(Dined 06/12/23 MO @ 5:00pm): Pretty cool eats at this food truck!…read more In celebration of the live return of "2023 LA Beer Week" after our recent COVID pandemic closure lockdowns, I was first introduced to Cool PlanEat Food Truck at North Hollywood's Lawless Brewing Co. as I attended a panel discussion on the current state of the L.A. County brewery scene. Although I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, this was my very first encounter with this meals-on-wheels establishment. With a cool name in place and my plan to eat whatever they served, was their food out of this world!? QUICK BIO "Born from a trajectory of NY, VT to now sunny Sherman Oaks in California, Cool PlanEat germinated as a vision that would bring together and align a socially conscious food business concept with owner Sandy's personal convictions. Cool PlanEat is about starting with thoughtfully sourced ingredients that create wonderful dishes while utilizing sincere eco-friendly business practices. Though they are very VEG forward, there truly is something for everyone's appetite. Come try their Cuban Sandwiches (NY Magazine 2004...one of NYC's Best), or their signature superfood "Fat Yam"; and top it all off with a Dark Chocolate Flan or Coconut Chia Pudding! The salads and Gaia Bowls excite all the senses and leave you feeling especially happy. Keeping the PlanEat Cool, while warming up your tummy, book Cool PlanEat for any and all your catering occasions." PURCHASE Signature Cuban Sandwich w/Side Asparagus Spears ($15.00): Fresh French bread mojo'd, a thin drizzle of mustard, sliced Swiss cheese, house-made thin pickle slices/ham/house roasted pork-griddled and flattened to garlic heaven, the crusty bread collapsed into the layers of flavorful meats, while the seasoned asparagus acted as a palate cleanser. A tad on the pricey side but very tasty nonetheless https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=cDoMD4PC3KW2cwc05PXXNg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Guava Cream Cheese Bread Pudding ($7.00): Homemade custard-drenched breads baked with cream cheese and guava and served with whipped cream, every bite of this tantalized your taste buds with sweetness and varying degrees of textures. This easily could've acted as a meal on its own, and honestly, they had me at guava https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IeLfCK5RhEsRIAre31QdOg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE A friendly woman (Sandy) greeted me as I approached the truck, quickly took my order, and a little over ten minutes later my food was delivered to me inside the brewery by the same kind woman. All was straightforward and greatly appreciated - thank you! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever the event was held. In this case, the event took place at Lawless Brewing Co. with a small private lot and plenty of free parking along the main drag of Craner Ave. and all nearby residential streets. Another option was a driving service like a bus, taxi, Lyft, or Uber (no nearby Metro train station) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with an exterior food menu, separate order and pick up windows, no specific area for condiments, napkins, and utensils (these items were given to you) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Td3-hYvFzZSXrfJc710UxQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, no designated seating area except for the brewery itself, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs nor any background music except what was playing inside the brewery. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wlvUzsjPt2jx2xuw1XMiBw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Cool PlanEat Food Truck was a nice relatively healthy alternative to the plethora of options out there, and I would consider them again (at the very least the bread pudding!). The menu was extremely limited, leaned more towards being health-conscious, and probably rotated quite frequently. The prices were a tad on the higher end, the food and portion sizes were good, and the service had a lovely personal touch. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $22.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I bought my lunch from this food truck when I attended the SFV Pride event…read more They were totally accommodating and made sure to ask what I like and don't like before making my food. (I'm vegan-lite & an onion-hater. lol) I'm sorry to say that I don't know the name of what I ordered but it was great! It was a grilled yam w/ the most delicious grilled green beans I've ever imagined. It had garbanzo beans, quinoa, the sweetest papaya I've ever tasted and a bunch of other things (but not squished up together. . . more like delicately stacked so I could taste everything individually). I believe it was $16 - totally worth it. Totally nice people. I hope to visit again.

The food is prepared on site and was finished and ready to eat at exactly 6 p.m. as we requested. We had a party of about 120 people and nobody was left wanting more. Great vegetarian option with a very tasty mix of grilled peppers and onions, super fresh rice and great beans. And I can't forget to mention the chips and salsa! Best salsa I've ever had. The red sauce is amazing and I should have purchased a pint to bring home because it reminds me of my grandma's homemade salsa; spicy and flavorful and perfect with a crisp tortilla chip. Pricing is great for the amount of food and service was even better. I cannot say enough good things about Tacos on Wheels. Please give them a call they are an absolute pleasure to work with and the tacos are the best. Our boys raved about the tacos all night!

Well I've personally known Jacqueline for a couple years until I mistakenly referred her to a good…read morefriend of mine for a small commercial job last fall. My friend (producer) hired Jacqueline due to my recommendation and vouching for her work. He was trying to impress the client for the first job in order to lock in all the other future jobs. I thought Jacqueline would be fair and good to him. Jacqueline quoted my friend (producer) for 35 people. He gave her enough funds for 50 people just to ensure there is enough food for a 3 day small boutique commercial. Due to her miscalculations and food preparing skills, she almost ran out of food the first day. So the producer (good person he is) gave her more money to ensure it doesn't happen on day 2. By the end of the third day, she hands him final bill totaling the 3 days worked, all her miscalculations, and her preparation/clean-up time (including dish-washing time?!!). ALL consisted of the price doubling from her original quote!! He was outraged. He decided to pay her full just to get her out of his life forever! With all said and done, almost a year later... She NEVER once provided a W-9, Invoice, and Itemized list of all the charges! My producer friend and I both tried contacting her for that information. Every time I personally went out of my way to try and help my friend, she snapped saying "it's none of my business," "And she doesn't appreciate me coming at her about it." I referred her, and I felt obligated to help make the situation right with him. JUST A WARNING: I've learned my lesson with Jacqueline. Be sure to look at her character and her habits first!! Those are your red flags. She is definitely a very sloppy, disorganized person. And she is always playing the victim of something. She doesn't keep her word which is the most important part. I mistakenly came across her yelp page today and felt it was my responsibility to contribute my awful experience with Chef Jacqueline!

We found them to be thorough, incredibly affordable, and have delicious food. Their price was unbelievable and what they offered was unmatched. Deciding on them was an easy decision and even easier once we tried their food and found it to be great! We had the following: Chicken Marsala- everyone raved about this dish from the chicken not being dry and the sauce well-seasoned Roast beef- heard lots of good things in regards to it having excellent flavor Roasted red potatoes- these were a hit and very yummy Caesar salad- your standard Caesar but was well dressed Mixed green salad with cheese and fruit- just as good as the Caesar Sautéed veggie medley- this included zucchini and bell peppers which were perfectly seasoned and not mushy! The veggies were perfectly cooked and was something that I was fearful would be ruined cause it is hard to not overcook veggies in those serving trays! The meal also came with bread, water, and iced tea. We opted to order a fruit and cheese display for the cocktail hour. It was a selection of melons and everything seemed to look well presented. The fee we paid included the cost of a cake from Creative Cakes and for EA to cut and serve our guests. You can read my CC review but we had NO cake leftover! The servers were friendly and took care of everything. They came ready to get everything set up and we didn't have a single issue aside from one table saying that they wished they didn't take their plates so fast because they wanted more food! Hardly a "complaint!" I highly encourage anyone to check them out and use them for their catering needs...especially if you are getting married at The French Estate. The package and deal they offer is truly incredible and the two work together so very well!

What was weird was that I was the first customer bc they just arrived at my apartment complex, but when my bf tried to get one too, the woman taking orders said I got the last one. Well, the first thing I noticed is that the vinegar in the rice was overdone compared to the rolls my bf got. Then we noticed the tuna looked brown, and finally tasted the tuna by itself, which tasted off. It feels like they were trying to cover up the bad tuna taste with more rice vinegar or something. It's disappointing because this one is a more special/expensive roll but it tasted worse than the normal ones. If you really want to go here, just stick with their normal rolls. Otherwise they might give you old fish. Ugh

Chef Lee of Taste Thyme Catering LLC and his assistants were hired to provide catering services for…read morea family reunion on July 15, 2023. The contract with Chef Lee regarding his services was worked out several months ago, as well as the menu. The initial communication with Chef Lee was outstanding. Through the initial planning phases, the selection of the menu, and the date and time of the event was worked out several months prior to the event, and we were pleased. On the day of the event we had communicated with Chef Lee, and he agreed, that he would be at the venue by 10 AM. When 11 AM rolled around and Chef Lee was not on site we placed a call to him. He advised us that he would be there within the hour. Chef Lee and his crew arrived at the venue at 1:45, more than three hours past the agreed upon time. This was a bit disappointing as the program called for a 3pm start time. Aside from the lack of communication from Chef Lee regarding his plans to conduct prep work at his location rather than the venue, everything else was very professional. Once he and his crew arrived, they were nonstop with the prep, setup, cooking, and execution of their services. By 3pm when the guest began arriving, Chef Lee was serving appetizers. The appetizers consisted of a wonderful bruschetta laced with tomatoes and strawberries, a marinated mushroom cup, and sautéed chicken in a delicious sauce When the buffet was ready, Chef Lee had the Surf & Turf Mac & Cheese and mushrooms, and a beautiful salad nicely presented on a beautiful table adorned with seasonal flowers. Aside from the communication glitch, Chef Lee and his crew provided a wonderful meal that everyone raved about.

We texted Chef Lee several times and he kept saying that he was 10 minutes away which was not true. Once he arrived, he did not apologize- just acted like everything was fine. The food itself was terrible. The crab cakes were burnt, the chicken was dry, and the shrimp had burnt bits on them (perhaps the grill was not cleaned?). The paella that was specifically ordered & that everyone was anticipating was actually spicy jambalaya and very disappointing. Everyone had been anticipating the food and we were especially hoping to eat well after waiting 3 hours for it to arrive- sadly we were all disappointed. Hiring this company to cook for our party was expensive and what we got was not worth the price.

They damaged our property while leaving the event, never informed us, never apologized, and have been extremely slow to respond. A month later, I had to reach out again for an update. Now, Im forced to pay for the repairs myself and submit the bill while waiting for their insurance pay. I'm now out several hundred dollars for something that should have been handled immediately. They lost a loyal customer over an issue that could have been resolved quickly and professionally. What's also upsetting is we tipped the guy generously and that how they left our property.
