Salsa verde
Satoko I.

Finally had a chance to try their food. It is hard to find and like other reviewers say, there's no table. They are just kinda parking on the side of street. I tried tacos with braised pork (carnitas) their meat portion is generous and onion gives good flavor. But what I loved the most was their green sauce! So creamy and perfectly spicy!! It's just something different than other places. Next time is they have beef cheek and I like it, they will be my favorite taco track for sure. Can't wait.

Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
Marvin C.

I literally just went there and got a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was fire! We all know rice and beans make up most of the burritos but not this one it was about 3/4 meat and 1/3 eggs and rice and cheese just like I like it. Burrito and bottled coke came to $13 bux .. pretty average nowadays.

Just had an unusually good quesadilla here with chicken, avocado, sour cream and probably more in it. Will come back for it!

Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn't just a food joint but it's an experience!…read more Vegetarian reviewer: To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well. We ordered two dishes- Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won't be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis. They have another version of this- "kachu" with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option! Volcano egg biryani- The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it. The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it! They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free. Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Superb vibes, never disappoints! Conveniently located in Sunnyvale - easy to find parking. Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.

I was craving a burrito after running some errands with the wifey. So we (ok maybe I unilaterally)…read moredecided to hit up this food truck I've seen around. They had other choices on the menu, but my kind was already set on a burrito. I went with the pastor (marinated pork) and the wifey went with carne asada (beef). A few minutes later, we had the burritos in hand. Also got 3 small containers of various salsa: red, green and a creamy orange. The last was my favorite. We split half-half, so both of us got to try both meats. The pastor was hands down the winner for me. It was soooo flavorful. Didn't really even need the salsa but adding a bit gave it another layer of flavor. I also happened to have some avocados and put a few slices in my burrito, which elevated it to another level if I do say so myself They accept cash or card but cash is a bit cheaper. I'm sure we'll be back again and again.

I finally found one. I finally found a burrito I can get on the weekly that opens before 8am. Great…read moreunder $20 meal options. Just go try, worth the trip. Cash is king. They take card, but there's an up-charge for it. The order: Super Burrito (asada) $12: I'm not playing on the price, check the photos. Delicious burrito that was a nice size and excellent price point. The tortilla tasted so nicely toasted and had a crisp at the edges. Along with your choice of meat, the burrito has Spanish rice, avocado, onions, salsa, beans. What else do you need? The length was almost my entire forearm, might have been actually. I was also given two sauces: a cilantro green sauce and (chipotle maybe) a red sauce. I did not receive the orange sauce mentioned in other reviews. Remember to request what you'd like. The second time I went, they gave me red sauce and orange sauce. Minus 1 star because of slightly inconsistent quality. When I went the second time, the fillings were still great, but ratio was different than the first time. It made the burrito taste different, no crispiness. Still good, but seemed more like a mid burrito I wouldn't have been raving about. BUT I did go right before closing compared to right after opening, which I can understand could make a difference.

Based on the dishes we tried, I don't think I'd recommend this place. My friends and I shared the…read moredahi batata puri, chinese bhel, and ragda pattice. The best of the bunch was the dahi batata puri, but it still didn't quite hit the spot. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I felt like the dahi/yogurt wasn't as creamy as I prefer. The chinese bhel was okay, but didn't have much flavor. Lastly the ragda pattice had so much potential. The flavor was there, but it was insanely spicy- even as someone with a med/high spice tolerance. You could feel the burn traveling down to your stomach. All of us found it unbearable and worse of all felt the affects for a day after. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes but after the all the discomfort of the meal- I don't feel inclined to return.

I'm not one to write negative reviews often, but this experience at Maya Kitchen Food Truck in…read moreSunnyvale-Cupertino Border warrants it. Yesterday, I ordered a Vada Pav, Shalimar Egg Mughlai (on their recommendation from their list of egg dishes), and a Veg Frankie -- and honestly, none of it lived up to the hype(5 stars currently) or price point. Vada Pav: It was okay. The "mirchi" served alongside was literally a raw Thai green chili. Really? At least pan-fry it with some salt and oil to enhance the flavor. For over $10 with taxes, this was already pricier than better Vada Pavs you can get at places like Elco Drive, and yet it offered nothing exceptional. Frankie: This one made me genuinely angry. It was a soggy maida roll stuffed with the same aloo masala from the Vada Pav, plus a few sad shreds of cabbage. That's it. And they had the audacity to charge $12 for it. ($1.50 for cheese, lol I am glad we didn't add)This isn't a Frankie -- it's a lazy repackaged Vada Pav with no flavor or creativity. They threw in some pickled jalapeños on the side, which only added confusion. If you're running a fusion menu(well partially), at least mention it upfront instead of misleading customers. Egg Shalimar Mughlai: At $13, it was passable but still not impressive. The bun on the side was not toasted or anything. Better than the Frankie, but nothing I'd recommend or return for. I was so excited for trying this place but, overall, this place is overpriced, underwhelming, and frankly disappointing. If your Vada Pav and Frankie are practically identical, maybe inform customers before they order both. I wouldn't recommend Maya Kitchen -- save your time, appetite and money and go somewhere else. Thank me later.

If you're looking for something warm and soulful while boosting your immune system: Kadhi Kachori! A specialty at Chatpata India, Kadhi Kachori ($11.99) is North Indian Street Food of curry with a fried fritter: https://tinyurl.com/te656uwn The turmeric-rich, yogurt-based curry is served piping hot with a large lentil fritter sliced into triangular pieces. A fantastic balance of bold tangy flavors and crispy-soft textures with the raw diced onions giving a sweet sharpness. My only gripe is I requested it to be spicy but it was more mild-medium spicy. Maybe they thought we couldn't handle the heat so requesting desi spicy next time. Equally delicious is their Dahi Sev Puri w/ potatoes, tamarind + mint cilantro chutney, yogurt, sev (8 pc - $7.99): https://tinyurl.com/2rvnu4k3 The crunchy shell (semolina-based) is filled with spiced potatoes, topped with myriad of sauces, crunchy sev (fried chickpea noodles), and something tart...reminiscent of pomegranate seeds. Great contrasting textures and punchy flavors from the chutneys. Overall, Kadhi Kachori is not the easiest thing to find so Chatpata India is def worth a visit you're in the area! O T H E R I N F O * Chatpata India is food truck serving an array of vegetarian Indian food: chaats, curries, hot entrees (chana bhatura, poori chana, etc), naan, and rice. * Spice levels can be customized. * Takeout, delivery, and outdoor seating available (4 tables under a canopy). * Friendly owner and staff with prompt food service. * Plenty of parking in the plaza.

But luckily we got a table in 5 mins. The menu was almost the same as the truck but they have other items and cocktails as well. We stuck to familiar items. Roomali roti: very authentic but insanely expensive at $6 for two small rotis! Mutton seekh kabab: the absolute best in the bay area and spiciest but ridiculously expensive at $18. Steep increase from $11 (food truck) to $18. I get it that a sit-in place will be more expensive than truck but this is a huge jump for ground meat kabab. Lamb chops for example would be ok at this price point not ground meat kababs. Chicken Egg Roll and Paneer Egg roll: both were delicious but expensive. Kids loved them. Overall, I love the food but it is too expensive for the quantity. It is high time the owners either reduce prices or increase quantity of the portions.

First off, parking was free and they have an open lot. We were surprised by the ambiance. It felt like a cute dhaba vibe with tables, chairs and string lights. We got dahi puri, sev puri, vada pav, poha. The chaats came out first. Both of them were delicious. The spice level was pretty high so if you can't handle spice, something to communicate to them while placing the order. The vada pav was fresh and tasty. It came with tamarind and green chutney. We liked the chaats so much that we also got the samosa chaat. The portion size was good and it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we got poha. It tasted authentic and the poha was soft and seasoned well. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend checking out this food truck. You won't be disappointed!

The consistency across such a varied menu really says something about how well-run this truck is. If you're craving real Mumbai street food in the South Bay, stop scrolling and just go. I'll be back again soon to keep working through the rest of the menu!
