    This is a review for the food truck that was selling food at a UC San Diego event. The burger and the pulled pork sandwich was okay; would have preferred my buns for both sandwiches to be toasted -- this sets you apart from all the other places that serve cold buns. Also wish the little tray of waffle fries was bigger.

    The suite at Liberty Public Market that used to house Stuffed! is now the brick and mortar location of the American Flavors food truck. They have a similar but slightly smaller menu than what the truck offers. Burgers, hot dogs, and hot sandwiches (chicken, pulled pork) were the featured items. All of the hamburgers are served with two all-natural Angus beef patties and two slices of cheese so you are getting a lot of meat and paying a commensurate price. I picked the Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of seasoned waffle fries ($12). The smoked pulled pork came with a couple of pieces of bacon topped with a BBQ sauce, pickles, and a house-made slaw. The sauce was more sweet than tangy, but it complemented the moist pork very well. The waffle fries were addictive as I could have eaten a large basket of them. For quality and value, I gave this experience a 3.5 star rating.

    The first signs of disappointment in my "Blue bacon burger"

    Well... In all my years I've never had bad or disgusting food off a truck until today. I really don't know where to start. I ordered up The "Blue bacon burger" Which List out what's on it, blue cheese crumbles, Bacon, spring mix, onions, tomatoes. The burger turned out to be more of a vegetarian burger with blue cheese spread. There wasn't any bacon that I could see or taste and there wasn't much of a meat patty at all. The meat Patty reminded me of a big Mac that you buy at McDonald's very thin and very small. It was more of a vegetarian blue cheese burger because the only thing you could taste was the blue cheese spread extremely overpowering and I like blue cheese. Then let's move onto the price. it's listed out at $12.50 but when I paid the total was $14.22 which of course I didn't realize until after I paid. (My Fault, I should've had them cancel it right there) I just got the burger no sides which means they charged an extra dollar for The privilege of me using my credit card. I wish that was posted or explained to me so I could've paid cash! I definitely am soured on the food truck experience now and won't be going back to a food truck for a very long time. I could've got a sandwich from inside my work for third of the price.

    Irresistible fries!

    It doesn't get any better than this! We had a little community gathering and they RAVED about the fries and all the food! Ornela was great when coordinating and I could tell she was busy but made time to make sure we were set for our event and even moved some things around to make sure we had the right truck! They got to the event ahead of schedule, set up was fast, they helped us organize the tickets efforts so we kept count along the way of how many guests we were serving and it was a HUGE HIT! My whole team (Team Kolker Real Estate) is looking forward to more events with their food trucks in the future!

    Daily special! Pulled pork sandwich with sriracha aioli with a side of truck made chips!
    Justin A.

    Wow, this food truck really changed my mind about how pulled pork sandwiches should be! Another food truck that came to my workplace, American Flavors was a new sight here. Expect to spend around $10-15 on a sandwich or burger along with some fries. I ended up getting the daily special which was a pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun with Sriracha aioli which also came with truck made chips. This pulled pork sandwiches was bar none, the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. The pork was cut into thick chunks that were charred and smokey like a perfectly grilled rack of barbecue, stripped off the bone and cut up into amazing pulled pork. Throw in thick little bacon bits and you've got a sandwich made in heaven. I only give four stars, I would give 4.5 if I could because the chips were not as amazing as the pulled pork sandwich. I wanted to delve into the mystery of their truck made criss-cut fries but for an extra $3? My frugal self could not push myself to do it. Next time, I'm getting a grilled cheese pulled pork sandwich, YES CHEESE WITH THIS SANDWICH, I know I'm already excited too.

    The chip were a bonus  yeah!

    Today I tried there sliders and they were a mouth full! The first one was the chicken sliders and it came with a soft slider bun with blue cheese and buffalo sauce sooo yummy , the the slider I got was the pulled pork with bacon OMG it was sooo tasty and full of bacon and love , the tasty slider completely took me for a falling in love again with BBQ pulled pork sandwich I had back in high school high , wow that's how I felt so I'm happy excellent customer service and food I'll be back !

We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

The staff was very gracious in the face of the huge crowd and a mountain of orders. The location is spacious with plenty of room to line up and tables to sit and eat or wait on orders. The parking was easy too which was a bonus. For food we got two orders of the big greedy with yams, greens, baked beans and the new mushroom rice. I will stress that everything was excellent and we would get this exact order again, but a few particular standouts were 1) Fried Catfish. Our favorite protein by far. It was deliciously seasoned, perfectly fried, and succulently tender, 2) Candied Yams. They were sweet, tender and nicely balanced, 3) Mushroom Parmesan Rice. We only tried this because so many of the other sides were sold out and man are we glad we did. Our family tore this side up! The mushroom parm gravy was smooth and creamy with large chunks of mushroom. Definitely a great addition to the sides list. Our family can't wait to go back and try more of what CBB has to offer. So glad they've got a brick and mortar restaurant now!

The reason why I'm giving it a 2 star because the food was salty. I ordered the two protein combo, catfish fillet, 3 wings, and two sides (collard greens and rice and gravy). I only ate a quarter of the collard greens because it was extremely salty and the turkey was dry. Both the catfish and wings were also salty and the flavor was not to my liking. The rice wasn't fully cooked. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. :(

Wish bacon was more crispy but man this side dish was my meal and such a treat. Hubby said burger was dry but he went back and asked for Mayo and that helped he said. No hot sauce, he wanted something spicy. The Mexican food truck had some they let him have. That was nice. Daughter did not like the grilled cheese. We all tried it and it was way too oily tasting. But we aren't a fan of sourdough. Still it was really oily. The Mac n cheese on the grilled cheese didnt have flavor. Just more oily taste. We didn't eat it. But heads up if you like these type of grilled cheese you'll like it. A lot of places serve them oily and on sourdough like Panera bread etc. So just because we don't like that style doesnt meant you won't. She ate a lot of my fries and hubby went back and got another burger and she ate half. So all good. The fried Oreos weren't that good sadly. No crispy to it. More just soft and sugary. We like the crispy outer layer type. Will 100% bee line to this truck for the fries though. Sadly no tots. Would love to try the tots one day. I've asked the kids school to please bring this truck back for their school event. They use to have it but didnt last year. Well just got the line up for this year, they'll be back!!!! Gonna recommend ppl go get the fries, so good!!!!! Hope they have tots this year. If so we will get both!!!!! And I know my son will get the burger. Can't wait!!!! Sorry didn't get photos because it was dark and where we sat had no light.

The ingredient balance was perfect, unlike other breakfast burritos I've had elsewhere, which often skimp on protein. The owner, a true New Yorker, is exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to--he's been softened by California, I'd say. I wholeheartedly recommend their business and urge you to support this local gem of a food truck. Make sure to follow them on IG for their current location!

Half a dozen oysters with shrimp (maybe ceviche/aguachile) and some type of salsa. They come in a nice little bed of ice to keep them cool, they hit the spot on a warm day. I saved the last one towards the end of our meal because I was sad it was coming to an end. Definitely my favorite item of this trip. We also shared a large shrimp cocktail, fish flautas and Clamato. Shrimp cocktail had the perfect seasonings, salty and hint of sweet. Large is good as 1 meal or to share if trying different things. The fish flautas were good, they come with a fried fish inside. Not one of my top items of today but still good to try. The Clamato was so refreshing! Size is big for sharing, great flavor. Everything tasted very fresh which is so important, especially with the oysters. Staff was friendly and super welcoming! $66 for everything was decently priced 2 people sharing. Will definitely be visiting these guys again. *parking & seating - there are high tables and counter to eat on but no chairs. We park at the liquor store since it's a quick trip but there is also street parking.
