I was starving after being caught in traffic so stopped to get a meal from this food truck. I ordered the chicken tenders and the passion fruit juice because I figured it was easiest to eat on the go.
Or at least I tried to order it. I went up to the menu, looked it over, then made direct eye contact with the guy taking orders at the truck's side window. He looked away and just kept looking around like he needed to take care of business first. I thought "maybe this isn't the guy taking orders? Maybe he has to give someone else their food first." He then looked back to me and I said "Hi!" He nodded and kept looking around as if to say "Where can the customers possibly be??" I thought maybe I'd messed up protocol and ordering was online or something so I asked "Um... can I order here?" He told me I could. So I told him I wanted chicken fingers and a passion fruit juice. He told me to slow down. "Chicken fingers? Anything else?" "Yes. Passion fruit juice, please." I made my overpriced transaction without question because I was starving.
I waited what seemed like a while. My blood sugar was low and I was hangry so I don't actually know how long it was but it took a while. The man who took my order continued to look back and forth past me as if he was searching for someone. The one other person in the truck was supposedly preparing my order and the one order before me. At first I thought the two people before me had ordered for a group because it seemed to be taking so long. But no; they got the one bag I ended up getting. I guess my food wasn't ready to go and they had to deep fry/heat up the fries but that doesn't explain why the one person preparing the good went to their macaroni station 4 times for 2 orders that each had one helping of macaroni.
Finally, after an eternity in Hanger Years, I got my food.
The chicken fingers were bland. Maybe this was my fault for getting the one "non-ethnic" thing on the menu but I was thinking portability; not flavor. But there was no sauce or anything to help them out besides some ketchup. The fries were absolutely AWFUL. They were about 20% potato and 80% old greasy oil. Even in my starved state I couldn't eat them. As you can see in the photo here you also get some iceburg lettuce, sliced onions and a tomato. I have no idea why. These were not only far from fresh but served no purpose. They'd be fine on a sandwich but if they were supposed to be a side salad then the ketchup wasn't going to make them appetizing.
The macaroni salad wasn't to my liking. It honestly might have been very good Haitain macaroni salad but it was very heavy on mayo and I only had two small bites before giving up.
The passion fruit juice was AMAZING. Definitely worth the 4 dollars. If I had just gotten a passion fruit smoothie I think I'd been recommending this food truck to everyone and warning them about the bad service. read more
