    Pork Sisig and Lechon Kawali - super yummy!
    Darlene M.

    Great Filipino food truck to patronize - I highly recommend this place. Even though I'm Filipina and can get Filipino food any time I want, the food here is authentic and worthy of your support. Love their pork sisig. It's flavorful and meaty - no pig ears and pig cheeks, just the good stuff. Try it! I would have liked the Lechon Kawali to be a little more crispy, but it was still delicious. I loved the shanghai lumpia - tastier than usual, not dry, and had a good crunch. Looking forward to trying their Bicol Express next time. Yes, there will be a next time!

    Go glad cooked by Gio came to American Canyon! You can never go wrong with the pork sisig and adobo combo place with lumpia! All cooked fresh and it's all so flavorful! Check this place out and ask about their catering options too! Follow them on IG to see what special they have for the week!

    Solid solid pork sisig. Came with two mini egg rolls but the overall flavor was phenomenal! The flavors were so bright and deep.

If you see the Dog Wash suite Bonito Poke is a couple doors down on the right side (corner unit). If you look on Google Maps I think it used to be Crave Cafe in 2022. Very cute cafe. The customer service was really above and beyond too. I asked for a recommendation and the person working took the time to ask how hungry I am and if I want spicy food to really tailor a recommendation to what he thinks I may enjoy. I was also offered water. The food came out fresh and super quickly! They included chopsticks and napkins in a cute branded paper bag. The poke was really good! I think for the basic mexi Cali poke it was $19.90. The portions are definitely worth the price! There's also the option for add ons. The fish was very fresh. They have more than just poke! They have hot items too. I'd like to come back soon to try the loco moco or other items for a weekend brunch!

The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy. My friend ordered a quesadilla and it was absolutely massive! I definitely would only recommending ordering a quesadilla if you're sharing it, or if you're coming with a massive appetite. Overall, Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño was a nice gem we randomly stumbled upon while routing to In-N-Out for burgers. Between the two, I would certainly save my stomach space for tacos from Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño next time.

    Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño has really good food, but there are a few things I think people should…read moreknow before they visit. One thing that caught me off guard is that there are no prices posted anywhere. They simply tell you your total at the end, and in my experience, the prices are higher than I expected. To help others, here's what I was charged: Aguas frescas (Horchata, Strawberry Horchata, Piña, Jamaica): $7 each Burrito: $18 Mulita: $9 each Torta: $13 Huarache: $16 The food itself is very good, especially when they're not busy. When it's slower, the portions are generous and everything seems to be made with more care. During the rush, though, I've noticed the portions get smaller and the food feels a little rushed, which is disappointing considering the prices. One of my favorite things is the salsa bar. They have a great variety of salsas and toppings, including cucumbers, pickled cabbage, and other fresh additions, and you can help yourself. They also had four different aguas frescas available when I visited: Horchata, Strawberry Horchata, Piña, and Jamaica, which was a nice selection. I do think the customer service could be improved. A little more friendliness and better communication, especially about pricing, would make a big difference. Overall, the food is tasty and they offer a great selection, but I'd really like to see prices posted and more consistency with portions, especially during busy hours. Hopefully this review helps anyone wondering what to expect before ordering.

I went for the. La lengua, (tongue) taco, and a fish taco. The gentleman was very friendly and my food came quickly. There was no seating, so I just ate in my car. The tacos were delicious. The lengua was extremely tender and flavorful., as was the fish taco. The red onions and the slaw in the fish taco. Really added to the flavor. The fish taco also had a pink sauce. It may have been mayonnaise, based, , it was very delicious, and just had a little bit of spice to it. There were also some grilled onions and a jalapeño in the box. I passed on the jalapeño, but the grilled onions were fantastic. In addition to the food, there was a red sauce and a green sauce, but both were too spicy for me. There was also a small bag of chips which were not greasy at all, and were crunchy and delicious. I also got a bag of fresh carrots, and another jalapeño. Again, I stayed away from the jalapeño, but the carrots were well marinated, just a tiny bit spicy, but beyond delicious. For all this great food, I only paid 10 bucks. A great lunch at a decent price. Thank you

    Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

All of the food was delicious (and the artichoke dip is still my favorite thing ever). We were given the option to pay in full upfront so we did.  When Covid hit, Gabe was very understanding and accommodating about moving the date, which we did twice. We finally celebrated in June 2022, and unfortunately the team was dealing with some key staff out for Covid.  We were super happy with Gabe until pretty much the day of the wedding itself. He had previously said he was going to come by in the morning for setup but never showed up or answered our message asking if he was still coming. We were also supposed to have the big truck showcased on the property and they arrived with the smaller truck. Come to find out the big truck had been inoperable and they couldn't fix it that morning. When the staff started arriving, the first thing they tell me is how they're short staffed and needed to move their crew around, service might be slower, etc. This felt unprofessional especially since it all ended up being fine. We paid for 120 head count and only had about 90 ppl show up, so we told them to leave leftovers. I'm not sure what happened but we had zero leftovers, even though Gabe was saying we'd have a bunch. They also didn't serve coffee in the evening though we had paid for it. Overall we've gotten so much positive feedback on the food and bar, the crew was great, but the unprofessionalism in the final moments really left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure some of this had to do with the fact that we paid in 2019 and that doesn't feel fair given that it was an option he offered to us.
