    Perfection
    Jonah F.

    Absolutely the best truck in the park, had one guy named Jonah cook some great food. Really good customer service and a great overall experience. Definitely recommend

    I was on vacation with my kids and came here to check out all the food trucks. We saw the exp truck, and it sounded great. First impressions: There are no prices for the food on the menu, so your ordering blind. Everything sounded great, so I didn't care too much, but after I received my receipt, it was almost $70 for three of us. The food was ok, pretty healthy servings, but it was just ok. We wanted some desserts that were on the menu, but we we're informed they didn't have any available. Overall, it was a fun one-time experience.

    Carnitas Street Tacos

    Y'all, this food is bomb! Locally sourced and full of flavor for a reasonable price...Ohh and the chefs couldn't be more personable, you can tell that they really love what they do. At my first visit I tried the breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit, sorry forgot to snap a pic...and it was DELICIOUS, crave-able good. Today I ordered carnitas street tacos based on a recommendation, and the flavor was on point. Super grateful to have found this gem in the Lago food truck park. They do move around town so make sure to check their schedule before heading that way.

    I think this place is new but all of the people in front of me were regulars so I know it was good. The owner is working the line and preparing food order. My son had the chicken and waffles and refused to let me taste it because it was so good. I had the protein bowl. It was a seared seasoned shredded steak with crispy deep-fried Brussel sprouts. It was super reasonably priced with the chicken and waffles only being $8 and the protein bowl $10. The chef owner came out and checked on us halfway through the meal. Love supporting local. Highly recommend.

    The braised beef panini is off the chain! Dang it's good, delicious fries and the service is great. 2 awesome dudes running the show. Do yourself a favor and taste their flavor!

    The people are ready and helpful, they 2 guys that run the place can have a conversation with you and help guide you. The pollo (chicken) is its own address. The chicken reminds me of a Sunday dinner before restaurants were every where. I will come again.

    Philly cheesesteak. YUMMMMM!!

    I had a confusing experience today. When placing my order in store, of two sandwiches, I was asked…read moreto confirm if I wanted lettuce and tomato. I said yes, I want everything as is (included in the description) and to add jalapeños. I was told that sometimes they don't put this on the sandwich, it really depends. I confirmed again that I wanted lettuce and tomato plus jalapeños as I originally ordered. I thought it was strange on the "sometimes they don't put this on the sandwich" ? Well, I got home. There was no lettuce, no tomato and no jalapeños. My husband didn't eat his sandwich due to half of the sandwich being missing.

    I'm extremely disappointed with the Ike's location in Cedar Park. I signed up for their rewards…read moreprogram back in October and received an email for a free sandwich. Despite visiting the store three or four times and speaking with different managers, no one ever helped me redeem it. The free sandwich never showed up on my account, and I never got to use it. On my last visit, not only was I told the reward was expired (even though I never had a chance to use it), but I was also treated rudely by the manager. I ordered the Da Vinci sandwich with specific instructions: lettuce and tomato only, no Italian dressing, and no spicy ingredients. Instead, my sandwich was made loaded with jalapeños, pepperoncinis, and hot peppers hidden under the cheese-- totally opposite of what I asked for. It felt intentional and disrespectful. My dad was worried they would mess with our food and I said I'm not worried b/c I thought they would be more professional. I way underestimated the maturity of those workers. The sandwich was so spicy I couldn't even eat it. These are expensive sandwiches, and I expected better quality and service. This was honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had at a sandwich shop. I won't be returning to the Cedar Park location --if I ever return to Ike's I'll stick to the Round Rock or North Austin stores instead. Really disappointing experience from a brand I used to love.

    Smokin' Good Vibes, But Not That Kind of Smokin'. A cannabis-loving friend put me onto this spot,…read moreand after hearing all the hype, I had to check it out for myself. I quickly learned why it's a favorite among the elevated crowd, the sandwiches are named after different THC strains! Before anyone asks, no, the food is not infused. The names are just part of the fun. Now, I'm a toasted sub enthusiast, and a toasted sandwich is only as good as its bread. Thankfully, this place delivers. The menu is creative, the atmosphere is laid-back, and there are plenty of little touches that make it stand out. One of my favorite surprises was the drink fountain stocked with old-school Kool-Aid flavors. Instant nostalgia! They also have a full bar and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to kick back and hang out. Don't skip the house-made "smoker snacks" either. The Rice Krispie treats and cookies are dangerously good and worth saving room for. A heads-up: parking can be a little tight up front, but I've heard there's additional parking in the back. My biggest piece of advice? Go big. The small sandwich is basically foreplay, it'll leave you wanting more. Order the large and thank me later. Overall: Great food, fun theme, nostalgic drinks, tasty treats, and chill vibes. Definitely a spot worth checking out, whether you're a cannabis connoisseur or just someone who appreciates a solid sandwich.

    Wow-where has Cheba Hut been all my life? I had popped in last Saturday to grab a quick bite. The…read moreatmosphere is so inviting /lots of people and lots of seating A concept I've not ever seen before in a toasted sub sandwich shop-or frankly any brand of sub sandwich location. I ordered a 4 inch essentially vegetarian sandwich. They have 4"-8" and 12" subs available and lots of choices-with unique names -mine was called "the Griefo" along with a make your own option. My sandwich had a couple of different types of lettuce, along with cucumber, red onion, and dill pickles (I requested) on a jalapeño cream cheese base. I was given a stand with the picture on it, and was advised the sandwich would be brought to me . After ordering my sandwich, I stepped across to the bar where I chose to sit on the outside barstools. The bar seating was quite full, but it was a beautiful day with a healthy breeze, so I was quite comfortable. The young lady behind the bar was very prompt in coming by to ask me if I would like a beverage and so I ordered a strawberry margarita. (a note.: they do not have frozen drinks at this time). She advised me it was the first time she had made a strawberry Version Of a margarita-but she did a great job and it was on point!!! shortly I was served my sandwich. (I didn't mention that there are options for bread for your sandwich, and I chose the herb and garlic.) I don't know where they get their bread, but it's delicious. My sandwich was stuffed with ingredients and looked and tasted really great!! What a great introduction to this cute little shop tucked away in a strip center off of W. Hero Way in Leander. In fact, it was so good that last night I phoned in an order and the three of us had it for dinner. I did attempt to use the online ordering system, but it kept notifying me that the restaurant was not taking online orders at that time. I knew it would be very risky to call in the order because I have a couple of people here that are very picky and although we found sandwiches for them, they were going to have to be a lot of alterations!!! However , I did call and a man on the other end of the phone took my order. Giving it was very intense making sure that I eliminated all the items that the two picky people in my household don't eat. In all honesty I didn't expect the sandwiches to turn out perfectly as there was a lot of background noise (sounded like everybody was having a great time there!!!). I was told the sandwiches would be ready in about 15 minutes so when I hung up I proceeded to get ready and drove over there. There is a separate area for to go orders so that is where I went. The young lady who was helping me couldn't find my order, but then I thought to tell her I phoned it in and they kept those orders in a different area up by the cash register. Sure enough there it was ready and waiting. The 8" White Widow was made exactly as requested. My son said the chicken breast in the sandwich had the best seasoning and flavor he had ever had. Next was the 4 inch Pacific blue which is a tuna melt(fresh tuna salad with cheddar cheese) and toasted too perfection. It also had to be altered, but was made just as requested. I had ordered the Griefo w/jalapeño cream cheese along with all the veggies-asked for pickles to be added, which they were! We had ordered one of the desserts, a "Gooball" which was similar to a rice crispy, treat with peanut butter, added and shaped into a ball.... how could that not be delicious???? We were more than satisfied with our sandwiches and divided up the Gooball so we all could have a taste. The perfect bite of sweetness at the end of a meal.!! We can't wait to experience their food again!!
