    Is this the same chain as is popular in Miami? If so, we love it. What is the schedule for the food truck?

    It is not the same as Miami is Puerto Rican food the chicken is much better

    Man, was I glad to see the Caveman Truck parked beside the Speakeasy after a few beer samples at…read morethe Indiana Tasting Society event! The menu offered a few different foods with multiple choices on sizes (by the ounce), and the lovely hostess taking our order was delightful. We had a really hard time deciding what to get as everything looked reeeeeeally good, but we opted to split the following: *Bacon Hash -- 4 oz for $4 -- well worth it! *Barnyard chili -- 8 oz for $7 -- pricy yet tasty *Jicama Tacos (one chicken guac and one chorizo aioli) -- 2 for $7 -- messy but pretty good *Fudge bites for dessert -- $3 for one -- dark chocolate, peanut butter, banana, sea salt, and applesauce mixed and formed in to a hockey-puck type solid mass. It was not really sweet like I expected, and kind of hard to eat. Probably wouldn't get it again. Next time I will totally get the Brussels Sprouts for myself when not sharing with the hubs :) I would say overall this was a 3 1/2 star experience for me as it was over $20 for 'snacks' and we were still hungry afterwards, but a star bump for using real, quality ingredients.

Still, I'll support a paleo food truck when the truck has "bacon (greater than) gluten" painted on the side of it. That's one way to get my attention for sure! On our visit my boyfriend and I shared two tacos--one chicken, one chorizo--fried plantains, and the brussel sprouts. I have so many nice things to say about all three. Instead of corn or flour, Caveman Truck uses fresh jicama as a tortilla to hold its protein + slaw + guac/aioli. It's the perfect starchy alternative to cut through the good greasiness of the chorizo. The plantains are not only fried in coconut oil beautifully, but also they are caked with a curry-based seasoning, providing you with a sweet plantain that also has some savory elements to it. The brussel sprouts--my favorite of the three--are fried in coconut oil and topped with an overload of crumbled bacon and a spritz of lime. It's a little bit of fatty, a little bit of zesty and a whole lot of flavor. All three dishes knocked it out of the park. From here on out, I'll be keeping an eye out for the Caveman Truck on the streets of Indy, because I still need to try the highly-praised barnyard chili and bacon hash. If this is how our ancestors ate, then I can't wait to eat the primal way again!

    I'm trying to catch up on some of my food truck reviews from the 2025 Statehouse Market season…read more While I have historically had a few tried and true trucks, this year I've been trying to experiment more. Zo-Bot's Soda and Fries is pretty much exactly what you expect. Billing itself as Indy's first "Dirty Soda" shop, Zo-Bot's definitely did precede Swig, a national chain that recently entered the Indy market. For those not in the know, "Dirty Soda" is essentially a drink that includes soda "spiked" with cream, flavored syrups, or fruit juices. Strangely enough, the trend finds a lot of its roots in Mormonism (Don't ask me to explain it). Zo-Bot's has a decent variety of Dirty Soda options with bases of sodas like root beer, Coke, Sprite, lemonade, seltzer, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, and others. They also carry a variety of seasoned fries. The truck is fun and festive. The people are friendly. I really enjoy the drinks - I'm quite fond of the Indy 500 - a drink blending Mountain Dew, mango, and blood orange. I seem to be particularly fond of the Mountain Dew-based options. Being a footless Yelper, I had to try "Leg Day" - Mountain Dew, Peace, Pineapple, and Coconut Cream. I'm not a big fan of coconut, however, I did like this drink. This is the kind of truck I like finding at Statehouse Market. It's something I wouldn't usually seek out - an original experience on one of the rare days that I get out of my cubicle for lunch. I will admit I'm a bit hit-and-miss with the fries, though I'm still skewing upward toward a 5-star with quality products, fair prices, friendly employees, and a super fun truck. I do like the garlic parm seasoning for fries - plus, hey, they have funnel cake fries. It's decadent but fun and tasty.

    Zo-Bot's has the popular "dirty" sodas that are big out west namely Swigs who started them. I've…read morehad a couple different ones and I really like the Studer Special which is Dr. Pepper, cherry and vanilla cream drink. This is a husband and wife owned business. They come to lots of different farmers markets and events. They also serve seasoned fries with seven types of seasonings you can choose from - salt and vinegar, chipotle, garlic Parmesan and more. They also make funnel cake fries with caramel or chocolate toppings. These drinks hit the spot on a hot day!!! Wish I had one now!

    I have been trying to figure out how to get more of this delicious food since I tried it at a fall…read morefestival last year. I finally found out where the truck usually parks, Red Barrel Liquors in Mooresville. The chef is a very friendly person and easy to chat with. The area allows for easy parking so that you can order your food. The food is SOOOOO good, I have been telling everyone about this food. It's filling but I couldn't stop eating it after I was full. Don't try it if you're counting calories! It was so worth it for me. I had the queso mac n cheese brisket....... I can't even tell you how much I like it. It is some of the best food I've ever had but don't take my word for it. I highly recommend this food truck.

I ordered the same thing my sister wanted which was a Smash Burger with cheese and grilled onions. It only took him five minutes to fix them and I was on my way. The burgers are huge. I'm guessing the patties are half pounders. Adding the grilled onions really made them taste great. Service was great throughout. He does other food items not on the menu like what he calls "corn ribs" which is corn cut off the cob still together fried with seasonings. The customer behind me asked for it but he said it was more of a winter item.
