This evening I was not in a mood to cook, and wanted to try something new. Lucky for me, a food…read moretruck was in the front of the neighborhood. The wife and I had heard great things about it, so we took little trip.
We arrived and perused the menu outside of the truck. A lot of delicious looking things on the menu. Burgers, birria tacos, yummy looking fries, lots of good stuff. Near the front of the truck a separate menu saying it was burger week, so we opted to try a burger.
A friendly face, presumed to be the owner, greeted us and took our order. The wife ordered a single patty smash burger with all of the fixin's to include jalapeños for $15. I noticed a breakfast burger on the menu, so I inquired what was on it. One patty, cheese, a fried egg, bacon, and a hash brown patty. All of my favorite things on one burger. Also, for $16, that seemed like a good deal.
In good time, we were summoned to the truck for our order. The fella who took my order informed me he had forgotten to let me know that a spicy strawberry jelly came on my burger as well and asked if that was ok. I am generally not a big fan of jelly, so I politely declined. Unfortunately, the burger was already made, so he requested the cook to remake the burger. Not wanting to wait for another burger I told them I would give it a try. He insisted remaking it would not be a problem, but I opted to try it anyhow.
We strolled back to the house and got right to it. I grabbed my burger and forgot about the fried egg. The egg popped and seeped all on the plate before I got a bite. Whoops. Anyhow, the first few bites of my burger were delicious. Juicy, and seasoned very well. Bacon was cooked right and was not rubbery. The hash brown was also a great addition and tasty. About the third bite I got the strawberry jelly. The jelly was good, but it overpowered the burger. The sweetness distracted me from the juicy burger, and annoyed my tastebuds. I tried to scrape the jelly off of the burger, but the burger was saturated with it. I ate about half of the burger and gave up on it. My hands were also very sticky, so I had to stop eating it because it was just too much. I finished eating my fries and watched my wife finish her burger.
To be fair, they did offer to remake it. So, the jelly fiasco is on me. I own up to that, and will not ding this review because of it. That being said, I cannot wait for them to visit my neighborhood again. I definitely will be having them again. The food was great, and I loved the whole food truck vibe.
If you see this guy in your neighborhood, give them a try. Shop local, and keep these guys in business.
Enjoy!
