I've driven by when they were closed, but recently noticed they were open as I was getting an afternoon coffee in New Britain. They mostly had sandwiches, but had some other offerings as well. I posted a pic of what they have. I ordered a tripleta, a sandwich on pressed Cuban style bread with pernil, ham and steak, and also topped with American Cheese, lettuce, tomato and Mayo Ketchup. It was a pretty good sandwich. Better than the sum of its parts. The meats didn't really pop for me flavor, seasoning or texture-wise, but they were decent. The bread was fresh and good. They probably needed a bit more fat when they were pressing the bread. It was a touch darker than ideal. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. It's convenient since I often get coffee at Alvarium. 3.5 Stars

Absolutely Fabulous! I just had the pleasure of hosting my wife's 50th birthday party and used The…read moreFamily Pizza truck for catering. As a Yelper I find it challenging to want to hire a business that I can't find reviews of online but that was the case with this company. I'm so glad I "took a chance" on them because they were the hit of the party. Angela and Kevin arrived with the brick oven already pumping out a woody smoky essence. Within an hour to 45 minutes the pizzas started flying out of the oven onto a huge table provided by the truck! It comes with salad as well. We were able to specifically pick out 5 pizzas from their list and they created several others on the fly that they knew would be big hits with the crowd. In addition to those that we picked and those made on the fly they also had the standard cheese and pepperoni slices for the "kids." One of the favorites of the crowd was definitely the loaded potato pizza (that was my favorite for sure). This was a seriously smart and budget friendly way to cater a party for about 50 people. In the week leading up to the party my wife and squabbled over what other food we should buy and provide for the party. I kept saying "less is more" and "that's why we hired the food truck". We did end up putting out a fruit plate, veggie tray and some dips but I've got to say, we had leftovers. We also had at least 8 full pizzas left over (very nice). I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. It was worth it. Oh and to give you a sense of the cost it was about $950 for 3 hours delicious pizza (no fork or knife needed!) for 50 folks.

These guys are truly awesome. From the first phone contact with Angela to happily secure the date…read moreof the party to the arrival of their amazing pizza truck and trailer rig everything went smoothly. Kevin was a brilliant truck and trailer driver who backed his rig in alongside our high top tent behind the carriage barn. Then he and his associate began producing their delicious pizzas within the first hour. Our guests were all delighted and the trailer also helped block the cool winds that followed the all day rain! The only hiccup was that a late arriving guest had blocked the driveway exit when the truck went to leave, but the hard working folks took it all in stride until we let them get away after one of the best and most epic barn birthday bashes ever. Everyone commented on how delicious the pizzas were and how fast the chefs were at getting them to Angela's serving tables much to their delight. Paired with local brews from John Auclair's nearby Norbrook Farm Brewery, the evening was a culinary delight for all. Bravo Kevin and Angela of The Family Pizza Truck!

Steve was friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. I ordered the chicken tacos, but I didn't realize they were made tinga style. If I had known, I definitely would have gone with the birria tacos instead...I still regret not ordering those! The restaurant was smaller than I expected, and it was a little too warm inside for my liking, so we ended up taking our food to the car to eat instead. the tamarindo drink was crisp and refreshing. For dessert, I tried the flan. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, as it had more of a gelatin like texture. I personally prefer a creamier, custard style flan, and this one reminded me more of a boxed mix. The fresh flavors, generous portions, and Steve's excellent customer service made it a place I'd be happy to return to...next time, I'm definitely trying the birria tacos.

I'm in everytime I take a bite. Treva has it as an appetizer in West Hartford. I think the $12 price point for these was a bit much. With that being said, the Buffalo Chicken Dip was $12 and you got WAY more bang for your buck so I'd suggest that if you're hungry. It's not winning any awards out here but it'll get the job done Truffle Mac & Cheese bites were pretty affordable. Not my favorite , but good news you can taste the truffle which isn't always the case. I give 5 stars because for a food truck they do a pretty good job - the menu has a lot of great options and I'd be down to try their other offerings next time I see them around.

As I approached the food truck, I was immediately greeted by the staff. I ordered Birria Tacos and one of the staff members asked me if I wanted anything to drink and he asked me did I want to try a juice they made. The juice was called Passion Fruit Juice and as I sampled the juice, it was so refreshing so I ordered a cup. The Birria Tacos were delicious, flavorful, crispy, and the cheese melt was just the right amount of cheese. A lot of places cannot make Birria Tacos but these Birria Tacos were right on the money. One thing I love about them is their presentation. The Passion Fruit Juice came with a strawberry that looked like a rose. When I'm in the area I will definitely be back again to visit there food truck

Rescue Dogs Food Truck donates a portion of its sales to animal rescues and shelters. Great cause…read moreobviously. Their menu when I visited them at Coles Road Brewing in Berlin consisted of specialty hot dogs, build your own hot dogs, seasoned and topped tots, quesadillas and wraps. I ordered a hot dog with house kraut and spicy brown mustard and Ranch seasoned tots. Service was friendly and efficient. The tots were very good and they had a good crispy outer texture. The seasoning was flavorful. I was told that Rescue Dogs uses Sabrett dogs, which was not a name I knew. Sabrett makes at least a skinless beef Frank and a natural casing dog. I think this was the natural casing dog because I can see a skin in my pic. Sabrett is associated with New York hot dog styles and I saw that it has performed very well in taste tests against other national brands. I thought the dog had good flavor, but it wasn't as snappy as I like at least as cooked on this night. The kraut and mustard were both fairly good, but didn't stand out relative to my favorite area spot. I understand that Rescue Dogs is based in Wolcott and I've seen them on the Coles Road schedule a few times. Rescue Dogs is worth checking out, especially in light of the causes they support. 3.75 Stars

But my first experience of chili cheese fries made me go back for a second experience of a big boy with fried plantains and a strawberry milkshake. Service was very pleasant regardless of who served me. I am trying to see how I will get to experience them again very soon. If you never had vegan food before, this should definitely be your first stop.

I ended up coming here on a Thursday night with a friend who eats here pretty often and I was stoked to check it out. The menu is full of burgers, hot dogs, sides, and shakes and after some consideration I decided to order some french fries as well as a meatball sub......but I was told the meatball sub was discontinued so I settled on ordering some chicken strips with the french fries and also a milkshake to wash it all down. The chicken strips were pretty dang good and I was a big fan of them. They were super crispy, the "chick'n" tasted great and the french fries on the side were top notch as well. Now, I'm pretty sure the milkshake I had was snickerdoodle or something like that, but it's not on the online menu so I could be wrong, but either way, the milkshake was freaking delicious and absolutely something I would continue to order on future visits. Overall, Soulfully Vegan is a wonderful vegan spot and definitely something needed in Central Connecticut. Vegan fast food is fun and I can definitely see myself returning on future trips to the nutmeg.
