Dining area and Food Truck

Authentic tacos with flavors that tasted like something I had only dreamed of. The atmosphere was welcoming, with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the food. Service was quick, and the staff was excellent. At just $2 a taco, the value is hard to beat! I'd rate it 4 out of 5 overall--personally preferred the chicken over the pork. A solid choice, especially for a food truck!

This is absolutely horrible I've never in life had a quesadilla that looked like this and not cooked all the way

My Quesadilla was not cooked all the way and horrible . The lady also grilled some of my onions on my tacos and not all of themes

3 for $3.75

Disappointing experience after hearing rave reviews. Tried 3 tacos. The chorizo was greasy and flavorless. The steak (asada) taco was dried out meat. The pork taco was decent but all 3 tortillas were soggy. Was given 2 juice-free (yes juiceless) lime slices for all 3 tacos. The green sauce was way too spicy to be edible, even by the drop. They had cilantro but I couldn't even taste it. They didn't have drinks, advised me to go into the liquor store next door. (Why would I want to 2-stop shop?) Woman spoke through thick plastic window was hard to communicate with and food passed out the top of the window. The picnic tables were clean,the prices were great (cash only) but flavor was not there, staffing was not friendly and I don't see a need to return. At least not for tacos. They won't miss my business they had plenty stopping in to eat.

Simple menu

Not to bad definitely better then I expected. I'll try them out again. Had the tamale and it was good also tried the carne asada tacos pretty good.

Jimmy's Famous Seafood Express - Crabby chicken sandwich

My kid's school was having a fair complete with food truck "rally" (does it count as a rally if…read morethere are only 4 food trucks?). There were massive lines for the other 3 trucks, so we ended up at Jimmy's. I ordered two orders of the fried shrimp. My order was done in less than 10 minutes, which was pretty good for a food truck. The fried shrimp is 6 pieces, and it's $12. For $2 more, you get a generous side of fries. The shrimp was huge and sweet. The french fries were thick and well fried, although they were overly salty. You are offered tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. I asked for just ketchup and received nothing. This is a pretty efficient food truck, and I think the prices are reasonable. The shrimp was good, although the fries were salt bombs. The rest of the menu is very crab-heavy (most items are topped with crab), which might or might not appeal to you (it didn't for my family).

Great crab cake burger!…read more I found this food truck when I had an event at Brew Hub. Since I was going to be there for three hours, I figured I needed to nourish myself with a bit of grub first. I'm glad this was the truck that was there because it was definitely satisfying! I got the crab cake burger and it was delicious. There was a good amount of crab in it and the bun was very sturdy. I added fries on for an additional dollar. The fries were solid, but I find my true test for fries it whether I would eat them without any dipping sauce. It didn't have enough seasoning or flavor so I ended up needing ketchup. They were crispy and nicely fried though. I was surprised that adding fries was only a dollar. That's a pretty awesome deal. The workers were super friendly. Since it was hot outside I placed my order and came back five minutes later to grab the food. I would definitely eat at this food truck again!

World Food Trucks was kinda like going to a mini food truck fair. It's a little gimmicky, but…read morehonestly, it 's still fun to check out. I started w/ a lemonade from Pretzland. I was a little bummed about this 1 b/c the guy told me it was made w/ 100% juice, but it def didn't taste like fresh-squeezed juice. I watched him just squeeze some lemon into it, so I knew something wasn't adding up. The deal was 2 juices for $13.99, which isn't terrible, but I expected what I was told I was getting. It was a cute drink though topped w/ gummies worms & Nerds cluster candy. Then came the WINNER:the food from Yukaza Sushi Truck! I got the sushi burrito made my way w/ all the fixits & the pop-up California roll sushi, and OMG... that sushi burrito was HUGE! Both were sooooo good & super fresh! I was beyond happy w/ my choice & felt like it was well worth it! I think it's worth going @ least once just to walk around, check out the different trucks,& see what catches your eye. I'll be back though b/c I'm a sucka for food!

Lots of seating between the food trucks. Plenty of shaded tables for sitting. $5 parking right…read morebehind or free across the street with a small walk. Surely, you can find something that you'll like here as there's plenty of variety. Don't recommend for the middle of the summer when is scorching hot, as there's no A/C or indoor seating available.
