    We hired this BBQ food truck to cater my dad's birthday party, and it absolutely exceeded…read moreexpectations. From the planning process to the event itself, La was wonderful to work with--responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. The food was incredible. The brisket was worth every single penny and was hands-down the star of the show. We had a crowd of serious BBQ fans, with about 90% of our guests originally from Kansas City, and even the biggest BBQ snobs couldn't stop talking about how good it was. More than one person commented that it was some of the best BBQ they've had in Arizona. The portions were generous, everything was served perfectly, and the food truck setup made the event feel fun and effortless. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any event. Thank you, La, for helping make my dad's birthday such a memorable celebration!

    Lao and BBQ? After trying it last night I can tell you it works! We were finally able to try them…read moreduring their stop near PV mall at an apartment complex. The BBQ was top notch and I think the ribs were the best followed by the pork belly. The chicken was done very well but it's hard to beat the pork. The jeow som was a perfect compliment to the bbq and the sticky rice. The smoked brisket pho was also a hit. We only missed out on the papaya salad which would've been a nice way to cut the richness of the meats, we'll try that next time. They are honing their craft and clearly know what they are doing. I'd be excited for a restaurant some day to try even more of the Lao offerings.

Always looking for…read moreand appreciative of good barbecue, I decided to stop in for lunch to sample what they had. I was greeted by the owner who was very nice and let me know all the specials they had for the day. I ordered a pulled pork one meat special that came with two sides. I chose the Mac and cheese, and the BBQ beans. The price was very reasonable for the portions I got. Within about 10 minutes of being there, a line was starting to build made up of people showing up on foot and even a letter carrier taking in lunch. Currently they sit in the parking lot of a barber shop but the owner told me she will have her own building within a year. I looked into the back of the food truck and saw a giant offset smoker billowing away while the smoke coming out the top lured anyone with any tastebuds for BBQ to the area. It turns out I was the owners first customer for the day and as such, she told me I get a free "brown bag lunch" which is a protein that comes with one side and a back of chips. I wanted to sample some more of the food so I ordered a brisket sandwich and green beans for my sides. (I do want to say this review has nothing to do with the free food they gave me. It is a 100% honest review). Since they don't have a building yet I did not see any tables but I did overhear the owner ask a gentleman if he was going to wait in the barber shop, so I don't know if there is any place in there to sit and eat. Let's talk about the food. The portions are very generous. If you are going to make your customers happy and you are proud of your food, let them have some. I got plenty of food with just my first order. The pulled pork was extremely delicious. It had a wonderfully smoked flavor without even putting any of the sauce on it. It really could have stood alone. It was also moist and the fat was rendered perfectly. There were no chunks of fat, just pure pulled pork goodness. I added their sauce just to try it and it made the sandwich even better. Everything I said about the pulled pork was true for the brisket as well. They really have mastered the art of getting the smoke flavor into the meat. My sandwich was more of a pulled brisket style and I did not ask if there was any sliced brisket for sandwiches, so I don't know. The Mac and cheese was exactly like the comfort food you would want. It was a good consistency and not dry and not runny. The BBQ beans has such a nice tang to them, I almost could have thrown the meat in there and just ate that as a meal. Clearly they are homemade and made with love. There isn't a lot you can do to green beans, but they were also pretty tasty. There were chucks of some kind of root vegetable mixed in them. Let me give my bottom line: the truck sits between 24th St and 16th St on the north side of Broadway. You really need to try this BBQ before it takes off and becomes so popular that you have to wait over an hour to get any. I can tell the owner is pouring herself into this business and deserves to be rewarded for making REAL, non commercial, delicious food. These are the people we want to succeed so go out and support this business. It's all about the food and this one knocks it out of the park!
