    I finally got my Cuban today! After craving one all day and being dissapointed with not being able to find the Kubano truck, I finally got my fix. Food truck Thursdays at Lake Ella are a must! Not only was the food good but the music was awesome! I got to eat some yummy Cuban food and watch my two little girls dance around and have fun. What a great way to end my Thursday night. Back to the food. It was flavorful and moist. I would def. Recommend this truck for anyone with a Cuban craving. The portion was even a bit much for me lol I could have gotten away with eating half! Will be trying other dishes from this truck and reviewing.

    One of my favorite food trucks in Tallahassee. The chicken mofungo is amazing, and unlike anything else I've seen from a food truck.

    Valhalla Grill - The Viking w/ sweet potato fries

    First off, way to go Dawn O. for setting up the business listing. Aren't Elites the best?!…read more Anyways, Valhalla has been a staple at Food Truck Thursday's and First Friday's for years. And for good reason. The portions are ginormous and I'm always left satisfied. Last night's sandwich was a beast of a meal. The Viking contained mountains of roast beef (sliced to order) and a heaping helpful of delicious horseradish mayo. Winner winner, roast beef dinner. The sweet potatoes were long and tender. Compared to other SPF's around town, they're run of the mill, but still very good. You can never go wrong with Valhalla Grill. Check 'em out for yourself!

Tonight's special, the Smashburger, was the meal my husband ordered. It is half a lb with caramelized onions, American cheese, and bacon. You can get any entree in combo form with sweet potato or crumble fries, tater tots or eggplant fries. In addition, you can add poutine or beer cheese to your sides. Sadly they were out of beer cheese, but I was not disappointed with the eggplant fries and horseradish mayo I got with my Phoenix or spicy version of a gyro. I think someone who can handle a bit of spice can tackle the Phoenix because it is slightly spicy, but not very spicy with its Thai sauce. I got a "smaller" burger for my son, but it is as big as his head. He will have lunch for tomorrow as well. My daughter chose The Curry Phoenix, but got the sauce on the side because she is sensitive to spicy dishes. We will be back and often! I am so grateful they are located nearby, even if it is only temporary.

Located at the corner of Thomasville Rd and East 7th Avenue at the convenience store near Midtown Caboose. We stopped by for a quick afternoon snack, and our tacos were absolutely stacked! We ordered one taco each, and they were loaded all the way up! The service was top notch and they offer cute little outdoor shaded picnic tables so you can save your vehicle upholstery from wearing your meal. Be sure to get them "con todo" with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, onion, street corn, and guacamole salsa. These tacos were a perfect balance of spicy heat and cool freshness. They make everything by scratch daily. ‼‼Holy Frijoles‼‼ it was definitely another praiseworthy food experience! Come Back Tacos... can I get an Amen?

Ordering is done through a tablet, which means simple customizations aren't an option. My friend wanted a cheese quesadilla, but the system forced us to order it with meat at the same price point, which was disappointing. The food took at least 30 minutes to come out, and when it did, my chicken tacos were overly salty and drenched in liquid/grease, making the flour tortilla soggy. My taco meal came with chips and salsa but the salsa appeared to be premade from a jar like Tostitos Chunky Salsa. While I'm glad I gave it a try and respect the effort, the inability to modify orders and the extended wait time make it hard to justify a return visit, especially if you're on lunchtime and have a time constraint.

    A wonderful weekly event that brings the community together for great food, music, and friendship!…read more Food Truck Thursdays at Lake Ella Park are always a relaxing time to spend with friends, hanging out under the canopy trees and listening to a local band or musician. With food, there's usually about 8 trucks or so scattered around, with everything from pizza, tacos, and reuben sandwiches to cupcakes and other sweets. Plus, you can take advantage of the businesses in the cottages for sweet ice cream, peanut brittle, and snowballs (which were my personal favorite). Remember to bring a camp chair or blanket, as there is no seating available. Also, if you want, you can bring beer or wine. Finally, you could end up having to park all the way down the street, so you may want to arrive early just in case.

    I come out to Food Truck Thursday a few times a year. I enjoy the music, variety of food trucks…read moreand hanging out with friends here. The stage was angled oddly this time so it was not directly facing the majority of the crowd. Also, there was a huge tree right in front of the stage which blocked the view. Parking is a pain typically with any event at Lake Ella. There were 7 food trucks out there this time, which includes Lucy & Leo's cupcakes in an adorable vintage style camper. I bought food from El Criollo and Street Chefs. Friends bought food from Valhalla and Fired Up Pizza. Overall, if the weather is good, this is a relaxing way to spend an evening out.
