Grilled steak and gravy fries
Andy W.

Awesome truck setup behind Play, went during the day but with all the lights I think an evening trip in the summer spring or fall would be amazing. The brothers working there were super nice and the food was great!

Harvest bowl with mushrooms
Allison P.

Harvest bowl was to die for. Added marinated mushrooms. Gluten free and was AMAZING!!! The gentleman at the food truck was so genuine, nice and kind. We will be back!! We live 1.5 hours away but will return!!!!! Check them out!!!!

Steak Sandwhich
Evelina N.

Omg this place is so amazing. Get the Steak sandwich and the plantains. The people running the food cart are so nice and the food came out super fast, great service! The patio area is really cute. Delicious food!

Bistec Encebollado
Simon F.

This Peruvian food cart has to be one of the best in the Eugene and Springfield area. Their food is plated beautifully, and their flavors absolutely pop. Highly recommended this place if you're in the area. I got the Bistec Encebollado and the fried Brussel sprouts, they were to die for! The slow cooked meat in the Bistec falls apart in your mouth and the stew is flavorful and rich. The Brussel sprouts are both sweet and spicy, topped with goat cheese and a must have. Also don't forget to try their aji verde!!

Brussels sprouts and chicken skewer

I didn't mind waiting a little bit for this sandwich, because it was so delicious. Ambiance of…read moremusic in the background was interesting, and the decor was really nice. The service was a little bit slower, but it was worth it. I have been wanting to try out the sandwich for quite some time. If you love pork sandwiches, or if you love ham sandwiches, then you will love this sandwich. It's porky, hammy, cheesy, pickle-y.... it's just plain yummy. I'm gonna have to come back sometime to try out some of the other things on the menu!

I came in here today with my husband. We've both walked by this place many times and never realized…read moreit's there. Which kind of annoys me now. Lol. But I'm so glad we found it. When we walked in there was a man and woman working. They appeared to be husband and wife, and I would presume the owners of the restaurant. They immediately greeted us and handed us menus. I ordered Andy's Cuban Original, and my husband ordered the La Medianoche, and two drinks. After ordering, there was a spare menu on the table, so we took the time to actively read the entire thing while we waited. My husband and I both found more we wanted to come back and try later. Once we ordered our food, I'm presuming Andy, as the menu names him, asked that if we had any issues with our food to let him know so he had the opportunity to make it right. Which when something isn't perfect, every business owner says, you should have said something. But they don't always seem approachable. But Andy was, and that tells me he loves and cares about his restaurant and customers leaving happy. Which I respect so much. Our food arrives and we dig in. I'm no expert on the authenticity of Cuban food, I'll be the first to admit. But it tasted amazing. The pork was flavorful and fall apart tender. My husband and I both agreed on the bread being what really made it. That pressing creates the crust and texture, which is absolutely necessary, and made me want to keep eating. The potato sticks took me back to my childhood, so that was a fun nostalgic moment. While we were eating, Andy brought out a sauce to dip our sandwiches in. I can't remember what it's called, but it was heavy on the lemon juice and garlic, which paired really well with the pork in our sandwiches. This also added to the crave-ability factor, and I loved that. This restaurant is small, but very comfortable, very clean, and has a fun and vibrant atmosphere. It was a relaxing and delicious lunch. Prices were good too. I didn't have any leftovers, as my husband finished my sandwich, but we were both full when we left. Would I return? Yes! Definitely, yes. I love that I found an amazing small local business with delicious food and good prices to get an excellent lunch that will fill me up and keep me going all day, served in a warm and welcoming environment by people who care about their restaurant and customers. That isn't as easy to find as it once was. Review 31 of 2025.

Excellent! As a Puerto Rican living in Eugene, it's awesome to see more Latin food popping up. This…read moreis essentially the equivalent of what is known as a "soda" in Costa Rica: a no-fuss establishment that serves comforting Costa Rican and Caribbean staples (the sweet gospel of rice, beans, and plantains). I ordered the chicken and salsa ($8.50) and the patacones ($5). The former came with the titular chicken breast stewed in a tomato based sauce, gallo pinto (the Costa Rican take on rice and beans), maduros (fried sweet plantains), and a fresh cabbage salad. For the uninitiated, patacones (or tostones, as they are called in the Caribbean) are twice-fried green plantains, which are starchy and savory. Think of them as the Latin variant of a french fry. Another great addition is the Salsa Lizano. This is a traditional sauce drizzled over many foods in Costa Rica that sort of resembles a sweeter, more herbaceous Worcestershire sauce. I'm glad I finally got to try it! The food itself was delicious! The chicken was incredibly tender, and the tomato based sauce was surprisingly deep and flavorful. This perfectly accompanied the gallo pinto, where both rice and beans were cooked perfectly with the familiar inclusions of peppers, onion, and spices. Both of these were made even better with a generous drizzle of the Lizano sauce. The salad was a nice counterpoint both texturally and also in terms of the more raw, vegetal flavors. It reminded me of the typical sort if slaw that you would get if you were eating pupusas. One thing that really stood out for me though were the plantains (both the sweet maduros and the starchy patacones). For whatever reason, I haven't had the best luck getting good versions of either of these plantain dishes in Oregon at restaurants that offer them. The plantains for maduros need to be RIPE. For patacones, they need to be super green, and when they're fried the second time, they need to be thick enough to not completely dry out (you're not supposed to be making plantain chips). The plantains at Whapping though, were PERFECT, and should serve as a reference as to how you;re supposed to make these dishes. The patacones were even served with refried black beans and cotija cheese, which I had never seen done before. Now though, I retroactively regret not having eaten the countless patacones of my past without this! I'm so glad that Whapping has opened up here in Eugene. As a Latin/Caribbean food aficionado, this place is very welcome, so be sure to check it out. ¡Pura Vida!

I commend this dude for opening up a Caribbean/Costa Rican themed food cart in the Eugene area…read more But man, I really felt like his flavors were lacking big time. Facets of his food were OK, but as a whole, I was pretty disappointed. I wanted more assertive flavors!! The cabbage salad item was a bland, under seasoned (even if it's authentic), and a dry mess (it didn't help that the actual cabbage was tasteless to begin with. Just leave it off. The red beans and rice were solid. Fine. The chicken was boneless/skinless sadness drowned (boiled) in a generic tasting curry-ish sauce. Give me some flavor on the bone, please. Super gentrified and super pandering to a white-bread boring palate. I wanted more!
