    Swamp Fries
    Matt P.

    My first true introduction to vegan food and I was quite impressed. I got food from the Vegan Gator food truck when it came to North Florida Regional Medical Center one day at lunch. I ordered the Swamp Fries, which are french fries smothered in cajun seasoning, buffalo sauce, cheese sauce, green onions, and herbs. It was the perfect combination of crispy, crunchy, creamy, and savory flavors. I would definitely them order again, as well as try other things from the Vegan Gator menu.

    Siiikedelick Shroom Burger + Swamp Fries
    Jordann G.

    Friendly service and super quick despite the growing line when we visited. The Siiikedelick Mushroom Burger - one of the BEST vegan burgers I've had! It's hard to mess up a burger and even harder to make one noteworthy, and the sauteed mushrooms + mushroom gravy are what make this burger really stand out. Absolutely DRENCHED in deliciousness. Even if you're not the biggest fan of mushrooms, I think you'll still love this one. The Swamp Fries are basically buffalo smothered style fries with a hint of some Cajun kick so if you're a fan of spice and buffalo flavor, you can't go wrong with em. I think the poutine fries may have paired well better with my burger - will find out next time we're in town!

    I wanted to love this food truck but the fries I got just didn't have a lot of flavor. I got the poutine fries and it was pretty bland. I wish I had gotten the truffle or Cajun fries, because those would probably have had more taste. I got a rosemary blueberry lemonade. It was a flavor combination that I've never had before. I thought that was pretty good and refreshing.

    The Silikedelic Mushroom Burger

    The food truck came to my apartment complex and I decided to check it out. The Mushroom burger was really good and the patty tasted better than an Impossible patty. The burger was saucy, but a little salty. The swamp fries were very interesting and had a vegan cheese that was more of a sauce. I wish it had more of the vegan buffalo sauce, but it was still really tasty. For both, I paid about $20 so it was a little pricey, but I'm glad to support a local owned business. The people were really nice and I could tell they work hard serving in a timely manner in a food truck.

    VEGAN SHRIMP this mouthwatering "old bay shrimp poutine" was beyond my wildest vegan dreams. I still don't know how they made it taste just like shrimp. If you're ever in Gainesville make Vegan Gator the first stop on your list

    Surf & Turf burger
    Chase W.

    Found this new restaurant and was blown away. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a man (I assume he's the owner) he was very friendly and the service was great, he helped describe some of the items on the menu. The portion sizes were fantastic and the flavors were phenomenal! Our order was freshly made in under 15 minutes. I got the Surf & Turf burger and the shrimp were so realistic looking. My friend got the Siiikedelik Mushroom Burger and he said that it was one of the best vegan burgers he's ever had, I would have to say the same for mine as well. We also got the White Truffle & rosemary fries and WOW were they good! The garlic aioli on top of the fries was what made the fries so delicious. Definitely will be going back to try some of the other options on the menu. 10/10 recommend!

    This is GREAT vegan food from a food truck! I'm so impressed by the amount of vegan options there are in Gainesville. Their poutine fries are just amazing and so delectable! They have tons of new items weekly/monthly and sell out quick! I'm still dying to try their Chick'n Sandwich.

    Some of the best vegan food I've tried in town. We got the Siikadelic mushroom burger, the Veganator Patty Melt and the Poutine Fries. I recommend going back and trying everything on this menu!

    Cauliflower wings- the BEST I HAVE EVER HAS, DAMN

    I'm am visiting Gainseville and came across this food truck. Nicest dude in the world behind the counter. The food here.... this is quite possibly the best vegan food (or food in general) I have ever had. THIS MAN CAN COOK and I am seriously considering moving here just so I can eat at this man's truck! THIS IS INSANELY DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Had the cauliflower wings and cowboy burger. Can't upload a picture of the burger because it's ALREADY IN MY STOMACH!!! GO EAT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!

    I can honestly say I've had really bad luck in this place. Not only does the service take forever,…read morebut also it is just crappy food. I just think they don't try hard enough, the people working there perhaps are not properly trained, paid or it just comes all the way from the top. I went there to give them a second chance since I had previously tried them about a year ago and I thought the food was not good back then, but maybe since they have been open long enough, maybe it was that one thing I had. Well I was wrong, I ordered just some appetizers, not even a full meal or anything and they took almost an hour to bring it out!! I didn't want to complaint so I just took my food to go and left, but when I got home the mandocas I ordered were terrible, tasted like they just reheated them and didn't even have cheese or nata which is what they should come with, or how they are served in any Venezuelan place you go to. On top of that, I had asked for cilantro sauce for the tequeños, they said it was in the bag, and when I got home they just put garlic sauce in there!! I didn't even eat, what a waste of money and energy to go there. Terrible experience, I don't recommend the headache to anyone, it's just not worthy. Unfortunately.

    Staff was great and friendly, we came early on a Saturday morning.

They do also have an ice cream business so its pretty nice if you want to eat an arepa and then stay for dessert.

Every…read moresingle thing that hit our table was a flavor explosion, but I have to give a standing ovation to the pollo a la plancha juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to absolute perfection. It's the kind of dish you take one bite of and immediately plot your next visit. And the side dishes...oh my goodness. Usually you have a "favorite" side and a "meh" side, but here, every single one was a star in its own right. Creamy, vibrant, tangy, savory, each had its own personality and every bite made me do a little happy dance. Honestly, it's rare to find a place where the sides are just as memorable as the main course, but Tinker nails it. The atmosphere was warm, the service was wonderful, and by the end of the meal everyone basically grinning like a kid at their birthday party. The Tres Leche cake was insanely good! If you haven't been yet, go. And if you have you already know you're overdue for another plate! It was really that good!

I've driven by many times and through the smoked glass it looked like chairs or something else was stored behind it and I though it had closed.The service was very good, prompt but not over attentive! The selection of Beers was outstanding! I had a starter of what was billed as Chupe De Pollo, (chicken chowder), it had very thick broth and was chocked full of chicken. Chicken breast was used and although there was a lot it was very dry and the broth was more like a heavy veloute. It also did not have much flavor. I won't be ordering that a again. My wife and I had Empanadas, mine was shredded beef and hers shredded chicken. I could have used a bit more sauce for dipping. The shell was quite crisp but not greasy. But all and all it was good. Our friend had the vegetarian arepas and let me taste some, it was quite good. She finished the whole dish! We also shared the loaded fries which came out hot with an interesting sauce drizzled over it. We didn't have the bacon on it as our friend is vegetarian. That would have made it even better for me. All in all it was a fun experience and we'll be going back.
