I am not a hot dog girl at all, but I've seen Cholo dogs at multiple food events so I decided to…read moregive them a try once and for all! Plus their stand is always eye catching! I had the cholo dog and it was delicious. Can officially say this is my one and only favorite hot dog! What caught my attention was the bbq sauce, chipotle mayo, and tajin; a girls dream! The jalapeños added a great touch; not too spicy, but a small kick. Love that the sauces helped make the hot dog feel that it wasn't dry and overall just mixed together for a great flavor. Wait time at the lake eola Christmas market wasn't crazy, a good 10 minutes? I'll can definitely say I'd order 2 next time!

Great local hot dog option. The Perfect vessel for Mexican food other than a taco. Only wish they…read morewere a tad larger.

Headed to this event - now located in front of Fashion Square Mall - this past Sunday. Be sure to…read morecheck out the Daily City's calendar on their website and FaceBook page for dates, since this is an ongoing, repeat activity. The trucks change out pretty frequently, so check out the participant listing, too!! This is a great way to get a taste of Orlando all in one place. There are about 15 - 20 trucks on average, at each event. Personal faves include La Empanda and pretty much any truck that has sweets. We just tried the Cake truck (I'm drawing a complete blank on the name - I'll circle back with an update on that) and the Hot Fudge Sundae cupcake was ridiculously good! They block off a good section of parking lot for this event, so there is plenty of space to bring folding chairs and a small table (recommend this actually). At the very least, bring some sports chairs with cup holders. The lines can get pretty hefty on some of the days, so try to arrive early and hop in line at your faves to ensure you get what you are looking for to eat. We like to divide and concur. He'll go to one truck and I'll wait at another, and we'll regroup at a chosen place. This works well on busy days. Overall: A A fun event, family / pet friendly, and plenty o' food to nom on!

I went to the food truck at the farmer's market and had a delicious breakfast! I got the egg and…read morecheese arepa, which also had tomatoes and onions and a great little sauce. The ambiance was nice but since it's a food truck, there's not much to say about it. The service was good, it took a little while but understandable for a food truck!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... 1. Friendly,…read morefriendly people. It's not just, "what can I get you?" It's the "how are you", and the smiles. 2. Clean, clean, clean. You look inside the truck & all is very organized and tidy. This is important to me, it shows pride in their work. 3. The arepas, my gosh, the arepas! Excellent, crispy outside, not bulging masa ball, inside, soft & not dry & crumbly. 4. The chicken, that is nestled inside the arepas, shredded evenly, tasty, moist enough to balance the arepa, but not too juicy that the arepa gets soaked & torn apart. It is not overly seasoned, which is fine because of the mixed cheese that is loaded on top, ooey, gooey goodness! 5. The sauce, the pièce de résistance, this cilantro & garlic sauce is amazing. It adds a level of flavor to the whole dish that is incomparable. Believe me, my husband and I, out of desperation, when they were on vacation, have tried another place & let's just say, not good. They also have a spicy version of the sauce that is not just handed out all willy nilly, you have to ask & yes, it is possible, makes it all more delectable. Do yourself a favor, follow & taste the food!

I got the Chicken Katsu which comes with 2 big scoops of rice, their incredible Mac salad and 2 sauces.

I have had tacos from this place about 4 times now and I have been disappointed in 3 of the 4. The…read moremeat in the taco was so overcooked and dry, it was hard to eat, and no amount of taco sauce helped. To make matter worse, they have gone up in price to $2.50 for a small 4 inch taco. Maybe its the time of day I get there, but bad tacos 3 out of 4 times makes me think not. Sure would like to get what I pay for but sadly this seems to be elusive.
