I was able to try a new truck today that I hadn't made it to yet... Street Eats DSM…read more Klickle showed them right off of 47th and Westown and I remembered it was food truck Wednesday over at the Regency buildings (4700 Westown Pkwy in West Des Moines). They normally park on the South side of the buildings... Last year there was usually three or four trucks out there every Wednesday...this year only two most of the time. I've had my eye on Street Eats DSM and as luck would have it they were parked alongside one of my other favorite trucks today...Jack & Vinnie's (owned and operated by Club 2000). But I came for Street Eats DSM...got to stick to the plan. I'd already scoped out the Rocky Balboa online. Philly style beef, natural cut fries, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and American cheese on a large hoagie roll... The other menu items sure looked really good too. Ordering and paying was a snap and I was surprised when they handed me a buzzer to signal me when my order was ready for pickup. What is this madness? Is this witchcraft? A truck using a buzzer call system... Have pigs flown and hell froze over? I have no idea what this costs to maintain, but I hope other trucks start using this... My buzzer went off after a short wait and I grabbed my sandwich and headed to the car for the short drive back to my office. The sandwich was $9 and a can of Coke was $1. So a total of $10 before tip... My biggest issue with some food trucks is that I don't feel like I get the amount of food I would at a restaurant. Probably why I like Jack & Vinnie's...this is never an issue with them. It's not an issue with Street Eats DSM either... I am pleasantly full, not stuffed, but I feel like it was money well spent. I'm not usually a big fan of potatoes on my sandwiches, but the fries were crispy and added a nice crunch along with being very filling. The sandwich was cooked well...all components...and the staff provided really good service. You can't expect much more than that off a truck. A big thumbs up. Glad I finally caught up with these guys. 2nd visit. Stopped over at Regency West for Food Truck Wednesday again. Street Eats DSM and 515 Pi were there. Top Bun and Roadside Tacos were no shows. So... Street Eats DSM again it is... As I said previously they had other menu items I wanted to try anyway. :) I decided to try the Cajun tacos today and I made sure to say hello to Aaron. He's a nice guy and the man can cook... I ordered the Cajun tacos...one shrimp and one catfish. 2/$7. The shrimp and fish were cooked perfectly. The other ingredients were fresh, and the remoulade has a great flavor to it. Like Jack & Vinnie's this is a truck I don't walk away from hungry or unhappy. Great service. The menu items are a good bang for your buck as far as size/quantity and quality. I know fish and chips and shrimp and fish tacos has been a hot item lately... I'd suggest putting this truck on your to-try list for both. The buzzer call system they use is genius. It would probably have been more efficient today if I hadn't been standing in front of the pick up window talking. (Dates of service: 07/11/2018 and 07/18/2018)

I am fairly new to the food truck world. This was a pleasure to get to try…read more Within walking distance of my job on a beautiful day. The truck was set up in the parking lot and the line was just forming. The menu was written on a chalkboard. The details of each item were very thorough. I was very interested in the chicken bruschetta. We ordered and it took about 3-5 min for the fresh food to come to the window. Oh my it was huge! Starting from the bottom was a big ol bun. Then was the hot fresh French fries..Oh and then the shredded chicken, bruschetta, and pesto mayo and cheeses. I thought the flavor was fantastic and wished I didn't have so far to walk back to my company so I could eat it right down. The amount of food was too much for my little mouth so I had to get it back to where I could cut it down again. Next time I am skipping the bun and having it all on fries!!

Caught Hotsy Totsy at Campbell Park for Food Truck Friday. The menu looked incredibly tasty, but I…read moreultimately decided to try the Brisket Totchos. This was a brilliant concoction of taco meat, briskett,brisket, red onions, and sour cream. And if you like a bit of heat, it also comes with jalepenos. All of it is a riff on loaded fries except tator tots are used instead. The portion size was quite nice, the workers were very friendly, and the dish arrived quickly despite the steady line of people placing orders. Looking forward to visiting the truck again and enjoying other variations on their menu.

Food is amazing. Got to try it at the Fall Food Truck Showdown and ordered the Kalbi Steak tacos…read more The steak was chopped up into smaller pieces (making it easy to eat) and was juicy and spicy! It was topped with cabbage and type of green vegetable which gave it a nice fresh taste. The chipotle mayo added to the kick!

Pho in a burrito - so crazy that it works…read more Would love more veggies in the other dishes, as they can get a little one-note. Meat has always been great though - never dry, which is where a lot of food trucks go wrong. Flavorful overall and not your typical Iowa food truck, so bonus points for bringing something different!

Hate to leave a bad review, because the people are nice, but the food is mediocre at best. Mine was…read morecold when I got it. The taco meat had odd spices and didn't taste like other taco seasoning. Pretty good portion size, but also pricey. These food trucks need to find a way to lower their windows and divert the exhaust from the vehicle.

A camper looking food truck was this stop…read more The look of this food truck from the outside is a little off-putting. It's bright yellow with food items painted on the out side. You can see the grill and The menu is posted outside the window. Very basic taco, nacho and rice items. I decided on the walking taco. You get meat (slightly greasy and chips and then let them know what toppings you want from the posted menu. The pricing is normal for this type of food but unfortunately nothing that amazed me or got me super excited.

She recommended the wedges and I think it was a good choice. I ordered the grateful veg. The veg bowl seems to take a little longer to cook than other orders coming out just a heads up! It did taste pretty good thr veggies were well cooked and there was some flavorful balsamic over it. I wish there had been a little more though they felt like they were lacking something.

The pineapple was sweet and tender, and mixed with the red peppers and savory beef was juicy and spiced to perfection. The other burger is the original top bun which was cooked well and had a nice char. The buns is what Top Bun should be proud of and loves to their name! With the juicy tender burgers the buns did not fail and held together perfectly without getting soggy. Now the truffle fries, were cooked well. Crispy outside but sender soft inside fries. Served with a spicy aoli that paired well with the fragrance and taste of the truffle oil. All in all will definitely recommend and go there again!
