What a delicious and amazing food truck serving Miami! I was fortunate enough to be at Wynwood Brewing on Saturday when the Purple People Eater pulled in and pushed out their grub. I must say, it all goes incredibly well with some brewskis. Most of their food is standard types of bar food but with a unique spin elevating each item a bit. For example their $12 burger --- it ain't no McDonald's burger. It was cooked medium and done right, on a tasty bun with truffle flavor throughout, though not overpowering, goat cheese, a good amount of argula, mayo, red pepper and topped off with a quail egg. One of the best burgers I've had in awhile actually. Their tacos are $5 each or 3 for $12 coming stuffed with Mahi Mahi or Pork Carnitas. I liked both a lot and again each had unique ingredients in them - the Mahi Mahi had radish, pineapple-jalapeno salsa and ponzu for dipping. Way better than any fish taco I've had in awhile! The Pork Carnitas had avocado sauce, chayote slaw (apparently a green squash) and kimchee crema! Truly cool ingredients on both tacos that came together really well. Purple People Eatery may just be the best food truck I've ever had! It's not some flippantly thrown together deal but a well thought out, well executed menu comparable to any brick & mortar. I want morrrrrrrrrreeeeee! Drive that thang up to Chicago! read more

I LOVE purple!!!! Anyone who knows me can tell you that. So, imagine how excited I was when I saw my very first food truck and it's called Purple People Eatery. It's like it was made for me. :p With my purple phone in hand (had to take a picture of it), I walk to the window to place my order. The one thing that immediately called my attention was the Mac N Jack - herb crusted broccoli Mac n Cheese with Monterey Jack, Colby, Sharp Cheddar, and Smoked Gouda, for $5.00. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes, right size pieces of broccoli, not soggy, cheese was perfectly melted and evenly distributed on the tricolor macaronis, making a perfect bite. They even have some chairs outside their truck, with a bit of shade for you to enjoy your food. Maybe, by now, Miami sees food trucks as an everyday thing but, for this Boca girl, that had only seen them on TV or read reviews about them, this was the perfect food truck experience. read more

I'll admit it, the purple and the name drew me in. I'm a sucker for anything purple and creative. I got the Mac N Jack sans bacon. Since it had broccoli in it, it made me feel a bit better since this girl has not been eating her greens lately. I am not a huge fan of crumb crusted casseroles but the herbs mixed in made all the difference in the world. The smoked gouda made it all the more glorious. And it was only $5 and more than enough to split between two people! They have bison burgers on their menu and I will definitely be trying that the next time I see them! I'm a bit confused what their "hook" is but I will definitely go back to them in the future! read more

Holy Shyt! That was a damn good burger, a really freaking awesome burger, so good I want to get another another burger instead of a regular slice of cheese this burger came with Fried Provolone Cheese.... that's right, a genius move on their part and, I'm a genius for ordering it read more

Food was not bad. Took a while to prepare. But of course it was after a night out in Wynwood. We had the tenders with fries. Nothing too special. It was regular. Staff was friendly. read more

Purple People Eatery - Food truck - New American Near Me

As soon I laid my eyes on the flamboyant purple truck stationed in front of my apt, I chucked my half eaten panini and walked over hoping it was in fact a food truck. Overall I enjoyed the California Bison Burger with a few picky complaints. It came with glazed potato buns which were sweet and chewy. This combined with the sweetness and fruitiness of the pineapple did not mesh well with the saltiness of the feta cheese, it was a bit nauseating for me. The "meat" of the problem was that the buffalo was overcooked, dry, and unseasoned. In my opinion the earthiness of a whole wheat bun would have gone well with the lean buffalo meat sprinkled with a touch of fleur de sel, freshly cut avocados (instead of brown oxidized avocado spread), a touch of feta (instead of their overpowering mound), grilled local portobellos, and some standard organic leaf lettuce (instead of arugula). Overall I would return to this truck just mainly for the novelty of the bison meat. Just make sure to warn them not to overcook the burgers. read more

I've been really looking forward to eating at Purple People Eatery. Their truck really catches my attention and I love the fact that they have bison on their menu. I've been dieing to try them out and tonight I finally gave them a shot. I ordered the blackened bison burger, specifically the black and blue. I was not too impressed by it... It had bacon and blue cheese which worked well and gave the burger most of its flavor.Overall the burger itself I would rate as a 3 out of 5. The burger wasn't horrible... but i know I wouldn't order it again. The reason why I am giving Purple People Eatery a 2 is because of such a high price for such a small portion. $6-8 would be an appropriate price for that large slider. $10 for a burger patty that size is an overkill, definitely a bad value!! read more

Purple People Eatery - Black and blue bison burger - New American Near Me

People People Eatery is a refreshing change from the many unorginal food trucks specializing in grilled and/or bbq meat, burgers, tacos, or sweets - it's nice to see something different and unique, and even better that it's purple. With SO many trucks to choose from nowadays, over 20 at Art Walk, this one stands out. Besides being obsessed with this movie and song once upon a time, I loved my sandwich too, the Club Med: stuffed with hummus, avocado sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. It was perfectly healthy with its assortment of veggies and sauces, and of course, tasty AND vegetarian friendly - a rarity in the foodtruck world. Kudos to them! I'd love to try some of the sides next time too. read more

I attended Flamingo Gardens Food Truck event on August 5, 2016 with my firend who loves burgers as much as I do. We decided to be adventurous and try the Puple People Eatery's signature Black and Blue Bison Burger for $10. The service was just horrible! The woman taking orders would play around and figit inside the truck as if to stall so she didnt have to take orders. She only took one order at a time and wouldn't take another one until she figited ....eh em...stalled some more, and until an order came out. In other words one order in and everyone had to wait for an order to come out before she would take the next order. My friend went to two other food trucks to place orders and kept coming back to check on my burger. Those orders came quick because those food trucks were efficient. So after a long 35 minute wait, and sweating my entire body weight off in the heat, I received my burger. Oh by the way, there were only two simple orders ahead of me. I know because I saw them order and saw what they were when they came out. It shocked me that it took that long to make something so simple. Before my burger came out, I kept watching to see if the cook was possibly making my order and saw her take a small tube of what looked like mayonnaise, and thought...I hope thats not the blue cheese??? Sure enough, she was making my burger, and yes that was the blue cheese, (in a squeeze tube). Ok now for the burger review......it was a very small patty on a very small bun, with lots of fillings, to cover the fact that they gave you a slider sized patty. The meat had a little bit of a spicy flavor to it but the burger itself was overwhelmed by the sweet onion-ish relish that they put on. It was hard to tell if the other condiments that were supposed to come with it were even on it. As far as the "blue cheese" it sure did not taste like blue cheese. I opened the bun to see a gelatinous goo that possilby had a small lump in it. The burger itself had a decent flavor.... but such a small patty. By the way the other food we ordered was cold by the time I came back with this expensive disappointment. Here's a thought, they wouldn't make it in a real kitchen and would go out of business fast if they did, by using products that arent fresh or home made. What about making your own blue cheese to go on your signature burger. I make my own all the time and it is very easy and delicious. If they fake the blue cheese on their special menu item, what else are they faking? They have a very limited menu, so it isn't like they have to make a whole lot of sauces or ingredients Fresh to make their food items. I really feel that we should support the food trucks and I understand how difficult it is to make food in such a small kitchen, but if that is your livelihood, you make the absolute best product you can for the money. You make your own ingredients for things that you can make yourself. You give people a burger that had meat on it for $10! The star of the show should be the meat. You dont give people a slider and charge $10. Tried their food truck....wont do it again. BTW the event and music was great! Bring you own seating, tables and refreshments, (and yes you can bring alcohol). It is a good family time, with a lot of food choices and music. read more

I was stoked that we stumbled across this truck during our excursion to art walk, as I'd heard rumors about their fabulous veggie sandwich and was jonesing to try it! I wasn't disappointed. The sandwich was delicious, with a great combo of hummus, feta, tomatoes, olives, etc. Echoing what Rebecca said - it's hard to find good vegetarian options when it comes to food trucks, so this was a nice treat. I'd totally hit them up again, and even go out of my way to get my hands on this sammy again. Also desperately wanted to try the broccoli mac & cheese, but I know that'd be wayyyy too much. Next time! read more

Now understand the food truck craze. You will too if you try the jojo sweet potato fries and bison burger with BBQ sauce and blue cheese! Definitely scrumptious and reasonably priced. read more

I had so many similar thoughts to Michelle C., the first reviewer, it's crazy. Things like the attraction to this beautiful truck, it's name and that I joined them on their second night out as well! BTTR! I too was impressed by the unique selections and the reasonable prices. Wait time for me was average which I appreciate because it means they might be putting something together versus having things pre-made. The truck reads, "Proud supporters of the Slow Food Movement," so it should serve as a fresh, cheap alternative to fast food and I'm happy to say everything tasted fresh enough. May I recommend what I got - the Club Med. It's a veggie sandwich fit for a vegetarian and for anyone attending a food truck court not wanting to leave in a food coma or with a broken diet. Here are the deets - Vegetarian Stuffed Pita. Contains Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion, Kalamata Olives, Baby Arugula, Feta Cheese, Veggie Bacon, Hummus, and Avocado Sauce. Delicious and filling!! I also tried the MAC N JACK (Herb-Crusted Broccoli Mac n Cheese with Monterrey Jack, Colby, Sharp Cheddar, and Smoked Gouda) which was yummy, different, but nothing I'd necessarily pay the extra money for next time. I finished it off with a $1bottle of water which I loved the price of as well. I liked that the Chefs were on there cooking (for now). I got a wave from the native Miami Chef when I chatted with the lady working the register who turned out to be his mom. Awww, how cute. 305 represent! Make sure to check this truck out for sure. It seems like they're already socializing with the right truckers and will be out at the busy spots so you'll see them soon enough. read more

I ordered the Mac and Cheese and Truffle Cheese Fries and both were out of this world! If you're a cheese lover, you won't go wrong with these 2 items on their menu! Glad you were at the Miami Beer Festival this year! read more

Purple People Eatery has made two appearances in what little social life I do have so far, one at 2nd Saturday in Wynwood and the other at 1st Friday at Flamingo Gardens. I have a feeling this sexy food truck gets around. These guys got me addicted to their Street Potato Jojo's. I didn't even stand a chance. I proceeded to blab about them, google them, try to make them myself and utterly fail, dream about them.. I tend to latch onto things I really like so I doubt I'll do much more taste-testing on their menu. Miami Mahi was also fantastic and the fellow loved his truffle bison burger. They're thoughtful with their portion sizes. But man, those Street Potato Jojo's.... read more

My boyfriend had the bison burger. While it was delicious, it wasn't huge, a little smaller than the average restaurant burger. Cool that it is made from grass-fed Bison, though. Moving on, three of us shared the gouda & broccoli mac n cheese. What an absolute disappointment! It was so bland and had a very strange undertone and after taste. Honestly, it surely didn't taste like gouda to me. Either it was the cheapest, poorest quality or it wasn't gouda at all. It's pretty hard to screw up mac n cheese but they somehow managed to. i'd probably eat here again - bf says he for sure would - but I won't touch the mac n cheese. They should really remove it from the menu! read more

I checked out the Purple People eatery at the Stage for Family Style. It was pretty cool to have this truck here at this venue providing food while listening to some cool old school beats complete with break-dancing crews. We sampled the Black and Blues - Blackened buffalo mini burger with creamy bleu cheese, shallots, peaches and bbq sauce. Two came for $10 which I thought was a pretty good deal - they are in between a slider and a quarter pounder in size. These burgers were AWESOME. I found the buffalo to be pretty flavorful - most buffalo I've tasted was pretty bland due to the leanness of the meat. The tangy cheese and the sweetness of the BBQ sauce worked perfectly and the crispy shallots provided some great crunch in the middle of it all. We also tried the Mac N Jack ($5) which is Herb crusted broccoli mac n cheese with Monterrey Jack, Colby, Sharp Cheddar, and Smoked Gouda. I am very sad to report that the Mac N Jac was very average to below average. First of all there was no "mac" in the mac & jac. While this can probably be forgiven with a good pasta alternative, the pasta was in fact a tricolor rotini that could have come from a box on a shelf from Publix. The cheese was not very creamy at all, and was on the salty side, and the broccoli didn't bring much to the plate either. I'm sad to say that a Kraft Deluxe box with Velveeta would have been much, much better. Deflintely not worth the hour on the treadmill to burn that one off.... I also noticed that the Purple People Eatery is a supporter of the "Slow Food Movement". Well they may have meant the time it takes to get the food. The girl told me it would take about 5-6 minutes and it was really closer to 20. I'll give them a break since a buffalo burger probably needs to cook, but I was the only one in line at the time. Also regarding the "Slow food movement", I didn't really see anything on the menu that featured local cuisine or locally sourced ingredients. They can do a much better job letting us know what local produce is being featured like Jefe's does every week.... read more

David is fantastic. Their food is delicious. They cater events. They are dependable honest and give generous portions. Give them a try.

I was at a Food Truck rally and had already eaten from another vendor before stumbling upon the trippy purple van. I ended up ordering the Mac-n-Jack from the sweet woman at the window and and was blown away with the side dish. Its a hearty portion of spiral macaroni and crusted broccoli in a blend of melted cheeses. It was delicious! I also tried the Mahi-Miami (their fish taco) but was less than impressed. read more

Got the Mac and Jack since it caught my attention. It was very good with all the cheese and good small side dish for two to share. On the other hand, the service was terribly slow. I hope they can get into a groove or hire another to make the flow better. read more

This Food Truck is reliable when I'm looking for tasty food. I ordered the Mahi Tacos and for the first time - the Truffle Mac n' Cheese. OMG... both of these options are so so good. I wish that their menu had more of a selection, but they have perfected what they currently offer. read more

I've seen this food truck numerous times but hadn't had the opportunity to try anything from them until today and I must say that I am terribly disappointed in myself for not trying them sooner. The SO, brother and I split one of their tasty (& huge) Bison Black and Bleu burgers. Amazingly delicious and well worth the $10. We also split the loaded truffle fries, which are like nothing I've ever had before. Usually people go overboard when using truffle oil and it overwhelms any other flavors, but these guys were spot on. The scallions, melted cheese, fresh creme and bacon combined with the truffled fries was nothing short of a amazingly delicious. Can't wait til my next encounter with the Purple People Eatery! read more

The Black & Bleu bison burger is awesome. Get a side of the Truffled loaded cheese fries and you won't regret it. read more

Ok. So last night at the Wynwood Brewinging Co. block party, one of my friends passed out from the heat. Purple People Eatery stepped up and brought her food, free of charge. There was a long line of people waiting but they were very understanding of the situation and were very accommodating. Great service and thank you! On other occasions, I have had their food and it is delish! Good quality food! Great Mac and Jack!!! Great staff! read more

Having recently moved to Miami, this food truck had been recommended multiple times. Stumbling upon it in Wynwood, I ordered the truffled bison burger without hesitation. Everything about the burger was good...but only good. I was expecting much more because of the hype. I would order again from this truck if given the chance but I'll admit that I was expecting much more flavor from this $13 burger. read more

I've been "stalking" the Miami food trucks for a few months now and some are obviously better then others especially when it comes to options. This is hands down my favorite truck at this point and the staff is SUPER friendly. I really hope they keep it up. Alot of the trucks fall off once they have a following. Last Friday me and my bf went to Tamiami and did our usual walk through before deciding on our first course, we usually share something from two or three different trucks. Off in the back I peeped this purple truck I hadn't seen before. The special: California Burger that had a bunch of ingredients I love beginning with pineapple sauce, it was delicious! I only let my bf get probably two bites in. Oh and the jasmine lemongrass iced tea...you already know. The next day we went to Launch Art Market in the Design District and that's when they hit my with the cupid's arrow for real. The special: Arroz con Pollo with tostones for $5 that had a super yummy sauce on top which I would realllllly love to know the ingredients of. I'm Dominican and arroz con pollo was probably the second thing I learned to cook (french toast was first) and I can honestly say I make a mean pot so don't think it was some regular old arroz con pollo, it was serious. We usually hit up the dessert truck but they weren't there that day so we had the grilled pb&j sandwich with bananas and homemade strawberry jam...sooo good. With all that said follow them on twitter, facebook or whatever...find them and eat their food you won't be disappointed. read more

The Sweet Potato JoJos were simply fantastic. As sweet potato fans, we knew we had to try these. The chili salt and sour orange aioli take these to another level. Unlike your standard fried potato, we recommend eating these with a fork. read more

Good food truck, with tasty mac and cheese. It's a serious amount of food, and weighs about 2 pounds. You'll need to split it.... It won the New Times award, but I feel there is better mac around Miami. The owners are very nice and the good is well done. I'm not crazy about "the truck" experience, but every so often I'm dragged into the fray. read more

Purple People Eatery is consistently the best food truck at Second Saturday Art Walk in Wynwood. Everything I've tried on the menu is very good; a few items are outstanding. The tacos are my favorite--both the carnitas and the mahi mahi are some of the best I've ever had. The mac n' jack is excellent. Sides like the truffle fries and the jojos are also very good. The burgers are great, although they don't hold a candle to the tacos. Be ready for a longer wait compared to other food trucks, especially if there's a line. In my opinion, it's worth every minute. read more
