Lobster, Spicy Mac with Bacon, Buffalo Chicken, Pulled Pork, Tri-Tip, Three Cheese. Those were our choices when my employer hired Cheesy Amigos to cater an employee appreciation lunch. Lance showed up with two panini presses and sandwiches ready to go. He would cook three sandwiches at a time in each press. When they had good grill marks and the cheese was all gooey, he'd remove them and cut them into halves or fourths. I liked the idea of the fourths, it enabled us to sample multiple sandwiches. I was able to sample all of the offerings as there was plenty of leftovers for all of us to take home. The air fryer resurrected them perfectly at home. Here are the sandwiches and their descriptions. I put them in the order of which I liked them and what some of my coworkers thought. *(1) Lobster: Langostino lobster tails, Oaxaca cheddar and sharp cheddar served on French bread layered with chipotle aioli The lobster was my favorite. I love lobster so it had an edge on the others coming in. The two sharp cheddars were a great compliment to the sweet buttery lobster meat. The chipotle aioli added a hint of spice and the French bread was the perfect vehicle. Excellent. *(2) Buff. Chick: Sliced Buffalo chicken marinated in Franks Red Hot sauce with blue cheese and 3 pepper cheddar cheese on jalapeño cheddar bread A few coworkers said it was too much blue cheese. Impossible I say! Spicy Frank's marinated chicken, 3-pepper cheddar and jalapeno bread provided the heat. Blue cheese cooled it down. It was perfectly blue cheesy! Excellent. *(3) Spice Mac: Creamy macaroni & cheese smothered with 3 pepper cheddar and crispy Applewood smoked bacon served on jalapeño cheddar bread Very clever paring mac 'n cheese with a grilled cheese sandwich. The bacon delivered! Excellent. *(3) Pulled Pork: Marinated pulled pork with tangy vinegar BBQ sauce topped with cheddar cheese on French bread Tied for 3rd with Spice Mac. The pork was delicious, the BBQ sauce was very good as well. Excellent. Here's an idea: Combine the two! Spice Mac with BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich! *(4) 3-Cheese: Blend of cheddar, provolone and mozzarella melted to perfection on French bread Cheddar. Provolone. Mozzarella. That's all you really need to know. Excellent. *(5) Tri-Tip Bourbon marinated beef Tri Tip with steakhouse onion-aged cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese on French bread To be fair, the Tri-Tip was #1 on a lot of coworker's lists. I thought it was really good. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly. I did find it a bit under-seasoned. I was in the minority. I heard one co-worker describe it as "Amazing!" While it may have been #5 on my list, it was still...excellent. Service from Lance was great. He was super friendly. This was a work event, but I would definitely entertain the idea of hiring Cheesy Amigos for a private event. read more

Lance did a great job for my mother in law's 70th birthday party. We had 30 people at a community park in Carlsbad. Lance arrived and set up early and was ready to go when people arrived. Everyone sampled all the different sandwiches-lobster, tri tip, fig and goat cheese, spice cheesy, applewood smoked bacon. All the sandwiches were delicious and the side salad was great as well. Lance was easy to work with and very communicative. read more

Hired The Cheesy Amigos for a company lunch (35-45 people) & we had a great experience from the logistical coordination go the end of the luncheon. They have a great & efficient set up, along with great insight into what sandwiches will work best for a variety of people and dietary restrictions. Price was very fair as well for the experience & quality of the sandwiches. Will definitely use them again if we have the opportunity! read more

These guys really know how to make a toasty panini! SImple operation where sandwiches are freshly made, daily and then carried in their cart reefer, for toasting fresh to order. The quality of the bread is fantastic and the fillings are wonderful. I have visited them on two different occasions when they've been at ChuckAlek brewery in Ramona. The Grilled cheese sandwich has a wonderful combination of cheeses with just a little bit of pepper for zest. The Lobstah sandwich is divine, though the second time I had it and they reformulated with new cheeses and frankly, I prefer the original recipe (just like we all did with Coke). Hopefully, they too will see the folly of their ways and revert to the original recipe! The bacon and egg is unbelievably good, flavor unbelievably complex. It is now my favorite. Definitely get a couple of sandwiches. Tasty, good but not overly filling (a good thing), so you can get two with a friend and because they're served sliced in half, you can then mix 'n match and try two different sandwiches. Friendly folks! read more

Had a great time with Lance today. He showed up on time... the food was flipping AMAZING and everyone loved the experience. We will def work with them again. Thanks so much! read more

Cheesy Amigos just catered our block party. I can't say enough positive about Lance and Kyle. From the first phone call they were professional and reliable. They were also very flexible with us as we were on a budget and even with RSVPs, you never know how many people will show up. We only had them do the sandwiches, which were delicious, and easy to eat as most people stood up. We did our own salads on the side (from Costco) and they had no problem with that. I got lots of comments about how much everyone liked the food. I can't say enough positive comments about this company and will definitely book them again. read more

I found this foodie truck at the Sand Sculpture Exhibit over the Labor Day Weekend. What a good find! The Cheesy Amigos offer up cheesy sandwiches. I tried the Spicy Triple Cheese sandwich. They grill the sandwich panini style. Filled with yummy mac n cheese. They were making each sandwich as they were order so they were piping hot and fresh. Pricing is decent. Customer service was top notch. I would try them again. I want to try the Lobster Mac sandwich next time. I just need to stumble across this foodie truck again. read more

Oh my gosh, what a party! We invited Lance over for catering after meeting him at a birthday party. We had about 25 adults over and he was well prepared. The sandwiches are amazing and all our guests were really impressed. His pace was great too! He showed up about an hour before the meal to set up and was funny and very respectful while getting ready. When it was time to eat everyone was satisfied and thanking us for having Lance over. His pricing was generous, the quality of his food was amazing and his service was excellent on top everything. I highly recommend Cheesy Amigos for your next event!!! read more

They catered for my little brothers elementary school. I ordered the mac and cheese one and it had mac and cheese and bacon on bread. Its really pretty and had nice grill marks on them, the price wasn't really worth it at $6 though... I thought it'd be delicious as it said gourmet. My cheese wasn't as I expected to be oozing. Not worth the money just make one for yourself. read more

Cheesy Amigos - Mac n cheese sandwhich - New American Near Me

Really, truly delicious sandwiches! These guys really turned a mediocre type of food into a high end meal with a variety of outstanding flavors! My absolute favorite is the Oktoberfest sandwich, they don't always carry it but you can email/call them and order a special sandwich at no charge! They are nice guys and have perfectly filled this niche in the market! read more

Their stuff is consistently fresh, inventive and delicious. Had their sandwiches recently at a special marketing event and at a brewery's trivia night -- and they knocked it out of the park both times. Didn't know until coming here that they catered! read more

I've been looking forward to finding this food truck and today was the day! It definitely was worth the wait and lived up to my expectations. Highly rec the buffalo chicken with the tri-tip and Mac & cheese tied for second. Incredibly fast service, great prices and awesome grilled cheese! #amazingness read more

Cheesy Amigos - Amazingness (Mac & cheese, buffalo chicken, tri tip) - New American Near Me

BEST SANDWICHES EVER. I can't even describe how good they are, but yelp has a minimum character limit. Try them and you will see!

They actually are better grilled cheeses than any other I've tried anywhere. The recipes seem so simple, but I think they have actually put a lot of thought and effort into making their sandwiches really really good. I'm actually NOT a huge grilled cheese fan, but these are incredible. read more

These guys are AWESOME! Had a private party on the beach and they were prompt and served amazing food! Not expensive and delicious! Everyone had a blast and they were laid back and fun to be around. Everyone at the party raved about the food! Perfect! read more

What's not to love about grilled cheese? Already an awesome food, it gets taken to new levels of deliciousness by Cheesy Amigos. I learned about this food truck/company when I began my search for a special event caterer. I was able to get in touch with Lance, find out when he was setting up at a local brewery, and go ahead and try some of the sandwiches. After sampling the tri tip, spicy mac n cheese on jalapeno bread, and caprese sandwiches, we were sold. We have hired them for our event and I can't wait to indulge in more delicious grilled cheese! read more

Booked this truck for a school function & confirmed with them the day before the event. The next day they were a no-show. They had sent an email the night before about having trouble. Never contacted me by phone or text & did not answer my call the morning of the event. Late into the event they sent a text. Not very professional especially when being depended on for an event. read more

To be clear, this is a food stand/cart, not a truck! Paid them a visit at their debut at Food Truck Fridays on Park and Meade today. Got the Caprese and Mac n Cheese grilled cheese (what? yes, you heard me right MAC N CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE). I believe it was like $6 each and they were both pretty great. Surprisingly, they did not feel as heavy as we had anticipated, which is notable since this is a big worry when all you are consuming for dinner is grilled cheese sandwich varieties. They use bread from bread&cie and they must do a nice herb/oil brush on the bread before they press it because it has great flavor on its own. The caprese was light, fresh, and of course, cheesy. They are considered gourmet, but compared to the GreenGo truck they were set up next to, they were much more traditional/homey/cost-friendly, which is fine by me! read more

I heard about Cheesy Amigos from a co-worker of mine so I thought I'd get them to come out to our office for a Food Truck Friday event. I got in contact with them and got them booked...or so I thought. The day of the event, the other food truck came and started setting up, but nothing from Cheesy Amigos. I called them, I texted them, nothing. Finally, I got a call from them informing me they forgot about the function and they weren't going to make it. A lot of people who were looking forward to grilled cheese sandwiches, and they ended up having to leave the office for lunch. Very disappointing and unprofessional, we won't be reaching out to them again. read more

Friendly, prompt , dependable ! We just used them today for my daughters shower, they promised me 4 different sandwiches they delivered 6! What a surprise, my guest were very happy and full! I will definitely use them again! read more

I love me some grilled cheese sammiches! Cheesy Amigos definitely delivers. I was at Hess Brewery in Miramar this evening and had the opportunity to try a couple sandwiches - the Mac & Cheese Panini and the Oktoberfest. I enjoyed these melted cheesy goodies so much that I bought a couple to go to take home to the husband. He enjoyed the sandwiches too! I would not mind finding these guys wherever I happen to be hanging out - their food and prices are great. The guys are super friendly and they apparently change their menu every once in awhile. I'll be following them on FB to keep up with their locations. I can't wait to try the lobster grilled cheese as well as the strawberry grilled cheese. Yum! read more

We had them cater a birthday party at our house & we were very pleased. Sandwiches were tasty, service was great & speedy. We will definitely consider using them again. read more

We had Cheesy Amigos cater our going away party for our daughter and son in law. They were absolutely amazing! From the start, Lance was so great with answering all my questions. At our party, they were so friendly and helpful! Amazing guys! The sandwiches were phenomenal!! It was a big hit because the concept was so different from the usual dogs and burgers. I can't say enough great things about this company. I highly recommend them if you are on the fence about booking them for your next event!! read more

PHENOMENAL FOOD!!! If I could give it more stars I WOULD! We had a workshop this last weekend, and invited Cheesy Amigos to provide lunch for our attendees. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! The sandwiches were made to perfection, and the options that they have more than satisfied everyone from my workshop! They were very friendly, funny, and really made our whole eating experience, that much more enjoyable! I would highly recommend them for any event you have. Cheesy Amigos is as good as it gets!!! read more

We had Cheesy Amigos cater our Easter party and they were amazing! The attendees were a mix of adults and children and everyone was happy with the menu. The sandwiches were delicious and it was great to have them freshly made throughout lunch. We chose the three cheese, tri tip and the cajun salmon melt. It was the perfect mix to cater to a variety of tastes. I would definitely recommend them as a caterer and have them back! read more

LOVE Cheesy Amigos! I hired Lance and Matt to bring their cart to a co-ed baby shower I recently hosted and they were totally the highlight of the party. They were extremely helpful and accommodating when picking a date, time and set up. During the party, Matt was so awesome taking orders, cooking everything quickly, and bringing the sandwiches in to guests. He totally went above and beyond. The sandwiches were unique and delicious. I sampled several different varieties and each one was amazing and full of good flavor. You can tell they use great ingredients and have a knack for pairing different tastes together. Thanks, Lance and Matt!! read more

We used Cheesy Amigos for our engagement party yesterday at Coronado Brewing Co. And could not before thrilled! Throughout the whole booking process the Cheesy Amigos were incredibly responsive and wonderful to work with. The food was amazing, outstanding service and very friendly. Our guests were raving about the sandwiches and total cost was actually less than expected. Thanks so much for making our party such a success! Would use these guys again in a heartbeat. read more

This is my second time doing a Yelp review (first was for the venue where we had the party and Cheesy Amigos catered) as Lance and his staff were so great I had to write one. Cheesy Amigos catered my sons 1st birthday party and were a HUGE hit with the kids and adults. It had rained the night before and suppose to rain the day of so I was VERY nervous with how we would be able to pull the party off but they had a great back up plan and it all worked out. Each grilled cheese was better than the next and everyone kept raving about how delicious they were. If you are thinking of using Cheesy Amigos, stop thinking about it and do it. I highly recommend them. read more
