As someone born and raised in Louisiana, soul food isn't just food to me--it's home, it's family,…read moreit's love on a plate. I've been living in Arizona for almost four years now, and I haven't had real soul food in all that time... until tonight. Mel N Libby's showed up at my apartment complex, and I knew I had to try it--but I'll admit, I was nervous. If you're Southern, you know what I mean. I asked where she was from, because a real Southern cook just knows. When she said the Carolinas, I felt that nervousness melt away. I ordered the Mel Special, and let me tell you--this was a feast. Ribs, tenders, baked mac and cheese, collard greens, fried shrimp, cornbread, and banana pudding. The portions were generous, the food was hot, and every bite tasted like it was made with intention and love. My first bite honestly brought me to tears. It reminded me so much of my mom's cooking--comforting, rich, soulful. It healed a part of my homesick heart that I didn't even realize was still aching. Mel N Libby's isn't just serving food--they're serving memories, comfort, and a true taste of the South. If you're missing home, craving soul food done right, or just want a meal that feeds your spirit as much as your stomach... don't walk--run to this truck. I will be back every chance I get.

If you're on the hunt for solid birria tacos on the west side, Taco Taco in Avondale definitely…read moredeserves a stop. As expected from a food truck, the setup is simple and no-frills--but that's part of the charm. What really stands out is the efficiency and friendliness of the service. The staff is welcoming, quick, and make the whole experience feel easy and approachable. One of the biggest conveniences is their text-ahead ordering option, which is a game changer. Being able to place your order in advance and have it ready when you arrive saves time and makes the whole process seamless. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the birria tacos. They're everything you'd hope for--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, with that deep, slow-cooked flavor that really comes through in every bite. The tortillas are nicely crisped, giving you that perfect balance of texture, especially when dipped into the consommé. Speaking of which, the consommé is packed with flavor--savory, slightly spicy, and exactly what you want alongside a good birria taco. This isn't a fancy dining experience, but it doesn't try to be--and it doesn't need to be. Taco Taco delivers where it counts: quality food, great service, and convenience. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or planning ahead with a text order, it's a reliable spot that hits the craving every time. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Avondale area and looking for authentic, satisfying birria tacos.

She turned the pin pad over for me to tap and said "$18" after asking why it was that much for what I had ordered she said "it's the coke" so I said "okay then no soda" and rolled her eyes, she flipped the card reader back over and said "$4". Scam?? Where else is a can of Coca-Cola $14?!

What's Fresh? - Food Truck Thursday…read more Holy crap! I'm not usually a cold sandwich type of guy for food truck Thursday but on the recommendation of a friend I had to try it. Warren, the executive chef and owner of What's Fresh?, crushed the competition today. I was immediately greeted by a very friendly smile, none other than the owners Mom. Yup, Warren's mother. This is the lady who makes the pickles for their sandwiches and wraps. I ordered the porktastic sandwich with the hope that it would be good. Unwrapping this meal I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of bread Warren uses for his sandwiches. The mustard used on it is the perfect complement to the fresh greens and pork. The explosion of flavors complimenting each other was absolutely awesome!!! Fresh tomato, a fresh mix of greens (baby spinach is always good with pork) and those pickles. Pickles! Crisp with a lot of flavor! I loved it! Just so you know, for the $8 you not only get the sandwich but a bag of chips and a drink. That's $2 less than any other food truck on the street. I guess fresher is better! While Warren and his wife Bonnie have only been working the food truck for 4 months, it is definitely a hit around here. Whether it's a sandwich or a wrap, it will always be fresh and delicious. If you get a chance to catch What's Fresh, make sure to tell Warren to ride his bike more often! Yes, he rides. In fact, he was proudly representing a local ride t-shirt. Support a local biker who uses locally sourced ingredients. Feed your face, and be good to one another. Grumpy PS. Ask for extra pickles!!! They are THAT good!

The gal who took my order was super friendly. My partner and I ordered the Meatasticka (pepperoni) and they brought it to us inside Rift when it was ready.

It was a little greasier than to my liking but what made up for it was the crust, which was AMAZING!!!! The pizza ended up pairing so nicely with our drinks and I'd definitely consider ordering from them again the next time they're parked outside Rift!
