork sandwich and a little drink. I get feeling like I get ripped off. I have gone twice, and today will be the last time I will ever go again. read more

The BEST food i've ever had from a food truck! Tastes incredible! The flavors are so strong and mix together so well. I had the Buen Appetit Bowl and 10 out of 10 recommend!! Lauryn and Alex are some of the sweetest people ever and their customer service is so welcoming. The food is ready super quick and nice and hot when ready. We used them for a Kennedy High School event and they were SO easy to work with! And fair with their percentage back! I look forward to possibly using them again in the future! Thank you so much! read more
