Customer Reviews
I’d give this place extra stars if I could! The food was fantastic. The service was so kind and friendly and the location is very pleasant. Very nice tables in a quiet area. This is truly a gem. The menu changes often so you just tell them what you’re in the mood for and you will not be disappointed.
This place was on my must-try list, and it didn’t disappoint! Chef Elmy and his team are incredibly courteous — he even offered me a warm bowl of soup while taking my order. His truck proudly says “no processed food,” and he truly stands by it. The gyro meat was flavorful, the sides were amazing (especially the roasted eggplant), and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The truck’s motto, “The Art of Cooking,” really shines through his food. Chef Elmy may be straightforward, but he’s passionate and wants you to truly enjoy his world of flavors. Highly recommend stopping by!
Chef Elmy, Mia and Javi had everyone at the food truck smiling and giggling. Delicious, Hot brothy mushroom soup, before you even order! Such wonderful people; such out of this world food!! So so so good. They really take care of you here! True artists who bring delight to everyone who stumbles upon them at this tucked away spot.
Chef elmy changed our lives. I walked up to the truck and was immediately greeted with a hot bowl of vegetable soup. Hardly any words were exchanged but an offering was given so quickly. I immediately could read his desire to feed and care for the people who eat his food. We didn’t really order, he just asked if chicken and gyro were good so we said of course. Moments later he comes back with generously portioned and beautifully plated meals. He told us to eat then pay after. He also gave us a couple of waters. Mind you, water, entree, soup all was $16 ea. Elmy is humorous, sweet, and generous. I would recommend this place to anyone. Such delicious and flavorful food too! There were some folding tables and chairs outside of the food truck shaded by the trees.
Wow, I was completely blown away by my experience here. The food was spectacular, the service was phenomenal, and the overall experience was legendary. Before I could order, he handed me a bowl of soup..I said I did not order yet and he said this is your medicine. I am not sure what was in the soup but it was delicious. I got the falafel, and the portions were huge! The guy(owner?) was the kindest, funniest, and most humble man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I did not think I could eat it all but I gladly stuffed it all in. I am crushed that it took me this long to visit this truck, but now I will be coming back at least once a week. I give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend.
