Jerry's food trucks are popular, but don't ever hire them for catering a party. We did that, which…read morerequires pre-payment, and Jerry failed to deliver per contract. He promised 2 hours of all-you-can-eat but delivered only 45 minutes, after which he took some key ingredients away to another truck elsewhere, where he had paying customers in line, I'm guessing. I paid top dollar for what I thought was a professional caterer, too. I requested a very modest partial refund in writing, but was ignored. His two workers were nice- that wasn't a problem.

I'll start out by saying that the food I tried was quite tasty but... I had the Banh-Torta, an attempt at a fusion of the Vietnamese Banh Mi and the Mexican Torta. You can get either of these on their own in San Jose for about 6 bucks but adding guacamole makes this Bahn Mi 9 bucks? The bread had a tough bite, not the crunchy crust and soft center of a killer French baguette or the yummy texture of a great Torta roll grilled on a flat top. More like a day old sourdough that wasn't sour, not a good fit in my opinion. Lots of good flavored fillings like pickled and fresh jalapenos, and Sriracha mayo. The real disappointment was that everything was cold. If the steak was first warmed on the grill (standard practice for any food truck) or the bread was toasted or something to add some warmth to the equation, maybe I would have been swayed to 4 stars. I know they are just starting out and this is the first Yelp review but I did mention I was going to add them to Yelp and Rachel the chef/owner handed my wife her cold sandwich while smoking a cigarette with the other hand. I'm not sure if this is some sort of health code violation or what but California's no smoking laws don't allow smoking within 25 feet of any door or window leading to a place that serves food. Smoking in the kitchen is a pretty bad display of disregard in my opinion. I won't be lining up next time this truck is in town but you should try them for yourself and hopefully my honest review gives them some direction for success.

The tacos are both pretty filling, with the asada being well cooked and seasoned. I'm not a big fan of beans though, so I would be asking for no beans next time. The truck also offers a lot of different foods like hot dogs, burgers, burritos, etc. I believe they also have $3 fish tacos on Wednesday's and Friday's too They are on campus behind Science and Engineering building (next to the west core parking structure) from 12:00pm-2:00pm. They're cash only but with less than $10 you're able to get a filing meal here. Overall, this is a good place for a quick bite on campus.

There is plenty of outdoor seating, and service was friendly & efficient. We were lucky enough to grab a parking spot in the free parking lot nearby - it's not easy to find one on the weekend.

The location isn't the best, definitely witnessed some interesting drunk people and conversations while waiting for the food, but it made it entertaining!

We got 2 Burgers and 2 fries at the Capitola Art and Wine Festival a couple of weeks ago and the Burgers were absolutely the worst I have had since the cafeteria burgers in High School.

I think if you need to get $10 from your customers to make the economics work, give them 2 sandwiches? We also split a bowl of tomato soup that was $7 and filled two tiny cups half way. So a $17 snack shared between two people was a nice tasting but barely put a dent in our hunger. The sandwich was great, a blend of 3 cheeses grilled to perfection on the flat top. Rachel also offer's some more elaborate takes on the classic pushing the price up to $16. The soup was delicious, a tomato basil bisque. I wish I could get a pint glass full instead of a tiny cup! (She was setup at a brewery). Talking to Rachel, she is obviously is not a fan of Yelp because there are folks out there that can only offer their negative energy for reviews. While I agree with her on that note, I also feel constructive criticism helps businesses get better! Give her rebrand of Union Foodie truck a try!
