We were excited to try out this Mediterranean food truck when it came near our home. We headed…read morethere after our daughter's soccer practice was done. That meant it was close to 7:00pm before we got there (the truck had been set up starting at 5:00pm). When we arrived, their generator had stopped working which meant anything that needed fried wasn't available. I felt bad for the people working the truck because I could tell they were flustered. On to plan B for our kid's meals. I ordered the Falafel platter as they had just enough of them left for that. My husband got the Lamb Gyro and we got the mini chicken gyro for our kids. The food was ready quickly. We ate at a picnic table that was nearby. I wasn't the biggest fan of my falafel platter. The falafel was really dry and lacked a lot of the flavor I desired. The rest of the platter was fine. My husband seemed to like his lamb gyro and our kids liked the chicken in the mini gyro but left the rest alone. We admittedly didn't choose this food truck at the next two events we saw it at. Not that it wasn't something we'd eat again, it just didn't wow us.

Caught Hotsy Totsy at Campbell Park for Food Truck Friday. The menu looked incredibly tasty, but I…read moreultimately decided to try the Brisket Totchos. This was a brilliant concoction of taco meat, briskett,brisket, red onions, and sour cream. And if you like a bit of heat, it also comes with jalepenos. All of it is a riff on loaded fries except tator tots are used instead. The portion size was quite nice, the workers were very friendly, and the dish arrived quickly despite the steady line of people placing orders. Looking forward to visiting the truck again and enjoying other variations on their menu.

My first experience with the Hotsy Totsy food truck was at Middlebrook Farm's "Fridays at the…read moreFarm." The line was steady and long for them the entire night. I wanted to let the line die down a bit since I had my kids running around all over. Lucky for me, it eventually did. After a very short wait, I was lucky to snag the last serving of the Totsy Gyro. A friend had suggested it. Many of the other menu items had already sold out. It was delicious!!! The gyro meat was very tender. All of the toppings added just the right flavors and I loved the addition of tots mixed in. Definitely looking forward to eating food from them again.

Finally had a chance to hit up the Waab's Piggin' Out truck today…read more The truck was parked at the Mini Cooper dealership off of 100th and Hickman in Clive. Watch their Facebook page...they're pretty good about posting where they are scheduled to be and the time they will be there. I ordered the brisket sandwich. It's a heavy sandwich...and not one for the dainty eater. They asked if I wanted to pickles and onions on it... Sure. You talked me into it. Thicker sliced brisket on a focaccia roll/bun. The brisket was cooked perfectly and it was pull apart tender. The sandwich filled a standard 6 inch by 6 inch take-out box from corner to corner. The BBQ sauce was sweet, tangy, and had just a touch of heat. I have no idea if the sauce is custom or a third party. I'd assume it's their own; I didn't ask. We had a very short wait between ordering and being handed our food. The truck staff was polite and efficient. Waab's accepts cash or cards. Brisket sandwich and a 1 oz. bag of chips ($8). 16 oz. soda ($1.25). Definitely a thumbs up and I'll go back and try a few more of their items when I can catch them on the West side. Usually I write more, but I'm finding it hard to fluff this up. Just good BBQ.

Or, shit, in my case, after a soul-crushing afternoon wandering West Elm, pretending I give a sh*t about artisanal throw pillows while secretly plotting to ram a floor lamp down my throat just to feel something real again. The air hits you like a sucker punch grilled carne asada and a fat waft of primo weed, mingling into this unholy perfume that grabs you by the nostrils and drags you face-first into the chaos. It's a go*damn siren song for the hungry, the stoned, and the downright depraved. This orange beast squats just a curly-hair from the Iowa State Capitol, a middle finger to suits and sanitation codes alike. The vibe? Pure, unfiltered food truck anarchy; think sticky asphalt, busted sidewalks, and a health inspector's rolling nightmare. I love it. I've roared past this beast thousands of times, tires screaming, on my way to some soul-crushing boutique in the East Village, but this one afternoon, the speakers are blasting Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! like a coked-up mariachi raving at the moon. It's a primal call, part rave, part ritual sacrifice and I was summoned, no questions asked. I slam down five street tacos. At three bucks a pop fu*k me, that's cheap. We're talking barebones brilliance meat dripping with grease, a sloppy sprinkle of cheese, some diced onion, and a cilantro garnish, all crammed onto a pair of corn tortillas toasted so perfectly they could double as fine art. I take a bite, and holy sh*t it's a go*damn revelation. Juices are gushing down my chin like I'm starring in a taco bukakke flick, my taste buds are doing a filthy tango with a side of donkey show flair, and I'm grinning wider than a chick eating cake at her quinceañera. For those sacred, greasy minutes, the world's a beautiful sh*tshow, and I'm the king of it sucking down taco juice while plotting my next bite. This is living, you prissy little bit*hes. Eat up.

Is it August? Are you in Iowa? Then you got fair food on the brain…read more At work, we are kicking off the state fair with fun events. Today, they spoiled us with a food truck. Got us in the mindset by bringing in this great food truck. When they said we'd get our taste of the fair, they weren't joking. Everyone was pumped and came right out to get in line. I think I lucked out and was pretty early in the crowd. There was a whole list of foods to choose from. A really nice lady stood out front and took your orderShe was all smiles, helpful, and gave off great energy. She knew the right questions to ask and took your order. 10 out of 10 on the smile and service. I know they were slammed, but they worked hard to meet all the orders as quickly as they could. I ordered the Tenderloin with Leomade. I also ordered the fried oreos to share with my coworkers. I saw orders of hot beef Sundae and funnel cake fries come out. Walking tacos and chicken bites. No matter what your order, I see smiles and excitement. The food was perfect. The Tenderloin was perfectly fried in a bun with pickles. The oreos were sensational. I got to try the funnel cake fries, and they were good as well. Can't go wrong with anything fried and covered in powdered sugar. To top it off. Their Fair lemonade washed it all down and hit the spot. They did a great job. I heard so many compliments from my coworkers. I would 100% recommend for any employer to hire them to spoil your employees. I would 100% recommend the food if you see them in your neighborhood.

We got the Margherita and Barbeque Chicken. Both had fresh ingredients and the Margherita was about what you'd expect, but the the Barbeque Chicken was a bit skimpy...maybe due to speed at which they had to make them. However...both had a good taste and I'd try them again when they weren't so rushed, anticipating it might improve things a bit. They did keep up with the pace, getting the pizzas out in about 10-15 minutes from time of order, and there were a lot of orders!
