Quite possibly the most exquisite burrito bowl on earth. I chose chicken, despite my knowledge of…read morebeef and all the glorious ruminant ramifications (cows are the best). The lemon zest flavour leapt off my silver fork into my mouth on the first bite, combining with the sultry avocado and sliver of chicken which had some other-worldly seasoning that words cannot describe. Herbs, I suppose. Phase two began after I had depleted the bowl of avocado. Arrogantly I assumed that there were deeper layers of flavour to be found. Luckily I was right, lurking below the avocado lemon and chicken infantry was the commander of the dish - gloriously flavoured rice and some sort of leafy green, perhaps lettuce but my vision was beginning to cloud with ecstasy, and the summer light was failing. As I frantically shovelled the fork into my mouth, mechanically driving my arm up and down from bowl to face in a rapid manner, a single bead of sweat formed on the tip of my usually pristine nose. I ignored it. Phase three underway, I had began to sweat profusely, as an alternative reality of exotic dimensions enveloped me. Hours later I awoke as if from a coma, and realised that I had been scraping, to an extreme degree, at whatever molecules of food remained in my bowl. I had finished the meal almost instantly but in my satiated trance I had feverishly forked through the bowl, table, and begun to dig through the cement underneath my feet. Sheepishly I dusted the cement particles off my cheap mondays and glanced furtively around. Only the miniature ghost of Al Albero's Phoenix (see earlier review) was present - it perched on my shoulder and whispered "love is the answer", and then glided off above the food trucks into the night. So yeah, pretty good burrito bowl.

Well, fortunately, my friends thought that it would be a great idea to have a meal here, and that was certainly one awesome idea.

This bagel burger truck needs to hit Melbourne inner suburbs pronto!…read more Ive only heard of them when I saw (sniffed) the truck at the cheese and cider festival. Here's the lowdown Menu The truck listed saganaki, smoked salmon, porketta and beef on the day. All $12 a pop and the burgers were filled with salad, sauce, and yummy extra (like sweet potatoes in the saganaki ) Service You can smell the truck from miles away, grilling and saucing, and calling your name. Once paid, you are given a card ( like from a deck of playing card ) and this is your name/number/code. Service is quick, cute, and friendly. Feedbacks were requested and we only have great ones. Overall, great value for the price, the bagels were perfect, and tasted amazing. It was a unanimous decision in our group that this is the best bagel burger truck around.... Ok, best burger truck? Best bagel burger? Whatever, its just best! and it needs to come closer to us!

Very tasty little treats, a little exy for what you get, but I think novelty is part of the experience here. Freshly cooked, which is great, so it takes a wee while for dishes to come out.

Being a Brooklyn transplant, I was soo excited when I heard about a taco truck in Melbourne. The…read moretaco soccer fields back in Red Hook used to be my playground in those New York City summers. I would sample the cuisine of south America by hitting a different truck every weekend. That was the life. Imagine my surprise this Sunday morning when I read that the Melbourne Taco Truck was across the park from my house in Coburg. I had to go. With a fistful of coins and a mug of warm coffee, I walked across Harmony Park to the truck. There was a decent line, but eventually I ordered one fish taco. I was surprised at the price, but I suppose it's only because I'm American. I suppose $6 a taco is on par for Aussie food prices. The 2 tacos with chips platter seems like an okay deal at $12, but I wasn't that hungry. And then I waited. And I waited. Now, I'm a forgiving person. I admit there was a line of people. The girls cooking had a queue of tickets to deal with. But more time passes, and I'm not the only one waiting. But I'm a patient person, maybe they're new and training. But seriously, if a person like me notices that they are waiting a long time for their food, then it's a bloody long time... outside... in the cold Australian autumn... Ok now I'm just being dramatic. Finally, my name is called and I am handed one beautiful fish taco. When it comes to tacos I know my stuff. I appreciate authenticity as much as the next food snob, but I also am the type that if authenticity is what I craved, then I would pay the $150 for a flight to cancun from JFK, thumb down a colectivo to Tulum and order real fish tacos from prime riviera maya for mere pesos. But most of the time I am just looking for anything delicious wrapped in a corn tortilla. And there it was. The most perfect looking piece of fish, dressed up in the most perfect tasting batter, resting on a bed of pickled cabbage beneath a warm blanket of poppyseed mayo. Apply yucoteco brand verde sauce and enjoy. Verdict: food - incredible Price - negligible Service - lacking but worth another try should they return to coburg.

Fun fact - they put chips in the souva. I know this isn't groundbreaking, but not many places do it now and it's still fun!

When I went on a Monday evening at about 7pm there was no one at all lining up for the food (every other night seemed to be super busy). I ordered the chicken taco and also the vegetarian (black bean) taco. They were $6 each and came in their own little package. I did seem to wait for a good while for them, maybe cause I was the first customer that evening. They were both tasty but I would def recommend the chicken taco if you are going to go one over the other.

I have ordered them on 2 separate occasions now and found them to be delicious, cheap and generous in portion. I'm local to the area of High Street, Northcote, which attracts a number of the fashionable mobile vendors. I think that as the "scene" becomes more competitive, we may start to see some vendors rise and some fall. Dos Diablos seems to be fairly new on the scene (and possibly encroaching on territory previously staked-out by other vans'). I'm hoping they stick around and will certainly do my best to make it so - 2 vegan tacos at a time!

In a way it seems to be one of those places that indicates that Reservoir is slowly but surely being bitten by the hipster bug.

Anyway, seeing it, and doubting that I would be down here again any time soo, I decided to pop in for a coffee. Well, coffee was pretty cool, but I also have to mention that Darth Vader was also standing in the middle of the room. I'm not sure what he was waiting for because he was there when I arrived, and I got my coffee before he got anything, so I'm still a little baffled. However, as a coffee spot it wasn't bad.
