The brisket was very soft and the ribs fell off the bone but the tiniest cup of bbq sauce I've ever gotten with takeout was not very flavorful. The rub on the meat was dry and had large mustard seeds. I left the ordering to my spouse and he came back with just 4 slices brisket and 5 ribs - no sides - for $44! Maybe the sides make a difference? Maybe moving here from Memphis makes a difference? When you've had ribs there nothing compares! Either way my vote is an hour and 45 minutes on a Saturday is not worth the wait.

Pesco is a small food cart regularly parked in the Windance Boardshop parking lot. It initially…read moreattracted us due to the pictures of various specialty dishes from different regions of Italy. We were most interested in a couple of the dishes, most notably the pettole and arancini. We walked up on a Sunday for lunch and none of the items we wanted were on the menu! The owner mentioned how she rotates all the menu items every month on the 15th, migrating between specialty dishes between regions of Italy for 11 months of the year, then bringing the customer favorites back for the last month. What a unique concept! Unfortunately most of the menu items available didn't interest us that much, so we ended up only ordering the tiramisu. Chef did offer us samples if we were interested which I appreciated. Tiramisu ($8) - The owner warned us when we ordered that she had just made the tiramisu around 30 minutes prior, so the espresso still needed time to soak into the ladyfingers. Electing to get lunch at a different spot, we ended up waiting about 2 hours before digging in. Unfortunately due to being kept cold in our cooler, the bottom layer of ladyfingers still hadn't reached the point of being soaked enough to be tender. Another hour or two outside of the cooler solved the issue. An $8 order contains a pretty large tiramisu square, hand cut and fit snugly into a takeout container. It's such a rich dessert that eating only about a third of it completely filled me up. It's creamy, it's tender, it's sweet, it's thick. It's night and day vs. store bought tiramisu, being probably two or three times the richness of mascarpone and cream, although not cloyingly so. The espresso soaks in well after a couple of hours, giving tenderness to the ladyfingers and an espresso taste that isn't bitter or acrid at all. Yum! (5/5) I don't eat tiramisu all that much, but I loved the one served at Pesco. Given that they have different menu items every month, it seems like this food cart is a great place to visit for plenty of variety. I'll have to keep an eye out the next time I'm in town!

This is definitely a great lunch option if you are very, very hungry for Mexican street food and want to get very full for less than $15. The burritos are delicious and taste authentic and fresh, but they're also so overwhelmingly greasy that it detracts from how good they are. If I don't eat the whole burrito at once-- which is hard to do since the burrito is huge-- the tortilla is so soggy with grease that it's not very good after a few hours. I'm not sure if my first burrito was a fluke, but no burrito has been quite the same since. So, I guess it's a little hit or miss, but the portions are always huge. Ironically, I think they may have recognized me from my Yelp review, and tried to give me a better burritos by giving me one with way more meat, rice, and beans. The reason I loved the first burrito so much was because it had such a great amount of other toppings. I love when there's enough Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and sour cream to get some in every bite. I still think this is a great food cart, and the portions are huge, but I may have originally overrated the flavor a little bit. I love the look of this truck and the customer service and the vibes but the burritos are just a little too greasy for me. I would still come back here again in the future to try their tacos and other menu items.

The bread was different than a normal baguette style banh mi...more of a Mexican torta roll, but super fresh, soft and paired perfectly with the crispy pork and tangy veggies . All in all, a great sandwich. We also got the fried spring rolls, perfectly fried and served with sweet chili sauce, spicy peanut sauce, and a spicy fish sauce. All were super tasty. We got the special pork skewers, which seemed to be ground pork, very well seasoned and skewered on lemongrass, which was a nice touch. It came served with rice and lettuce, fresh jalapeño's to make wraps. Delicious. We also got the vermicelli salad with ahi tuna, seared medium rest. The fish was super fresh tasting, well seared, but could have used some seasoning. The vermicelli was tossed in a miso ginger dressing which also lacked seasoning. All in all, we really enjoyed the meal. I would go back over and over for the banh mi and pork skewers.

I have been so disappointed by barbecue in the Pacific Northwest over the last few years, but I gotta say this is a small diamond in the rough. The farm pile over mac & cheese and then I had pulled pork, chicken, brisket, meatloaf they were all really good. The chicken had a unfamiliar sweet taste to it. It wasn't bad, but not my cup of tea. Personally, the pulled pork was a little dry, but as to be expected, it wasn't sauced, but once you put some sauce on it wasn't bad at all they were out of burnt ends unfortunately which are my personal fave. The brisket was good as well overall I would eat here again. I just would probably order a lot less, but I tend to try everything in a new place for me not quite five star dining but it could be there with some tweaks. We'll definitely look forward to coming back in the coming months.
