It was a frigid Thursday late morning in January. After being held against my will in a long…read morebusiness meeting downtown, I emerged from the building hangry. I was planning to hit up any fast food joint to cure my hunger, but to my surprise, parked adjacent to the parking lot was a big, blue food truck called "The Olive Branch." At 15 degrees Fahrenheit, the idea of standing outside for more than 30 seconds was unappealing, but my hunger was a bigger problem. With my wife in tow, I didn't want to have her sit and make her wait for me, but she asked if I wanted to order food from the truck. With her blessing, I decided to pull the trigger and walk over. I do love Mediterranean food, and to point out the obvious, this food truck was definitely that...but the first thing I noticed as I approached was "HOT CHOCOLATE $3" in big letters on the ordering window. I immediately decided that instant that I didn't know what I was eating yet, but I knew what I was going to wash it down with! The special, also posted on the window, was "Gyro Tacos" - and it showed a picture of two taco-looking items, but I assumed they had gyro fixings instead of taco meat. So, I told the nice lady, "Give me a hot chocolate and the special." I asked her, "Can you make those fast?" and she didn't hesitate. Within 2.5 seconds, she threw three tortillas on the cooking surface, and I was already thinking, "Hmm, three tortillas, not two - YASSS!" They accepted Apple Pay, so I appreciated their technological savvy in 2025. You know what else? She was so nice, she gave me a discount on the hot chocolate for no reason at all! All in all, I waited less than five minutes for the tacos. To fight the cold, I stood in the sun, rotating my body 180 degrees every 15-20 seconds. Meanwhile, amazing smells oozed out of the cracks of the food truck. After a quick moment, she handed me the "to-go" box and hot chocolate. I went back to my Jeep and opened the box. The tacos were neatly and skillfully assembled, visually packed to the gills. I basically devoured them like a dog being introduced to a perfectly seasoned, medium rare Tomahawk Steak at his last meal. They tasted like high-quality ingredients, very flavorful, with yummy, flaky, light feta cheese sprinkled on top. The hot chocolate was also the bomb. Afterwards, I felt full and satisfied. I don't normally tip the owner/chef/operator (which I assumed who this person was), but I decided to do so anyways due to their generosity. It was appreciated. If you're downtown and see this bright blue truck, swing by and say Joe sent you. I'd recommend this food truck to anyone. Thx for the extra taco and the discounts! I wish you luck through the winter!

The first time I came here they were doing the food truck event at the Rivet's stadium because of…read moreCOVID. I had the gyro and fries and they were very good. Since then I have discovered they park down the street from my work on Thursdays. I started ordering the Greek rice bowl which I think is fantastic. I usually don't eat all of the pita when I get a gyro anyway so the rice bowl is perfect for me. It comes with a Greek salad, rice, choice of meat, and a few pita triangles. I like to add feta and tzatziki sauce too. You can also order ahead on their website. I usually do that since I'm typically getting it for lunch when I'm at work.

They had mac and cheese, bbq pulled pork, bbq pulled chicken, and baked beans. I'm not a meat eater but I tried the pulled pork and it was quite good. The smoke flavor was nice, and their bbq sauce is tangy! Apparently they park their food truck at Generations Brewery a few times each week -- make sure to stop by for a beer and some good food. And if you're looking for someone to cater your event, folks said they're great to work with!
