I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.

We…read moreordered the tri-tip, chicken, brisket, beans, salad, and mac & cheese, and every single person at the party was complimenting the food. We had a total of 30 people. Everything was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. The tri-tip and brisket were especially a crowd favorite, and the mac & cheese disappeared fast. They also gave us more than enough food -- everyone was able to eat well and there were still leftovers, which is rare when you're feeding a big group. If you're looking for BBQ catering that people will actually rave about, Chilly Willy's is a fantastic choice. We'll absolutely use them again for future events.

It was well worth it as all my senses were engaged: The smoky smell! The other customers raving about the food! The colorful food truck!

They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time. They also packed up the leftovers before they left so that latecomers could still eat. My only critique was that the elotes didn't look like the pic on Yelp. But everything was delicious, and people were going back for more!

We hired Talavera Tacos for our baby shower this past weekend based on glowing recommendations from…read morefriends and family. While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.

We were able to order and get our food pretty quickly which is always nice. I always get the bulgogi bun because their meat is soft & flavorful (wish I could make this at home). My husband messed up and got himself a katsu bun. Not because it wasn't amazing, he enjoyed the crispy chicken and tasty flavors, but because he was jealous of my bulgogi bun! I mean who wouldn't be; once you've tried bulgogi, it's hard to have anything else. All their buns come with the pickled cucumbers and ginger which makes a nice fresh addition to the tops of the already warm and fresh buns. If you are wanting to try their food I definitely recommend the bulgogi buns!

I've mentioned this statement in previous reviews: if you are going to be a food truck that…read morespecializes in an American classic such as burgers, hot dogs, Mac and cheese, or in this case, Philly cheesesteaks, you really need to blow me away and especially if you are going to charge an arm and a leg (more on that detail in a minute) I came across this place at the electric Caltrain launch party in Palo Alto. I have actually seen this food truck before but never had the opportunity to order from here so I thought today would be a good day. It seems like their claim to fame is that they use halal meat. I ordered the loaded P and a side of fries. I was pretty underwhelmed with the overall meal. The roll looked like it was bought from a general store and the cheese looked like nacho cheese you get in a can. I will give them credit that the fries tasted fresh but again, I was overall underwhelmed with the whole meal. Truthfully I would have considered giving this place four stars but the total cost of this meal came out to more than $30, which is a bit crazy. I understand we are going through an inflation period but a cheesesteak and fries costing that much is insane. Had the meal blown me away, I would have understood the high price. There may not be many cheesesteak shops in the Bay Area but there are enough where I can compare the quality and price of those shops to this truck. The quality of the sandwiches is definitely similar but the other places are way cheaper. Like I mentioned earlier, if you are going to be a truck that specializes in an American classic and are going to charge a hefty price, then be prepared to impress me. Unfortunately this truck did not pass that bar.

I usually order the Maine roll but wanted something different. For $26 the roll is itty bitty. It was delicious, tasted fresh, but wish there was a bit more to satisfy my lobster craving!

Cons: *The lobster tacos had absolutely no taste and a very small amount of lobster, and they were just incredibly disappointing. I understand that the tacos may not be their signature dish,but how do you manage to make bland tacos? They definitely require sauce options or other elements to add some depth of flavor. That being said, they were also seriously overpriced. *I was overcharged by at least $6-8 and I'm not entirely sure it was accidental. I paid with cash and was not given a receipt so I had no way to prove it . * Price for the bowl of chowder compared to the cup doesn't really make sense. The bowl is only 2 ounces larger but you pay significantly more. *The gentleman helping me did not bothering telling me that a cup of soup would only be $6 when ordered with an entree. I get it, that's my fault. But kind customer service is something I value and had he mentioned this, I would have been grateful. In the end, I paid/overpaid $36 plus tip for a 10 ounce "bowl" of chowder and three bland, thoroughly unexciting tacos. Disappointing. But I'll probably still be back for the gluten free chowder.

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!
