    Some of the best Southern cooked food you can find in the Denver area. I would highly recommend their chicken.

    I was excited to try this food truck turned restaurant that recently opened in a familiar space…read more Inside, you'll find the mini-bowling alley and super cute pink decor that matches their trucks and Day of the Dead themed art. The large seating area is clean, and the ordering area is modern, with large menu screens. The food is formatted so that you select your protein variation and then a presentation, which could be a quesadilla, nachos, taco, sandwich, or bowl. If you really want more, you can select a side dish. We decided to try pork nachos and a birria quesadilla. The service was top-notch, and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. $15 nachos had very little pork but lots of convenience store nacho cheese sauce, which was not at all what I expected. They also were missing a mess of normal nacho toppings, and those that were on it were scarce. More than half the chips were dry. The quesadilla was unremarkable. The cheese used was not high quality, and it seemed average at best. Overall, I am disappointed as I would have loved to have found another option in Brighton. With the fun atmosphere and lots of TV, it would have been a good place to grab a bite, a beer, and watch the game or meet with friends. Hopefully, they get it dialed in or lower their prices to reflect the actual product.

    At NDK here at Gaylord of the Rockies, not much for food options unless you want to pay an arm and…read morea leg. That being said this being food truck, I still had to pay with a leg and half an arm for simple food to go, $17 an item. Simple service and not much else besides a snack. Food choices were chicken, pork or veggie. Bowl, tacos or quesadilla. We opted for a chicken bowl and pork tacos. Chicken bowl was small, basic, and topped with geen Chile's not really a a green chile. Food had an interesting citrus profile topped with cabbage, not a slaw. The pork tacos were a better of the two, being full of flavor and moist but drenching the single corn tortilla it was served in. By the end of the first taco, the other two were falling apart. Tacos were topped with cabbage again but all together, a very small portion filling for the tortilla being used. Overall food was edible. Not a coleslaw like labeled. Green chile was in fact just diced up green chile almost canned like. Small portions for the amount of paid. Would eat if I was hungry enough.

    I always consider myself lucky when I get to try amazing food. Not because it's rare, but because…read moreof the privilege that comes with it. Being able to drive 20 minutes for a great meal is something to appreciate. Sometimes the stars align, and the service is top tier, the vibe is right, and you walk away with a fantastic experience. That's exactly what happened at the Magic food bus Chef Gary & Ashley were some of the nicest, most welcoming owners I've met. The passion and care they put into their food is palpable, making the meal even more enjoyable. What I ordered: Green Chili Cheesesteak, MFBUS Smashed Burger, MFBUS Hot Chicken Sandwich, Colorado Burrito, Truffle Parmesan Brussels Sprouts, Fries. Best bite: I texted a friend after my second bite of the cheesesteak, and I'm quoting myself here: "I think I just had the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had." The name may have been wrong, but the taste was correct! Perfectly cooked beef, Colorado green chilis, and an amoroso bun that altogether made the perfect bite. The hot chicken sandwich was top tier, with the perfect amount of spice without sacrificing flavor (my biggest pet peeve with spicy food). The smashed burger? Easily in my top 5 (maybe top 3?) in Denver Metro. And that burrito--WOW. Perfectly cooked steak, fresh smashed avocado, and a cheese-crusted tortilla. 10/10, no notes.
