The food is delicious and well worth the try. The options that they have is a wide range that can get your pallet satisfied and ready for a good party. The lobster bacon Mac and cheese is mouth watering as it is bursting with flavor. Every bite will have you enjoying an awesome food memory. Their sandwiches are just as good ranging from their pulled pork to any of the available meats. The cook on the meats is just right as it will melt on your mouth. Service is great as the staff will make sure your needs are met.
Tried the Street Kitchen Food Truck for the first time on Sunday in Long Beach with no line as they just opened and it was absolutely delicious. I wanted to try the pork belly grilled cheese sandwich but they were out of pork belly and suggested the pulled pork grilled cheese but I opted for the filet mignon quesadilla instead. It did not disappoint. I waited about five minutes and boom it was ready. Good in size and height the filet mignon was chopped in a cube shape. It was cooked well and tasted fresh with the oozing cheese. Service was great as well.
When you need some comfort food in a snap, Street Kitchen is to the rescue! We stumbled upon this truck during our stroll on Night on Broadway (which was so much fun btw). I ordered the Filet Mignon Mac & Cheese because I'm bad and boujee and this dish embodies that phrase in every way. I mean, c'mon, if bad and boujee were a food group this is the poster child. The song was literally playing in my head while I was eating. The filet was perfectly seasoned, wasn't dry and really meshed well with the mac and cheese, complementing it very well. I was afraid the mac and the filet would both be overly salty but that was not the case. The bf had the brisket quesadilla, which I also had the pleasure of trying because what's his is mine and... that's it (kidding...or not). We were eyeing the lobster quesadilla but it must have been a fan favorite since it was sold-out. Brisket quesadilla was so damn good. I came with tomatoes/pico de gallo fusion and it gave it a much more refreshing taste than I was expecting. Food was a tad pricey but hey, I ordered something rather fancy so I guess that makes sense.
My friends and I discovered @StreetKitchenLA (Street Kitchen) when we were on one of our lunch food truck runs. This food truck is unique looking because it's an open kitchen truck where you can see the folks slicing, dicing, preparing and cooking your food. There is a guy who stands outside of the truck and takes your food orders. The guy taking the orders asked if it was our first time to try this truck and he suggested the quesadillas. My friend and I decided to get one jerk chicken quesadilla and one of their special pork belly quesadillas and split the two. The jerk chicken quesadilla was $8 and the pork belly quesadilla was $12. The jerk chicken quesadilla was ok. The chicken was nice and soft and there was a distict flavor of spice and pepper through out this quesadilla. The overall flavor was different from anything I've ever had. The pork belly quesadilla was my favorite. This one had tender pieces of pork belly, mixed in with cheese, pico de gallo and avocado. It was delicious at first bite. Soft pork, melted cheese and a nice touch of avocado just made this a clear winner. Both quesadillas were nice and soft and had plenty of ingredients. They were also both huge in size. They cut the quesadillas in three but I was full after one slice. I had plenty to share and enough for lunch and dinner. I really liked the quesadillas from this truck. I would definitely recommend looking at their daily specials because the pork belly quesadila was on the specials list and was my absolute favorite during this food truck run!
Okay, I normally don't review food trucks simply because they're kinda hard to find and review on Yelp. However, I'm making an exception today. I was introduced to Street Kitchen via Sunday Sessions at Grand Park. While the offerings were impressive - filet mignon tacos, lobster grilled cheese, kobe burgers - the prices for said offerings were expensive. I mean a kobe burger, fries, and a soda will set you back $13. Now I know what you're thinking...you're paying for the quality so it's supposed to be pricey. That's the point - I'm paying for QUALITY. Honestly, the bacon kobe burger slider was nothing to write home about. In fact, the name of said burger was better than the actual burger itself. The only thing worth writing is the fries, which were just plain fries, were generous for $5, and even then, I'm not sure if $5 was worth the offering. Here's what grinds my gears about this particular food truck and I really hope the owners/cooks/whatever the hipsters like to call themselves clarify. They had a picture of Prince (yes, thee Prince) saying, 'Just like books and black olives, all tips matter.' The real quotation is 'Just like books and black lives, all albums matter.' During a time when Black people are being arrested just for being Black, we're being gunned down, choked to death, and our perpetrators are literally getting off, that wasn't a funny joke, nor was it 'tongue-in-cheek'. It was in incredibly poor taste and I'm surprised no one has mentioned that to the owners. If it wasn't for the fact I took a picture of said 'ha ha funny', I doubt anyone would believe me. Naturally, I didn't give a tip and to be honest, I shouldn't have eaten there but I was so hungry and I stood in line for a long time. I will know next time to skip this food truck for its poor food and even poorer sense of awareness. It was the epitome of White privilege and me thinks not. I will patronize other food trucks from this moment on.
The 1st time I checked this truck out was on January, 2014 at Narbonne High School (BOOoOOo!!! Sorry, I went to Carson High! LMAO!) during their South Bay Din Din A Go Go. I was sold via Jacko, who approached me and convinced me to try their food as I was walking around, hungrier than a walker in a forrest who lived off squirrels instead of humans. At the time that I went to and arrived at the truck, they ran out of filet mignon... but Jacko recommended a kobe beef sandwich that he personally made, with a hint of avocado. I honestly LOVED IT. It was definitely one of the best damn sandwiches I've ever tasted. It's up there with the grilled cheese sandwiches that The Grilled Cheese Truck makes...and that's not a dis-respect to The Grilled Cheese Truck at all. The 2nd time I checked out this truck was on February, 2014 with my cousin Fred; who came all the way from the Bay Area to try out some So. Cali food trucks. Jacko and the Street Kitchen truck was around, so I told him that he had to try it. We ended up getting the filet mignon quesadilla and DAMN.... it was so F'n delicious... it made my mouth water so much, that by the time I was finished eating it... it felt like I was cotton-mouthed. Yes... it felt like an edible hit off a joint that didn't have any sticks, stems or seeds..................from what I've heard lol. I give this truck 5 stars because of the awesome food quality and epic customer service by Jacko and the cooks!! GREAT JOB and keep up the wonderful work! Street Kitchen is definitely one of my all time favorite food trucks now!
This was one of many food trucks parked across the street from LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and you'll find tacos, sliders (sold out when I got here), quesadillas, grilled cheese, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, fries, nachos, and desserts. And yes, filet mignon is the main theme for this food truck (take one of the food categories and fill in the blank: filet mignon __________ [EXCEPT burgers]). *** Filet Mignon Quesadilla (Wagyu natural filet mignon [American Kobe beef], four cheese, mild cheddar, Monterey Jack, asadero queso oaxaca, fresh pico de gallo, roasted poblano salsa verde, gourmet flour tortilla, $13): Crunchy flour tortilla as juices from filet mignon & poblano salsa verde slowly dripped into the take-out foam container. Good enough portion to keep me somewhat filled, but $13 is still really expensive for slightly above average (B-) quesadilla. (3.5/5) Cajun Shrimp Taco (Shrimp marinated in street Cajun spice mix, fresh pico de gallo, Cajun slaw, roasted poblano salsa verde, corn tortilla, $4): Mediocre shrimp quality, but pretty generous portion. (3.25/5) *** Well you are basically overpaying for food that don't taste terrible. Considering there are more misses than hits for most of food trucks, I think Street Kitchen is a fairly safe food truck option.
Forget calories and just go for taste. Better yet, marvel over the fact that this is a trailer, not a food truck, and two main guys churn out all that food with a ton of variety!! I cannot believe I haven't rated these guys yet and I've eaten from them 4 times. Wait, let me get a few more napkins before I dirty the keyboard even more... Lose the food truck idea and look for a trailer type stand with only 3 guys (two are doing the cooking and one of the is the owner and the other is taking orders) running the whole shebang. You can see your food being made right in front of you from start to finish. Nothing fancy here and it is straight street food from sliders to quesadilla's and hot dogs, so stow the cutlery away. Food: Thus far, I've had their lobster grilled cheese and I'm seriously hooked on it. I'm not the kind of person who likes beef or pork in their grilled cheese, but a few foodie friends of mine suggested I give it a whirl anyways. Melted cheese, bacon and lobster (I opted out of the avocado option) and I'm in heaven. This one is pretty hefty too and I was full by the time I was done. I highly suggest this one if you're looking for something different. Lobster quesadilla: You MUST come ravenous for this one. Skip lunch because by the time I was done, I couldn't eat anything else afterward. Dessert will likely not be an option after downing this monster because I swear this thing weighed a pound when the chef handed it to me. I even accused him of trying to kill me!! (He laughed). I can't remember what was in it, but I do remember cole slaw, lobster and cheddar cheese all folded into a quesadilla and grilled to perfection. It is messy to eat this one, so grab all the towels/napkins you can. Better yet, have a damp towel. This one is probably the most pricey thing on their menu ($16.00) and I suggest you split it with someone. Kobe slider: Beefy and tiny and a great intro to what they serve. Quality is what it's all about here and you pay for it, but so worth it. I consider this the perfect not-so-hungry-but-don't-want-to-fill-all-the-way-up starter bite :) Tips: 1) There's not much on their FB page about where they will be parked, but I'm going to assume they tweet. There's a lot more info about them on Yelp than anywhere else, but I do wish they had a website so it would be easier to find them. 2) They have a very large menu and there is sure to be something you'll like. I haven't even tried 1/2 their menu yet and I believe they do take credit cards and debit, but ask them first. 3) Be prepared to stand waiting for your order (unless you're first in line) about 5-10 depending on what you order. Some things will take a little longer than others. Summary: Their menu may not be to everyone's taste, but I for one, love them. Yes, it's greasy, filling and sometimes messy but I have yet to be disappointed. You want to press the self destruct button on your diet?? See these guys:) To the owner: Thank you for the tea!!
On a rainy food truck friday, many of the food trucks had called it a night. But amongst the few last standing was this Street Kitchen. A larger food truck than most I've come across. They even have 2 built in mini refrigerators for soft drinks. Of the 10 food trucks that were left, I decided on Street Kitchen not only because of the attention it got from my pallet but they had real displays of their food out on a table, along with photos on the truck and on a sign. New age Mexican American mixed street style, deliciousness. I'm a lobster gal, and how serendipitous was it that the lobster slider included: brioche type buns, lobster, bacon, tons of Avocado, cole slaw, chipotle sauce, if I added one thing it would be some sweet onion or a hint of barbecue sauce, this slider was missing something... That'll feed almost everyone of my cravings. Perhaps the side of fries or tots would fulfill all cravings? Why not have both? I also ordered a 1/2 tater tots (Be sure to mix so they don't taste over seasoned)& 1/2 Cajun chipotle French fries are exquisite. The meeting of crispy fry meeting saucy concoction, meeting appetizing satisfaction. If potato heaven were a place on earth street kitchen is where it's at. The right amount of crisp in both the tots and fries. No soggy from the spreads they were still in crisp tact. One of the most Amazing potato experiences ever. Do they deliver? Cater? I want it all. Service was friendly, you can see into the truck and the street kitchen crew is all smiles & you can tell that they are having a good time. Makes you say food was definitely made with love.
The line was long, the night was hot, and the menu was appealing as fuck; calorie-heavy, cheese-saturated, deep fried--what more can a girl ask for? I couldn't resist. There were easily twenty people ahead of us, and it took about 20-25 minutes to get to the truck and place our order (plus another 15 after that to get our food). It's not the fastest, but I think that's also because everyone was ordering 3-4 items. The food's a little up there in terms of price (one sandwich plus a bottled water set me back $14, no sides) and an order of fries, albeit gargantuan, runs about $8. But it's worth it, guys. The portions are extremely satisfying. The pork belly grilled cheese is easily the best sandwich I've ever had. Street Kitchen knows what they're doing with meat. That pork belly was tender and fell apart in my mouth; whatever they cook it in, wow. Someone find me the recipe and I'll buy it off you. NAME YOUR PRICE. Pair that with sharp cheddar (not even my favorite kind of cheese, but the perfect compliment to the pork), fresh avocado, and aioli... whoa. And the bread... Every bite was mind-blowing. I took my first bite and fell in love; I was so enlightened I had to give each of my THREE friends a taste before I continued on with the ecstasy that was this sandwich. YOU HAVE TO GET IT. SERIOUSLY. I can't stop thinking about it. My friend had the brisket mac and cheese, and hers was not quite as exciting as mine; the meat was perfect (see earlier comments), but the mac and cheese had just a little too much cheese variation. A hodgepodge of flavors that almost worked: Parmesan had no place in this dish. Good day. The meat made it good, but I have to say--my dish was way better. Get the sandwiches. Nom nom nom. I would definitely seek this truck out for another taste.
#41 (2017) Well ya see here... it took about 30 minutes to land at this food truck but I'm just glad I did actually succumb to my friend's decision. Because at first I thought as anti-street kitchen. But after eating it I flipped and I'm pro-street kitchen! Let's just say they ain't got any alternative facts goin on here. No funny business!! So I was at an event out at the LA Coliseum and it was low key whack so I'm like food can ease the pain! Good thing it was a free event because lord knows I'd be fighting and writing letters for my money back! So yea!! There was so much good stuff on that menu!!! It's like where do I go with my order. So many options!! Even though I wanted to grab like three or four thangs it was just unrealistic because each item alone was $12+ so o ended up grabbing the Garlic Parmesan Tater Tots and the Chipotle Shrimp Quesadilla! The Tots were so good!! I couldn't put them down!! I kept eating!! And same for the quesadilla! So cheesy!! So chipotley!!! So shrimpy!!! So saucy!!! Like y'all needs to try if you wanna drop a few coins!! I would say the downfall is the cost! I would def try again but it can't be something that I would grub on the regular!
For a brief moment, Street Kitchen appeared to be a refreshing anomaly in the otherwise bland stream of B-Team food trucks that frequent my office. Yelp helped build the hype here, but after an overpriced, underwhelming Jerk Chicken Wrap, Street Kitchen fell back into the the middle of the masses. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The guy in the truck during my visit to Street Kitchen on a Monday afternoon was nice, and my Jerk Chicken Wrap came out surprisingly quickly. Right from the get-go I had some hesitations about the breadth of the menu and some of the items. Can a truck really effectively do jerk chicken, "kobe" beef, and filet mignon? I had my doubts. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $13.00 for a Jerk Chicken Wrap? Yikes. That's like, a chipotle burrito with double meat and guacamole. While my wrap wasn't small, it wasn't quite enough to fully satisfy my ambitious lunch craving. No Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Jerk Chicken is one of my favorite dishes, and the jerk spice alone can turn even a standard cheese into glory. I had high expectations for a jerk chicken burrito, but these ingredients fell short. The jerk chicken wasn't at all spicy or flavorful, the beans and lettuce were bland, and the whole thing was overflowing with juices in a way that made it difficult to eat. At the end of the day it simply wasn't great. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I wouldn't. No Star Granted.
I got a pulled pork fries this week from Street Kitchen food truck. They have many items on the menu, so it took me a while to decide. Pulled pork fries is recommended by the cashier and I like it too, especially the pork. I don't mind more sauce in it, and hope that there can be fewer fries. You'd want to eat it when it's warm, cuz the fries would become soggy after a while. It's a bit pricy ($13+), but you may split into two meals as it has a big serving size.

So you've probably noticed, there's no pricing on the menu. It's so they can charge whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want. My friend had the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwich when they drove to his work place, $11. I just had them at a car event, and they charged a startling $22 for a Lobster Grilled Cheese. No sides no drink. Like WOAHH. The Lobster Quesadilla? $30. LOL food trucks man.. and when I had to ask how much, there reasoning was simply "BECAUSE IT HAS LOBSTER". Right.. Anyways, I stood in line in the scorching sun for like 20-30 mins or something so I just had the Lobster Grilled Cheese. It was actually good, $22 good? If it had like fries and a drink, just maybe. They're better than Slapfish but Slapfish doesn't chunk my wallet for one sandwich. read more

[Review #522] 2020 Yelp 100 Challenge (26/100) Street Kitchen is one of the few food trucks at The Reserve that I haven't tried, & in some ways I wished I hadn't. The truck offers a fusion of Mex-Cali style gourmet comfort food... can a food truck serve Kobe beef, let alone good filet mignon? Really?! The menu looks tempting but the prices are exorbitant to the portion. $25 for a Lobster Quesadilla... what!?! I can't image how much lobster you get for that price, even Cousins Maine Lobster Food Truck's & Roll'n Lobster Food Truck's are half that. :-O It was late into lunch & I had a meeting so I ordered the KOBE PATTY MELT (kobe patty, sharp cheddar cheese, brioche toast). Ordering was fast & friendly, however, it was a bit of wait for delivery. My co-worker obviously received his loaded fries before me because he was ahead of me. There were 2 customers behind me that received their order before me. ＼(｀0´)／WTH!?! When I finally got my sandwich, I was not impressed. It just looks like a regular burger patty. Kobe beef is a delicacy, known & valued for its fatty, well-marbled texture, flavor, & tenderness. Kobe beef is Wagyu beef from the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle, raised in Japan's Hyōgo Prefecture. If this is Kobe, which it isn't, then it's an injustice to the cow to be made as a patty melt; due to its scarcity, there are only 9 restaurants that serve Kobe beef as far as I'm aware of. It could be Wagyu, but it's not of quality like HiHo Cheeseburger, & my patty was overcooked... it might have tasted better at medium or medium-well. This patty melt didn't have any of the qualities of real Kobe beef, nor Wagyu beef, which I have had many times in different variations. The sharp cheddar provided a nice pungent flavor to the sandwich & the brioche toast held up well from start to finish, as it should since the meat was neither tender or juicy. It's a decent patty melt that needs to be renamed/named properly because calling this Kobe is a misnomer due to its scarcity. A touch of caramelized onions would also add some sweetness & texture to contrast the saltiness of the cheese. I felt the sandwich curbed my hunger pangs but didn't satisfy the foodie in me. With remarkably higher prices that most of the regular trucks, I do not find myself tempted to try their menu again. Recommended: Kobe Patty Melt that's not authentic Kobe. read more

They even have 2 built in mini refrigerators for soft drinks. Of the 10 food trucks that were left, I decided on Street Kitchen not only because of the attention it got from my pallet but they had real displays of their food out on a table, along with photos on the truck and on a sign. New age Mexican American mixed street style, deliciousness. I'm a lobster gal, and how serendipitous was it that the lobster slider included: brioche type buns, lobster, bacon, tons of Avocado, cole slaw, chipotle sauce, if I added one thing it would be some sweet onion or a hint of barbecue sauce, this slider was missing something... That'll feed almost everyone of my cravings. Perhaps the side of fries or tots would fulfill all cravings? Why not have both? I also ordered a 1/2 tater tots (Be sure to mix so they don't taste over seasoned)& 1/2 Cajun chipotle French fries are exquisite. The meeting of crispy fry meeting saucy concoction, meeting appetizing satisfaction. If potato heaven were a place on earth street kitchen is where it's at. The right amount of crisp in both the tots and fries. No soggy from the spreads they were still in crisp tact. One of the most Amazing potato experiences ever. Do they deliver? Cater? I want it all. Service was friendly, you can see into the truck and the street kitchen crew is all smiles & you can tell that they are having a good time. Makes you say food was definitely made with love. read more
The line was long, the night was hot, and the menu was appealing as fuck; calorie-heavy, cheese-saturated, deep fried--what more can a girl ask for? I couldn't resist. There were easily twenty people ahead of us, and it took about 20-25 minutes to get to the truck and place our order (plus another 15 after that to get our food). It's not the fastest, but I think that's also because everyone was ordering 3-4 items. The food's a little up there in terms of price (one sandwich plus a bottled water set me back $14, no sides) and an order of fries, albeit gargantuan, runs about $8. But it's worth it, guys. The portions are extremely satisfying. The pork belly grilled cheese is easily the best sandwich I've ever had. Street Kitchen knows what they're doing with meat. That pork belly was tender and fell apart in my mouth; whatever they cook it in, wow. Someone find me the recipe and I'll buy it off you. NAME YOUR PRICE. Pair that with sharp cheddar (not even my favorite kind of cheese, but the perfect compliment to the pork), fresh avocado, and aioli... whoa. And the bread... Every bite was mind-blowing. I took my first bite and fell in love; I was so enlightened I had to give each of my THREE friends a taste before I continued on with the ecstasy that was this sandwich. YOU HAVE TO GET IT. SERIOUSLY. I can't stop thinking about it. My friend had the brisket mac and cheese, and hers was not quite as exciting as mine; the meat was perfect (see earlier comments), but the mac and cheese had just a little too much cheese variation. A hodgepodge of flavors that almost worked: Parmesan had no place in this dish. Good day. The meat made it good, but I have to say--my dish was way better. Get the sandwiches. Nom nom nom. I would definitely seek this truck out for another taste. read more
#41 (2017) Well ya see here... it took about 30 minutes to land at this food truck but I'm just glad I did actually succumb to my friend's decision. Because at first I thought as anti-street kitchen. But after eating it I flipped and I'm pro-street kitchen! Let's just say they ain't got any alternative facts goin on here. No funny business!! So I was at an event out at the LA Coliseum and it was low key whack so I'm like food can ease the pain! Good thing it was a free event because lord knows I'd be fighting and writing letters for my money back! So yea!! There was so much good stuff on that menu!!! It's like where do I go with my order. So many options!! Even though I wanted to grab like three or four thangs it was just unrealistic because each item alone was $12+ so o ended up grabbing the Garlic Parmesan Tater Tots and the Chipotle Shrimp Quesadilla! The Tots were so good!! I couldn't put them down!! I kept eating!! And same for the quesadilla! So cheesy!! So chipotley!!! So shrimpy!!! So saucy!!! Like y'all needs to try if you wanna drop a few coins!! I would say the downfall is the cost! I would def try again but it can't be something that I would grub on the regular! read more
For a brief moment, Street Kitchen appeared to be a refreshing anomaly in the otherwise bland stream of B-Team food trucks that frequent my office. Yelp helped build the hype here, but after an overpriced, underwhelming Jerk Chicken Wrap, Street Kitchen fell back into the the middle of the masses. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The guy in the truck during my visit to Street Kitchen on a Monday afternoon was nice, and my Jerk Chicken Wrap came out surprisingly quickly. Right from the get-go I had some hesitations about the breadth of the menu and some of the items. Can a truck really effectively do jerk chicken, "kobe" beef, and filet mignon? I had my doubts. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $13.00 for a Jerk Chicken Wrap? Yikes. That's like, a chipotle burrito with double meat and guacamole. While my wrap wasn't small, it wasn't quite enough to fully satisfy my ambitious lunch craving. No Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Jerk Chicken is one of my favorite dishes, and the jerk spice alone can turn even a standard cheese into glory. I had high expectations for a jerk chicken burrito, but these ingredients fell short. The jerk chicken wasn't at all spicy or flavorful, the beans and lettuce were bland, and the whole thing was overflowing with juices in a way that made it difficult to eat. At the end of the day it simply wasn't great. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I wouldn't. No Star Granted. read more

I got a pulled pork fries this week from Street Kitchen food truck. They have many items on the menu, so it took me a while to decide. Pulled pork fries is recommended by the cashier and I like it too, especially the pork. I don't mind more sauce in it, and hope that there can be fewer fries. You'd want to eat it when it's warm, cuz the fries would become soggy after a while. It's a bit pricy ($13+), but you may split into two meals as it has a big serving size. read more
Food Trucking Friday! Was out at the Granada Hills Friday Night Food truck round up and the Street Kitchen truck immediately caught our eye with their grilled cheese. Going with something with bread for the first meal of the night was probably not the right course of attack but my mouth definitely didn't have any issue with it nor did my tummy. One thing you will quickly notice is that they have their stove on the outside so you actually get to see them cooking unlike other truck where the stove is in the inside of the truck. So we waiting around for about 10 min or so to get out sammie. Still took about 10 min or so to get our sammie. Lobster grilled cheese ~ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/street-kitchen-hollywood?select=7ouFeMeZ7sNXlrxuiNtIxQ#8wR-lqEyc_zJRe9bBHS3_Q is what stoogie and I split. It was a nice size portion even with sharing a half each. The grilled cheese had a OK amount of lobster and avocado. I wished there was more lobster in it. It was the first time I had gotten a grilled cheese's off a food truck! I would definitely try some of the other tasty stuff they serve off this truck next time around. Eyes ~ Whoa Nose ~ Smells yum. Ear ~ Happy diners waiting on their order. Mouth ~ Oh man this is tasty grilled cheese! Tummy ~ So satisfied read more
New on the streets of Hollywood, Street Kitchen is actually a large trailer. The cook actually stands on the curb (or more specifically a metal grate affixed to the vehicle) and can mingle face to face with the customers. Their menu is, what else? street food-- hot dogs, and sliders (I tried one of each) as well as tacos y quesadillas. I ordered a OG slider which was Kobe Beef, provolone, grilled onions, and wu-tang sauce on a small brioche bun. I felt it was a bit pricey for the size at $3.50 but was absolutely perfect. I didn't notice the fine print on the menu board until I got home and downloaded the pics. I could have made it a double for $5.00, That would have been off the charts. I wish the friendly order taker David would have upsold me on the double, but he seemed more interested in flagging down passersby than handling the customers he already had. he probably could have sold me a soda too. I wish I could rave bout the dog as well. They serve a premium, Chicago natural casing dog with bacon, grilled onions and peppers and your choice of condiments to make it a hybrid LA/Chicago style dog. The dog itself was pretty good, it had a darker casing than most dogs you will find and an excellent snap to it. The problem was I had to spear it with my plastic fork, and hold it in the air to eat it like a Popsicle. They use an east coast style egg bun, which is nowhere near adequate to hold the weight of the condiment overload. Ever watch a kid at Costco who liked to turn the crank of the relish dispenser??? It looked like he prepped my dog. The cook asked me if I wanted relish, I said yes, and he overloaded about 4 times the usual amount. By the time I walked back to my car (which was pretty close) the bun had basically separated. To make matters worse, the bacon is laid on the bun rather than wrapped around the dog, and was limp rather than crispy. This truck has potential, but David needs to think about why he named it Street Kitchen,. This is street food. People buy it and eat as they stand, lean or walk. Or they bring it to their car. How would a person standing in the sidewalk, with a drink in one hand and the tray in the other eat a disfigured hot dog with a plastic fork? And I was there at lunch time on a workday! I can't imagine trying it a little aftert 2 a.m. 5 stars for the burger, 1.5 for the dog equals a 3 in my book; but I can see how you might find it a 4 or 5 "Gourmet Food Truck #55 on my never-ending quest to try every truck in So Cal" . read more
Duck Cheese Sandwich Ordered a duck cheese sandwich with soda - $13. They did a lot of things right on this. The bread, cheese, avocado & the confit duck were all great by themselves. Together though, it was a cheese sandwich. From the looks of some of the other stuff coming off the truck, I think I just ordered the wrong thing. I will definitely try it again. ---------------------------- Pulled Pork Sandwich Pretty darn good. Lots of meat - someone actually stopped and asked where he could get that same sandwich. Very filling. I would do that again. read more

I never wanted to take the time out of my day to write reviews on Yelp, I simply wanted to just check in to places to document my past visits. However, I reconsidered for the delicious Street Kitchen food truck. My girlfriend and I came across the truck during the LA artwalk. They were the first food truck we saw and they had big pictures of their food on their truck, which really made the truck stand out. I'm always a sucker for cheesesteaks, so I ended up getting their Cajun cheesesteak hoogie (10$). My girlfriend got the pork belly quesadillas (12$) and we split the nacho cheese bacon tater tots (8$). These three items made me forget that we had come to LA on this Thursday night to look at Art. The portion sizes for everything we got were fantastic, we definitely got more than we could finish. However, unlike a lot of food trucks, the prices were on par for the portions that we received. Part of the reason why I got the cheesesteak instead of selecting from the enticing lineup of quesadillas was because I thought the quesadillas would be small. I was wrong. The nacho cheese bacon tots were definitely the stand out item, while the cheesesteak and the pork belly quesadillas were delicatable main entrees. On food alone this place would get 4 stars (ex. the cheesesteak peppers and onions were a little bland), but their fantastic customer service pushes the overall rating to a 5. The truck owner asked us how our food was and brought us some extra chipotle and curry sauce. Being first time visitors to the truck, it was great to be provided with condiments that pushed our food experience to the max. This guilty pleasure of a feast made me want to really let people know about this truck. Writing this review has already taken up more time than I wanted it to, but since Street Kitchen took time out of their busy day to enrich my food experience, I will take the time out of my day (I'm doing this at 2 in the morning) to help them. read more

OH MY GOD! so good!!!I always pass by his food stand during lunch but never had the urge to try it. You know when you are hungry & everything sort of taste good because of it? Well, I was really full when I tried the Lobster slider and it's better than any slider i've ever tried. $5 for a slider with lobster, avocado, bacon and coleslaw. Service: The owner is pretty nice. The food took less than 4 min. read more
I tried this food truck at the Exposition Park Street Food Cinema "Scarface" event last Saturday. I was deciding between the potato quesadilla and pork belly grilled cheese since I'm a vegetarian every two days... the lady who took my order said both are good (of course) but I went with the former because she said she's not a vegetarian and that's her favorite quesadilla. It was pretty good. Not worth $15, but it filled me up and I could barely finish it. I would try this truck again, but I'll probably opt for the pork. read more

Another regular at the DTLA art walks. And luckily, I live downtown so I have easy access! I effin' love the FILET MIGNON MAC & CHEESE! It may be a tad on the pricey side, but you get a decent amount of steak in there so it's more than worth it. The mac & cheese itself is good (not elite, as there are better) BUT when you top it with bacon crumbles and juicy filet mignon.... you get heaven in your mouth. 5 stars on the basis of this menu item alone. I've also had their filet mignon quessadilla & their kobe chipotle bacon cheeseburger (needless to say, both are also bomb). Overall - this place is awesome. And they cook surprisingly fast too, so the line moves quicker than you might expect. Definitely pay them a visit! Oh and did I say that you need to try the filet mignon mac & cheese?! read more

Dog that they are parked at our apartment complex tonight! We just ordered a filet mignon quesadilla and filet mignon grilled cheese, with a side of bacon parm fries. My quesadilla was awesome- full of flavor, with great balance. My husband equally love his grilled cheese and fries. Some people commented that portions seemed small for the price, but based on what we got today, I totally disagree. Perhaps they have taken those reviews to heart? If you get a chance to try this truck, I would. read more
This food truck sets a new standard for other food trucks for me. It's HUGE!!! Might be almost a double decker?? It definitely is at least 1.5x the size of other food trucks. This would just be a novelty if they didn't make use of it and i believe they do in 3 ways: 1) its clear to see the workers working, 2) they have more workers than the average food truck, and 3) they have more ingredients than the average food truck. You can get lobster, chicken, fish, filet mignon, pork, calamari, hot dogs, pork belly, philly steaks, shrimp, short ribs, and kobe beef. Did I miss anything? There's really something for everyone. I pigged out on Lobster Slider ($5.50), Filet Mignon taco ($4), and a Cajun Fish taco ($4). All good but hands down the Lobster Slider was the best of the three for taste, value, and bacon! Street Kitchen is now in my top 3 food trucks. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic!! I found this truck on Cal State LA's campus the other day. I ordered the "filet mignon fries" but I substituted the filet mignon with jerk chicken. They were as AMAZING as they look. Will definitely be looking to see them on campus again, or elsewhere around town. My only qualm was the price - $12 was pretty steep for a plate of fries, but what ev. read more

If you know me, you know I can't resist any variation of carne asada fries. So when I walked past the Street Kitchen truck during lunch today and saw Filet Mignon Fries on the menu, I had to give it a try. The dish is made up of wagyu natural filet mignon, black beans, avocado, fresh pico de gallo, 4 cheese blend, roasted poblano salsa verde and chipotle aioli. It's kind of not fair because with all of that on a bed of golden fries, how can it not taste good, right?! Definitely helped that the fries were crispy but not hard, meat was cooked well with great flavoring, and the whole dish had a fun kick to it thanks to the chipotle aioli. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they gave a little more meat/sauce. The bottom fries were left a little dry once I started making my way through the dish but this is nothing major enough to keep me away and I will def be back to try other things on their menu! read more

We got a chance to try this truck at the Pioneer H.S. food truck event on Tuesday nights. Tried the lobster grilled cheese and the lobster and bacon mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was super delicious. Just the right amount of cheese and big hunks of sweet lobster - finger licking good. The lobster grilled cheese was tasty, but I felt it needed more cheese and less salt. I could have done without the big crust too - it was on the thick and drier side. Prices are a bit hefty, especially on the lobster items, but I would return just for the mac and cheese. read more

I was at the LA County Fair when I stumbled upon a food trailer that offered Lobster Grilled Cheese. I passed it up on my way to the beer garden thinking it was another gimmicky flash in the pan food vendor offering a small amount of lobster with melted cheese between two slices of bread. Boy was I wrong! On my way out of the beer garden, I couldn't resist the smell of the food coming from the trailer. So I decided to slap down $10 or $12 dollars for what turned out to be one of the best sandwiches I have EVER eaten. I am a foodie who enjoyed all kinds of foods and I've been fortunate to be able to travel the world and taste different types of sandwiches from different countries. This sandwich ranks right up there with the best of them. My only regret is that I would be traveling out of the country for a month the day after I visited the fair and I would not be able to eat this delicious sandwich again for at least a month. Now that I'm back in town...I'm on a mission to track them down. Visit this truck if you see it on the streets. You will not be disappointed. read more

Pork belly grilled cheese is delicious! Stopped here with my honey. They ran out of Mac since its late in the day but the lobster grilled cheese was a good substitute! Fast, fresh, delicious.. Found them across from LACMA on a Monday. If I see them again ill definitely try the smoked brisket Mac!! read more
Amazing I visited twice in one day. The first visit I was just trying but everything was looking so good it was hard to decide so I went with the lobster slider it was so good I decided to go back for another one and said what the heck I want to try something else too! So I got another slider and a filet mignon quesadilla it was soooo good I ordered another one to take to my dad to try who is also a foodie!! read more

The potato veggie quesadilla is the. Best. Quesadilla. EVER. I first tried it at the LA Fair then spent a month hunting this truck. Finally found it at the Granada Hills Grubfest last Friday. I ordered two veggie quesadillas. I ate both of them and begrudgingly shared a few pieces with my coworkers. They were just as impressed. I was promised this Food Truck will be in Granada Hills every Friday now. My Fridays are booked for the rest of my life! read more

This food cart (it's towed behind a pickup) is a great find. They have a menu with a lot of options, you get to see your food cooked right in front of you, and the food tastes good. I like that you get to see your food cooked right in front of you - this is what street food is. Not only did I see my food cooked, I saw how clean the cook maintained his area. He was wiping stuff down, using separate utensils, and constantly cleaning his hands. Maybe the specter of being watched had upped his cleanliness but it was still nice to see. (Pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Bxi1LwBpLceQ6Vl3ppB9-g?select=1B533S_ouuSyvbFOnYy-Qw Actually, the menu is deceiving. It looks like you have a lot of options but it's just the same proteins (kobe beef, filet mignon, Philly steak, fish, pulled pork) spun different ways - tacos, quesadillas, sliders, or hoagies - with a few variants thrown in. And there are some hot dog choices too. I'll start off with the veggie quesadilla. This had an interesting flavor but it wasn't spectacular. It looked really delicious, more delicious than it actually tasted. It was stuffed with guacamole and peppers and onions. Something about it didn't taste good. I'd probably try a quesadilla again, just not the veggie, maybe with the filet mignon or chicken. Fish quesadilla also sounds interesting. (Pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Bxi1LwBpLceQ6Vl3ppB9-g?select=xS0rFPmW23cVborJ3JlD0Q The pulled pork slider was good (according to my wife). She didn't go into details but she did finish it, which is a really good sign. The double bacon Kobe beef slider was really tasty too. The meat was perfect with that smoky ground beef flavor. (Pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Bxi1LwBpLceQ6Vl3ppB9-g?select=ng7vlTY0AdpBUYtsMcX6AA The filet mignon taco was amazing. The meat was tender and there was a lot of it and the salsa verde was good. I should have gotten two. (Pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Bxi1LwBpLceQ6Vl3ppB9-g?select=3XHZ7VK97f0u7n6f2tQJAA The Philly cheesesteak was also good. I've tried it both regular and with Cajun sauce. I don't care for the Cajun sauce. Either way, the meat is really tender and cooked perfectly and the sandwich is just stuffed full of meat and toppings. Yum. (Pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Bxi1LwBpLceQ6Vl3ppB9-g?select=YoUWLbA61tojtTk3-jru8g The food here is very satisfying and literally comes hot off the grill. The French guy working the cart is really nice and helpful if you're undecided on what to get. read more
