    Brisket Mac & Cheese Taco
    Scher S.

    Loved everything about it!! Food was great, service was awesome, outside seating but was a beautiful day so 10 out of 10 for me!! I'm looking forward to going back & trying some of the other menu items.

    Nachos with pork! Def not shy with the meat! Huge plus. I'd prefer queso over nacho cheese though. Not shown it was on the side

    We wanted Mexican and I saw this (new for us) truck was going to be in our hood tonight. We decided to "cheat" and order out and give it a try. I ordered online, and my husband went to pick it up. We tipped, always tip! This helps keep these places afloat!! Now to the food... the food was alright to us... the menu sounded amazing, but when I want Mexican, I want Mexican! It was more of BBQ truck instead with maybe a mex spin ?! The rice was like white rice with chewy texture, the beans were mixed and the tortilla was spinach, at that! What we had was pretty flavorful and some may love it. I just want what I want, when I want it lol! And this just didn't curb my burrito craving! This ran us about 40 bucks with tip, The portions were huge! And they were not shy with the pork on nachos :)

    I received a free lunch compliments of Super-Sod for their grand opening. My wife had the pork nachos and loved them! I had the special parfait and it was ok. The rice at the bottom was a little undercooked and the overall potion was very small. Had I paid the $14 for it, I would've been pretty disappointed. I would like to try them again, but would order something more substantial.

    Smokin Gringos was out at Firefly for a concert and I had my nephew and his friend with us so we all went and got some food. Luckily they had some kids meals like simple nachos and hot dogs too. We got the pulled pork nachos and they were decent. Lots of toppings and did the job at the concert. I was hoping to see their giant taco and some other menu items but because it's a festival they were slammed so I get it, but hopefully will get a better menu selection next time.

    My wife ordered dinner from the truck off of Street Food Finder last night and I picked it up on the way home. I was very happy with the service at the truck, and was loving the smell and the music as I waited for the food to be packaged up. Note, especially to the people who are knocking them because the food isn't Mexican enough ... these are "Gringos" operating the truck ... it even says "Smokin Gringos" which implies smoked meat like pork and brisket. Honestly. If you come to this truck looking to get traditional Mexican food, you came here with the wrong expectations. Anyway, off my soap box. The food was amazing. I ordered the brisket tacos with a side of mac n cheese (and I was very happy with that menu option). The rest of my family got pork tacos, nachos, and more tacos. We didn't leave anything behind on the plates, and nobody left the table feeling hungry.

    This is the BEST Barbeque - hands down ! The Brisket is SO Tender & the Chicken just falls apart. And the Mango Barbeque Sauce is to DIE for. Don't forget the pickles - Something Special !

    Smokin gringos came to Old rice retreat in cane bay tonight and I was excited to try it because last time I attempted to get something from this truck they sold out of food after I had been waiting in line for 20+ minutes. I'll start with the non food related part of my review. The truck is very colorful. I arrived to the event maybe 15 minutes after the event started. There was nobody in line at the truck. While walking to the truck, I noticed that pages grill food truck had a HUGE line. Well when I walked to the window and started ordering I couldn't help but notice the man taking my order seemed very annoyed I began to wonder if it was because there was nobody in line at his truck and so many at pages. Now one of the main reasons I love food trucks is I like supporting local businesses and I love how supportive all the trucks are of each other. After handing me my food, the man yelled out to the people waiting in line for pages and said "there's no line over here, I don't know what y'all are waiting for." After he yelled that at them, he turned to me and said "their food isn't that good." That was very disappointing to me. Now onto the food. I ordered the mega burrito and pork tacos with a side of Mac N Cheese. The tacos were very underwhelming. There was not much filling to them at all and they were very small. All that was in there was some pulled pork and a small amount of beans. The pork was juicy but there needed to be more. The tacos came with a side so I got Mac n cheese. I'm picky with my Mac n cheese so I was not impressed. It was very bland to me and the amount you got was very small. I do not feel I got $12 worth. Now onto the mega burrito. It was FANTASTIC but for $18 I wouldn't expect anything less. The tortilla was a spinach tortilla which I found interesting but it worked. In the burrito is salsa, sour cream, pulled pork, ground beef, refried beans, Gringo beans and queso! All of the flavors worked so well together. The creamy sour cream mixed with the juicy meats was amazing. There was a perfect amount of spice. There was also queso on top of the burrito which just added to the pleasurable flavor. Wasn't happy with my encounter but I would DEFINITELY order that burrito again.

    Food is good but overpriced. The owner pockets all credit card tips from employees so if you tip do it in cash.

    So so good! Got the honey mustard chicken Philly and it did not disappoint. I've had quite a few…read moreover-seasoned philly's but the meat in this one was seasoned so nicely and not salty at all. Although there was seasoning salt on top that I could have done without. The bread was nice and soft. Fries were good and hot; typical French fries. The owner and cashier were very nice and welcoming! They were at Snafu Brewing, another great place with an open atmosphere. They post their locations on their instagram @southphillysteakspot Definitely would find this truck again.

    We had a great time at Snafu Brewing (the beer and staff were fantastic!), but the South Philly…read moreSteaks food truck was one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. We placed our order around 6:50 PM. The man running the truck (the only one working) even commented about how slow business was. Despite that, by 7:40 we still hadn't gotten our food though several people who ordered after us had already been served. When my boyfriend checked, the guy said there was still "one person ahead of us" and that he'd bring the food over when ready. Around 8:00 PM over an hour later he finally came out with two sandwiches. But instead of what we ordered (one Classic and one Chicken Bacon Ranch), he handed us two Classics. When my boyfriend asked if one of them was ours, he said yes, but then immediately walked over and gave one of the sandwiches to another couple waiting. It seemed clear that he had completely forgotten about our order and just tried to hand us someone else's food. At that point, we were left with just one correct sandwich after waiting more than an hour. He told us he'd fix it quickly, and about five minutes later brought out the Chicken Bacon Ranch we had originally ordered. Earlier, he had offered us a refund because of the long wait, but when we asked about it after getting the corrected order, he became defensive and irate. He told us things like: "If you were in a restaurant you'd wait 30 minutes," (we had waited over an hour). and "Why would I refund you, you seem to be enjoying that sandwich just fine," (while we were sharing one sandwich because we were starving). He also tried to guilt us by explaining that he pays for everything himself and even asked for "compensation" despite the fact I had already tipped him 20% when we first ordered. Instead of apologizing, he raised his voice across the bar, made us feel like we were the problem, and then walked away mid-conversation. As someone who works in food and beverage, I know mistakes happen but the way you handle them is what defines good service. This was the exact opposite: poor organization, extremely long wait, wrong order, broken promises of a refund, and an worker who treated us rudely instead of professionally.

Roti Rolls has become such a market staple over the years. I ordered the Mother Clucker and it was delicious as ever. I was weary since the cheese wasn't as melts as usually, but the flavor was still on point. The staff prepped and delivered within minutes. I'm used to them being overwhelmingly busy. I was surprised they weren't this time. Thankfully, it tasted as good as always so please support them as I want this staple to stay! Notes for consuming, it gets JUICY! Always pick up extra napkins and hold carefully so you don't spill in yourself which I manage to do every time. Also try the creole mac n cheese! It was devilishly creamy and cheesy. It will not disappoint. Despite being a hot muggy day Roti Rolls delivered quality product and was the perfect meal to enjoy in the grass and listen to the live music.
