For a splinter-felt time I have wanted to prick out--err, write about--another food truck that made me on the go, twice--therefore giving this review solid 4 stars. Although all of us were almost full during Fat & Furious, a friend of Viet T & mine was candidly immersed with one of the signature items cooked up at BOTG, the $9 Prime Tip Sirloin w/ Fries & [philanthropic dollops of] Chimichurri. Ugh deng it, I couldn't stop nom-ing extra calories of the mouthwatering chunks of medium rare-cooked cow, meshing well w/ that addictively garlicky parsley mix. I so badly wanted to declare this is as so-called Fia's Best Things She Ever Ate, if the thickly cut steak fries weren't that soggy & the meat were a bit more tender for something that rare. Over two months later that truck appeared at the most convenient food truck round-up for me (Los Al). This time I had to resist the lure of that meat & potato trap, because I was in unhealthily starving mode while waiting for my foodie friends, & thus I instead dove into BOTG's Shrimp Tacos w/ Chipotle ($6). Yes, I too think that the creamy & stupendous chipotle sauce was toOoOoOoOoOo generous, but the impeccably succulent & wondrously charred, plump shrimp made me forget about the amount of that gaudy drizzle. So yes, to my pleasant surprise I'm proud to be one of BOTG's fans & have a tiny increase in my hipline, & I'm relieved that I have written this out of the way--out of n amounts of upcoming reviews xP... read more

Barcelona OntheGo - Prime Top Sirloin w/ Fries & Chimichurri - Spanish Near Me

I love the influx of OC food trucks. For one, it gives me more options during lunch. There's only so many fast food chain restaurants I can handle. Two, I'm just crazy enough of a foodie to go looking for a food truck. And lastly, when it comes to food and trying new things, I don't mind paying a bit more. I heard about this Spanish cuisine food truck online with a few articles and have been following them on Twitter recently. When they were within a stone throw's distance from my workplace recently, I decided to go check it out. They sure have one decked out mobile food truck, nicely painted, bright logo and red colors, looks pretty new. At around 11:45pm, there were a few people trickling by. Checking out the menu, I knew I wanted to try the paella. When I told the gentleman taking my order that I was going to be sharing this with my wife, he said I definitely needed more food. So I went with the flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce and their special, which was one empanada, one croquette, and a flan for $8. Total was about $25. The chicken empanada had some flavorful, shredded chicken inside. The croquette contained manchego cheese and ham, a great combination of flavors. It had that crispy exterior, with a oozy cheesy interior. The lightly dressed, leafy greens on the side gave it a nice contrast. I could've eaten about a half dozen more of those croquettes. The paella contained some carefully placed morsels of chicken, along with one shrimp, some tender calamari, a couple of small mussels, along with a few small coins of chorizo. The rice was nicely cooked, but overall I felt like it needed more spice and bold flavors. Something to kick me in the pants. As for the flat iron steak dish, it came with a side of thick cut potato fries. I loved the green chimichurri sauce, as I could just about eat that with anything. If I had to nitpick, it would be that the steak wasn't exactly the most tender, as I had to spend a bit of time chewing. It was cooked well done, so that explains the texture. If you know flat iron steak, it's gotta be medium or bust. I'm a fan of the orange flavored flan, but it didn't have that smooth, silky consistency that many flan enthusiasts love. My wife and I enjoyed everything, as it was a change of pace from what we would normally eat during lunch (eehh, leftovers). Prices are a bit on the high side, given the portions, and the flavors overall are more "tame." But if you realize that this food came from a mobile truck with ultra-friendly service, it's definitely worth a try. 3.5 stars. Now if they would only serve sangria. That would make working in the afternoon real interesting. read more

I gave away the 2nd empanada in my order, and I was still hungry. They were out of paella after waiting over 1.5 hours. The soup tasted like it was laced with copper ... it had that out of the can kinda taste to it. Disappointing. I thru half of it out. I had a bite of the steak and it was way too salty for me. Word is that the chimichurri is supposed to taste salty... but it was just too much for my taste. Maybe I was just pissy since they didn't have what I wanted after waiting so long. I don't know. But the food did not impress me. And, we were about 5 minutes away from getting Mel's car towed. Close call there! ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE: came here for Anita's UYE and the area was packed. People love this truck. There was a little band setup going, people had their flasks and tall cans (well... at least I did) ... and it's always great to see everyone for a new food experience. And, meet new ones ... like Bigg Papi. Two G's. read more

Sorry fellow OC Yelpers....this one missed the mark for me. 1. Angus Beef with fries/chimichurri sauce $9.00 for like a palmful? 3 STARS. Steak was dry and fries were oily and soggy. 2. Croquette- $5-6? 3 STARS I do appreciate this novelty appearing in the second most boring city in OC, and continuing the trend so that others may follow. I just don't know that I'm willing to pay $19.00 for 2 small items and an 8 ounce Pelligrino soda can. Next? read more

Damn these were some freaking amazing fries http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/GJIfeA5DrCa9jX5gprWhzw?select=8L_fAnCZcVHB3OU1goivKA.

I have hired Barcelona on the Go to come out to some of my apartment communities. We are hosting Gourmet Food Truck parties for our residents, and the Barcelona on the Go Gourmet Food Truck has been a HUGE HIT! We created a special menu for our events to include their Paella Bowl, Chicken Sandwich, Vegetable and Steak Quesadillas, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Crispy Fries with Thyme-Aioli Sauce and Lentil Soup. The food is consistently delicious, the service is excellent and our residents are loving the unique and different parties. The residents are writing thank you notes to the office team to let them know how much they have been enjoying this fun and delicious event! Esteban and his team are awesome!! read more

Best tacos ever!!!! I never get tacos because they are greasy and lack flavor, so I went out on a limb. Dear god, these are magical tacos. They come with sirloin, roasted corn salsa and onions. They were packed with flavor and not at all greasy. They come as a pair and are housed in multiple corn tortillas. I like this because often times, one tortilla isn't enough. Liquid soaks through and it rips. These guys thought ahead. This hidden gem is why I came to the market today. I will go back! read more

They ran out of a lot of items on the menu at 8pm-ish at the F.V. Summerfest, which actually kicked off Thursday night. I ended up just getting the bacon wrapped dates although their sweet potato fries with lime salt sounded tempting. There wasn't anything special to the bacon wrapped dates. A date and a piece of bacon. It's as easy as that. It was $4 for about 5 pieces. Total rip-off in my opinion. I can make this at home. read more

Barcelona OntheGo - bacon wrapped dates - Spanish Near Me

The bf & I went all the way to Irvine to get some delicious food & it was worth the wait! We were there at 6:30 & finally got our food after an hour & a half later since people were cutting in line -____-" You know who you are. Anyways, most of the food was tasty. The cheese croquettes wasn't that great because it was kinda of tasteless. It would be good with a sauce, but I did like the salad. I had no idea one order came with 2 pieces so we got 2 orders and now we have extra chicken empanadas I didn't think it was that great because it wasn't spicy at all. I also think this would go great with a sauce & my bf agreed. The top shirlon was cook just right medium. Very tender & juicy! I like that green sauce they put on top & with the steak fries mmmm so good! Lastly, everyone was talking about the beet fries & the open face sandwich. It was sausage with bell pepper, onions ect. I loved it with the bread and the meat had loads of flavor. Also the beets were great and it was my first time eating it and i'm in love. I wish I got to try the paella, but I didn't want to wait an hour and a half. Overall, good food. I still have left overs. The price is pretty reasonable. I left happy :) read more

Barcelona OntheGo - Menu - Spanish Near Me

There is nothing bad about Barcelona OntheGo, aside, perhaps, from its hideous squished name and some less than ideal prices. The problem with the food is not that it doesn't taste good, but that in a scene congested with food trucks, it fails to stand out in a way that would tempt a second visit. The service was decent and I liked the concept. Unfortunately, the menu offered very little that sounded exciting. Justin C. and I tried the bacon-wrapped dates and the mac and cheese. Both were pretty solid. The dates were good and creamy with cheese and there was some good crisp to the bacon. The mac and cheese was made up of large shell pasta doused in manchego, with a bread crumb topping. It tasted decent, but it was heavy, and most of it went uneaten. And with that, I have little more to say. This truck is pretty forgettable, and while I wouldn't begrudge it my business if I were hungry and it were my only option, I won't be seeking it out again. read more

Expectations perhaps were a little high. We love Spain and tapas is one of the reasons. So, we tried many of the offerings and thought it was hit and miss. Somethings were great and some were just a-ok. Grill cheese - sinful, probably pan fried in deep pool of butter, with bacon and quince sauce, which gives it a sweet flavor - boys loved it Fried paella balls - reminds me a little of falafels but was simple and tasty and flavorful Shrimp taco - minimalist is how I'd describe it. Would not do this again. Sirloin steak sandwich - very generously adorned with strips of steak. Meat was a little chewy and fatty. Chimichurri sauce was rather bland. Just ok. Came with a side of fries which were good. Chicken empanada - did not think much of it. Like the ones sold by the 'ol Gaucho Grille at the Brea farmers market much better. Oh, Gaucho had a great chimichurri sauce for dipping Bacon wrapped dates - quite small. Can't tell if it was deep fried. Good but expected more given the reviews Churros w/ chocolate - good but a little overpowering after the rather heavy meal. Smothered with sugar and drizzled w/ chocolate This was also the most expensive food truck that we've experienced. I think the total tab approached $50. They didn't have many of the items on their online menu such as paella and serrano ham. Hopefully they'll knock these more traditional Spanish fares out of the park. read more

Another great yelp find for me. After reading anita's review, i had them bookmarked on yelp/followed on twitter/fanned on facebook. THey were right next to my work yesterday, but i got stuck with a long work call, and had to miss it. But I sure made it up today, when I got a message from my twitter that the truck is by main street. I was like the 3rd person and I really appreciate any business that asks you 'how did you hear about us'. For one, they know you are there for the first time(get to know one's customers closely). also they want to know how people are hearing about them. (shows a passion and curiosity to find out). Guess what I told him, I heard about you from Anita. and he says you friends with Anita? - I said, yeah - on n yelp! :) The truck looks as hot as their website. I told esteban, the truck looks like a bistro. I could totally get it! Awesome art work. I tried Paella, it was very different from the paella, i used to at Inka Grill, and other chains here in OC. the rice was little thick looking rice. not hte skinny rice that i am used to but I really liked it. Made it very authentic/home made. 9.80 is littel pricey for me for lunch but its paella, So I have no regret spending it on my lunch today. it was worth it. I would stick to the empenadas next time. they look yummy! before I left i could see a little crowd already gathered there... like a cult! This is a good kind. read more

At CSUF today for softball. So cold and windy that I was miserable until it was time for a late lunch. Got a steak quesadilla from this truck and for a little while I forgot that I was freezing! Absolutely delicious. More steak than I could eat. Great customer service too. Definitely will be visiting this truck again soon. So good! read more

Barcelona on the Go was one of the first OC food trucks. Their menu includes classics like paella. But, I feel like they are branching out a bit to provide less-entree like offerings to compete with the other trucks in the area doing tacos and snack foods. On my first visit, I tried their Spanish BLT, which had serrano ham and bacon. It was a really tasty combination of two kinds of pork, which is practically cheating, but it was still difficult to give credit to a Spanish food truck for making such an American classic. They other dish was likewise ill-fitting to the truck theme - Macho Nachos with carnitas. Yes, the freshly fried chips were great, the carnitas were tasty but nachos? To top it off, they were out of guacamole. I was so put off that I asked what they would sub in in exchange and they had nothing for me but knocked a dollar of the price. That was the only gentlemanly thing to do since everyone knows guacamole is the premier topping on a nacho. Part of me wishes I did order their Spanish specialties so I'll probably be back. read more

Every Thursday across the street from my casa there is a mini food truck festival. I pass it all the time and i've already eaten or just don't feel like eating....anyways I FINALLY went tonight and checked it out. I've been saying if I ever get over there i'm going to try the Burnt truck or Dogzilla I get there and I see this truck I have heard of it but never looked at their stuff online but after looking around all the other trucks this one called out to me.....(SHRIMP TACOS). So I order 2 Shrimp tacos, Seasoned Fries and a Fanta and the total was $14....yikes! So I stand around for about 8 minutes no one else was in front of me so i'm like dang come on...they finally call my name and hand me my food and I took it back to the car so I could sit and be warm... I open the Shrimp tacos and take a bite...Right away i'm like CRAP these are DRY little bastards! It needed more sauce or lime juice...SOMETHING it was just a dry dead taco. Oh and only 2 mini shrimp on each taco! Next I try the fries....YIKES over seasoned and the ketchup which was suppose to be a spicy ketchup taste just like average ketchup..... Over seasoned basic fries and dry ass tacos at this point i'm thirsty.....Thats when I realize I can't open my fanta! Its not a twist top and I don't have a can opener...DAMNIT!!! I feel like I got robbed - 14 bucks.............I could have went and got the shrimp taco meal at Del taco which is 100X bigger and Better for 7 bucks!!! BOO :( read more

I just realized, how do you "check in" when a food truck rolls up? Has Yelp invented that yet? I was more like "checking out" the truck instead. I was only able to try out their Empanadas ($5+ tax) when they rolled into Hi-Time this past weekend. Hey, who doesn't like fried stuff? Two nice and hot, slightly crunchy outside and meaty goodness on a bed of greens with Vinaigrette. I liked it, definitely doesn't taste like food truck food, know what I mean? It lacked more sauce, I thought. However, I did wish I was able to try some of their item items like the open faced sandwich that they ran out of. This is what happens when you order towards the end of the day I guess. Food wise, I prefer this over Kogi but I still love you Kogi cuz I am an Asian whore and first timers will always have a special place in my mind, I mean my tummy. read more

Tried this truck last week for dinner. BF and I ordered Steak w/ Chimichurri Sauce on fries, Short Rib Sliders, and Shrimp Tacos. The total was $21, which wasn't too bad for three items. We were at Noble Ale Works and the ladies working just brought our food inside to us as they were ready. That was nice, much better than standing outside waiting for the food to be ready. The shrimp tacos were slightly spicy, but they were my least favorite of the bunch. Not that they were bad, I have just had better spicy grilled shrimp tacos. The sliders were really tasty, the meat was super tender and juicy. The steak was the best though. Perfectly cooked, large slices of steak with delicious chimichurri sauce all over them. We should have gotten two of those and skipped the tacos. I would definitely eat here again. The people working were nice and funny and the food was really good! read more

I came across the Barcelona OntheGo truck at the SoCo Farmers' Market last weekend. For some reason, Duke D. felt a strong calling to it so we decided to get a quick bite from there. Because I was too busy watching the chefs cook for the Farm to Food Truck Challenge III that day, he ran off to get our food. He came back with shrimp tacos (with chipotle sauce) and some bacon-wrapped dates. Of course there would be some bacon in his choices. It was like a child running back to me after spending money and saying, "I do good?" Yes, you did somewhat good. The shrimp in the shrimp tacos were pretty tasty but I wasn't too impressed with it all. The sauce was a tad weak to be honest. As for the dates, I thought them to be good but missing something. With the saltiness of the bacon being overpowered by the sweet dates, I felt like a little bit of salty cheese stuffed in the dates would've made them much better. Good shot there but it just wasn't my thing. If only I had gotten to eat what they entered in the compeition though...man that looked tasty (and they got 3rd place too!). read more

Sabroso! This truck is good! Only had the chance to try one item, so I made it a good one: The Prime Top Sirloin and Fries with Chimichurri. The sirloin was served up medium rare. It was tender, juicy, and oozing with flavor. The chimichurri sauce was delicious, but a bit greasy which sogged up the fries. Now, it was still good... but I kinda felt my arteries clogging up with every bite. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I shall die before I wake, I blame the sauce that these guys make. AMEN! read more

Their food is absolutely delicious! Great quality food! Love their steak tacos with corn salsa! Also the fries were on point!! I would definitely recommend! Also they have great customer service... when I saw a women complain her tacos didn't have lettuce, they were very friendly and more than happy to accommodate her request. read more

Price Range: $3-9 Got the USDA Prime Top Sirloin & Fries w/ Chimichurri ($9) because it was touted as their "signature dish". The steak was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri was bursting with flavor. Really good. Also tried the Manchego Mac & Cheese ($5) - the manchego cheese added a nice twist from traditional mac & cheese and everyone gobbled this one right up. I'm happy to say that I've had some really good food truck experiences lately! I was so over the hype for awhile, but seems most of them are taking feedback to heart and working out the initial kinks. *Note: they accept credit cards! read more

I've been following Barcelona for a while and had the chance to chase them down in Irvine. They were offering Restaurant Week menu, and I picked the #1: Bacon wrap dates, Steak w/ Fries, and Churro w/ Chocolate for $15. I thought wow, kind of steep, but I was so full!! The food was enough for 2 skinny women (or one good size eater), and my sister ane I shared it. The bacon wrapped dates were delish!! Someone said cheese would bring out the flavor and it may be true. I'd like to see that. The steak (I requested rare) was cooked perfect! Sliced to bite size so no knife needed,and the fries were crisp and delish. The churros were actually still warm, and I tried one (of 6 pieces). I took them back to work to share, and while still good, it was much better warm. Good job Barcelona!! read more

Ok, it was better than the food inside Anaheim Convention Center. The steak taco's were OK -if I was reviewing on those alone I would have upped it to 3 stars. My second day I had steak with chimichurri on a bed of fries. OHHH, what a disaster. Chimichurri should be fresh parsley, oregeno, garlic, vinegar.....what was poured on this steak was cooked. It was green. It was oily. it was not Chimichurri. Greasy steak (the meat was not bad) and the cooked green oily sauce drenched the fries and made them inedible. They were greasy because of the sauce. It was BAD. I had a bad taste in my mouth for hours.... read more

I really want to love BOTG, but it never quite reaches that level. Sure, the fries and meats are very good, but everything seems a bit overpriced. What makes me sad though is the paella. I've had paella plenty of times and BOTG's is not up to snuff at all. As a standalone dish, I'd have to give it just two stars. While yellow, there wasn't much saffron flavor, and the shrimp looked to be just thrown on top rather than integrated into the dish itself. The rice itself was almost like orzo. I'm glad it wasn't dry but it wasn't cooked like I thought it should be and there were no crusty/crunchy parts. read more

Barcelona OntheGo - Paella with shrimp - Spanish Near Me

My boyfriend and I have recently embarked on an amazing food truck journey and we've found some good eats so far. Barcelona OntheGo happened to be in the same location as another truck we were looking for so we decided to try it out. Service: A Friendly & Fast. Food: B+ We ordered two items. The first was this glorious Chorizo Grilled Cheese: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pz4moQTRzQ8YSy7sBBtQuw&userid=B8CqppjOne8X4RSJ5KYOvQ which is described on their website as a "Blend of manchego & mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced Pamplona chorizo, & roasted red bell peppers." Although it was delicious, it wasn't what I expected. I didn't taste any chorizo, just cheese and bell peppers, and I guess that's because the chorizo is so thinly sliced and there wasn't much on there. I was expecting a better balance but I'm a cheese lover so I still enjoyed it. Bread was perfectly crisp. The second item, which I don't have a picture of, was the Spicy Fries. My boyfriend ordered those because he thought they were going to be a yummy spicy concoction but both he and I were disappointed. It was literally just fries sprinkled with chili powder. Umm, okay. The chili powder wasn't good, and the fries themselves were just okay. Considering the above I think this truck is okay. I'd like to try more items and see how it goes... read more

Barcelona OntheGo - Shrimp & top sirloin taco - Spanish Near Me

Although Barcelona OntheGo mainly goes around the OC, my friends and I were fortunate that it made a stop in Long Beach. This little spanish cuisine themed food truck was hosted by 4th Street Vine and boy was the food delicious! I give the sweet potato fries alone a 5/5 stars. They were seasoned with lime salt that gave them this perfect sweet and salty combination and is the best of any sweet potato fries I've ever tried. I also ordered the shrimp tacos with chipotle sauce. For about $5, I got two generous servings of tacos and each bite was full of flavor. Loved them. My friends ordered the Seafood Paella which included cooked mussels and shrimp on a bed of spanish rice and were the ones that people seemed to order the most of as we were the last ones to get them before they ran out. The sausage sandwich cost about $8 and was huge and I didn't even get to really smell it before my friend devoured it so I'm guessing that one was a good choice as well.. The wait was a bit long (20-25 mins) for our orders to be done but it was all worth it. Overall, we were all very pleased with our orders and can't wait for Barcelona OntheGo to come back again! read more

Went to Twitter Tuesday today! It was my first time here today and it was ehh. By the time I got my food, I had eaten Lime Truck's grub. I had a chicken empanada and it was overflowing with flavor! The chicken was pretty good! I was hoping the outside (wrap? dough? ) would be more flakey, but it wasnt as thick as I thought, which is cool! This stuff reminds me of samosas. hahaha Patatas bravas! When I took my first bite, it tasted like lucas (the addiciting chili powder). But then as I kept eating, I was wondering wth was I smoking...lucas my butt. The flavoring/ paprika was addicting and very tasty. It wasnt too spicy.The fries seemed fresh and was crispy! These are good after 2 hours; they make great snacks while youre studying! I wanted to get the paella really badly, but my first experience ever having a paella wasnt all that lovely. So I figured the next time I have one, it would have to be in Spain! One day, I will freaking grow some balls and give those paellas another chance. Esteban, the owner, was really nice!!! Props to him and Mariela! As I was waiting for my food, those two were freaking non stop busy cooking in such a confined area. Everything was fresh! I would go freaking ballistic if I was either one of them trying to accomodate everyone! Much appreciated! Definitely coming back and taking my brother with me! Enjoy! :) read more

I was able to catch this truck at Cal State Fullerton! I heard great things about it and I was dying to try it! I think I was a little TOO excited. I only tried the Prime Top Sirloin and Fries with Chimichurri and it was good, but I didn't loooovee it. The sirloin and fries were good, but I don't think the chimichurri sauce was to my taste. I'm not sure if I can describe it as well, but it had a tangy (lemony) taste to it that was good, but not great. I also didn't like how dirty the truck was. Yes, I understand its a truck so its going to be dirty, but their decorations had a lot of dirt and dust on them so it didn't make the food very appetizing. The staff are really friendly though! Very nice and helpful. The food also came out quick. I don't think I'll be going back for the fries. Maybe I'll try something different! read more

Barcelona OntheGo - Prime Top Sirloin with Chimichurri Fries - Spanish Near Me

Visited this truck at Anita L's UYE last week. It was just mediocre. Don't get me wrong, the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't Great either. Maybe I got a little too excited, and set my expectations too high? I don't knowwwww. We got there a bit late so the line was already pretty long, so I was expecting to wait a bit, but I didn't expect to wait THAT long. The fact that we wine-ed it a little beforehand and that there was live music made the wait go by faster, but if I was still complaining about the wait after all that, it must have been a little too long. Anyways, by the time we got to order. They ran out of Empanadas AND Paella!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO. I was a kind of devastated. Okay, I was Really devastated. But I had no other choice but to just suck it up and get over it. I shared the Premium Angus Top Sirloin con Chimichurri ($10), Tortilla Espanola ($4), and Manchego Cheese Croquettes ($5). The steak and fries were the best thing I ordered. The steak was perfectly tender and its juices were flowing soaking the fries. The fries were good and well seasoned. The croquettes were good too. Tasted almost like... fried mashed potatoes? The Tortilla Espanola was probably my least favorite. I think they forgot to put the sauce on it, but it was definitely lacking flavor. I did like the mini salad on the side, but other than that it was just chewy and bland, and I didn't even bother wasting my calories on it to finish it. Meh. Maybe I'll give this truck another try just to try the Empanadas and Paella... but as of now I don't think its all that it was hyped up to be. The live band and Esteban were friendly !! read more

Outside of their outstanding customer service, the food was delicious. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and was pleasantly surprised to see a small salad on the side. This was just the comfort food I was looking for read more

Five stars only for the steak w/ fries. Perfectly crispy fries topped with sirloin steak & chimichurri fries!! SO good! It was my first time trying chimichurri sauce and I fell in love with it. The steak was tender and everything complimented each other so well. Just a little pricy ... $10-11 but food trucks aren't the cheapest nowadays and plus, you get steak for this item! Get this in your belly and you'll definitely be a happy camper! read more

Barcelona OntheGo - SO good!!!!! - Spanish Near Me

Saw this truck get a good number of reviews and the only truck I havn't tried at the OC fairgrounds. I got the steak and fries and the bacon wrapped dates. The steak was ordered medium rare and came out perfectly. The meat was very tender and juicy. The fries were crispy and the green sauce complimented the both very well. The wait for the food took a while but that's because this was the most crowded truck of the afternoon. The bacon wrapped dates were excellent as well. They tasted really caramelized and the bacon was lightly crisp. I would recommend this truck if you happen to come across it. Recommendation: Steak with fries and Bacon wrapped dates. read more

Barcelona OntheGo frequently parks near my office. Serving Spanish food, this truck offers a variety of Latin-inspired dishes. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which was served with a side of fries. Given how quickly I received my food after placing my order, I'm convinced that the chicken had been sitting underneath a food lamp. Indeed, the chicken tasted dry and rubbery. The chicken was topped with mixed greens and a red pepper aioli, that did not add much to the sandwich. The focaccia bread sadly tasted a day old. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, but they were not good enough to redeem the rest of the dish. Maybe it was just the grilled chicken sandwich, or perhaps it was an off-day. Irrespective of the reason, this food truck is underwhelming. read more

We ordered the Sweet Potato Fries and Grilled Cheese Melt and both were OK, we couldn't finish them up. Basically for the melt was just cheese and bread, that's all....nothing super wow about it. read more

This was one of the many food trucks that come to gather at Teller and Michelson in Irvine on Wednesdays. I work nearby and after discovering this goldmine.. I was eager to make my rounds through all the trucks. I didn't have the chance to order or interact with the individuals working at this truck, but my co-workers ordered a dish each while I waited at the Lime Truck (which is so nom!)... I, however, had the fortune of eating two of the seemingly popular dishes and I have no complaints with the quality of food. The wait - however - was atrocious. Due to their limited staff (one cook, one at the register) they do the best they can.. so I can't say much for that. The two co-workers of mine aren't really receptive to different types of fare, but I kind of wish I tried their other dishes. We ordered the sweet potato fries (which everyone seemed to be ordering) and the steak with fries. Both were amazing. The steak at medium was juicy and well flavored. I definitely like the chimchurri or whatever sauce they put on it. The meat juices soak into the fries making for deliciousness soaked in meaty goodness. The sweet potato fries were actually some of the best I've ever had. They were crispy, salted just right, and flavorful. The problem was the wait and it seemed like they were a little "short" with my co-worker. Food trucks are all the rave for their *quick* service and delicious eats. Apparently the lady at the stove was a bit inefficient and handled one dish at a time.. making us wait long enough that I ordered, picked up the food and still stood waiting for my co-worker's order of sweet potato fries. Thankfully the food was good.. or she would have really had something to say about this truck. I would definitely come back and try other dishes but I don't think the others are as attracted to return. There was hardly any line and it looked like many people were leaving a bit disgruntled about the wait. I'd be willing to re-review once I get a chance to swing by here. Four stars really.. but minus one for the horrible wait. read more

Excellent bacon wrapped dates and sweet potato fries! There was a sort of long wait because everyone else was ordering the sweet potato fries as well, but they were worth it! While waiting for the fries, my searing hot bacon wrapped dates cooled down to an eatable temperature and were delicious! Can't wait to try more menu items! read more
