    The food truck parks outside of 12th avenue garage on some days during the week during at OSUWMC. I would give it an average rating because it's pretty highly priced for what you get. What you see in the pic is ~$11-12 after the +$1 for guac and tip. I think quality wise, the burrito was good but didn't have anything amazing about it that would warrant a higher price. The rice and extra toppings were also "good", but for this price range I would expect something extra tasting in it. The chicken was a bit average. I would say the burrito made me satisfied for lunch but could probably eat something more as well. Would consider coming back

    Burrito With Beans And Tofu
    Steve A.

    The Burrito Bus is among the many food trucks in Columbus. I have tried many of these food trucks and this one was pretty okay. This has good options for vegetarians. It has spicy seasoned tofu for protein choices. The burritos are big and they're fairly cheap too. I thought this might suck but not really. It's fairly good considering the amount you get. This isn't a taquiera so know that. It's Americanized for boring people's bland and sensitive taste buds. This is still better than Junior's Taco's. It was a fairly big sized burrito. This was about $8 and came with some very good hot sauce. It has its choice of protein including adobo tofu. This was better than some of the nasty Mexican restaurants around campus. I would grab a burrito from The Burrito Bus. It's Americanized but still it's good. The big size will be more than enough for anyone hungry.

    Hot Mama Bowl

    I've been hitting up the Burrito Bus for years now and it's so good every time! I love their Hot Mama Bowl with chicken, rice, cheese, guacamole and fresh jalapeños!

    It's Food Truck Wednesday! Today was The Burrito Bus. Super yummy! I had the Papa's salad bowl with extra lettuce instead of chips. So good. The ingredients were fresh and the fresh jalapeño was hot! For $8 it was a lot of food and a great value! There was only one person working the truck so it took almost 30 min to stand in line, order and pay. This would be the only negative. I will order again from this truck when it makes it way back in the area.

    $4 for a small regular taco?!!! Yikes, since there were so many food options at the Columbus Food Truck festival we simply wanted a taste of what the Burrito bus had to offer and got a single taco, two are $7, they are they same tiny ones that you can get for $1.50-$2 elsewhere and should not cost more than that. Tastewise fine but just a complete rip off. I also got the taco salad and they made up for it with give me free guac (usually $2 since I didn't want any meat. The salad was on a bed of chips which gave it that crunchy taco salad taste that I love, it was great, $7 is also a bit steep but it was good. Still I think they need to work on their prices, the burritos were fair in size, go with that is you want something worth your money. The guys are nice and work fast, not bad still not worth going back in my opinion.

    Soft flour tacos with everything on them

    This is one of the very best food trucks in Columbus, hands down! Their nachos are absolutely legendary and their ground beef makes you not wonder if it's mystery meat. Since stumbling upon it in an office parking lot after a doc appt 6 weeks ago, I have followed it and tried to run into it again. The soft tacos are amazing and the guacamole is the best I've ever had from a food truck. I will eat this any time it is an option! You guys rock!!!

    Does that give you an idea of the size of a regular nacho? #Upclosesavor

    3.5 for size, value, and speed. Often food trucks are a longer wait than restaurants. They came out to the Baymont Inn near Rickenbacker Air Base on South Alum Creek Dr.. 3 people sitting on the curb eating. 3 waiting for food. Us 2 ordering, and 3 walking up as we were taking our food to go. I am never a fan of the melted nacho cheese. most have that ever so slight gritty texture like un-dissolved salt. I asked if shredded would melt OK on my nacho's. "If you add something hot." Kind of non-friendly with an easily detectable attitude. I can put up with any 'Soup Nazi" for great food. The chips were store bought corn rounds with a lot of salt. The under seasoned ground beef had some huge chucks as well as small which are better for nacho coverage. The beef may not have been hot enough to melt the cheese. I never fault food temperature on food to go. Most standard add on toppings like Chipotle. I did say no onions, repeated it 3 times, and got the impression he was trying to scrape them off the rice. I suppose if I had an allergy, I would have been in trouble, since I tasted some strays. The food came out fast like most Mexican places. It's already cooked. Just needs assembly. I ordered the $10 Effin Huge, but they did not bring those containers. Thank goodness! The regular $7 was packed into a large sub container. Plenty of hot sauce to choose from out front. I would order again, as I told co-workers. So minus 1.5 stars for attitude, onions, and under seasoning.

    The menu for today

    pleasantly Surprised! I dunno why but I had been avoiding trying the Burrito Bus for months. They are around OSU's campus quite often, but for some reason I thought it wouldn't be good. Well today my food adventure spirit trumped my fears and I tried them out. The menu was straight forward, I chose the pita de pollo. It was simple: pita bread with chicken, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. The chicken was well seasoned and tender. The toppings were appropriate and the pita was a nice touch. I really enjoyed it.

    Such a lovely day outside and had some wonderful tacos.

I sit at the bar and I'm greeted by something I've never had ever...chips served with 2 red salsas, a verde salsa and bean dip! Usually you just get chips, a small bowl and a carafe of salsa, help yourself. This set the tone that this would be different than usual. I ordered steak fajita nachos and a Modelo Negra. I powered thru the chips and bean dip like it was my job. And it didn't disappoint. Really fresh and flavorful. Nachos are nachos, right? Wrong. How they are assembled has everything to do with their mouth feel as they cool down. I've had nachos that come out looking amazing but as they cool, turn into a disappointing chuck of chips held together by shredded cheese cement. These stayed loose with crunchy bites of peppers and onions, and the cheese sauce coated instead of becoming cement-like. I always order the same thing when trying a New Mexican spot. If the nachos are good, chances are everything is good! So I'll keep the almost 5 Star steak going. I agree, some of the best Mexican food in Columbus.

    While I was in Korea, I came across a story that stopped me in my tracks--one of those moments when…read morethe weight of someone else's experience hits close to home. Ricardo, a waiter at Cazuela's Mexican Cantina in Reynoldsburg, had finished serving a table, expecting the usual--a tip, a simple acknowledgment of his hard work. Instead, he received a hateful message scrawled on the receipt, the kind that cuts deeper than words should. Ricardo works at Cazuela's only on Sundays, a second job to help make ends meet. So today, in between my OCIA responsibilities, I decided to stop by--to meet him, to shake his hand, and to remind him that there are far more good people in this world than the ones who spew hate. As we talked, I saw a man who carries himself with quiet dignity, someone who simply wants to work hard and provide for his family. I shared with him that I, too, know what it feels like to be told to "go back to your country," even though, like him, I am an American. I told him about my childhood, standing in front of my family's Crestview Market, hearing the ugly chants from passing cars--some driven by kids I went to school with. But today wasn't just about reliving painful memories; it was about something greater--the power of community, of kindness that drowns out cruelty. When I arrived at Cazuela's, I wasn't alone. Others had also come to show their support, to stand with Ricardo. He told me the outpouring of kindness had been overwhelming, and I was relieved to hear it. Before I left, I handed him my WARM card and told him if he ever needed help, he could call me. Because no one should feel alone in moments like these. And, by the way, if you ever stop by Cazuela's, their enchiladas and Mexican rice are fantastic. The chips and salsa? Fresh and addictive. And my server, Isabel--attentive, kind, and everything a great waitress should be. Some people choose to spread hate. But today, I saw so many more people choosing love. And thats what matters.
