Veggie and chipotle chicken tacos with chips and queso
Al C.

Not blow your socks off tacos, but definitely pretty decent. I tried the chipotle chicken and the veggie tacos. I wasn't a huge fan of the veggie one because the veggies were soggy and could use more flavor. The chipotle chicken was really good! Tender pieces of chicken. Got a side of chips+queso - again, not super memorable or anything but, I mean, chips and queso are always good. At least in my experience. The best part of the experience were the workers. Super friendly and they even brought out chicken for me and my friend's dogs along with our food.

Chips and "queso" - awful
Helena W.

It was really hard to rate this food truck because there was some really good food and really bad food but all of it was executed very very poorly. I ordered 2 tacos - 1 Chipotle chicken and the other beef with all the toppings and a side of chips and queso. Let's get the awful out of the way: the chips and "queso". Idk what it is with Mexican food trucks using football game nacho cheese but it's gross. It was topped with shredded cheese and chips were carelessly thrown in to get soggy. Ugh not good especially not for the price. The tacos tasted great but we're sloppily put together - my Chipotle chicken had beef in it. The tortillas were so soggy that they immediately fell apart when I picked one up so I had to eat everything with a fork which is pretty bad for what's supposed to be street food. All in all, some great flavors and some really crappy ones but the execution was bad for both. I also had coworkers that ordered the special but didn't get the rice and beans side and one person ordered a quesadilla missing cheese so be sure to check your order!

Ten out of ten as always. Honest people and very nice. Always has something new. Worth the drive. (Every month or two I come down from NJ and I make sure I ALWAYS stop by.

Split a pastor burrito but it was so good, I could have eaten the whole thing. A great example of a really good taco truck. Can't wait to try more of their menu.

Chorizo taco. AMAZING!!!!!

The Best Chicken Burrito and nachos in Durham. The flavors were a Ratatouille style symphony in your mouth! Truly authentic and delicious.

This was my third time visiting Crofton's. Every time I go I like to try the new monthly special…read more This month was pot pie and it did not disappoint. The pretzel was soft and warm as always and the filling was perfect. I have tried the mac & cheese, pepperoni, buffalo chicken, crab Rangoon, crab dip, and the Nutella. The pot pie and the Nutella are by far my favorite. If you have not checked this place out you have to do so. Everything is made to order and comes out fresh and hot. The pretzel is always soft and the filling is delicious. Only slight complaint was the cinnamon sugar pretzel. The pretzels by the counter are made earlier and sit out for a while. It was just a little hard and cold. If it was fresh or warmed up it would have been better. Still great but if you're going to eat in shop ask them to heat them up

We ended up finding parallel parking on a side street. Walking in you'll feel like you've been transported to a local, laid back, and casual pretzel shop. There are fun things pretzel themed art pieces throughout the shop. To order you'll walk up to the register and place your order. The pretzels are made to order and your name will be called out once your order is ready. Once you order there are a few tables inside and outside. Once a table opens up I recommend grabbing it as there isn't much seating. For pretzels we ordered a cinnamon pretzel with icing on the side and the cheese & pepperoni pretzel. The cinnamon pretzel was good but I think the salt would have been more enjoyable. For the cheese & pepperoni this pretzel was awesome and we couldn't stop eating it. Definitely check out Crofton's Pretzels if you are looking for a fresh pretzels in the Raleigh area.

The owners are very friendly and make sure you are satisfied with their offerings! The ambience is "the food", due to it being a food truck! I check their schedule for local locations and make it my business to drop in to please my palate! If you are looking for a tasty vegan meal, find their truck and drop in! Tell them Reggie sent you!

Food: 4 Service: 3…read moreAmbiance: 3 Date/Time: 9/28/2025 12:30pm Crowd: full bar, 1/4 full dining room Order: Turkey BLT, Philly sandwich This place is located just behind the gas station on the corner of Lynn and Creedmoor in a little strip mall. The business used to be a food truck only and they moved into this location and used the relatively small place to turn into a sports bar, keeping the "kitchen" parked outside in the food truck since the suite is an end unit. If you're a big sports fan, this place is probably perfect for you. It is set up with the bar to the far left as you enter, with a divider in the middle and then the dining area on the right of the divider....and TVs everywhere you look with signs indicating which game of interest each is tuned to. And, like most sports bars, the noise is set to loud. From the dining area, you can exit out the side to the mostly covered outdoor dining area which is where the food truck is parked, and where you go to place your order (not give it to your server who only brings your drinks) and pay for it. Also where all your condiments and napkins are located. For those of you who are not sports fans, all is not lost as the food is pretty good. Granted it's sports bar oriented but it's really pretty tasty. The turkey BLT is between large slices of toasted and buttered bread with a slightly light serving of turkey. The Philly is on a small hoagie and has some kick to it with all the jalapeños. Standard sandwich orders come with chips but fries are available for an upcharge. Service is, well, again it's a basic sports bar so don't expect sit down restaurant service but the folks are mostly friendly. Bottom line is if you love to sit at a bar, or eat grill food, and watch your favorite team on tv with friends, this place should satisfy you. For those who just want some good grill food, order out or if it's a nice day, sit outside where it's not as noisy.

The ribs were slow-cooked and tender with flavor that went through the meat to the bone. The sweet potato was caramelized and decadent like a dessert. The macaroni and cheese was very cheesy and definitely American (I am Caribbean so I have a different way of our macaroni and cheese). The fried chicken was crispy and crunchy (Remember all crunch will disappear if microwaved but it is still delicious). I will update once I taste the potato salad and collard greens. The cake they give you is a typical add-on so don't get annoyed if you get a sliver. You are so loaded up on carbs from the macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, breading on the chicken and the small Hawaiian roll that... your cholesterol will thank you for not adding on a hunk of cake. That lemon cake was made correctly though even if it reminded me of a slice of Betty Crocker cake. :) The stars of these dishes are the food!

The meat really did taste as if it was refried or the grease was old. Definitely wasn't fresh. The macaroni and cheese was just noodles and cheese, no flavor. The yams were stringy. The turkey collards were the only thing I enjoyed. The "cake" was honestly a mini portion of a store bought pound cake. I felt totally ripped off when I could've dinned in elsewhere for a completely different experience for $30. The staff was very nonchalant when I introduced myself as a first time customer asking for suggestions. There aren't many designated soul food places in Raleigh and I feel like this is totally a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate because I drove almost 30 min each way just for them.

Wow. Just wow. I…read moredidn't intend to buy anything from the Humble Pig when I hit the food truck round-up at Perimeter Park yesterday. The friend I was with just wanted to take a peek at their menu so I walked over with her. She mentioned that she didn't like brisket and I briefly questioned our friendship. What kind of person doesn't like brisket? The guy at the window apparently agreed and offered her a sample. I tried it too and immediately ordered a plate of brisket to take home for dinner. This is the best brisket I have had since I've moved to NC. Possibly the best brisket that I've had ever if I'm telling the truth. I'm a huge brisket snob and this was so good it's got me still fantasizing about it. It was served with a side of coleslaw, which sort of tasted like cabbage with a bit of vinegar. I didn't love the coleslaw, but who cares about coleslaw when you have brisket like that? I'm going to be on the hunt to find that truck again. I need that brisket in my life.
