    Buffalo Chicken Fries $10

    Nice and hot, good amount of food for the price. This is the $10 buffalo chicken fries. They also do bowl sized portions but the price wasn't listed. A sign said they charge a credit card fee of .50 for orders under $17, and $1 for more than $17.

    Garlic Chicken Plate ($8.50) and Fire Fries ($5)
    Vanna S.

    So, I first found Aunty Lynne's food truck at the Surf Dog competition in Imperial Beach. Having had Hawaii withdrawals, I saw they have sort of a Hawaiian fusion menu. I tried the Garlic Chicken Bowl ($5 - comes with rice and broccoli) and it was DELICIOUS!!! It reminded me of my favorite garlic chicken dish in Oahu. I asked the man who was working where else I can find the food truck and I followed them later to the Food Truck Fridays event at Balboa Park. It wasn't surprising that there was a long line waiting to order. That day, I ordered the Garlic Chicken plate ($8.50 - comes with a side salad, rice, and macaroni salad) and the Fire Fries ($5). The Garlic Chicken is so crispy and filled with lots of flavor! I like that there isn't actual garlic pieces in the chicken, but you can still taste the garlic and it's not overpowering. I probably shouldn't but I could probably eat it everyday. The Fire Fries were good but could be better. I really loved the Cajun seasoning; it was savory, spicy, and sweet. I want a jar of it! I just found it disappointing that the fries weren't fully coated and the seasoning kept falling off of the fries. I would recommend this food truck! I received good service the two times I was here. Aunty Lynne's is also affordable for the amount of food they give. I hope they continue to be in business for years so that I can have them cater my future parties! :)

    Terrible service. Literally took an hour AND a half for my kids to order and get their food. I had to wait to get mine and now I've been in line an hour and haven't ordered. I'd like to go someplace else but they have a monopoly on the hot food for an outdoor event. The kids said the food was worth the wait. Probably it was. Chicken nuggets drizzled (not smothered or fully covered) with appropriately ordered sauce. I've not ordered. Still. But I'm bored and writing this review while I wait. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt with an extra star than I normally would rate due to SSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW service. It's freaking cold. Brrrr UPDATE: I got my food at 8:51pm -- I got into line at 7:20. I really wanted to like the food and the customer service when they were speaking with me. They weren't rude, but didn't thank me, offered no napkins or forks or condiments. We had to go back twice for mustard, fork, salt, napkins, and a straw. The garlic chicken tasted like pre-cooked warmed up chicken nuggets with minced garlic just put on like salt. I gave this away and ordered a corn dog just in case one of us was still hungry (wasn't about to stand in line again). Fries were typical. Not bad. More potato-y than oily. Just for that, I'll leave the 3 star intact. The corn dog was yummy, though typical and pre-made, theyNOT like the regular frozen ones., they were a tad bigger. I'll give them a third chance (they were here last year, at Santee Lakes).

    While I was practicing my golf swing at the driving range one day, I turned around to see a food truck pull up next to the pro shop. I noticed it was an "Island/Asian Fusion" sorta truck. Being that it was a really warm day the first thing I noticed was that they sold shave ice and smoothies. So as soon as I was done pretending to be Tiger Woods, I made my way to the food truck. I was going to just order a smoothie but then I noticed that they also served hot food as well. I'm a sucker for carne asada fries and they had about six different kinds of "fries". From the traditional carne asada fries to Korean BBQ fries. I asked what their specialty was and the friendly lady (who I assumed was Aunty Lynne) told me the Korean BBQ fries were probably their most popular. So that's what I went with. I still also wanted a smoothie so again I asked what she'd recommend. She said the Peanut Butter Cup smoothie was a winner. So I added that to the order. Both the fries and smoothie were delicious. I tore through those KBBQ fries like I hadn't eaten in weeks. And the smoothie was really good, too. Although, I think calling it a Peanut Butter Cup smoothie is a bit misleading. It's actually more of a peanut butter, chocolate, and banana smoothie. The banana is very prominent in the flavor so I think they should consider renaming it. But that's just me being nitpicky. The only two "cons" I could see from my first experience here are: 1) I wish there was a bit more meat on the fries. 2) The size of the order of fries is about half of what you'd get for a full order of carne asada fries at a taqueria. So nothing major really. I don't consider the size of the fries a ripoff because they were so damn tasty! So in my book, they've definitely earned this 4 star rating. I'm going to keep an eye out for these guys in the future for sure!

    Food Truck Friday at Balboa Park
    Lena Y.

    This rating is purely based on the shave ice. I had the opportunity to try it at Food Truck Friday at Balboa Park. There's a fine line between shave ice and snow cone...it's a snow cone...friendly service, but a $6 snow cone.

    A+ rating!!

    Aunty Lynne's is the best!!! If you're in San Diego, you have to go and eat at Aunty Lynne's. Extremely reasonable prices and a lot of awesome food options. Korean BBQ or carne asada fries to Filipino favorites of adobo and lumpia Amazing! You can't go wrong here. Aunty Lynne is really friendly and the service is quick and easy. This will be the next food truck success story for sure. Happy and glad that it is here in SD than LA. :)

    Taro and Thai tea with boba
    Miss R.

    I caught up with this truck at Balboa Park. Ordered the Korean BBQ over fries and a teriyaki chicken plate over rice with 2 bubble teas, the Taro and Thai flavored ones. There was a pretty long line and they ran out of rice (which is why I ended up with Korean BBQ over fries) but that's ok. Service was rather quick and the people working this truck were fantastic. Prices were ok. $9 per plate and $5 per tea iirc. I don't make it a common practice to order from food trucks but I was pretty satisfied with my visit.

    I have eaten here twice at work same dish I order Korean BBQ meal for $11. First time was really good. 2nd time my meat was so fatty it was gross. See photo... That's all fat. More fat then meat.

    Korean BBQ fries...large order.

    As I sit here, I couldn't help but update a review from 2+ yrs ago…read more I have truly fallen in love with this place. My wife and I were served by Anthony this evening. As always, he was outstanding & knowledgable. He guided us in our experience and we were blown away. Ordered the Beet salad, Steamed Clams to start. I got the Swordfish & Roasted Carrots and my wife enjoyed the Oxtail. Outstanding! They knew it was my birthday and the team wrote me a signed card by the staff. Very sweet. Grateful for this place.

We got champagne and did their Honeydew Lemongrass Limeade as the mixer, which I highly recommend! My friend got the Egg White Scramble and I ended up getting the Fried Rice. I was pretty disappointed in the basically non-existent bok choy in my dish since they chop it up and add it to the rice. It's a waste of bok choy honestly and the dish would be better with full bok choy pieces between the rice and egg. They couldn't even provide me with a side of bok choy because they pre-chop everything. As our dessert, we ended up splitting the Ultimate Sticky Bun. It is unfair how delicious this was! Condensed milk, strawberries, and lavender ice cream. Soo happy we decided to set one aside for dessert. There's a reason these sell out quickly!

We came in for lunch on Friday and had the flatbread and sandwich. Both were amazing! The server was wonderful. She really went above and beyond to make our lunch great.

We came back this morning and had the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Much harder to find a seat or parking on the weekend but worth it.

The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 (and I'm usually a 5-star/1-star girlie) is that we haven't seen Cari, one of our favorite servers, in either of our last couple of visits. Over a year ago now, Cari stepped UP when I became faint and almost passed out on Nate's front deck. It was a hot day, I am BAD at drinking water but great at sweating; and as I stood up, I turned paper white and the world got fuzzy. Cari swooped in the moment she saw what was happening - making sure I was safely lying down, getting me hand sanitizer for my forehead and a wet cloth for the back of my neck (rapid cooling!), and orange juice for my fluid imbalance. I'm so SO glad Cari was there to take better care of me than I take of myself. I miss our nerdy conversations, and hope she'll be back soon!

This place exceeded every one of them. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, Wolf in the Woods feels like a hidden European café you'd stumble upon while traveling. Sitting outside beneath the umbrellas with a cocktail, watching the neighborhood stroll by. It felt like a little corner cafe in Paris. Then the food arrived. Every plate was beautifully presented, but the real magic was in the creativity of the flavors. The combinations were unexpected, yet every one worked. Every dish had me wondering how on earth someone came up with these pairings in the first place. The Sweet Corn & Piñon Soup deserves a standing ovation. We literally stopped talking after the first spoonful. Rich, savory, slightly sweet, comforting and completely unexpected all at the same time. Both of our eyes rolled back in our heads. The Beef Tataki completely surprised me. The outside had a delicate seared crust, the inside cut like butter, and the citrus pairing made me rethink what flavors belong together. And the mushroom and polenta dish? The mushrooms had an incredible texture--like savory little pieces of mushroom jerky. I would have happily bought a pound of them just to snack on. Every dish felt like it was taking me somewhere I'd never been before, yet somehow felt familiar at the same time. Wolf in the Woods creates an unforgettable experience.
