Burgers are the perfect vehicle to go a different direction and Ban Ban is right on course with its offerings. This place was good. A word on the service. It was on point and pretty much what you would expect. BUT We watched them go out of their way when a customer who appeared to be Neurodivergent came in and ordered. They were awesome and that kid had such a smile on his face when his burger arrived. I would give this place 6 stars if yelp would let me. Grapow Smash: Typical smash burger with a perfectly cooked egg. The resulting gooey yolk was glorious and the bun did its best till its structural integrity failed with about 2/3rds yet. The Grapow added quite a bit of heat but the sweet potato fries helped to tamp that down. The only thing that kept this burger out of the top 5 was the pickle. It simply was blown out by the onslaught of richness and the burger needed a briney element to provide balance. We are in nitpicky range here with this. This burger slides into a tie at #8 in my rankings and is the highest ranked fusion burger so far. Sweet Potato Fries: Not on the rotation currently according to reviews (lets face it I am behind in my reviews) but perfectly fried, and helped tamp down some of the heat.

This was recommended by a friend and that the al pastor burrito is their top choice. We came on a…read moreweekday evening and I was very pleased with how quick it was for us to order, but we came when there was practically no line. Plenty of spots were already filled with people eating by or near their cars. I like that we have this whole parking lot of Ralph's to kind of relax and chill at while eating. We didn't stay too long after we ate but I think overall the vibes were nice especially with some upbeat music playing. We would throw our plates in the trashcan on the sidewalk but I can see it get full quick. I tried out 3: the al pastor taco, the lingua taco, and the carne asada taco. Definitely the al pastor meat was something else. Extremely flavorful, tender, and the meat was chopped finely. I think without any salsa, the tacos would taste pretty standard. I pumped a good dose of each salsa from the toppings area. Ps I really like the fact that the salsas are poured that way rather than through a shared spoon scooper. It makes the experience feel more clean. I also think that you being able to add what toppings you'd like on a burrito before it gets wrapped is nice. Anyways, I think that the option for tacos having some grilled cheese makes this also much more enjoyable! $2 per taco, very affordable!

The menu is super straightforward, and the two guys running the truck were really friendly. One of them even stepped out to hand-deliver my order in an adorable, logo-stamped bag, such a nice touch! I went with the Avoholic, and it was incredible. The avocado was piled high on two thick, fluffy slices of brioche, and I was pleasantly surprised to find they stuff the avo all the way to the bottom, not just piped from the top. Every bite was loaded and delicious! This was the perfect Saturday morning treat. Already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their sammies!

I was told to try this place by a friend after chatting about tacos, he gave a shining review of…read morethe food truck and said he was happy they got a spot near our office which he had tried a few items from as well. Was excited so I got carnitas tacos, Baja fish tacos, and an asada burrito. The asada is pretty good and was the main redeeming quality item of the meal. The fish taco batter was too heavy. The flavor doesn't come through well and it ends up tasting mostly like the crust. Biggest disappointment was the carnitas. The meat itself has a good flavor, but the amount of oil it carried was insane. The tortillas were completely inedible, and their handmade tortillas was their big selling point from my friend, so it was a bummer. I'd probably go back for chicken or beef in the future, but skipping the rest.

Personally, I still like Brothers Cousins and Leo's better, but this street stand also carries an impressive selection of tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas and more with NO WAIT. I love how their meats and tortillas are all freshly grilled to order, although I found their seasoning a bit on the heavy side. They do load their tacos with a generous amount of meat, but the price per taco is a bit on the higher end ($3.25 each). Overall, highly recommend checking them out if you're in the Sawtelle area and Brothers Cousins has a long line! Featured here: Al pastor tacos Asada tacos
