He Said: Super friendly people. Super yummy food. Super excellent location sitting right there in the NoDa parking lot. We have had a few different tacos on each visit and appreciate the flavors and quality of the ingredients. We also appreciate their persistent regularity. If we're there and they're there we *will* be eating. She Said: I think he covered everything pretty well. On our visits to NoDa we've had many of the things on the menu, and we haven't found anything we wouldn't order again. Potty Points: NoDa's potty gets 5 out of 5! read more

I've had this food truck while at NODA brewery, but it's always been great. The nachos are always my go to! Whether I get a protein or not, they are topped with a green tomatillo salsa, sriracha, green onions, and the best: Crumbled goat cheese! This last time I got the shrimp, which was perfectly cooked. It really hits the spot with a good beer. read more

Food trucks can impress with the food stuffs they produce & TIN Kitchen definitely joins those ranks. One day they happened to set up shop a couple blocks from where I was staying so I had to go on a scavenger hunt to find them. It was a must do. They have a very interesting menu, but my eyes were immediately drawn to the Korean BBQ Slider. As my little bundle of goodness was handed to me from the window, I could smell the kimchi. To my husband's chagrin, I don't always enjoy the smell of kimchi, but if you want to mix it in a slider (or a Philly Cheesesteak), I will eat it up. The slider was bursting with flavor and full of BBQ beef goodness. The right mix of flavor for all the taste buds to enjoy: sour, sweet, savory, salt. They were all there. I would definitely look these guys up the next time I'm in the Queen City to track them down again. read more

This place is so yummy! I loved their chips and salsa. I ended up getting the shrimp taco and pork belly taco. Shrimp was cooked great and paired well with the ingredients on the taco. Pork belly taco was good but not my favorite. My husband loved the pork taco though. Next time I'm going to try the flank steak taco! read more

Best food truck in Charlotte, hands down. I have sampled much of the menu and I've been happy with each selection. Workers are kind and quick. My order, even when I've substituted ingredients, has been right every single time. Pro tip: If there is a line or you're at a busy event, order the nachos. They're fantastic and they come out at lightning speed. read more

Wow, I was blown away by the Tin Kitchen after finally tracking down this food truck..definitely as good as a brick and mortar restaurant. I ordered the pork belly taco and buffalo cauliflower slider. The pork belly taco was awesome. While being super simple (just a corn tortilla, pork belly, lettuce, and sauce) all of the flavors went so well together that more ingredients would have likely detracted from it. The sweet hoisin sauce went perfectly with the salty pork belly, the soft corn tortilla was great, and the lettuce/kimchi was fresh. Simple but really good! That said, the buffalo cauliflower slider I ordered was even better! I'm a meat lover, but I wouldn't mind being vegetarian if every vegetarian dish tasted like this. The charred cauliflower was excellent, and the buffalo sauce soaked in to give it a very nice flavor. The bun was perfectly toasted, the celery slaw was good, and the celery aioli & blue cheese rounded out the slider to make one awesome sandwich. Both things I ordered had perfect flavor combinations, which really makes me think that almost anything from the Tin Kitchen would be good and the chef/owner must really know his stuff. The prices were reasonable ($3 for slider, $2.50 for taco), and my only complaint is that I didn't order even more. read more

I was pumped when I arrived at NoDa last Thursday and saw Tin Kitchen parked out back. Then I saw the "Guy Fieri was here" paint tag on the truck and thought "wow, this is going to be good". I decided to sample three items. Buffalo Cauliflower Slider: great flavor, nice heat and celery root slaw was good - 4 stars Chicken Tinga Taco: solid flavor - but no stand out notes for me - 3 stars BBQ Brisket Taco: the brisket was burnt - not charred - but burnt and black half a centimeter into the tissue - the entire length of the piece of meat - super tough/chewy - all I could taste was burnt meat - if it had not been raining "cats and dogs", I would have brought it to their attention - needless to say I did not finish it - 1 star Kind of disappointed with my experience considering their reputation. More like a two star for this visit. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this one "slipped past the goalie", but quality control is very important especially for a mobile kitchen! read more

When you're paying almost 4 dollars for a tiny taco it kind of has to be amazing. These were good. But nothing above and beyond. So after eating them I was happy, but also $12 poorer and still very hungry. I liked the chana masala tacos the best. The chicken tinga was dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. read more

The Tin Kitchen is a local food truck which pumps out some very tasty but small-portioned food. We stopped by the food truck on our way to another restaurant to try some of their tacos as "appetizers". The first location that we went to (the address on Yelp) is the location of one of their daily locations but wasn't the location for our particular day. We had to go onto their website and find the location using their locator page. The location had parks right up the road from it with a parking meter (parking was simple and cheap). As for the food, I have posted a picture of the 2/3 tacos we ordered. We ordered the chicken tinga taco, the BBQ beef brisket taco and the Thai coconut shrimp taco. The Thai coconut shrimp were bland and I didn't favor the Thai slaw on the taco, but to someone who does it would have been great. That was the bad.. now for the good.. The chicken tinga taco (my girlfriend let me try a bite) and the BBQ beef brisket taco were absolutely brilliant. I enjoyed these tacos very much; they were full of flavor. Although as stated before these tacos were small (but we did have them as an appetizer so it was ok) and they were around $3.25 each if I remember correctly. I would highly recommend trying out this food truck. The lady taking the orders was super nice, and upbeat. The time for them to cook the food wasn't too long at all maybe between 10-15 minutes. Price was decent since the food was unique and delicious. The only complaint I would really have is about their location, as stated before the location on yelp is wrong, check out their website to find out the correct location before adventuring out. read more

Definitely has a kick-ass Korean flair, TIN Kitchen is one of those rare treats that I should seek out more often! Clean, simply designed truck that serves some dynamic and flavorful Tacos, Quesadillas, and SLIDERS. My two favorite I have tried so far are the Pork Belly Taco and the Korean BBQ Slider. Both have a "30-minute kim chi" and both have this outstanding hoisin glaze. I should probably branch out on the menu a bit more but damn did they make a winner here! The brioche bun they serve their Korean BBQ slider on is beyond what you would expect from a food truck, I'd love to know their supplier. Want to track down TIN? More than likely they are hanging out at one of North Charlotte's breweries. They're one of the few truck teams that are likely in multiple locations at once because they have at least three trucks that I know of! You can go to their website, click on trucks, and see the calendar that's updated very frequently and shows where all the trucks will be. The other CLT trucks should really take note at how TIN is doing their calendar, it's perfect! Prices are a bit on the steep side, but you only live once. And if you haven't had that Korean BBQ slider yet and you're in CLT, well buddy you just simply ain't livin'! read more

3 tacos and a drink for $10. TIN Kitchen takes a limited menu and offers a great variety of flavors. On my first visit, I had a chana masala, Thai coconut shrimp and pork belly, plus a Barq's root beer. Colorful, delicious and filling. I liked the paper product container and will most certainly try the sliders on my next visit. No, these are not the least expensive food truck tacos you will find, but the presentation and flavors earn this place two strong thumbs up! read more

Blessed to enjoy this food truck two days in a row! I was at NoDa Brewing and experienced the delicious pork nachos. The green tomatillo sauce and goat cheese totally sold this for me! Crunchy chips, creamy goat cheese, spicy tomatillo hot sauce, with shredded pork. Awesome combo! The next afternoon we were shopping for Small Business Saturday and were happy to see the familiar truck parked outside Dudeapalooza in South End. The special was a salmon slider for $4 and wow it was worth every penny! Toasted crispy mini bun with a chunky salmon patty covered in micro greens and a dill sauce, lush! read more

I love the TIN Kitchen food truck. These guys ran the TK Cafe in my office building for several years, and it was a real treat to have them around! Luckily, I ran across their truck yesterday while doing some Galentines' Day-ing at NoDa Brewery! I had three tacos: the BBQ Beef Brisket, the Pork Belly, and the Cilantro Lime Shrimp. The BBQ Beef Brisket taco is a meal unto itself... it's absolutely stuffed with beefy goodness and a real mouthful of BBQ awesomeness... The Cilantro Lime Shrimp is packed with flavor and just a touch of spice... but the Pork Belly with their in house (in truck?) kim chi & housin glaze is my absolute favorite!! It's fatty and crunchy, hot and cold, sweet and spicy, just... YUM! In any case... I walked up chilly and hungry, got my food, and by the time I came up for air, I was fat and happy! Thanks TIN Kitchen! I still love you guys! read more

I was finally able to try the tin kitchen during food truck Friday. Boy am I glad we did! Between my wife and I (I always feel the need to clarify because of the large amount of food we order!), we tried nearly all of their tacos and a few of the sides. Chana masala taco - amazing flavor and definitely worth trying. The goat cheese puts this one over the top good. Chicken Tinga taco - in my opinion a fairly standard chicken taco but let me just say it was very good. I would definitely get it again next time. BBQ beef brisket taco - by far my favorite taco that I tried. The brisket is cooked just right and the flavor is out of this world. A must try! Thai coconut shrimp taco - this was my least favorite out of all that I tried. If I had gotten this by itself I'm sure I would have raved about it but it just didn't compare to the others in my opinion. Chips salsa - good but nothing to write home about. Charro beans - these had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. They went well with the tacos. All in all I had a great experience eating at the tin kitchen. I can wait to go back and try the nachos, sliders, and quesadillas! read more

Be adventurous but be warned. You might enjoy this truck you might regret it. I have a hard time pinning this down because some things I really liked, and other things I found interesting but not for me. I sampled three tacos: Cauliflower didn't do it for me, the dish could have otherwise done a good job but I just didn't get the texture I wanted. The flavor was close to what I had hoped for but there is something missing and I can't put my finger on it. Chana was prepared well and had more interesting choices. I liked it but it definitely isn't for everyone. I really liked the mouth feel of this item and they kept it all tied together well enough. I didn't get into my expected masala flavor groove. I am probably overly committed to tomatoes and onions. Pork belly was almost there, and the best of the tacos to end on. It had the right texture of the pork, but the sauce was a bit too heavy for me after the other two tacos. It was also the emptiest of the tacos and a real struggle to get pork belly in each bite. Price is another issue, I think other trucks can't fill you up for $ 6-8 but here you will be more likely to spend $10+. Three tacos for $10 is expensive, and the $3.50 each with a $.50 discount on three is weak. $9 for three tacos would make a difference to me because then I could consider that fourth taco or not. Conclusion: you will know with the first bite if Tin Kitchen's truck is for you. I found it interesting but I am not craving to go back as I am with some other trucks/carts I have rated here. If you like flavors that equally challenge and excite you then this is the place. If you just want comfort food then I can't recommend such an adventurous but dangerous place. read more

The Tin Kitchen has been around for some time & I can't believe it took me this long to try them. I had their pan fried scallop tacos the other evening & was very pleased. All the flavors combined in two tacos...mmm, I only wish the order came with more! While I enjoyed the chips, the accompanied salsa was not for me. I'm a traditional salsa gal & when I see salsa with beans & corn, I'm a little sad. I have no doubt that it didn't taste good, but I don't care for beans, period. The gentleman working the truck were very nice & quick with my order. The presentation was nice, too! Another plus: their prices. read more

Best food truck in Clt (or in other words - worth the wait!) The quesadilla is the most underrated item on the truck. I'm no quesadilla connoisseur but this is one of the best I've ever had.

Tin partnered with NoDa brewing for restaurant week: Awesome people made reservations for Sunday but they sat us anyways on a busy Saturday night! Super great Hot pistol: hot and spicy! But yummy! Will order another a large next time. Oyster stout: dark and a good stout. Nice dry Smokey stout. Breakfast stout coffee nice, under tone. Can I drink this for my morning coffee??? captain peanut butter slap your mama good. I love peanut butter!!! Strong ale: it's ok. Good for a strong ale. My husband feels different but delicious. Typical Chad beer- strong but good beer! Paired with: Chipotle smoked beef tartare: okay had better but it is a good truck. Soup flight Curried butternut squash super curry but I like it!!! Sherries shrimp bisque- that is yummy! Eyes rolling in the back of my head good. It's better than the she crab soup at 82 Queen from Charleston,SC. Miso ramen & pork belly ummm what the hell!! Buck week noodles with typical ramen packet flavoring. Give me a double order of shrimp bisque! Cast iron seared Scallops truffle white bean purée wild mushroom tarragon cream scallops too buttery, beans are strange, mushrooms are very mushroom, tarragon cream does not go well with it. Braised beef short ribs red wine Demi roasted root vegetables wilted Swiss chard: love it!!! Super rich tasty dish good with any stout, warm and oily on a cold night in a tent. Vanilla honeycomb cheesecake every cheesecake should have an Oreo crust! Dark brownie brownie & bing cherry brownie candies pecans Nutella whipped cream. Dame this is good. It's a must pair with captain peanut better stout!! read more

Tin Kitchen does it again! I almost always get the buffalo cauliflower salad from this truck on Wednesdays in Southpark. It's fresh, healthy, spicy and refreshing at the same time. Cauliflower is ultra flavorful and the celery root slaw is just different enough to be truly notable. One time I got a bad cup of blue cheese dressing on this salad but when I let the team know about it they apologized and offered my next salad on the house. Today I went for the chicken quesadilla combo. Wow! What delicious flavors!! Smokey roasty goodness. Well balanced and well executed quesadilla. Their cilantro rice side is like CRACK to me; I'd eat it by the trough if I could. Give these guys a try. They are kind and their food is a notch above that of many other trucks. read more

Changing my three stars to five. I've eaten here several times since my first visit and the service and food have been perfect every time. . . . You definitely can't find any other food like this around Charlotte. unique delicious menu items and plenty of vegetarian options. I got two tacos (shrimp and buffalo cauliflower) and three portobello mushroom sliders. The sliders were even better than I thought they'd be. Even my picky "meatatarian" boyfriend loved them which I consider a huge win. However both my tacos were cold and the tortillas were stale as hell. Not a big enough inconvenience to give up on them though so hopefully they'll be better next time I stop by. read more

TIN Kitchen at NoDa Brewery - what a perfect combination of delicious beers and tasty foods. During my last visit to NoDa, we needed to grab some dinner - TIN Kitchen to the rescue! I got a delicious grilled chicken wrap with goat cheese and some type of mango chutney - exceeded my expectations. My partner grabbed the veggie burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was helpful and the food only took about 15 minutes to prepare. Overall, anytime you see the TIN Kitchen, you can rest assured you will have some tasty bites to enjoy. read more

My boss took me to this place on their stop in NoDa. We ordered our tacos from truck (my first visit I had drunken chicken, my second time ever I had one of their specials) then went into the NoDa Brewery for some beer while waiting. The man brought our tacos into the brewery for us. The platter comes with two tacos and a small side. I got green rice, which is sooooo delicious. The tacos themselves were sheer heaven. The filling was delicious and was cooked perfectly. Needed some napkins as my drunken chicken taco was a little drippy, but I didn't care that I made a mess of myself. It was delicious and I was off the clock. I have a frequent visitor card to the Tin Kitchen and I fully intend on filling that card SOON. read more

First time at this food truck & I wasn't expecting tacos. I was pleasantly surprised. The crew are all friendly and the tacos were delicious. I had the drunken chicken and the scallop with the pickled vegetables..... and ummm.... I am ALL ABOUT those pickled veggies. I could eat the pickled veggies on their own at least once a day. I'm smiling over here as I type about them. They are fresh pickled and tangy awesomeness. Spicy though.... so if you're not into the hot stuff I'd skip over the jalapeno peppers. Anyway, I'm a fan. And I'll be back. read more

"The best restaurant in CLT is a food truck" My friend Matthew describes this new trendy taco truck to me. "They hands down have some of the best food CLT has to offer." Well this wasn't the first time I heard raving reviews about them. It just so happens while he was telling me this, I had booked them a few weeks prior for my Wedding Party. They can also be found outside the Observer, in NoDa, the Common Market south end Friday nights or Use them for Catering as we did. My wife and I are not very traditional, we had a Wedding Party a week after we were married and used the Tin Kitchen as our chefs. We wanted something different that had some great food. We decided to use The Tin kitchen, have Margarita's and Corona's match the predictable hot July day in CLT. We were referred to them by a family member and are glad we had a chance to use them. I was basically sold on three different aspects: 1) The food is amazing, my favorite was the Drunken Chicken WHAT A DELICIOUS TREAT!. (served with a side of Cilantro, Jalapeno Rice WOW!) 2) David and Charlie are very passionate about what they do and you can taste it in their food. . 3) The concept, Food trucks are trendy, laid back and a outside of the box approach for a party, and all the guests loved the idea Not only did they provide entrees but they also served some tasty hors d'oeuvres. They consisted of a tuna watermelon ( turns out tuna and Watermelon are meant to be together), Pork tenderloin (delicious), scallops and pineapple, chicken salad sandwiches and Mediterranean pasta salad which was my wife's fave!. Everyone involved was so pleasant and did a great job. On a side note I was just informed that they were booked by Google for the Democratic National Convention. Yeah they are that good. I mean come on if Google is booking them out of all the restaurants in CLT they are worth a try. Well congrats Tin Kitchen, My hat goes off to you guys and your food truck! I will definitely be seeing you guys soon. Be sure to Catch them on the road and I just realized I did not mention the Pork Belly Taco, WORTH MENTIONING! A Tin Kitchen Signature TACO! read more

Hard to believe I'm just now trying The Tin Kitchen but I am. Caught up with them at the Food Truck Friday in Southend. They had a lot of taco specials for the night but I went with one of their staples, the beef brisket taco. The brisket was tender and the sauce had a nice kick. Very flavorful dish. I had the pickled veggies on the side. Not bad but I wished there were more veggies, not just red peppers & onions. I'm looking forward to catching up with this truck again soon. read more

The gentleman running the truck was very VERY friendly (wow, someone who cares about customer service), the menu was delicious, food was reasonably priced and what we got more than surpassed what we paid. The special of the day was the Mahi Mahi taco (which my neighbor said was THE BEST meal he has had in Charlotte). It was a perfectly (coming from perfectionist Texan yee-haw neighbor Ryan, it was PERFECT) grilled piece of mahi, on a deliciously grilled tortilla with a piccata sauce and crispy anchovies topped with some fresh slaw that was still cool and crispy. The combination of the fish, the piccata and the slaw-chovies was better than anything he got in Texas (I will let you know what he says in response to this, because nothing is better than food in Texas). He loved the truck so much, he declared he will undoubtedly be back for more any chance he gets (for only 9 bucks). Other menu options included the gut bandit choice of Thai Shrimp Tacos - tender shrimp simmered in a Coconut Curry Broth topped with a crisp Thai Slaw - side of choice was beans and hot damn those beans were good. For 8 bucks, you can't get anything better in Charlotte. Plus, you don't have to wait a decade for someone to notice your drinks are gone and you have been begging them for your bill. http://gutcharlotte.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/the-gut-awakens-thanks-to-the-tin-kitchen-food-truck/ read more

This was our second time eating here and it was definitely better than the first time we ate here! The first time we ordered the nachos and really there wasn't anything special about them. This second time we ordered shrimp, pork belly and carne Asada tacos as well as the four cheese quesadilla and everything was pretty good! We were hesitant to order from here a second time and were just gonna go somewhere else but I'm glad we gave them another shot. I would eat here again depending on what other food truck options we had. read more

I first tried the Tin Kitchen at the Tread the Thread 5K race down at the Anne Close Springs Green-way and had the pork taco. It was freaking AWESOME! The guys did a great job handling a huge crowd (100+ people) while still maintain quality. I just ate here for lunch at the Tryon & Morehead location in-front of the Catawba Lands Conservancy office. I had the salmon taco with pineapple pico and cilantro-jalapeno rice. Again, it was an excellent lunch. Want to give a BIG thank you btw to these guys. I didn't' read the dish entirely and missed that it came with an aioli sauce. I can't eat aioli due to a food allergy, so I was disappointed at myself when I got my lunch. Explained to the guy I needed to order another taco, but without the sauce. Even though I offered to pay, he gave me the new order for free. PEOPLE, THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! Couple things about the food..... yes the shell is slightly oily, but crisp. It is a bit pricy for my normal lunch budget / amount of food, but I realize I am paying for quality not quantity here. The rice is good, but didn't have any jalapeno flavor at all..... I was actually grateful for this since I am not a fan of spicy. Looking forward to them coming by my office again next Tuesday. read more

Yay for the Tin Kitchen. The location of my place of employment leaves much to be desired when it comes to food options. So it's a welcome change when the Tin Kitchen food truck comes to our corporate park on Fridays for lunch. The menu has something for everyone - from the meat lover to the veggie lover. On my last visit, I got the Blackened Tilapia. Boy, it was good! The guys are so friendly! And you can tell that care was taken for each order - their mise en place must be meticulous because the tacos come out so beautiful. Yes, tacos can be presented beautifully! Looking forward to next week! read more

What a clever name! I've seen these guys work in pairs or as many as a team of 4 or 5. They hustle! Last week at the Food Truck Friday event, there was a super long line for their tacos. Side note, it was one of those nights that it paid to eat dessert first from Sticks and Cones to hold me over while waiting to order. Once I got up to the front, I was greeted with a friendly smile as if I were their very first customer. Their tacos are made fresh to order. You get two in a corn tortilla with a side. I typically get their jalapeño rice and it's tasty. They also offer spicy pickled veggies and if you like a kick, you'll definitely get that. The tacos are good with their own special combinations and spins. I tried the scallop and cauliflower special last time and while creative, I decided cauliflower doesn't quite fit in tacos for my liking. Hubs ordered the veggie tacos and enjoyed each bite. These guys do a great job from taking your order to handing over your food. Try them out! read more

I'm not really sure how I overlooked these guys in past reviews. They are, by far, my favorite food truck vendor in Charlotte! I'm a fan of the nachos, the quesadillas, and several of the tacos. They even run some pretty awesome rotating specials. The food has an eclectic twist, offering a modern take on Mexican inspired cuisine. I like food with a kick, and these guys deliver! I first discovered their original truck when it was a regular Thursday night contender between the original Noda Brewery and Birdsong Brewery. They've since expanded, and now I frequent one of their newer trailers that is a weekend regular at Sycamore Brewing, right off the rail trail. The staff is super nice, and they, of course have the modern mobile ability to accept credit/debit cards from their trucks. The food is delicious, and always pairs great with an ice cold beer. Be sure to check them out if you have the chance! I go every chance I get! read more

Wow! What can I say... I really really enjoyed my tacos. Apparently The Tin Kitchen comes to our corporate campus every Friday -- WHO KNEW??? NOT I! And damn happy that I do now. Let me tell you this, for a fusion taco truck to come rolling up out of the blue in corporate center hell, it made me pinch myself. And then to be slapped across the face by those smells that came from the truck--man was I in awe. I usually brown bag it as the food they serve here is not worth the money... bland as hell, but now I know when and where I will be shelling out some dough -- Friday's baby, that's when and it going to be go to the Tin Kitchen! These guys are super nice and accommodating! I left with my food in hand and a smile knowing they really care about their product and customer service. I had the "Smoked Salmon Tacos-Flash seared smoked salmon, cilantro-japanese rice, pineapple pico de gallo, & cilantro lime aioli" At first, when I was reading the menu, I thought to myself there were to many flavors going on... but I was sold on smoked salmon and said what the hell! Let me tell you.. I was completely wrong.. the layering of these flavors hit a home run. From the homemade tortillas, to the pico de gallo (they actually know what that is and how it should be prepared) I was truly in heaven. Now don't expect anything to be Mexican because they use the word 'taco" -- that is just the vessel of how it is going to get into your mouth.. this is completely fusion. A fresh look at an old favorite. Tomorrow is Friday and you can bet on where I will be come noon... getting me some Tin Kitchen on! read more

While in town visiting my family, my sister told me about this taco truck she wanted to go to. I'm pretty much game for anything, so I said sure. We hopped in the car and a short car ride later, she turned a corner and said "there it is!" Up ahead, gleaming gloriously in the sun, was the silver taco truck known as the Tin Kitchen. As soon as we parked and got out, I could smell the amazingness. The guys greeted us as we walked up and I immediately noticed how hot they were (bonus points for that lol). I looked over the menu and decided to go with their special taco for the day: a jerk chicken taco. We went inside of the brewery to wait while the tacos were being cooked up. My sister went out and grabbed our tacos and set down the clear plastic container in front of me. I opened it up and took in the smell that wafted up. I practically drooled all over the table. The taco was so perfectly spiced and all the flavors worked together in perfect harmony. The green rice side dish was also heavenly. I definitely know that this is a truck we'll have to find every time I come down to visit. read more
