Island City is a food truck specializing in Puerto Rican food. My friend and I spotted it at the…read moreCleveland Market. We immediately agreed that empanadillas for breakfast are the best choice. FOOD: We both ordered pork empanadillas. They were good but the meat felt too soupy. I also ordered guava empanadilla. I liked the guava filling but felt that the dough felt too fried/oily. Portions were generous in terms of empanada size. I want to sing praises to Tropical Coco (Coconut Soda). It was the perfect hint of coconut and subtle sweetness. My friend and I decided to find and order this soda somewhere. SERVICE: More pleasant than it should be at a food trucks. Great hospitality. We were even called by our first names. Service was also quite quick. VALUE: The menu goes up to $16. Most items are priced at $12. $6 per piece is a bit pricey for empanadas compared to local restaurants but this was also event pricing. I'd visit Island City again. Next time I'd like to taste Island Sandwich. Another coconut soda for me of course as well!!!

Out of many Filipino restaurants I would say this may be one of those that stick out!…read more Very clean and straight forward food and menu. The Beef Mami was a very tasty. The broth that comes with it was great. The bok choy was cooked perfectly, and the noodles are soft as well. The beef was very tender and complements the contents of the dish. The BBQ chicken skewers were not that great. But still, the texture and char on the chicken was pretty good. I would recommend stopping here if you're in the area and want to try Filipino food.

I have yet to visit the restaurant, so this review is for the food truck. I first discovered the food truck at the Beachwood Truck Park (now closed). I then rediscovered the food truck during the World on Stage Concert at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens this weekend. Both memorable food experiences! Food: My order during the latest visit included Chicken Tocino ($17) and Ube Cheesecake Cookie ($5). I felt like the food was much tastier the second time around. Chicken Tocino included generous serving of meat and was perfectly marinated. The dish was so plentiful with egg, meat, rice, and marinated veggies. I ate with my eyes closed! Ube Cookie always satisfies my soul. It had a good amount of Ube, was sweet, and delicious. If I wasn't already very full, I'd go for seconds. Almost forgot, you get a buzzer/pager that rings when your food is ready. It's a great idea for large scale events and venues where the truck might be. Service: Everyone working the food truck was nice. Asked me about my meal, wished me a pleasant meal, and provided me with to go bag for my leftovers. Interactions were very warm and friendly. Find the food truck: Street Food Finder site will allow you to find their food truck locations. You can mostly find them at Lakewood Truck Park. By the way, cash is the preferred payment method. Credit cards are accepted. I look forward to visiting the restaurant and further exploring all the menu. I also want to see if the brick and mortar location also has cute palm vibes like the food truck. I'll certainly catch Parilya food truck around the town too!

They talked to the waitress and paid with a tip attached that staff selected themselves!!!! After coming to sit back down they announced that it didn't go through and that they would need payment again. I offered to pay the bill with my money. But my partner said that this is common in some places where restaurants will double charge people! The said an automatic refund would happen and to give them a call if we never received one! Yeah no more like let's just call the bank and dispute it! Run. Run. FAR AWAY.

A great spot that serves delicious and reasonably priced food!…read more I got the large curry chicken meal ($13) and a beef patty ($3). The curry chicken meal came with a few pieces of chicken, cabbage, plantains, and rice & peas. Everything on the plate was delicious. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it was flavorful but not too spicy. I really enjoyed the plantains, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. And I'm not typically the biggest fan of cabbage, but I like the way Gar and Mar cooks and seasons theirs. But oh my God, THE BEEF PATTY. Next time I come here, I might just make my meal a bunch of beef patties. The curry chicken was good, but the beef patty was absolutely fantastic. The crust was so buttery and flaky, and the filling so flavorful and well-spiced. The patty was so good that I ordered another one for "dessert," though the patty is very much savory. It was a good amount of food for under $20. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and casual.

They are know for the "Grumsteer" but all the subs I've had have been delicious. Filled to the brim with meat and dressings. $8 for a half and $16 for a full.

After a brief glance at the menu (and picking up a gummy worm flavored diet mountain dew from their vending machine...), I ordered their Grum Sandwich (7" for $8) without peppers and swapped out the oil for stadium mustard as well as an order of their plain "grumizza" to indulge in for dinner. It was only $2.75!!! How can I resist that?? I am not exaggerating when I say that I would die for this sandwich and I don't know if it was my obsessive ADHD brain talking or not, but it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. There was sooooo much meat on there, the spice mix was amazing, and the bread.... woweeee wow, so soft and fluffy and oh my god delicious. AND IT WAS ONLY 8 DOLLARS. The grumizza made for a great dinner as well. Using the same bread as the sandwiches, they loaded it up with sauce, ooey gooey cheese, and that spice mix I love so much. I hit my carb quota for a week in just one day but my god, was it worth it! I should also mention the place was packed and the diligent staff worked very hard to keep up with all the orders and they did a great job! My only suggestion is adding the ability to provide customers with a glass of water. I DEFINITELY will be back!!!

They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They had a good flavor and were of good quality. The sauce on them was delicious. The jambalaya was good, but not great. It didn't have any shrimp and was a little on the dry side. It was full of flavor and had chicken and sausage in it with rice, peppers, and some herbs. It was spicy, but not too hot to eat. I will be back to try some other dishes, such as the shrimp po boy.

The food was just spectacular! So many options and such creative spins that tasted out of this world. Everything was served hot and fresh. My guests RAVED all night long about how amazing the food was. Several took food home and the texts rolled in the next day as well. On top of that, the staff was just amazing. So personable, friendly, accommodating, while working quickly and efficiently. Everyone enjoyed hanging out and talking with them while ordering. My party truly would not of been the same without them there. I will definitely use Smash Time again and highly recommend!

Came here on Walnut Wednesday. From a Cleveland.com article, I had heard that Smash Time and SWAT…read moreburgers were two new food trucks coming to Walnut Wednesday. I specifically sought out to try one of them. SWAT's menu specializes in stuffed burgers and they have some very creative options. I was looking for something lighter and healthier so I went with Smash Time. Their menu consists of different taco variations + apps like bacon wrapped pierogies and Rockefeller frites. I wasn't in love with the prices (apps were $6 and tacos sold 2 for $10 or 3 for $12) as it prohibited me from trying an app along with a taco without spending at least $16 on lunch. Comparatively, SWAT appeared to be priced well with unique burger creations ranging from $8 to $10 along with $3 sides. I ordered the gangnam style tacos with roast pork, kimchi and chili sauce. The pork was flavorful, but it felt like a taco I could make myself at home. Nothing really stood out from the large, competitive taco game - normal flour tortilla, some cabbage and what tasted like store bought chili sauce. It was ok but it did not make me wanna dance gangnam style. I would be back to try the rockefeller frites (the lady in front ordered them and they looked awesome), but I won't seek this food truck out specifically amongst the bunch.

As overpriced as this was, I was at least expecting it to taste great. To my disappointment, it all tasted horrible. It tasted like old oil was used. To pay that much for so little and have it taste so bad that I didn't eat more that a few bites is irritating. I will not be going back.

It was somewhat flavorful and I liked the red sauce they put on it, but it wasn't a "knock-my-socks-off" dish. I probably won't order it again. Since this is currently the best food truck in Cleveland, I expected more. There wasn't any Asian flavor in the dish. It wasn't spicy or anything. In fact, I would venture to say that it was bland. My co-worker ordered the Yunnanese Noodles and he didn't have a strong opinion on the flavors. I would still like to try the banh mi in the search for great flavor, but I don't expect to find it here. The quality of the food was very good as was the texture, but I was surprised by the lack of flavor.
