We came here on a recommendation early February. When we came, we spoke to the owner (Braulio…read morePeralta) and asked him if he could make us a food cart. We brought a picture of a cart we wanted. We explained to him that the company who makes the cart isn't taking any new orders as they are behind over 6 months. Braulio, told us he can do it. He said, he's done food counters for Cannery Row food establishments before therefore knows the rules of needing to use food grade materials. We explained to him that that is the most important thing for us because that is the only way the health department would approve a permit - any material touching food needed to be NSF approved. He said no problem. He then told us that for him to copy the cart from the picture and specs we brought in, it would cost us between $7-$9k. We agreed and asked him to proceed. He also told us the cart would be ready by March 1st. At the initial meeting, we brought in pictures and gave him the specs. We have him the link to the website of the cart we wished duplicated and sent him many pictures from every angle of this cart we needed built. The next day, we brought a trailer for him to build the cart on and he said he didn't want to use that cart and he would prefer to build the cart but it would cost us another $1k. We agreed so he can get started on it. We came to the shop to document the process of building so that we may post it on our social media page as well as keep our donors (who contributed to a GoFund me) informed about the progress of getting a new cart built. After about a week, we came back to the shop and saw that he had built us a new trailer. A huge trailer and definitely much bigger than the specs we gave him. When asked why that size, he said, it's to make sure the cart remains stable. He continued on with the build and after a couple Of weeks, which is when he said it would be done, we came by the shop and saw that he had built the structure of the cart and again bigger than what the specs we gave him. We told him we couldn't have it that big and he used that as the reason as to why it wasn't done on time. He said because of the modification, everything got set back. Everytime we came to check on it, we saw something that wasn't part of the original plan. Everytime, he assured us that he knew what he was doing and that the way he's doing it is much better than the picture we showed him. What was supposed to take a couple of weeks to build, took over 2 months. In the end, we ended up with a cart that isn't even operational as a stand alone. The only way the griddle feature works is if we insert a piece of metal to lift it to give it proper ventilation. No lights were installed, the doors don't work properly. We didn't ask for him to use doors with locks, he did that on his own and then wanted to charge us for it. They don't close and open right, the burners do not stay on unless all the doors are left wide open which gets in the way of our operation because it wants to constantly swing open and shut. The iron frame trailer he built, is rusting daily because it was never primed and painted. The shelves are useless to us because everything that goes in it gets damaged when the burners are on because of the heat and there was no insulation installed between the stainless steel walls that surround the fire. We tried reaching out to him after we picked it up to let him know about those problems and he ignores our messages and emails. We're unable to operate due to the fact that the cart will not pass inspection due to those issues that should not be there with a properly made cart. Forget that they built as a cart that they wanted to build their way not the cart we wanted built, still, it does not work and we aren't able to operate it currently. I would not recommend this shop to anyone. I would also get a contract and something in writing about everything agreed because they have no integrity.
