We waited about 15 minutes and finally someone came to take our order. I ordered the chicken saj and my hubby ordered the chicken over rice. It took another 20 minutes until it was done. We went inside the building next door to eat. Everything was hot and fresh. Yes..littlerly, spicy hot. Whew..I should have ordered some water. The spices tasted amazing. Besides the long wait...Everything tasted amazing.

Everything is delicious, and the lamb is far better than some of the other places here in town. Please go here, this places needs to be here or in a brick and mortar for a long period of time.

The Iraqi sandwich is always amazing, my husband gets the lamb one every time. But everything I've tried there is so good

JT's catered my daughters wedding a year ago and at first I thought, a food truck for your wedding?…read moreBut it was her wedding. As it turned out it was a fantastic idea. Food was really very good, and the staff was so awesome! So when we were in Salem over the weekend and we had tossed JT's around a couple of times we were pulling into a local brew pub and BINGO! There was the big blue truck! Got to see and visit with the owners (and mom, Hi MOM!) which was great. They are always so nice and it was really nice to talk to them again. And we did order some snackage. Got some of the the egg rolls, but not your typical egg rolls and some Korean BBQ tacos (I think). I wasn't hungry but ate mine and my wife's share. Good, good, good!

While La Carreta de Mi Tierra (#1) has been quietly blowing up the taco street scene in Salem, just…read moreacross the street lies Los Pinos, an older, more traditional taco truck where tastiness and authenticity go hand in hand. Some would say this is the best street taco experience in the city, which is hard to argue, especially when the tacos are this good. Their tacos are around $1.50-$2.00 each, which beat the competition in terms of pricing but I trust this price will catapult in a very short time. Their version of carnitas are stewed and fried to perfection and their lengua / al pastor is fantastic. When available, their fish tacos are worth every dime, though they are a $1 more. It's not all tacos, they also serve a decent variety of burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. They're very good about stuffing every morsel of food into the tortilla / bread, which is abundant in its own right. Do not forget to use as much of their condiments to really enhance the flavor. Thankfully, it's never too busy here and the staff is super friendly. The last time I checked they were still cash only and parking is extremely limited. They've done well to attract a lot of local clientele, many of whom visit the truck during the late hours into the evening. There is some seating with these makeshift tables, but I prefer to take my food to go. When it comes to Los Pinos and their wonderful variety of street inspired food, everyone wins. _________________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-carreta-de-mi-tierra-salem

After all the previous good reviews I had to try Los Pinos today. My bf ordered four tacos (two…read morechicken and two tacos de lengua). The guy who took our order and put everything together was really nice and patiently listened to how we wanted the tacos and burritos - no beans, etc. First bite was close your eyes good. There is some kind of salsa poured over the tacos that made their deliciousness more delicious. Lots of cilantro and onion and almost like a gravy. Then there was the burrito. Oh man it was so good! We tore it apart in greed and burrito lust and panted in shame afterwards. But not so much shame that we didn't plot to return next week.

Rude attendant - got a 20% tip upfront for doing basically nothing and not even a simple thank you…read more They serve you on a whim either bone-in or boneless chicken if you order chicken adobo. I liked the boneless. When you get bone-in - it's tiny bony pieces and they don't even provide knives, I had to get one from another food truck. Got the pork adobo for the first time today because at 2 pm he was already "out of chicken" - and man oh man was that gross! Tasted greasy and of left-overs like another reviewer stated. The guy at the truck obviously doesn't want to be there and it shows. Also, the food is overpriced - it was a better deal when they first started at the BeeHive. Hate to give such a bad review but when consistency is so off and last 2 times were just very bad - I just can't eat there anymore. Recommend you try another food truck at The Yard.

Big Blue Thai BBQ is everything that I could ever want from Thai food. Our main dish was the Grilled Pork and Papaya Salad combo and it was absolutely addicting. The beautiful smoke on the pork from the charcoal grill complemented perfectly with the spicy, tangy papaya salad adding so much freshness to the dish. While the food was amazing, the real star of the show were the lovely people that operate the truck. They were both so genuinely friendly and welcoming and made our experience exponentially better. We only wish that we had found this place sooner.

The BBQ is exactly what you want: flavorful, hearty, and clearly made with care. But the real standout is their Friday Seafood Fest.

Whether you're stopping in for comfort food, live music, or a laid‑back night out, this spot consistently delivers great food and a great atmosphere. A solid local favorite.
