Most of the items at this truck are on the heavy side such as quesadillas, grilled cheese, and loaded fries. A lot of the menu consists of pulled pork items, but I do suggest that you go with the pork because it's quite tasty. I went with the Smokey Meaty BBQ burger. Pulled pork is piled onto a soft bun, topped with a burger patty, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and crispy onions. I would have preferred the burger to be cooked to a more medium temperature but overall it was loaded with flavor. A good amount of pieces of pork were on the crispy side which provided a nice variety in texture but could definitely come across as too dry to some people. The meal was really filling and left me pretty thirsty so I know it's heavy on the salt. read more

Comet BBQ - Smokey Meaty BBQ Burger - Food Trucks Near Me

(Dined 08/24/19 SA @ 6:30pm): "Come-et" get some BBQ from this N'Orleans-style food truck! I recently enjoyed a viewing of "Do The Right Thing" during an Eat See Hear event at Santa Monica High School's Greek Amphitheatre when I had my first eating experience with Comet BBQ Food Truck. Although I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, I wasn't familiar with this food truck which immediately intrigued me. Plus, I liked Cajun food which I imagined they served based on all the fleur-de-lis that covered the truck and was few and far between here in L.A. Would I consider another ride on this comet after this initial flight!?: QUICK BIO "Comet BBQ is bringing you food that is out of this world! Traveling across the stars to the streets of L.A., Comet BBQ will serve you the most satisfying cuisine you've ever seen. So if you're looking for some BBQ that'll send you to the moon, you're looking for Comet BBQ!" PURCHASE Thai Iced Tea Boba ($3.00): A nice 16 oz. cup filled with minimal ice, a decent amount of small/medium chewy tapioca balls, and a muddled orange semi-sweet tea with a good consistency. A pleasant surprise from such an odd menu item from this truck https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=g1eVxH54ehfWk4Zf7d18-g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Sprite Soda ($3.00): One of the few sodas I drank for its lemon lime flavor and no caffeine - aaahhh! Smoked Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($7.00): Pulled pork smoked for more than 10 hours, homemade BBQ sauce, and cheddar cheese all stuffed between buttery toasted white bread, this was more about massive amounts of succulent pulled pork and less about gooey grilled cheese... and I wasn't complaining! Finely-shredded pork that dripped with au jus juices down my chin and wrist, this was some sloppy goodness https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Eilt6-RDdzw4iAs3xBeiZQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE The tiny staff that consisted of one female order-taker and two male cooks seemed to work well as they kept the line flowing. From the time I ordered to when I received my complete order was about a 10-minute wait (standard) as the line was decent and others also waited for their food. I grabbed my tray of food, napkins, and found a concrete seat where I relaxingly ate my meal. All was good from this celestial vessel! PARKING (Varied; $5.00 this instance) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever the event was held. In this case, the event took place on a high school campus but unsure if their parking was available for patrons. Otherwise, I parked across the street at the public civic center parking lot for a $5 flat fee at this time while there seemed to be various paid parking garages, lots, and structures in the immediate area as well as metered street parking (valid until 6pm nightly) along the main drag of Pico Blvd. and other surrounding streets. Another option was a driving service like a bus, taxi, Lyft, or Uber (no nearby Metro train station). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with exterior visual menus https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WxHYyrFvqkQOj1XXRZr1Mw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, order and pick up windows, an area for condiments, napkins, and utensils, no designated seating area, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs nor background music https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=I72YAxtFWQZ3ox4vYss2RQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I would reach for the stars and take a ride on the Comet BBQ Food Truck again. The food was very good, they had a decent albeit unimaginative menu selection of items to choose from (i.e. meats, poultry, seafood, vegetarian), the prices were comparable or below, and the service was friendly and quick. Keep in mind there was nothing healthy about eating at this truck. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $13.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

I found this truck between barrington and bundy in front of the 11766 Wilshire office bldg. The lady working the truck was very polite, friendly and had my order ready in under 10 minutes...nice for the office crowd. I had the chicken tenders special and the angus burger. The tenders were as advertised-tender and oh so juicy. The crispiness was just right. These were the best chicken tenders I've ever had! Nice job Comet Team. The Angus Burger was also juicy, meaty with great flavor and achieved top five burger status for me this year whether truck or restaurant. Comet is now in my top ten list for food trucks. I'll try out their hotdogs next time. read more

Comet is a food truck you can often times find across from lacma during lunch hours. They've got pulled pork, ribs (seasonal), all types of bbq items, and tons of different grilled cheeses. I went with the smoked pork grilled cheese which was loaded pork. While the quantity was great, the taste was mediocre, just a typical grilled cheese nothing better. Fries were overly salty as well, but they got the Thai tea right. Good value for your dollar here read more

I had a pork taco and chicken sandwich today. The taco was yummy but very small. I ate it in 3 bites. At $3, that's about a buck a bite. The chicken sandwich was underwhelming. It was 3 chicken strips in a bun with lettuce, tomato and sauce. Luckily I had some pickles and onions at work to give it a little flavor. So note to future me, avoid the chicken sandwich. read more

Since my regular Lunch truck wasn't around today, I decided to give Comet BBQ Lunch Truck a Try, been meaning to for a while now, the picture on the side of their Truck drew my Eyes ;P I wanted to try out their Lance Beef BBQ but they were out -_- so i decided to try out their Chicken Skewers (Lance), i told them to skip the salad and macaroni and just to give me extra rice, the Friendly Cashier said no problem. while waiting for my food, i took pictures of their menu on the side of their truck for other Yelper to check out the pictures have a description of the dishes and prices. when my order arrived, i took a picture and tried it out, it was YUMMY! you can see the portion of the skewers on the pictures. The Peanut Sauce was so Good, it enhanced the Chicken when i dipped the chicken in it before i bite into it. i was full. i just found me another excellent food lunch! if you like any of the photos i posted, I would recommend you give them a try. read more

This food truck showed up one day near by workplace (just last week, in fact). I was drawn in by the golden fleur-de-lis on black print of the exterior, but pictures of the menu items seemed more appetizing! It appeared they advertise as offering "BBQ" but really, it's mostly sandwiches and burgers with some barbecue ingredients. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not entirely true "barbecue/bbq" in the traditional sense. On the plus side, they do advertise their pulled pork as being smoked for 10-14 hours (depending on whether you're getting their pulled pork sliders, pulled pork grilled cheese, or meaty and smokey bbq burger). I hope they are properly smoked at an off sight location and not just in that truck. I ordered the smoked pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich because it seemed like their most popular item and it looked the most tasty at first sight. The wait isn't too bad, even with several customers who ordered ahead of me. When my pulled pork grilled cheese came out, man, it looked really delicious. I think it would be best enjoyed right then and there, when the cheese is still ooey and gooey. I waited a few minutes and the cheese hardened up a bit. But the pulled pork is quite tender and juicy. Serving size is decent but I wish they stuffed it with a bit more pulled pork. It seemed a bit skimpy when you do peel apart the bread to reveal the inner contents. It could also use a bit more cheese. Would definitely try the other menu items next time around. Not bad for lunch! Pro-tip: For an extra spicy kick, they do offer Sriracha (cock sauce) as a condiment! read more

Comet BBQ - Smoked pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich. - Food Trucks Near Me

Purely from the point of view of buying baby back ribs from a truck, this place rules! So the first thing that must be said (and you'll notice this if you ever try this truck) is that the lady who takes your order is maybe the MOST EXCITED PERSON ever to sell you ribs. It's like the girl shot herself out of a Molly-Induced Happy Cannon. At first I was kinda thinking she was flirting with me but quickly realized this was her whole thing when she took the 12-year old girl's order after me. OK, that last part didn't happen but it felt like it did. Anyway, by contrast, the person who actually preps the food is quite the opposite. All business and no fuss, this lady just rocks out the hardest, all-business attitude and merely makes some of the best tasting ribs I've had anywhere... from a truck. I mean, in essence, these two ladies are like the very answer to the age-old question: "how would human beings personify the mullet?" Answer: with business in the front and party in the back, it would be these ladies bar none. For reals though, the food is pretty awesome. The rib combo platter comes with four ribs (attached), a hearty scoop of steamed rice, and a nice cup of mixed greens. There is also a small bit of chili oil and some green, jalapeno-cilantro like pesto that is spread slightly over the rice. Trust me, it's Jean Claude Vam Damme-kick you in your scrotum-delicious, if you were a masochist kind of way. Anyway, I see some window washers getting ready to do the seasonal office window cleaning so I gotta go open my office glass door and piss out that sumavabitch. I call it "Galaga: Real World Edition". =P read more

Comet BBQ - Lunch is served bitches. Ribs from a truck? I'm sure it's fine. - Food Trucks Near Me

Comet BBQ was a very pleasant surprise. I was hungry for some good protein that wasn't necessarily a taco/burrito/burger and this food truck fit the bill (although they do have those items mind you). They are really based around a few interesting concepts with their chicken/pulled pork including sandwiches and plates. I got the chicken skewers plate which comes with a salad, peanut sauce, rice (and some interesting green sauce) for about $8-$8.50 (about the average price for most of the items in the truck). My co-worker got the pulled pork sandwich. Service was very friendly and the order didn't take too long to come out. The food portions were great for the price and the taste was terrific! The four chicken skewers were cooked well and spiced well. The peanut sauce wasn't too heavy and the spices on the rice even made it taste awesome. My only qualm would be I wish there were more plate options or non-sandwich options. I'd love to try something like the pulled pork in a plate format with the salad (or mixing and matching). I hope they come back around near the West LA area again soon - it was a great option to have! read more

If you haven't had this food truck bbq then you are missing out on the best food truck in the Southern California area. I had the smoked meaty bbq pulled pork burger and it was one the best burgers i ever had in my life. The bun they used was great for the burger size and the amount of pulled pork and burger pattie size was perfect. The fries we're good too. I am definitely recommending this place to all my friends. read more

I had the Meaty-Smoky burger..$11 Great burger....the smokiness off the pulled pork with the crunch of the fried onions complimented the burger wonderfully.. Would definitely revisit. read more

Was watching my nephews soccer game and decided to grab a bite during half time. Food is mediocre honestly, but the Worst part is that after the game as we were walking to our vehicle, my nephew had an emergency- accidentally fell and hit his knee really hard on a piece of metal. Panicked I ran to the food truck asking for ice Please (explaining the situation) and the lady responded very rudely, "the ice is One dollar." A child was hurt and all they care about is charging a dollar for ice?!?! How utterly inhumane. Never buying nor recommending this ridiculous food truck. read more

3.5 Really not sure how to feel about Comet BBQ. I've had it a handful of times, and the prices are great, but twice now I've been left feeling I'll after eating the pulled pork. Once in a quesadilla, and once in a taco. But it's good! I liked it as I ate it, and I loved the salsa verde they provide, and the fact that it was only like 5 bucks for two tacos with a lot of meat, but it just didn't like me back. So, I say go try it. The food is good and the prices are good, that's what matters. If you feel sick afterward, they might need to look into it. if not, then it's just me! read more

Ordered the Pork Sliders [2 come in the order] and Fries walked away paying $10 so worth it as I made 2 meals outta it! The pork was moist, cooked to perfection myself personally I would had liked a tad more bbq sauce and no lettuce but that is part of the Korean BBQ I will keep an eye out for the Comet BBQ Ladies read more

They were located outside of the last Street Food Cinema event I attended. My Wife and I choice this truck because they had some yummy looking options and had a relatively short line compared to the other trucks. First off the food. Amazing, great crisp fries, baby back ribs were literally falling off the bones with a mild spicy sauce and the chicken skewers were mouth watering good. I loved the food and that almost merited 5 stars. They lost 2 stars because it took almost an hour to get our food. Their menu is too diverse and everyone in line appeared to be ordering different things.Our friends who got in a different line, longer mind you, at the same time got their food and had eaten and disposed of there trash before we got a taste. Thus, I Iove the food, I recommend it, if you have the time to wait. read more

Worse than fast food. The chicken sandwich looked and tasted nothing like the picture. It reminded me of the crispy chicken sandwich from Jack n the Box, but Jack is better. I kid you not! Oh and the Tapatio based sauce that they created did not go with the sandwich. I'm not sure how they have 4 stars. My friend didn't like her taco either. To make matters worse, they show like a six dollar price with a picture of the combo and when you get to the window they're like oh that's just the sandwich. And the girl taking orders acted a bit rude and impatient as if the food was so great and they had a line down the street. Negative And Negative. read more

Out with the family for an event and this truck was there. My husband and son chose a taco truck and my daughter and I chose this one. We ordered two burgers and then waited for our order. And then we waited and waited and waited. It took 30 min to get our food. My husband and son ordered their food and finished eating before we even got our food. The lines were the same size at both trucks. You expect quick food from a food truck. While the food was ok the wait time left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

Best grilled cheese with tomatoes hands down. The truck is opposite LACMA Saturdays and Sundays. The people after me loved their burgers too. Fantastic food and that from a Foodtruck! And they have an ATM! :) read more

I had to stay late at work yesterday ~ the thought of it killed me until my co-workers and I were discussing South Bay Din Din Ago Go at Narbonne High School on Thursday nights.... DING!!!!! So I checked the facebook page to see which trucks were scheduled to be there yesterday // quite honestly the yelp reviews are what made me choose the Comet BBQ truck (and two of my co-workers raved about the Kogi truck) I concur with the reviews I read - the girl at the truck is quite honestly the most friendly, spastic person I have met and her suggestions was spot on... the baby back ribs are DEEEELISH!!! Sweet, yet spicy with a little KICK!! The dressing on the salad greens was pretty yummy too and for those of you that like the "green sauce" at El Pollo Inka - well the green sauce on the scoop of steamed rice was similar to that!!! YUMMMMMMM I will try the chicken skewers next time.... I had to play rochambeau yesterday to decide between the baby back ribs or the chicken skewers ;) read more

I was speed-walking down food truck alley, making a bee line to get my weekly popcorn chicken fix, when I noticed an unfamiliar truck. I made a slight detour to take a quick peek at Comet Bbq. I saw a pretty basic menu and was just about to keep walking when a friendly voice asked if I'd ever tried Indonesian food. Thinking to myself, "popcorn chicken - don't lose sight of the mission" I wanted to push forward. I responded with a wary "no" and the voice started tempting me with a list of tangy ingredients -lime, peanut sauce, jalapeño- The mission has been compromised! Fallback. Fallback! It was too late. Before I knew it I had a generous portion of rice, salad and sweet and spicy chicken skewers in front of me. Honestly the friendly service lured me in, but I was really sold when I took the first bite. It was filling and packed with flavor combos that were new and different to me. I look forward to coming back and trying the ribs sometime soon. read more

I had their angus burger and fries. The burger was mediocre at best and the fries were definitely not fresh. Not particularly a bad food truck, but I'll probably go with another truck the next time I see them. :-/ read more

Comet BBQ visits my workplace once a week, and man, my co-worker and I always look forward to it! We get the BBQ Angus Burger, with Honey Mustard and Oh my god - That sh*t is good!!!!

OH. MY. GOD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? $6 for a mouth and belly full of pure delish.

You are my new favorite food truck. Please don't ever abandon me. read more

Visits: 1st Rating: 4* Service: Good Dishes: Angus Burger; Pulled Pork Sliders This was one of several food trucks serving at the Made In America festival at Grand Park (8/31/14). One hour wait in every food truck line. But no choice, hungry as a hippo. ¤ Angus Burger (4*). Hot off the grill. Simple burger with Angus beef, bun, cheddar cheese & lettuce. The Angus patty was thick & flavorful. Not in the sense of spices, didn't taste that. But more in the sense of grilled beef flavor. Wasn't sure if it was open flame or over charcoal but it almost tasted like it. Good burger. Wifey loved it because she loves simple beef flavor with no added spices/outside flavors (except a little ketchup with burgers). With the right high quality beef, you don't need much seasoning, if any, for it to taste good. ¤ Pulled Pork Slider (4*). Tender pulled pork drenched in flavorful BBQ sauce & topped with a handful of greens. Plenty of pulled pork for the sliders. The pork overflowed off the sides of the buns & onto the plates. Wife thought it was a tad on the sweet side but not too much. She's not into sweet sauces. But she still thought it was good. I think it's just right. It was sweet BBQ but not overly so, to me. It's all on preference. read more

Feeling a bit adventurous and craving something other than the normal American style food tracks I came across one of the best food trucks I have ever been to on my trip to LACMA. Along the street were several food trucks, but this place differed, since they actually serve Indonesian BBQ food. 4.99 for chicken skewers, rice, and salad 5.99 for beef skewers, rice, and salad 6.99 for BBQ pork ribs, rice and salad I had the pleasure of meeting one of the workers right in front of their truck and she was really nice in telling us what kind of food they served and how the current deal where if you like them on Facebook or check in on yelp you get a free soda ^^ My friend and I ordered the chicken skewers and the pork ribs. The taste of both were beyond amazing!!!!! We got 4 chicken skewers, and the chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, right amount of seasoning, but to go along with the chicken skewers was a peanut sauce. Hands down, this was definitely the best peanut sauce I have ever had, not to strong but not to light. Chicken + peanut sauce = foodgasm in your mouth!! The pork ribs were also amazing as well. They serve you about 4 bones worth, with plenty of meat on it. The sauce they had on it was a very sweet sauce, and had a very strong black pepper taste. The best part was the the ribs were super tender and cam off the bone very easily. Overall, the meal was amazing, and for just paying 12 dollars total, with the free two sodas for checking in, this is definitely a place to check out. PS, the plates they serve it on are some of the fanciest paper plates I've ever seen. Square plates are better than circle plates! read more

Comet BBQ - Chicken skewers! - Food Trucks Near Me

Went to the Autry Museum last night and Comet was there along with 20 additional trucks. It was wrapped in a Mexican food theme not bbq. We ordered a chipotle chicken grilled cheese. The cook could only manage one order at a time and we waited over 20 minutes and there were only 3 orders in front of us. This "chipotle " grilled cheese was bbq sauce! You're expecting spicy, smokey heat and we got sweet bbq sauce. Don't advertise it that way if you don't have the right sauce! There was nothing Mexican about that sandwich! I threw it away. It was trash. read more

@CometBBQ Baby back ribs from a truck.... And they're gooooood! Seriusly, this truck makes some mighty fine ribs. They're "fall-off-the-bone" tender and finished with a sweet, spicy glaze that definitely gives these ribs a tasty Asian slant. I enjoyed the hell out of them. But well cooked porkaliciousness will always win me over! But beyond that, the ribs are served with a salad and what tasted like garlic rice. I'm not sure that's what the rice was but it tasted like it and had little crunchy things in it. If you have a chance to try these ribs I highly recommend them and the price is reasonable. The rib combo is only 8 bucks! So I'll give these guys the best recommendation I can give... ________________________STALKER APPROVED_______________ read more

YUM! We happened to be walking by a bunch of food trucks parked over near the Petersen Automobile Museum and we took a good look at all the truck before ultimately deciding to come back to this one. Man, am I glad we did! I had the Chipotle chicken burger and it was AMAZING. It honest to got tasted like a fried chicken sandwich haha. Sooooo delicious. My brother had the bacon grilled cheese and loved that too. Food was served in a timely manner and we were given a sparkling water for free, too! read more

Yummy!! The spices and herbs they use are really good. I sometimes stalk this food truck since they're not always in the same spots. I usually find them by the LACMA. the beef skewers are so tender. Usually at Chinese restaurants beef can be pretty chewy. Not here! Not too many choices but you can't go wrong with the beef or chicken plates. Comes with rice, salad and Mac salad read more

Comet BBQ - So good! - Food Trucks Near Me

The only complaint I have about them is the wait is long! Food is delicious, I love the ribs and it's a lot of quantity too. It's 3-4 ribs on a bed of rice with a yummy cilantro peanut sauce, with a side of pasta salad and a green salad! I've also tried the Lance chicken which is tender and juicy (comes with the same sides and rice). Their boba milk tea is a little too sweet for my taste. All in all great food! read more

I went to LACMA early January and was really hungry. I decided to go to this food truck across the street because I looked at the menu and read "pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich". I decided to get one and realize how it tasted like heaven. After I left LA to go back home to San Diego, I was already craving it. Down in SD, there's no place that had pulled pick grilled cheese sandwiches. This sandwich was perfect. Right amount of meat, BBQ sauce, cheese and the crisp of the bread. I always call them when I head up there to see where they are at each time. I recently visited them again and they never fail. I will come back again soon! read more

This truck has great flavors and the pulled pork quesadilla and grill cheese are fantastic. I would highly recommend this truck!!!

Went to the Moonlight Forest Festival today and this truck was there. Decided to eat there and it took so long to get one meal from there and when I finally did get the food, there was a long piece of hair cooked into my burger. Almost $20 spent and a long time wasted waiting for my food, just to throw it away. read more

Ordered the meaty smoky burger with fries and added a peanut sauce (because when a place has peanut sauce, you get the peanut sauce). Came out to 12.80 which I found a little procy but I was ultimately okay with as both my sister and I had half and we were both quite satisfied (but the portion could be managed by a single very hungry person). The food was very good. 4-4.5 star rating. The bbq sauce and the crispy onions really came together with the peanut sauce. The service was top notch though. Even though the food took a little long, the truck owner was uber friendly and helpful. Didn't charge for the peanut sauce, cut my burger in half when I returned, and gave me an extra plate. read more

The breaded fried chicken burger was excellent. A crispy light crust enclosed a moist piece of white chicken. I'm always worried that the chicken will be dry but that was not the case here. These guys know how to fry right. I hope to find this truck again soon. read more

After a few hours at the LA County Museum of Art, I really needed a good meal. Comet BBQ food truck, just outside the museum (on Wilshire Blvd) did the trick!! For $10 and change, I had the smoked pulled pork grilled cheese and a Coke (could have added fries for $1.50?). The pork was moist and tasty, and pretty lean, which is good because I'm not into mouthfuls of fat. The sauce was great, as was crispy grilled bread. The only drawback, is I want to be picky, was that the cheese wasn't anything special. Waited about 8 minutes, as there were a number of people who ordered ahead of me. I'll go back, and next time, I hope I have room for the pulled pork French fries as well!! read more

Their Chipotle chicken sandwich is soooooo good and they give you great portion sizes. Chicken was fresh bread bun was delicious .
