This was such a satisfying meal! I got the fried fish (tilapia) and it was perfectly seasoned, crispy and fresh. The rice and plantains were perfect as well. I liked the sauce that came it, and although it was spicy, it wasn't overwhelming. The spicy noodles and chicken were also delicious, just be prepared for the spice. I believe this truck has been open for 2 years, and I hope they have many more years of success! The employees are so kind and efficient. I could eat this food every day if I lived in Winston-Salem! read more

I saw this food truck parked in a yard across from the Enterprise Center when I left Kermit's last week. I thought, "oooohhh, when are they hitting the streets?"! Well, they're here. I happen to stumble across their launch announcement on Facebook and made it my business to go and give it a try. As an African American with ZERO cultural ties to my ancestral home, I've been super eager to try West African cuisine. African Avenue is a bright orange food truck that sits next to the McDonald's on the Perimeter of Hanes Mall. There's safe and easy access with plenty of parking. I approached the food truck and was greeted by a friendly lady. They have a small menu, but his is a plus for me as it leaves less room for me to be indecisive! I ordered a few things. A meat pie, Bissop, and the Jollof (red rice) and Goat that's served with a side of fried plantain. The meat pie had a sweet and flaky crust. It was filled with seasoned ground meat (unsure what kind) potatoes, and carrots. It was very flaky and easy to eat. It was delicious. The Bissop is a Hibiscus drink. It wasn't as sweet as Sorrel, but was spiced and ginger forward. It was refreshing. The Jollof rice was spicy and flavorful. EVERY grain of rice had absorbed the tomatobase and seasonings. The GOAT was tender and seasoned well.The plantain was semi sweet. Overall a great dish. It only took about 4 minutes to receive my food. I waited until I got home to eat because there's no seating and I had my toddler in the car. The food was cold by the time I arrived and it was only a 15 minute drive. I can't wait to go back to try the Eguisi and pounded yam! Reasonable prices and great portions! Go check them out and try something new!! read more

They had real pepper sauce that I haven't had in years, was nostalgic. Saw this on my way into Walmart and thought "I haven't had a GOOD meal today"; they did not disappoint. Touched a part of my childhood and reminded me of my parents cooking. Me and my buddy were just talking about our satisfaction the entire meal. PLEASE BE MORE GENEROUS WITH THE NAPKINS. I was going in on the SPICY NOODLES and my face is tingling from the pepper sauce. read more

I recently visited the food truck and had high hopes from an advertisement on TikTok. I ordered the egusi (melon) stew with goat meat, bon bon, and plantains. Everything that was fried tasted like it was fried hours ago and refried to order ( over powering oiliness taste). The plantains were not sweet and again had the taste of oil. The egusi stew had oil sitting on top of the stews surface and made me and my friend sick! We couldn't finish our portions because of this. read more

African Avenue - Chicken and fries - African Near Me

I love this food truck. Food is amazing and authentic. The workers are nice and friendly.

Drove from Durham only to realize they were at a school event, I do not frequent sm so I was not aware. Returned the following week bc I really wanted some good Nigerian food; ordered the efo riro soup w poundo was going to get puff puffs but I wanted them fresh and hot, they are not cooked to order so I passed eem though the gentleman said they were still hot n fresh. I also intended to order meat pies but they were not available. Paid $29 for five pieces of goat and soup, this is typically served w chicken per their ad but if eaten chicken two days in a row and truthfully only like my soup w goat when possible, it was hot and tasty but the meat portion was disappointing for the price--oxtails ribeye prime rib seafoods at this price I get but five tiny pieces of goat for $29 ⁉w what is essentially spinach spices and let's say an equivalent to mash potatoes though it is a pounded root veggie is a very hardt NO⁉ At this price point if African Avenue is going to skimp on goat @ least add jollof rice and plantains to make the meal *cost* make sense! In fairness, when I asked about the meat portion the man told me five nice size pieces idk what he considers nice sized..I do know you can get varying cuts of goat so I trusted he meant satiable nice size portions only to get home and open my food to bite sized portions Oo I was sooo disappointed that was a decent prime rib meal @ Texas Roadhouse or something, there is a different review w a pic of the goat meat and that's exactly about what I was served w my spicy stew and fufu...maybe I'll give them another chance when they come to my area perhaps they read their reviews but to drive for it--issa pass for me. read more

5 puff puff for $5 is wild and completely a rip off to especially considering the size of the baby puff puff! Puff puff is usually $.50 sometimes less. The least they can do is make it 2 for $1. The food is just ok!! My friend, husband and I ordered jollof rice, egusi w/poundo, fried rice, fish, plantain, bissap, and shamwara. Being Nigerias, We were so excited when we heard about the food truck but sadly we all independently said we will not be returning. Pricing just doesn't make sense for the taste and the quantity of food you get! 3 stars for the taste of food and price. Edit to add your really better off to go to MamaPut African(Nigerian) restaurant in Greensboro! Better pricing and better tasting! Trust me you won't be disappointed! read more
