    2 item combo. Spicy Yakitori Chicken Bao and Spicy Yakitori Chicken Skewers.   Sides are rice and salad.
    Joshua B.

    This is by far the best food truck we've ever had. Seriously, they have so many offerings and each one is as good as the next. My wife and I first tried them at Tapped Apple in Salida a couple years back. We follow their schedule and seek them out whenever they are nearby. My personal favorite is the Spicy Yak variety of their skewers or Bao. My wife prefers the non-spicy options. Seriously, do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram or other social media. Your taste buds will be thankful as soon as you try them!

    Roasted Pork Belly Bao
    Rachel K.

    While visiting my friends, we were looking for something to do in their area. They remembered East Meats West being great the last time they had it and decided to introduce me to it while they were at Last Call Brewing. We ordered a bunch of items to share including pulled pork fries, tri-tip aioli fries, their 3-item East Meal Combo and a cookie bar. The fries were tasty and we thought the pulled pork fries were better as a cohesive dish than the tri-tip fries. The flavors were easier to get in every bite. However the tri-tip itself was really good, flavorful and tender. The Bao were so fluffy and the proteins were well seasoned and had great flavor. The Yakitori chicken also had a great flavor. The salad that came with it as a side was a shaved cabbage and tasted great with their dressing. Even with three of us eating all this we ended up having leftovers.

    My goodness. This place far exceeded my expectations, and honestly they were high. I had Yoshi's special Bao sandwiches and they were mouth-wateringly good. The rice was moist and the slaw/cabbage was crisp and fresh. I was lucky to catch them on a.slower night because it can get busy. Being able to grab a great brew at Last Call Brewery while enjoying my food made the night perfect. Oh and I was very full, definitely a good bang for my buck. I am definitely coming back with my family in tow. ごちそうさまでした!

    Chicken Boa
    Elton H.

    east meats WOW!! As a road warrior for my job I get the opportunity to try awesome food from coast to coast but never really thought I would be wow'ed by a food truck but East Meats West delivers !! Everything about this spot is awesome, from the family recipes to the fast and friendly service. You have to try the Boa !! *** warning *** this boa is hand made daily and is the best you might ever taste !! So you have been warned, EMW has set the bar so high that I have yet to find anything close. The pork belly boa is next level of flavor and each one is a piece of art. The chicken boa comes to the owners family recipe straight from Japan and is my second fav. You need to get there early as everything is hand made daily and so full of flavor they sell out every night ..

    I Love this food truck! The food brings me back to my childhood... but the Bao is soooo much better! The hot link corn dog is one of my favorites as well. Everything I've had on this truck is delicious

    Love this place this is my second time coming here and they were at Contentment so I headed over right after class and there was already a line before they opened. They had a lot of orders before me so it took about 15 minutes to get my food but the wait was worth it! East Meats West is a food truck and they update their schedule frequently on Instagram so be sure and check where they are throughout the week. I picked up the Spicy Ginger Chicken Bao and Roasted Pork Belly Bao combo with French fries. I made the mistake of not getting a Bev the spicy ginger chicken was way hotter than I had anticipated but I enjoyed it! I will most definitely be coming back!

    Went to this place during their soft opening on the far side of oakdale and have recently been back. The food is delicious. Their fresh made bao are to die for and everything I have gotten has been delicious. My favorite will always be their pork belly bao, you just can't beat the flavors.

    Pork belly Bao Bun

    First time coming here and we'll definitely be back! The service is so good, all the staff is super friendly and helpful. We came late so a few of their special items were sold out but definitely worth the visit. We ordered the pork belly bao bun combo and it was so delicious. Definitely a rare find

    I'd always seen this taco truck when I drove past on a regular occasion, but had never stopped…read morebefore until I went with my friend and her daughter. I got two of the yummy special shrimp tacos and they were HUGE!! I could barely finish one, which was a bummer because I just wanted to keep eating since they tasted so AMAZING!! They do not take credit card, much to my embarrassment since my friend had misinformed me that they did. The cashier was wonderful and let me squeak by with the cash that I had on hand. I was embarrassed that I didn't have the full amount, but she was very understanding and so nice about it. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS!!

    Hello, I wanted to express my disappointment with my recent order…read more I ordered tacos, a super quesadilla, and a burrito. I paid extra to have sour cream and cheese added to the tacos, and the super quesadilla was also supposed to include sour cream. None of the items had sour cream, and the tacos were missing the cheese that I was charged for. If customers are paying for additional items, they should receive them. While I understand that mistakes can happen, this is not the first disappointing experience I've had. On a previous visit, I placed my order before several other customers, but because they appeared to know the staff, their orders were made before mine. I chose not to say anything at the time, but combined with this latest experience, it's become difficult to overlook. I've been coming here for years, and it's disappointing to see the quality of both the service and attention to detail decline. Looking forward to a meal only to receive an incomplete order is frustrating, especially when you're charged for items that weren't included. In today's economy, every dollar matters, and customers shouldn't have to pay for products they never receive. I'm not looking for excuses--I simply expect to receive what I paid for and to be treated fairly as a customer. I hope you'll address these issues so future customers don't have the same experience.

    Driving through from the Bay Area on our way to our summer camping spot, we were starving but…read morenothing sounded good. There were plenty of fast-food options and a lot of Mexican restaurants that looked... let's just say they had us questioning our life choices. My partner and I are pretty picky when it comes to food, especially him since his mom makes some of the most authentic, mouthwatering Mexican dishes. That's a tough standard to beat! We came across this place and noticed it didn't have many reviews, but the ones it did have were excellent. We decided to roll the dice, and wow--we hit the jackpot. The food was incredible. The salsa was fresh and packed with flavor. My partner ordered the asada and al pastor tacos, and I had the tacos de papa dorados. Every bite was delicious. My partner said the flavors reminded him of the great memories of cooking in the kitchen with his mom, and that's probably the highest compliment a Mexican restaurant can receive. Safe to say we left with full stomachs, zero regrets, and a new place we'll be stopping at anytime we're passing through. If you're debating whether to give this place a try, stop reading reviews and go eat. Your taste buds will thank you.

    Everything we've ordered from here has been phenomenal! Hands down the best taco truck in town. Our…read morefavorites are the chicken quesadilla and the pastor tacos, make sure you get a side of chili oil too!
