My hubby, I saw this place out in town and called home to see if I would wanna try them. It was a definite yes for me, I miss a good taco truck style street taco. Coming from SoCal I guess we were spoiled. I am so happy to report. I have found my new addiction in town. And we have already been back! A good street taco is a treasure in it of itself. I find myself making two tacos out of everyone, with double tortillas and a massive amount of meat. It is easy to turn one into two. I was overjoyed, the Carnitas from this place is some of the best I have had in years. Cooked perfection and then finished on la plancha to get those perfect crisp edges makes for just an amazing bite. chopped with just that perfect amount of onions and cilantro, I think I could eat these things until I hit food coma stage. It love the red salsa, spoon delight lightly over the top. The sauce just has a wonderful depth of flavor and a nice bite. I keep the extra for chips later! The second visit I asked for more Carnitas and I tried the al pastor, even the hubby fell in love with al pastor. The meat just so tender and juicy and full of flavor. This truck has just unlocked a new addict. The burritos are HUGE! Worthy of sharing with another...or not! It comes full of goodness, but I personally would never add on the sour cream as I think it mutes the amazing flavors stuffed in the tortilla. Thank you Tacos La Bufa for making my heart happy.

Every time we go to Reno (which has been very often thanks to the Wifey), said Wifey always wants…read moreme to pass by this place to get some of their kettle corns. She first had a taste of them when one of her coworkers brought some to work one day and she'll crave for it once we're close to Boomtown. What's so special about their kettle corns compared to everyone else? That I can't tell you. To me, all kettle corns pretty much taste the same from vendor to vendor. At least here, you know you're getting a fresh batch every time as he makes them on the spot. Now unless they add different flavors that makes it unique and stand out from the rest then I can tell you that it's worth it. Then what so special about this place? The Man (notice I capitalized the M in Man) working inside makes it with love. He's also a good Man with a good heart, a good character and a friendly, inviting, warm and kind soul. Knowing that the product that he made with his own hands, blood, sweat and tears gives it all the difference. NOTE: He's only open on the weekends during the winter and depending on the season and weather. He should be open during the weekdays during the summer and peak time. It's located outside Cabela's right off of I80 in Boomtown. One bag is $6 bucks and two bags is $10 bucks. Do the math. Cash Only.

I think the smell attracts the people too cause man you can smell that kettle corn. He make it from scratch there on the spot. It is good! He is a cool guy cause he sometimes give me a sample bag. I am definitely coming back for more. His price are fair and his is really nice. I would recommend to grab a bag just to taste good kettle corn. Plus I love supporting local vendors and local business. Keep up the awesome job and great product. Thanks for reading my review.

I was excited when I first heard about this from a local chef. And I was even more excited when…read morethey told me who was helming the vessel! I've seen plenty of Kevin's creations via the local foodie group so I had a hunch that this was gonna be a homerun. There's not much in the way of gourmet sausages in Reno and hot dogs are alright but I really love some good sausage/brats. I got to encounter The Missing Link the first time I finally made it down to Feed The Camel. Kevin manning the grill and the rest of the family helping serve up and take orders made for a well oiled machine. I kicked off my patronage with a smoked hot link which paired fantastically with the margarita I was indulging in. These are sausage sandwiches so instead of a bun they're wedged into a length of bread notched out and grilled up with a little butter, garlic and parm to add a little pop of flavor. I practically inhaled the hot link it was so good. After finishing my first sandwich I declared it absolutely necessary to dive immediately into a second one. The second test drive called for the basque chorizo which to no surprise was also fantastic. They also offer up a handful of sodas, water and a plethora of chip varieties to pair with your dog if you so choose. I can't wait to devour the rest of the menu! Another thing I love is that not only is he a local but he's sourcing locally as well. He sources from a few of my favorite local businesses. It always makes me feel good putting my money towards keeping my local spots thriving.

Super excited to check out The Missing Link while they were set up in front of Nevada Brining…read moreCompany and Reef Dispensary Sparks today. I got the Sweet Italian and The Hot Link and my wife got a couple Dinner Franks. So good and all local sourced from Butcher Boy Meats, Rounds Bakery and Nevada Brining Company. If you like relish, The Missing Link uses Nevada Brining Company's Relish and it's amazing. The Italian sausage was very good. The sauce had a tiny kick to it, generous amount of sautéed onions and peppers that had a nice bit of crunch to them but that hot links was the star of the show and I should have ordered two of them. Great flavor, good snap, and a nice amount of heat that was balanced by the slaw and mayo. It made me want to keep taking a bite. Also I tried my wife's Dinner Franks and nice balance of flavors and that relish I can just eat alone. Definitely follow them on Facebook for location updates like I did and try them when you see them out and about. I will definitely be back cause I'm already thinking about that hot link.

Went because I thought it was a Truck Food event where trucks come in from different states. I'm…read morepretty sure everyone here tonight ( both trucks & tents) are local So I was pretty disappointed to find trucks or tents from many of the restaurants in town that I've already visited. I did get some pulled pork from Brothers BBQ that I quite enjoyed. But I also enjoyed it at their restaurant. Found something I have never tried before from Winey Ice Cream. Raspberry sorbet other Cabernet wine. Yummy So while I was personally disappointed, the place was mobbed. Great place to bring the kids and have a picnic. Many brought blankets or chairs to enjoy the live music. We walked, since I live just outside the park. Parking lots and streets were jammed and they were still coming as we left around 7pm Biggest complaint-- too many people think it's appropriate to bring dogs to a place where there is barely enough room to walk. Keep your dogs in the grassy areas and let someone else pick up the food. I'm not anti-dogs -- it was just too crowded! Probably won't venture out there on any of the coming Friday's unless coerced by others So once again, great family night out

What do you get when you combine some over-priced, but tasty junk food (albeit with a very few…read morehealthy choices), live music, and typically more than thirty local food trucks in a beautifully treed park along the Truckee River,? Well, between May and the end of September that would be "Food Truck Friday" in Reno's Idlewild Park. Okay, it's not gourmet dining, but rather an "experience." Watching the parade of walking tattoos strolling between the trucks makes for some fun people watching for what is predominantly a younger crowd. And if you're okay with the outdoors, wrestling with a selection among so many decadent choices can be just as much fun. There's plenty of room to eat on the lawn or listen to music making usually something for everyone in this weekly early evening outdoor happening . Watching folks scarf down everything in their path here makes for a good argument for the connection between choice and obesity, but who can blame them with the enticing aromas about? And I've been as guilty as any. Once or twice a month, it's my fun, unhealthy junk food splurge though I include a healthy walk to and from to exercise the treats off. Depending upon the weather and time, the crowds can get pretty dense and the lines long, and be prepared to spend some dough. Best to show up early at 5 p.m. or a bit later. And it's easy to spend $25-30 for your Food Truck meal so don't kid yourself that your saving money. All said, you should have a good time!

First off, I have to admit I completely underestimated the magnitude of this event as Idlewild Park was pretty poppin and parking was nearly impossible. After we finally found a spot to park, we grabbed out chairs and headed to the Park. After picking our spots by the duck pond, we walked around a bit to survey the offerings. We tried three different trucks and sampled some pretty delicious bites. Some of the lines were a long wait and some were moving along pretty fine. But there's pretty much something for everyone. I would definitely hit this up again, but probably try to arrive earlier to plan better parking. It was a bit of a challenge navigating this for the first time, but at least I know what to expect now. I really wish my hometown had something like this. May try it again later this summer.
