The concept reimagines Vietnamese style rice paper rolls with unconventional, flavorful fillings and specialized sauces.  The rolls are fresh, tasty, and "packed" with ingredients. Popular, unique options include Chicken Caesar with approximately 22 gram of protein, Spicy Tuna, Smoked Salmon, Prosciutto, and shrimp. They creative combinations like smoked salmon with horseradish cream cheese or prosciutto with mozzarella. The menu is gluten free, and roughly half of the options are vegan like roasted eggplant. Kaleido Rolls is highly recommended for those looking for a light, healthy, and high-quality lunch or snack, particularly if you are in the Newport Beach area and want a fresh alternative to heavier, fried, or fast-food options.

Their rolls are quite pricey, at $9.75/piece or 2 rolls for $18. This was quite a price difference from what I have seen from their Chicago menu. You can also sample rolls as you browse their menu. I ordered the shrimp and prosciutto rolls. They offer peanut sauce, hot sauce, and I forgot the 3rd sauce. The staff was friendly and food came out within 10 minutes. Since it is within a food court, there are tables that accommodate parties of varying size in a well-lit area. The rolls were okay. I hate that they used paper as part of their packaging as the rolls stuck to them. I did not think the price was justified given exceptional rolls in O.C. at half the price.

    Wow! I am in love with this birria truck. First things first, the address on Yelp is not the right…read moreone. They're not there anymore. They're at 16592 Hale Ave, Irvine. By the District. Make sure you go to the right location. There's plenty of street parking. It is a truck, so no seats or tables, but that's not an issue, just eat in your car LOL. Now the food....one of the best birria I've had. I ordered 2 crunchy tacos with cheese. They were sooooo good. Perfect amount of cheese, meat and the tortilla was crispy just how I like it. The consome, wow! It was very flavorful, tasted like actual consome. Other places it'll either taste like too many condiments/spices or watered down. This one though was 100% consome. I don't dip my tacos, I sip on my consome, so I did add a little lime, but still was able to taste how good the actual broth was. I didn't try the green salsa, but my bf liked it, he said it wasn't spicy. The red one, I did try, and it was perfect for me. It has a little kick at first, but then it's not too bad. Really good salsa though. Highly recommend the red for the tacos. They also have Mexican sodas, Coke, Sprite, Jarritos, and I forgot what else. The service is great. Didn't get his name, but he was really nice and friendly. We just went yesterday, but planning on going back today.

    I cannot tell you how great these were! Let me tell you…read moreabout cinco de mayo and taco Tuesday this year when we finally decided to try this food truck that we see every week by the district and always say--'we need to try it' Finally! Omg so upset we took so long to try. I went after work and messaged thru instagram to find out where he was located. In the bend behind where you usually see him. So got the tacos for my boyfriend and I got the quesadilla. Absolutely delicious. Moist and flavorful couldn't get enough. All the sides and fixins! Such a pleasant owner too. I cannot recommend more and can't wait to take my friend on lunch soon. Thank you for a wonderful dinner that night! Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone!

    If you're living that birria life, Delicias El Torito is your deal. Coupled with warm, friendly…read moreservice and the convenience of having delicious food just steps from your home (because it's a food truck), this is a high recommendation for trying them out. THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Birria Quesadilla | Incredibly juicy and flavorful birria meat with cheese, diced onions, and cilantro, all stuffed into a warm flour tortilla. It comes with a side salad, a few wedges of lemon for zesty vibes, and birria consomé (sauce) which is so good, it's drinkable on its own. Order this with no regrets. - Birria Nachos | Similar to the Birria Quesadilla, but with warm tortilla chips, crema, and jalapeños added. Great meal on its own. - Chicken Enchiladas Plate | Shredded chicken with cheese and green sauce; crema is drizzled on top. It comes with a side salad, spanish rice, and refried beans (a few tortilla chips are planted in for kicks). I really enjoyed this meal; everything was made to my liking. - Fried Banana | Sweet, warm banana slices that fall apart in your mouth. A side of sweet cream and fruit jelly further enhance this sugary treat. THE DRINKS DRUNK. - Horchata | One of the best I've had. The horchata was a perfect blend of rice milk and cinnamon. Consistency was slightly thicker than water and honestly, this is a rarity because I usually encounter watered-down horchata from other places before. THE VIBE EVOCATION. - Homey vibes. Their bright green food truck is quite eye-catching and I love the picture menu splashed across the side. THE RETURN QUANDARY. - Come back!!! I've been low-key waiting for this food truck to return for a minute.

We tried the asada nachos, chicken, and carne asada tacos. They were all delicious and covered with toppings, they did not skimp on anything. I highly recommend you give this food truck a try if you're lucky enough to catch it!

    We visited on Father's Day, so we expected a crowd, and this place definitely delivered one!…read moreParking was probably the biggest challenge of the day. The lot was full, and the line stretched past the front patio and onto the sidewalk. We ended up parking a couple of blocks away and walking over. Despite the long line, it moved at a reasonable pace. One thing that helped was being able to grab drinks from the bar while we waited. They have a great selection of beers and seltzers, and it looked like a lot of people were picking up to-go orders as well. For our meal, we ordered the 4-6 person platter, which included beef cheek, tri-tip, ribs, sausage, chicken, pulled pork, six sides, cornbread, rolls, and pickles. We also added the 5-cheese mac and cheese. Everything was flavorful and there was more than enough food for our group. The sides were excellent. We tried the pit beans, pee wee potato salad, carne con chile, farro salad, and wild rice salad. My favorite was the warm potato salad with mustard, brown butter, capers, and dill...it was unique and absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers lots of seating with outdoor dining areas both in the front and back. They also have a private room with windows overlooking the main dining room. During our visit, it was hosting a private party of about 20 people. The kids loved their root beer floats, and by the end of the meal we were way too full to even consider dessert. That's definitely something we'll have to come back and try next time. Overall, the food was worth the wait, the atmosphere was lively, the world cup was playing on the tvs and even on one of the busiest days of the year the staff kept things moving smoothly. We'll definitely be back.
