Ohh shout out to Up in Smoke BBQ! We have ordered from them many times going back to San Marcos…read more Their food is delicious and the portions are huge. We ordered a bit late tonight but they put the order through. They were out of the chili so substituted their mac and cheese which is delish! They even put in a sweet note to let us know they substituted and gave us a larger portion and a some little extras. Hub got the two meat combo and I had the pulled pork sandwich. Best BBQ in North County! I have enough leftovers for two more sandwiches! Thank you Up in Smoke for the delicious food and great customer service. Sorry if we kept you open a little late.

This Hawaiian food truck was hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite tasted like it was made with care and authentic island flavors. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the service was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. If you're craving authentic Hawaiian food, this is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back again and again. Mahalo for such an incredible meal! they also have a location in pb if you don't catch them on the go!

Service is always very friendly and quick. My go to dish is the Luau plate which for $17 gives you a trio of meats: ahi poke, teriyaki chicken, and Kalua pork. Everything is quite solid.

We got a super spicey habeñero sauce that had a really good flavor and plenty of heat! There was a tent setup by the truck that kept us out of the sun. This truck was out of the way for us while we were visiting Escondido, but we would go out of the way again to stop by this food truck. We just found it online by looking for good tacos trucks, and this place deserves 5 stars.

I've never had such an unpleasant and unprofessional experience at this food place before. My…read morefamily and I come here often. It's my child's favorite spot, and we usually all get something to eat. However, today (10/25/2025), we each wanted something different. I had already purchased a taco elsewhere and decided to add a little salsa from here. My child had just ordered food at this location, and his meal came with a cup of salsa, so I didn't think there would be any issue. However, the lady at the counter scolded me, saying she needed to charge extra. I tried to explain that the salsa came with my child's meal, but she interrupted, grabbed the condiments away, and continued raising her voice in front of other customers. It was extremely embarrassing and completely unnecessary. After this encounter, I will not be returning to this location. I plan to share my experience publicly on social media so others are aware of how the staff treats customers. Avoid this place!

I highly recommend this food truck. I have been exploring mariscos around Escondido/ San Diego and…read morethis truck has stood out greatly. You can tell by the quality of ingredients, presentation and the refreshing /delicious taste of the food /seasonings that they actually make their food with love and attention to detail versus a lot of sloppy mariscos places I have come to eat at. The chefs were very kind and even recommended what sauces to eat with which food which to me is very important and shows how much they care for their customers taste palates. Sauces are essential! That was the first give away to me that their food was going to be amazing. The truck is parked in front of Grove Park, we ordered our food and set up a blanket at the park to eat and it was such a great time. The park has plenty of shade/benches and makes for the perfect outing / date idea. We will definitely be back and telling all of our friends/family to go. Edit: I will be back soon to take better photos of the menu!

The dishes came out together, and the bride and wedding party got served first. The dishes, despite being plenty in amount, all came out warm and beautiful in appearance. They were constantly going around delivering dishes, cleaning up plates, and refilling water. I'm immensely happy with the experience. The staff were all wearing matching uniforms, so they were easily spotted and were also incredibly professional. Shortly after the ceremony, they came out multiple times with the hors d'oeuvres and sought out people who had asked to try the next batch when the plate was empty. They were very thorough and offered multiple times to make sure everyone was satisfied prior to the dinner. During the speeches, they were respectful and didn't come around or get in anyone's way. They definitely can work around a crowd without being obstructive. I highly recommend that if you need to cater an event, you hire this company!
