Literally the carnitas meat wasn't even cut. This was a huge chunk that was found mixed in.
Anna N.

Came here a few nights ago with my boyfriend because our neighborhood was having a food truck night! Let me be honest and say I was far from impressed, especially with the prices. The prices on the truck were written with dry erase marker... (this leads us to believe that they change the prices based on the neighborhood/area they are in). I ordered a asada burrito. The burrito was okay, pretty tasteless and there wasn't as much steak as I had hoped for paying $13. My boyfriend ordered the special which was a Carnitas plate. There were huge chunks of meat that hadn't been cut like the other pieces and his beans were so watered down they didnt even have the correct refried beans consistency. He paid $12 for his and wasn't impressed either. Also, the meals came with tortilla chips that look and taste like they came out of a Walmart bag. And the salsa that came with it was very strange and such a little portion that we didn't have enough for our Walmart chips... I will say that the people who own the truck were very kind and we didn't have to wait very long... maybe 10 minutes.

Steak and chicken with rice and beans
Cuey M.

I should have listened to the review but it was lunch time and I didn't feel like driving since they were park right outside the office. My other sign was when the guy asked if it's usually this slow around here. I got the special with came with rice, beans, tacos and some tortilla chips. The flavor was lacking, big time. The shredded chicken taco was terrible. I LOVE me some taco trucks but this one isn't doing it right.

Quick Mexican in a truck
NaLonda B.

My job likes to host food trucks in their parking lot. Normally more than one. I picked Mexican...because Mexican is always my #1 choice. Unfortunately they let me down. I was hoping to have some yummy nachos but no so. I ordered the Carne Asada Nachos. You know how you can have someone recipe and make it and then it really doesn't taste the same as the person who normally makes it? Well, that is what happened here. $10 nachos had subpar ingredients, store bought tortilla chips were stale. I wished I took a picture. I won't give up in Mexican but not a fan of this truck. Regarding their service, my friend ordered from one other truck next to it and wanted to order a single taco to try. The staff would not sell a single order. I hope they are able to do better for their next customers.

I love me some Mexican food and in all a out the street food but this was very dissappointing.(I'm from Texas so I know a good taco truck but this one was not it. Paid $13.38 for a Mexican corn which was corn on the cob with some cheese on it and 3 tiny tacos no pica no salsa no nada. They had no beans and it was 12pm at the beginning of lunch. How u gonna be a Mexican food truck with no beans. Seriously. The food was a dry and barely warm and the rice was plain dry and a bit overcooked. I hate to slam a truck but y'all need to get it together l. Un lío caliente

I'm giving them three stars for the corn only Which should be five stars! It was the best street corn I've eaten so far. If you see them around your area, go try their corn! Now for the papusas! I've had papusas and what they served was nothing like what I had before. The price was $7.00 and was not worth it. Now this is why they are not rated higher than three stars. The papusas were dry and the cabbage and carrots garnish was also dry and why did they add dry tortillas chips to the mix? That made it worse! Come on people if you love the papusas you don't know how it is supposed to taste. The best thing they have going is the street corn. I would visit them just to get that.

Shrimp Tacos (3)
Tiffany M.

I looked at the photos before going and they advertised hand made corn tortillas and the option to order a la carte tacos. They wouldn't let me order just 2 tacos, so I had to order 3. They had store bought corn tortillas and tortilla chips. It was a total let down. Just ehh... save your money.

The tacos are awesome and the staff is very friendly!!! I highly recommend you try this truck!!!

Brisket Melt was fantastic, pulled pork lacked a little flavor and leaned more towards the dry side…read morebut not bad. They didn't have wings ready yet which was really disappointing as I had read they were excellent. The BBQ sauce was thinner and more tart than we prefer, but again, not bad. Inside the building was a bit crowded and confusing. The drink machine is right in the middle of where you stand in line to order so that was a bit of a hassle. Inside tables were full so we ate outside, not a great view, but thankfully it wasn't too hot out. The staff were friendly enough and the food was better than a lot of places though a bit in the pricey side.

We came in on a Wednesday evening. We asked about the menu and were told at the counter that it was Wing Wednesday and the wings were $1 each. Well how could we not add those onto our order. We ordered a Burnt Ends platter with mac and cheese, and corn nuggets, a Brisket Platter with corn nuggets and beans. We also ordered a large mac for my son and a side of lean brisket. For the wings we ordered the Cajun ranch. Our food started coming out in about 5 minutes. Firstly, I was shocked at the wings. I love wings, but they aren't something I usually order often as I find them just OK. There are only a couple places that I visit specifically for wings. Well, let me tell you, I would make a visit back just for these wings. OMG, the Cajun ranch was simply amazing, really addictive. They were my favorite item. We devoured them. The burnt ends were very good. I appreciate they are big chunks of brisket with no pull pork filler. The flavor was amazing as well and the bits of fat melted in our mouth. The corn nuggets were fine and the Mac N Cheese was quite tasty. We enjoyed the meal so much, were were trying to figure out somewhere for a family lunch the next Sunday and came back again. This time my sister, son and I brought my dad. We of course ordered more wings and burnt ends and brisket with lots of Mac N Cheese. The food really is something special. The wings are absolutely wonderful and the burnt ends are a hit. This is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants and will always be on my list of visits to enjoy when I come back to Jax.

The vegan canoa was great with jackfruit. For my taste I don't think it needs extra sweetness from the sauces since it is on a sweet plantain already. I would adjust the sweetness of the sauces for the vegan option. The yucca fries are the same as you get in the area. Frozen and about 6 for $4. I would like to see a signature sauce for o go with them since everyone in St A does a coconut sauce which is too sweet. I think a mayo-ketchup would be perfect.

My fried shrimp were also plump and juicy in the taco. My friend loved her pork tacos and I tried one of her tostones which was also delicious! The service was friendly from the woman working the cash register to the young man serving the tacos out of the truck. They had a variety of sandwiches, tacos, sides, and even a chicken tender basket that my friend enjoyed. Her fries were seasoned really well too. 5 stars. I will absolutely keep an eye out for this delicious food truck again in the future!

We decided to order the Steak Wrap, the Murphy Chorizo Burrito, and an order of loaded Hash Rounds. Our food was ready in about 5 minutes! We brought it home to eat, but I have to tell you, the tantalizing aroma of all those spices and goodness was enough to make me want to rip open my box right there in the car! This is some of THE BEST food I've had anywhere in a long time! The grilled veggies (peppers & onions) were perfect-not too hard, not too soft (although personally I prefer mine a bit softer, I think the Bearded Chef has it just right, cooked to please almost anyone. The steak in my wrap was tender. Cheese oozed out of everything! My sons burrito was equally tasty with all sorts of flavors combining to make really an ultimate burrito. The Loaded Hash Rounds are plump fried mounds of potato (handmade) with chorizo sausage, cheese and topped with lime crema.

Dorami Food Truck Experience -- 7:49 PM, Friday, April 10, 2026…read more I was genuinely excited to see Dorami listed in my neighborhood the day before and made an effort to stop by, even knowing I might be cutting it close to closing time. As I drove into the Bartram clubhouse parking lot, I was happy to see the truck still there. The service window was open, and there were no visible signs indicating that you were closed. I walked up, took a moment to look over the menu, and was ready to place a fairly large order. Unfortunately, before I could say a word, I was abruptly waved away by a staff member who told me they were closed--in a tone that came across as dismissive and unwelcoming. I completely understand that closing time is closing time, and there may have been circumstances I wasn't aware of. However, customer service doesn't end the moment service stops. A brief, courteous explanation or even a simple apology would have made a big difference in how that interaction felt. I came ready and excited to support your business, but instead left without food and with a very negative impression. As a military veteran who has spent time in Okinawa, I have a deep appreciation for food that brings back meaningful memories, and I make a point to support businesses that offer that connection. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. Great food is only part of the experience--how customers are treated, even in brief interactions, leaves a lasting impression. Thank you for your time.

I decided to…read morechange my plans and get something from Taste of Korea instead and I'm glad that I was able to try it. I got the regular doshirak, which was essentially a large bento box. I opted for beef bulgogi and it came with rice, a fried dumpling, japchae, kimchi, pickled veggies, Korean rolled egg, bean sprouts, and a couple of other sides. The food was ready faster than the 15 minutes quoted, which was great. I enjoyed the bulgogi. It was tender and had good flavor. The pickled veggies and kimchi were the most flavorful sides. I also liked the japchae. The dumpling was too greasy, as evidenced by the grease in the wrapper and the egg and rice didn't have much flavor. The egg needed salt. I really wanted - and should've ordered - the Korean hot dog...next time. This place has great customer service and packaging.

Whether they were small versions of actual vehicles in production, or crazy dragsters or monster themed or anything else the wizards at Mattel could come up with, I wanted them all. You know what I didn't really want or collect as a kid? Trucks. Sorry Tonka. But I just didn't care about dump trucks or bulldozers or big rigs. And you know what, I kind of felt that way as an adult about food trucks. I mean, to me they were fine, but like my penchant for hot wheels in the past, I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant. Yeah, well Taste of Korea has me rethinking my food truck aversion! Located in a pretty ordinary parking lot on Beach Blvd, this is definitely a little food truck that can deliver some fantastic food! The guy taking orders is super friendly and patient as a noob like me tried to figure out what to order. Ultimately went with the Premium Doshirak, the bibimbap and the kimbap. For both the doshirak and the bibimbap I got the bulgogi beef for the protein. On the kimbap I tried the ham. All were excellent. The Doshirak is a cool box filled with banchan - small side dishes, and cooked rice. The banchan include Kimche, Japchae, fried dumplings and some cool desserts. The blogs is excellent and all of the banchan tasted great. I thought the eggplant was a little mushy but the flavor was still really good. Bibimbap flavor was excellent as well. The only downside is that the rice at the bottom doesn't get all crunchy from being cooked at the bottom of the hot bowl. But it was a minor issue to me. And the kimbap was super fresh. The ham wasn't overpowering and it was a nice change from getting role bulgogi in the kimbap as well. The only wish I have is more variation on the proteins for the dishes we got. But the food is super tasty and I look forward to going back to try the fried chicken and well, anything else on the menu. Maybe I'll bring a matchbox car or two to help pass the time while waiting for the food!

Yes, I'm talking about eating at the food truck called On the Fly. Calling it a food truck is in this number, I'm not sure what you would call. It is fabulous. Now let's start off with the negatives, parking is not as easy as it is for most lunch places, but it's really not that bad if you know what you're doing. There are plenty of slots on the street before you get to the restaurant, and if you called ahead and are just picking up then you can park in the reserve lot, where On the Fly is located. Now these spaces are reserved for lawyers going to the courthouse, which is nearby. So you can't park there here all day, but if you're just stopping in for lunch or if you've called ahead or just picking up takeout, then you should be fine. If you're in someone's spot, the first place to look is the restaurant, so just know you may have to move fairly quickly. For me, I like to call in advance, place my order, and then Park in one of the spaces. Then I pick up my food and go and I'm only there for five minutes. Now that that's all out of the way, let's talk about some of the best food that you will have in Jaxonville. On the Fly sauce - I think this is made by a team of leprechauns they keep in the back of the food truck. Because it comes out so fresh, so delicious, and if they sold it by the gallon, I would be numero Uno in buying it. Blue chips - a great starter chips and blue cheese, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Firecracker Sesame seared Tuna - another solid performer, it has some kick to it, although the tuna is always perfectly cooked. Sweet and spicy quesadilla - oh my God, this dishes as close to heaven as I think I will ever get to. The chicken is so tender and put into a tortilla with caramelized onions, banana peppers, and covered in On the Fly sauce. I don't know how but this works so well you cannot imagine. Service 5/5stars Food 10/5 stars Parking 3/5.
