I thought I was trying this food truck for the first time this weekend, but it was actually a second. Devilicious is a San Diego-based food truck and a long-time participant in the twice-yearly Great American Foodie Fest in Las Vegas. I must've tried them last time because I found a picture of the duck confit grilled cheese. Whether I was slacking on reviews/photo uploads that weekend or I intentionally avoided doing the review, that sandwich clearly wasn't memorable. But I tried them again because of the relative lack of out-of-town newcomers, and I wasn't disappointed this time. My choice was the Cali Pork Belly Burrito ($11, at least for this event), their version of the San Diego local favorite California burrito. It's a burrito with french fries inside, and the first one I ever tried was fantastic. This rendition is an even larger departure from its Mexican inspirations, with the salsa verde and perhaps the crema being the only Mexican flavors discernible. However, it was still a filling treat because of the delicious, not-too-chewy pork belly that's cut into large chunks. The potato were pretty good too. My only issue was that one half of my burrito had zero meat when I got to the bottom; fortunately, I still had the other half still to eat. The Cali burrito seems to be a newer menu item, and I hope it stays on. And I hope that Devilicious keeps coming back so that I can work my way through the rest of their menu, including their popular lobster grilled cheese. read more

On a recent longass international flight, I watched the feel-good drama movie "Chef", where Jon Farveau reinvents himself and opens a Latin inspired food truck making meaty tasty looking Cubano sandwiches for $7...not greatest movie, but it left me craving a cubano, badly! Its $9 for the real life Delivious food truck version of the Cubano sandwich...this was pretty darn good, but also pretty darn small! Its on sliced bread, not a long roll. I was still feeling hungry afterwards, but I didn't feel like paying another $9, nor $4 for fries...the motto is "Food is so good its bad"...the food is good, but the portion/price ratio is very bad. But to be honest, its probably enough of food for a sorority girl, a child, or a midget, but not for a grown 6ft-2inch 190lb male. As with all food trucks: No free water, no place to sit, no bathroom, nowhere to wash your hands, etc...it also doesn't help that I know of a little place in Clairemont that serves a bigger Cubano sandwich and with fries or a salad for only $5.95. read more

Devilicious - $9 Cubano sandwich...good but small for the price - New American Near Me

I had sandwiches from Devilicious for the first time at the Las Vegas Foodie Fest a week ago. The food I sampled was great tasting but I experienced two problems. Although my wife and I had already paid for 2 Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwiches about 20 minutes earlier, the food truck reported that it ran out of lobster on my order. So, my wife got hers but I did not get mine. Devilicious was kind enough to offer any other sandwich at no cost to make up for this loss, and an All Crab Crab Cake Sandwich was chosen as a substitute. But just before I bit into this sandwich I saw and pulled out two long, thin human hairs resting on the egg that hovered on top of the crab cake. After I shook this off and debated what to do, I decided to go ahead and eat the sandwich. The hairs were now gone, after all. The All Crab Crab Cake Sandwich, which contained tomato, lettuce, red and white onions, and the sunny-side up fried egg over a crab cake inside an English muffin, was delicious. The crab cake had a small backbite to it, as I believe is appropriate for a crab cake; and the warm running egg yolk spilling over the crab just took the taste experience up another notch. Truffle French Fries topped by Parmesan splinters were very good but not particularly memorable. My wife generously allowed me two bites of her Lobster Grilled Cheese, and they were a yummy mix of lobster and melted cheese. But one would think that at the end of the first day of the festival, Devilicious should have noticed that its stock of lobster was almost depleted, and therefore ordered an ample supply to restock for the second day, when I was there; or planned better to have enough lobster on hand to last for two full days at the outset. This would have enabled this popular food truck to avoid running out of its featured crustacean just 2 hours after the festival opened on Sunday. And, perhaps caps or hair nets are in order for all food handlers! So, five stars for the food, but only two for execution, on this particular visit. read more

My first time and I'm sure I'll be back. I just pulled into home when I saw this truck out in front of an apartment complex across the street. I was hungry and thought this might be a good option to anything I would cook this evening. Quick check of their Yelp page and based on all the good reviews I figured how could I go wrong. Everything on the menu sounds amazing but the vast majority of the reviews I read all mentioned the BBBLT (Bacon, Bacon, Bacon and more Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato) sandwich. In addition to being a traditional BLT with an abundance of Bacon, it's served on fresh sourdough bread with melted cheddar & jack cheeses and a fried egg. I figured I would play it safe and order this sandwich everyone was raving about and I had a side of their regular fries. They take credit cards so it was very convenient to pay. They made the sandwich fresh along with the fries and it wasn't a very long wait. I went back to my house to enjoy the meal. The sandwich came with a small salad with a balsamic dressing. The sandwich looks amazing with several thicker than average slices of bacon hanging out of either end of the sandwich. I parted it and the cheese was still melted and stringy. There was just a trace of the egg yolk dripping down. The sandwich literally looked too good to eat!!! I've seen pictures of food like this but rarely ever get a chance to actually taste something that looks this amazing. Well, looks were not deceiving! The bacon was amazing along with the fresh sourdough bread, perfectly cooked fried egg and incredible cheeses! Absolutely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. They have a website and fortunately, on the website they list all the locations their food truck will be throughout the week. I STRONGLY recommend you check out this list and if they are going to be in your neighborhood, you must try their food! I can't wait until they return to my neighborhood because I plan to try some of the other incredibly delicious sounding sandwiches on their menu! So, why not five stars if I'm raving so much about the food? Styrofoam to-go containers. Sorry 'Devilicious' but you cannot recycle Styrofoam here in San Diego County. There is one facility down near the border but I'm not driving all the way down there and the city will not pick up Styrofoam for recycling. Furthermore, there are SO many companies, here in San Diego, that make recyclable to-go containers. And I've personally priced it and compared to the Styrofoam containers, it might cost you an extra 8 cents per item which is a cost you could certainly pass along in the prices for your food. I would gladly pay a few cents more for you to use recyclable containers. Since they are San Diego companies, I'm sure you could get a better price than what I got off the internet. Anyway, just a thought but please get rid of the non-recyclable Styrofoam containers. read more

I've been dying to try this place out due to Food Network's show and so I finally got to try it and was rather upset that the portions weren't bigger. I mean, we're paying for "gourmet" food truck food here and the prices are rather steep considering you're just getting take out from a truck. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, which was served on an english muffin. The crab cake had a lot of fillers and wasn't memorable. The english muffin was of course your standard size and therefore, there wasn't a lot of crab meat loaded in between the muffins. My side salad was average, nothing special about it, so of course, I was still hungry. I will admit that their truffle fries are delicious! My husband got the lobster grilled cheese and while it was good, again, the portion was rather small. I took a huge bite and of course, he wasn't left with much to eat. It ended up being a rather pricey stop for lunch and we were still hungry. I would have given it more stars had the portions been bigger for it's price to size ratio. read more

Devilicious was parked at WonderCon 2014 today, and they were one of the few I seemed to be attracted to for the unique menu and good prices! (other truck being The Tasting Spoon) today i was stuck between the duck confit grilled cheese and the pork belly melt! i was highly considering getting mix, like the duck confit melt with some pork belly, BUT for it being my first time, I decided to go with their regular offering to get the true taste of their menu! so the duck confit melt was chosen, along with some truffle parmesan french fries! All together about $16, not too bad for the amount of food, but keep reading for the minor improvement I wish for! (Don't worry still 5 stars! the melt was delicious!! the duck was tender, juicy, shredded nicely and had a good sear and flavor to it! not too strong but a very wowing taste! there were also slices of caramelized onions, sharp and crunchy, and ooey gooey mozzarella cheese and gruyere cheese! the bread was not too thick, crispy, and soaked up all the delicious flavor! ONLY downside was for the price, i wish there was more meat! the truffle parm fries were amazingly delicious! some of the crispiest french fries i have ever had! a big bowl of them, with black truffle oil and some grated truffles as well, at first it doesn't seem to have truffles but once you start eating holy moly are these amazing!! on top were a mound of sliced/grated parmesan cheese! mmm sharp and salty! the only downside to this was the saltiness and wish the cheese had been mixed in more so the hot fries can melt it away! Overall, still a 5 star service! great service, fast ordering/food receiving and delicious food! read more

Devilicious is the only San Diego food truck I've been to multiple times and it is one of very few local trucks I know by name. This time we found it at the 2013 U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge & 3D Art Expo at the 'B' Street Cruise Ship Terminal Pier. I had the Lobster Grilled Cheese, with caramelized onions, tomatoes and jack and cheddar cheeses. I liked it but wasn't amazed - the savory tomato base overpowered any intrinsic richness there may have been in the lobster. Maybe I'm a purist and might have preferred just a traditional lobster roll, straight up, which I realize would have taken more lobster and a higher price. Still, the Lobster Grilled Cheese was a solid sandwich even if it didn't communicate the rich decadence I expected from its lobster base. My wife had the Duck Confit Grilled Cheese, with caramelized red onions, gruyere, mozzarella, and a "port honey sauce". She loved it. I tried it too - very good. I love duck. The kiddos had a plain grilled cheese, which was rich, buttery and also very well received. read more

One of the better food trucks that frequent the UTC area. I found the truck parked in front of ProFlowers and decided to buy some lunch. After looking at the menu I saw the Buffalo Chicken Melt. I thought this was a pretty funky grilled cheese sandwich so I said what the hell. The sandwich came with a salad (mixed greens) with a lightly dressed vinaigrette. The sandwich to my surprise was on a roll, not a grilled cheese type thing that I was expecting. No problem. This roll was generously loaded with chicken, onions, buffalo sauce. So much so that I was able to pick out some of the insides with a fork before I was able to use my hands and eat it. The chicken was a bit dry and some was pretty burnt but I appreciate the fact they use real chicken not the fake processed chicken strips that some places use. Overall the sandwich really delivered on what I was looking for. While I may not order this particular sandwich again, there is enough here to try Devilicious again. Recommended. read more

Well it's about time!!! It's a hit and miss when Devilicious is at the Mira Mesa Food Truck event. We opted to try the following: -Butter Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese ($12): Comes with a side of balsamic greens, which were OK. I like the crispness of the bread and the ooey gooey cheese. Unfortunately, there were only 4 pieces of lobster in the sandwich - 2 of which were on my side of the sandwich. -All Crab Cake ($8): Also comes with a side of balsamic greens. Again, liked the crispness of the toasted bread. It was OK. I wanted more since we split it and I felt I didn't have enough to actually taste the crab. -Strawberry Cheesecakewich ($4): Wanted to try something different and different it was! I actually didn't care for it and wished we could have swapped it out for the truffle fries. I left full, but not satisfied. Their standalone, 'Wich Addiction, is soooo much better!!!!!!! read more

I came here when there were a bunch of food trucks set up a mile from the convention center during Comic Con. I was excited to check out what food trucks San Diego has to offer. I'd have to say that I wasn't all that impressed with this truck. I was disappointed because I heard so much about the butter poached lobster grilled cheese. With the word devil in its name, you would think the food here would be a guilty pleasure or tempting, but all i felt afterwards was guilt for paying this much for such mediocre grilled cheese that I can make at home. Butter Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese - $12 for a grilled cheese sandwich?!?! I understand there are pieces of lobster in there, but there is no way that I'll ever pay for this again. The flavor of the lobster was very bland when I tried to lobster on its own. The cheese was too overpowering to get any taste from anything else. The texture of the lobster felt as if it wasn't fresh. OVERRATED and OVERPRICED. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lnuQkZ6du_RLEY8zCcXW5Q?select=ZUTgNxEsdlgDkQyl3P3jRw#HreA98zKmj3mnXeJnUYTOQ read more

Just tried the buffalo chicken melt, outside the Hilton, the sauce was good (but hey its buffalo souce!) blue cheese was good...but the actual chicken was dry and there was not much flavor there. I tried the chicken by itself..big mistake! It just tasted weird ..$10 later and I was very hungry so I ate half thank goodness for buffalo sauce. Very disappointed, I had high hopes for it. On the other hand.. lovely cashier she was nice..good service! Food I'll skip on it next time. read more

Devilicious - Put seasoning in that chicken please! - New American Near Me

I'd heard so much about Devilicious' Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich, I finally got the opportunity to give it a try. Unfortunately the hype was better than the experience itself and giving three stars is generous for what was offered on food alone. The actual bites of the sandwich that had lobster were to die for however the problem was, as other have claimed, the bites of lobster were limited. It was essentially an overpriced grilled cheese with caramelized onions. Yes, the cheese and caramelized onions are a great combination but not a great $12 combination. The sandwich was served with a small salad lightly topped with balsamic vinegar. Fortunately, there are a few things that are working for Devilicious: 1) notoriety from being on a nationally televised competition, 2) plenty of additional menu items so they do not have to live on the lobster grilled cheese alone and 3) the staff was very friendly and the service was excellent!! I was hoping to be blown away but unfortunately the only thing that blew away was the lobster in my sandwich. Perhaps next time...... read more

Pechanga Food Truck Festival: Way too rich for my blood....the lobster and grilled cheese sandwich. Sounded good, but was not a good choice for me. The cheese overwhelmed any taste of the tender lobster chunks in the sandwich. Wasted. By dissecting the sandwich and picking out the lobster, I finally found why this sandwich might cost $12. Yes, the lobster was done nicely, but because of the greasy bread and cheese, and no sides, would I pay that again? No. And after reading a recent review on Feb 21st, where the same sandwich cost $10, I feel taken. read more

I saw the photos of the Butter Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese advertised online. I have wanted to try it for so long, I didn't mind paying $12.00 for it. I was not very impressed. It was an ordinary grilled cheese sandwich with a few pieces of lobster in it. I wouldn't order it again. The guy working in the food truck was very nice, though. read more

Devilicious participated in the Gathering of Food Trucks at Fifty Seven Degrees [http://www.yelp.com/biz/mobile-food-gathering-fifty-seven-degrees-san-diego#hrid:RK8VMNyh1luQbUgaNFC56g, even though the weather wasn't cooperating. They didn't punk out on the event and that's solid on my street cred scorecard. I thought I had arrived early enough this evening to sink my teeth into their Lobster Grilled Cheese, but it was not available. I was so disappointed and apparently not the only one because a couple of other hopefuls jumped out of line when they heard the bad news. Oh well, I'll try another item...or two. Perhaps something deep fried would console my broken heart, or at least warm me up on this cold, rainy night. I went with the $4 Truffle Tots and some ($4 for 3 or $6 for 6) Fried Yumminess. The scratch made Truffle Tots were tasty little tater nuggets. The Yumminess were equally delicious croquettes with asparagus, pancetta, and risotto. This may need clarification, so Message me if an ingredient *edit is needed. I especially enjoyed the crunch from the breading as a contrast to the smooth, creamy fillings. These would be fun to share with friends [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N103v2SyEGkq_keIu42xlg?select=uo2dy_U4OyX5T_WXLfqj_w]. I unfortunately got a cold surprise at the uncooked center of one of the Yumminess bites, but the smaller sized tots were all cooked through properly as they were piping hot as we ate them at our table inside the wine bar. Customer service is very friendly and prompt. The truck's menu layout is bright and readable, however, a lot of people (including myself) asked about the Fried Yumminess because it isn't spelled out [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N103v2SyEGkq_keIu42xlg?select=-40Wy_7xnbDeQ4-k8hd2AA]. I dig the cute name and maybe the ingredients will rotate, but it's helpful to read about what's what. If Devilicious was parked near my 'hood again, I'd give them another try. I'm still curious about the indulgent lobster sando and other savory sandwiches. I'm also a fan of their baby logo. Deviliciously cute. read more

caught up with DEVILICIOUS at the FOOD TRUCKS and FUN event at BOOMER's in VISTA. love their logo and paint job -- very clever. ordered the SOFT-SHELLED CRAB CLUB, a combination BLT and GRILLED CHEESE sandwich. took a while to get our food out and i would argue that's much to the credit of KRISTINA REPP and her crew. it's hard not to give in to temptation (especially with a name like DEVILICIOUS) and hurry your food when lots and lots of anxious people are loitering at your doorstep clamoring to be fed. but some things can't be rushed. it takes time and patience (food of love, baby) to perfectly toast a grilled cheese until the outside's toasty, crispy and the inside's melty and mine was done perfectly. on the downside, not sure the SOFT-SHELLED CRAB added much besides a crunchy texture and some upscale gestalt. i'm afraid those bad boys always seem better in theory than they turn out in practice. the spicy house sauce (a sriracha mayo would be my guess) was more sweet than spicy but the BLT and grilled cheese elements of the CLUB sandwich were grubbin' great !!! read more

Devilicious - SOFT-SHELLED CRAB CLUB sandwich - New American Near Me

Great name. Nice folks. Cute logo. But the their signature dish--the lobster grilled cheese--doesn't work. In theory, it is a great idea--comfort food meets extravagance. However... Lobster is a delicate food. It's meant to be enjoyed with complementary ingredients. A big messy grilled cheese sandwich with grilled onions doesn't complement lobster--it overwhelms, destroys and then nukes it into oblivion. And then you are left with a $9 grilled cheese sandwich with lobster which you really cannot savor and enjoy. Good try but no cigar. read more

Well done Devilicious Food Truck Peeps. You gotta love that name.... I meet up with this food truck at the La Mesa Food Fest Gathering and tried their Pork Belly Melt with grilled Brussels, caramelized red onions, and cheese for $9.00 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/devilicious-san-diego?select=dpYIjD3jyitLl2QkovY-nQ#uhtTNl39iDJTe2UxX1QEAg). The melt was quite excellent and came a golden crust and with a side lightly dressed salad greens. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/devilicious-san-diego?select=dpYIjD3jyitLl2QkovY-nQ#VY7at-2cLtyqEevYhbdP9g) The pork belly was very well prepared with light crispy exterior and tender center. Between the two, it had great texture. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/devilicious-san-diego?select=dpYIjD3jyitLl2QkovY-nQ#NB1kF-uhKCe4TTqd7JbqFg) Its flavor was quite amazing and had a great grilled taste with hint of smoke. The Gruyere and Mozzarella cheese were well melted and were a great choice for the melt. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/devilicious-san-diego?select=dpYIjD3jyitLl2QkovY-nQ#1j88AbCauyiYPfDNZB7T3w) The Brussels sprouts were very tender and also had developed that great char flavor from the cooking process (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/devilicious-san-diego?select=dpYIjD3jyitLl2QkovY-nQ#3BD6FoYJk7AAqgkqVbNedQ). The onions were sweet and the fig base glaze brought this baby together well. It was a very enjoyable melt... The staff, the gentlemen and young lady who were running the truck were great. They all were in great spirits and had good senses of humor. I am always amazed with the quality of food that comes out of these trucks. How can you fail with a great pork belly melt... read more

Devilicious - Bacon, jalapeno, and cream cheese burger. Best thing I ever ate! - New American Near Me

really impressed. for some reason, i got it in my head that devilicious only served deep fried, grilled and greasy food. no idea where it came from. word back on the street was that the burger was really greasy and i wouldnt like their options. so i wrote them off -- even tho they come right to my work every week. but living social to the rescue to get me to give it a go! and what do you know...just as some of the other food trucks, their menu changes with some really unique and tasty items! burger? PASS. i just keep hearing mediocre and greasy Lobster grilled cheese? PASS. some people rave but equally people (and a coworker) have stated its just "ok" and def not worth nearly $10...muddled flavors and markup for having a "fancy" bottom feeder crustacean added to bread and cheese. but oh hey... grilled goat cheese sandwich with asparagus, caramelized onions, tomato and greens? well now that sounds promising and interesting. upgrade to caprese salad and i got some super generous fresh mozzarella balls and tomato added to the standard salad. along with the shaved parmesan truffle fries...that are HUGE and def sharable. WOW. it was all really, really good. portions seriously huge for food truck standard and everything i ate was outstanding....and not greasy. obviously my opinions are jaded since i got $12 worth of food for only $6, but even so, i thought the quality and quantity validated the price tag. keep a look out for some of the changing items...they seem to be more of the shining stars than their trademark regular food. and omg. they had watermelon soda! but my coworker grabbed the last one and i settled on my "0% Fruit Juice" cherry soda. heh. read more

I was super excited to see that Devilicious was going to be at my favorite brewery (Indian Joes). I did a quick scan of the menu, and some of the reviews on Yelp to see what people were raving about. I was surprised to see that the poached lobster grilled cheese was pretty much a "meh" feeling across the board, so I opted for the pork belly and brussel sprouts grilled sandwich. The smell was pretty amazing! The brussel sprout leaves were a bit smoky/crispy. the slice of pork belly was pretty thick and made the sandwich a little bit hard to eat. I would have liked it better if the pork belly were cut in half and more evenly distributed across the sandwich. The pork belly wasn't crispy enough on the outside for my tastes, but it was still tasty. The bread was grilled until it was super crunchy. I don't know about you, but I hate it when food cuts up the roof of my mouth. Overall, I'd give them another try, but I'd order a different sandwich, and ask them to go easy on the grilling. read more

Devilicious - not that amazing! - New American Near Me

Delicious, quality food truck food! Firstly, the service was very friendly, talkative and all wore great big smiles! I love that. We ordered the Asparagus Grilled Cheese, Burger of the Day (Pastrami Burger), Truffle Fries & Jalapeno Poppers with Bacon and Blue Cheese. I'll start with the pre-meal goodies. The truffle fries are ridiculous. Do ya hear me, Devilicious? You make RIDICULOUS truffle fries. They are amazing. Probably the best fries I've ever had. You can taste truffle goodness in every bite, it's salty just as a french fry should be, and topped with parmesan shavings. A must try. The Jalapeno Poppers are much less poppers and more holy-cow that's a huge ...jalapeno. These are most certainly tasty, fried in a batter much like a corn dogs coating, and just about the size of one too. Make sure you like blue cheese to enjoy these, because the taste is kind of overpowering. The spicy mayo dipping sauce it comes with is delicious, and be sure to stop eating the jalapeno about 2 inches before the stem, because the seeds are not removed and your mouth will be ablaze. Asparagus Grilled Cheese is very, very good. Asparagus is perfectly grilled and not overcooked, the goat cheese is not overpowering in this sandwich but very complimenting. I added a Caprese salad instead of a regular side and it was way worth the additional $2. Pastrami Burger was delicious. Beef on top of beef....can't go wrong! It was a messy mess, but seemed worth it, as hubby enjoyed it immensely. Prices are all very reasonable and portions are right. Sandwiches are about $7-$8 and sides around $4. read more

i figured.....AS SEEN ON THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE 2......this local truck must be pretty good.....I need to try it!! I tried the truffle parmesean fries when I first saw this truck at the Green Flash Brewing company and I figured these are pretty good so why not try this truck again. The second time Devilicious happened to be parked by my work and since my work building had yet to have a vendor for its cafeteria I didn't have any other food option. I decided to try the All crab crab cake sandwich and my coworker ordered the cheesesteak and we shared an ordered of truffle parmesean fries. The crab cake was delicious but since I didn't exactly eat the sandwich immediately the english muffin that the sandwich was sitting on absorbed all the oil from the crab cake or the sauce but was so soggy. Nonetheless, I was hungry so I devoured it. I didn't try the cheesesteak but there was a big portion of it. I loved that the sandwiches all came with the balsamic greens salad very simple but also delicious. Devilicious.....Food so good it's bad....The funny thing is that it literally is!!! I honestly felt guilty after eating all of that. My coworker and I said to ourselves....at least we can say we also ate this healthy balsamic greens salad for lunch!! Ha. read more

Overall, I thought the food was quite tasty - tastier than you might expect. However, it is very extremely greasy!! Holy cow! I saw the fried spaghetti sandwich which was a HUGE roll stuffed with spaghetti. My eating partner said it was good but not outstanding. Price $8 The Fried Yummies were fried balls of mac n cheese with bits of hot dog in them. These were oily, but then again, what can you expect from a fried ball of mac n cheese?! :) I have to say, I thought they would just taste like anything "fried" but they really did have a great cheesy flavor. Yum, even with the guilt.... very good. I got the "deconstructed corn beef with rye crouton, caramelized onion and garlic, oven roasted roma, fresh fries, gruyere and fried egg". Holy crap. This was really tasty. I think the roasted tomato was the best part - it was so delicious with a hint of sweetness. But again it was hard to eat this without feeling really guilty about the unhealthiness I was ingesting. Price: $7 On another trip I tried the Lobster Grilled cheese which has grilled onions and tomatoes and it was ridiculously tasty. Price $9 I wish there were a few more items that didn't seem as fried and unhealthy, but I am not knocking them for that. What I tried was actually prettty darn delicious!! It seemed to fit their theme - devilicious. (I know, I'm corny, but it's true!) read more

For some reason when I was reading up on Deviliscous I kept thinking it was a dessert truck. I kept reading the menu at work and I wasn't getting excited to scope it out either. Maybe I was really hungry or maybe I was craving crab cakes and didn't want to make them at home or that the other food truck rolled theirs in captain crunch(not enticing and I have an adventurous palate)? I was more interested in the corned beef and hash sandwich, but was steered to the all crab cake sandy with an over easy egg. The egg was perfectly runny and on an English muffin, so more like eggs Benedict but with a crab cake. Tasty, but more like a crab patty than a cake (traditional Baltimore style). And it came with salad(splash of balsamic), not what I was expecting. The smore wich was nutella, fluff with cinnamon sugar dusting. I loved the insides, but the salted butter on the bread which although good wasn't quite what I ahd hoped for in a grilled smore sandwich. Less airy bread, less grill, no salt, more fluff and maybe a bit of real Hershey and your golden. I know everyone is probably super excited to try the truffle fries, but honestly as good as their fries are and as amazing as truffles and the oil is I think they would be better mixed with eggs, a whole potato or pasta. I think the parmesean cheese everyone puts on fries with truffle oil counters a bit of the flavor, it's like eating kobe beef with steak sauce. read more

We ended up at the Devilicious food truck this past weekend at the La Mesa Food Truck Fridays. To my surprise there was no line! Score 1! I also happened to have a Living Social Deal. Score 2! We ordered the following... *Butter Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese (with caramelized onions, oven roasted Roma tomatoes with herbs on sourdough): I heard so many great things about this sandwich and quite frankly I was really underwhelmed. It was drowned in butter and mostly filled with tons of yellow cheese. *Cubano (ham, braised pork, Swiss, garlic, pickles and dijon on sourdough): This was a good little sandwich. The pork was nice and tender and the pickle gave the sandwich a nice crunch. Both sandwiches were served with a nice simple mixed green salad with a light balsamic dressing. *Sweet tots (homemade sweet potato tater tots with a hint of cinnamon & drizzle of maple syrup): These smelled and taste so good! I definitely recommend them! The people on the food truck were very friendly and the food was ready really quick. They also take credit card. Yeah these guys also happened to be on the Great Food Truck Race on Food Network. Overall they are okay. Although those sweet tots are fabulous. read more

Fortunately for me, Devilicious visits my work neighborhood once a week or once every other week. I had been dying to try their lobster grilled cheese and I've decided that I like lobster by itself the best. There were huge chunks of lobster and tons of cheese, but it's best (as are all grilled cheese) eaten as fast as possible before the cheese hardens. The sandwich was good just not what I had expected it to be. Last week, the truck came back around and I got the shrimp po' boy with again huge shrimps, the sandwich itself large. The greens they put on the side with the balsamic dressing is perfect on top of these rich sandwiches. I've had the truffle fries which are crispy, but can leave an office smelling for hours (your co-workers might be mad). Next time I want to try the B.B.B.L.T. (lots of bacon and an egg on a BLT) and their nutella and marshmallow cream sandwich. The service is always friendly and there's usually a line, but it goes fast. read more

We went to the SD County Fair and it just so happened to be the day the Food Trucks were making their appearance---Score!! We walked the lot trying to decide who to try and it was tough! I ended up having deals for several but since I always see Devilicious updates on FB about the truck and their shop in Mira Mesa, I decided to use my deal and try them first. I ordered the Cubano and Truffle fries and my friend rdered the Butter Poached Lobster Grilled Cheese...yeah, you read that right! Effing amazing (excuse my language but that mess is cussin' good)!! The Cubano was ham off the bone, braised pork, Swiss, Dijon and of course thin sliced pickle...absolutely delish!! Truffle fries were so perfectly crispy and tasty I couldn't stop eating them! I tasted the truffle(unlike the ones at Taste and Thirst) and the parm sprinkled on made everything better. The Lobster Grilled Cheese was outrageous! Nice chunks of lobster, not sure what kind of cheese but it was melty madness...I want one of those next time!! I'm glad this was my first experience eating off a gourmet truck! read more

If you're looking for comfort food.... and not looking for overly healthy... this is the food truck for you! I've had the Parmesan fries a few times always yummy! I've tried the pork belly grilled cheese- it was very tasty (yes it was greasy buttery goodness) but, I couldn't stop eating it! LOL Ok... so I needed some veggies .... so an ASPARAGUS grilled cheese Samwich should do the trick... right. Wowza am I glad I decided to try it! It was sooo yummy! The asparagus was just right... not too crisp and NOT soggy!!!! read more

Unbelievably good. Everything wonderful and sacred about street food between two pieces of crisp sourdough. An absolute must if you are in the area. #duckconfitgriledcheese #cubano read more

I had the lobster grilled cheese my first time going there, and while it was good, it left me wanting more lobster. But with that being said, on my second trip, I bought two things here - the Angus burger and the rib eye philly - and me and my pal split them in half and shared, and ohmygod. SO GOOD. I want my own of each. Now I have to figure out which one I'm going to get. The problem is that I'm going to be deprived of one of them. and the portions are huge, there's no way to eat them both in one sitting :) or I would try. So glad I tried other parts of the menu. And their breads are superb! I want to be rolled up in their sourdough with a bottle of wine on the beach. read more

These guys have no idea how long 8 minutes actually is. That's just the time they quote as if you're the only one in line, ordering only one sandwich. I thought I was the only one in line. I was quoted 8 minutes for my sandwich; it's going on 25 minutes, and I'm starting to grow faint. I blame both their inaccuracy in their time quote, and even more so, the family of four who ordered 85 bucks worth of food from a food truck. Thanks for putting the cooks back for days because you were too hipster to just go to Jack in the Box like your kids wanted you to. They dont want lobster grilled cheese for $12.95. Fuck all of you who bring your damn kids and babies to a brewery and then order from food trucks. You've made your choices in life, so live with them. 30 minutes. Where is my pork belly sandwich? I didn't even get French fries. Did you give it to that family of four, Devilicious? Did you sell your souls and my sandwich to get them done a little faster? My spouse just texted me, wondering why I abandoned him. Our party has forgotten about me. They probably think I walked home. I probably will have to, at this rate. My spouse has the car keys. My friends probably think im dissing them. I'm just trying to get a sandwich. 35 minutes. I am now the last person standing here. They had my sandwich, but didn't call my name. They offered me a free drink for my troubles. I was unable to respond due to low blood sugar. The sandwich was good. My spouse ate half of it without asking if I was sharing, but that's not the fault of Devilicious, except for perhaps making an enticing sandwich. 4 stars for food, 2 for urgency. 3 stars. read more

From the one experience I had with Devilicious, I'm a fan. I went to one of the food truck events that Boomers! was holding and the line I found myself in was Devilicious just because the line was fairly short than the others. Just because the line was short didn't mean it was bad food.. it just meant people had not discovered this truck yet. So many items.. which to choose... hmm BLT?.. fried egg?.. I'll take that one!.. omg great choice!.. amazing choice! It was a grilled cheese BLT with a fried egg! sounds amazing? it's because it is amazing! It was soo good. I typically don't eat grilled cheese, but theirs was the shiiiiit. The bread was buttered to perfection which the perfect crunch.. ahHh soo gooooood. I want one right now -___-.. wahHhh!... .... 4 1/2 stars.. not 5 because it's bad for you.. but yet so goood... -__-.. ughh.. read more

Omg crab cake sandwich was amazing! The fried egg made it even better! I got to try this place at their La Mesa Friday gathering. The prices are decent for what you get. What I got was about the size of a Sausage and Egg McMuffin from McDoanlds. $8 for the crab cake, and an extra $1 for the egg. You get a salad on the side. The dressing for the salad is really good. I loved that the crab cake was really crabby lol not half assed here! Truffle fries ($4) were good, but I think I was expecting too much from reading the reviews. The staff was really friendly, the wait wasn't too long, about 5 - 7 minutes, and of course the food was amazing! It is also a plus that they accept credit cards. I love when food trucks give people this option! read more

I'm not sure why they increased the price of the lobster grilled cheese when the lobster keeps getting smaller and smaller. They used to cook it perfectly and there was lots of juicy lobster in the sandwich.. now there are only a few small overcooked chunks. Quite upsetting. :( read more

After 186 food trucks in LA and Orange Counties, I finally had a chance to chase down a truck in San Diego yesterday. And because of their recent fame on the Great Food Truck Race, the first truck I looked up was Devilicous who did me the big favor of parking in a business park just off the 5 and 56 freeways. I ordered a very good sandwich, and a barely passable dessert I couldn't bring myself to pay $2.00 for a 12 ounce can of Diet Pepsi. I chose the lobster grilled cheese, and I liked it alot. For $9.00, they served up a sandwich,with onions, a little tomatoes, and a couple of big pieces of lobster. It was grilled lightly, but enough to melt the cheeses and thoroughly heat the lobster. It was a bit expensive at $9.00, but not out of line for lobster. I also got the Strawberry Cheesecake 'Wixch, which to be perfectly honest was a dessert I didn't understand. First of all it was served on grilled bread, the same type of bread the Lobster Grilled Cheese came on. There were just one or two strawberries, and they were sliced thin and grilled with cream cheese and brie. The cream cheese (which should have been a nice accent) was the dominant taste of the dish. The chef sprinkled some powdered sugar on the top, but not evenly, the left side of the sandwich had more than twice as much as the right. It was 4.00 of disappointment. Had I just ordered the savory grilled cheese, I probably would have given this truck 4 stars, but I got to knock it down for the dessert and the high price canned soda. Is $2.00 a can the going rate in San Diego? Gourmet Food Truck #187 on my never-ending quest to try every truck in "So Cal" read more
