Little details like that is what makes the food great. The flavor of both items blew me away. So yummy. So why only 3 stars? They took forever.

And while the food is amazing, it's not good enough to over look that long wait.

I'm a big fan of The Hungry Monk for its beer selection and wings, so I was curious to see what…read moretheir newly-commissioned food truck, The Traveling Monk, would offer. Wasn't sure where to find them since their website (travelingmonkaz.com) does not appear to be supported. However, their Facebook page is kept current and I was able to determine that they would be appearing on a Saturday evening at the Food Truck Caravan in Scottsdale located at 5th Avenue and Goldwater Boulevard. Fortuitously, I had bought tickets for a comedy show at Scottsdale's Stand-Up Live, which was a stone's throw away. I couldn't resist ordering the BBQ pork street tacos (beer barbeque pulled pork, jalapeno slaw, with bacon beer aioli) and they were phenomenal! They come three to an order so I was able to share with my comedy show compadre. He concurred that they were scrumptious. It stands to figure that porky goodness cooked with beer can be somewhat irresistable, and the folks at The Traveling Monk seem to know that all too well. I have since noticed that The Traveling Monk has been appearing at new breweries, which seem to be popping up in the East Valley as of late. I will keep my eyes peeled on their Facebook feed, since it seems like a perfect excuse to visit them at a couple of breweries on my list (Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company in Gilbert and Huss Brewing Company in Tempe, for example). I can only imagine how well their food goes down with a delicious craft beer, and I can only surmise that the folks responsible for The Hungry Monk (which maintains a very respectable craft beer selection) know exactly what they are doing.

Safe to say, I was exhausted and hungry so I pulled into the small shopping center and entered this small restaurant that specializes in Colombian hot dogs. I heard about the restaurant as it was listed as one of the top hot dog joints in the nation . . . high praise! You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. And while the menu is mostly hot dogs, they have a bunch of sides and some other options too. I went with a Colombian hot dog, sweet plantains with mozzarella on top, and a Colombian soft drink. While the restaurant is small, it's comfortable and they have free Wi-Fi. It's a casual spot perfect for a quick meal. And now to the important stuff: the dog. It was completely delicious. From the bun to the hot dog itself to the unique blend of sauces, melted cheese, and crisp potato sticks. The potato sticks gave it the crunch. The sauces gave it a delicious sweetness. And ht meat itself was quality. I can see why they were part of a list of the best hot dogs in the country. Well worth a visit!

I originally brought my lunch from home but when I heard they were visiting, my home lunch was quickly saved for another day. I originally intended to order their Bronx bomber sandwich but was sold out by the time I visited around 11:40am. Mind you, they opened at 11am. I was really bummed out but luckily had the back-up option of the Brooklyn burger. I ordered the Junior size and it is a quarter pound beef patty while the regular is half pound (two patties). The Junior is still plentiful and all meals comes with fries. This order left me incredibly satisfied and full. This was one of the best ~$10 I spent on lunch in awhile. I hope they do come back so I can try out their Bronx sandwich!

The woman who owns this food truck is rude af.

When I asked for an order of fries this is what the owner lady told me "I'm sorry, I can't give you an order of fries because I need them for my Parmesan fries" to which I replied "But you have a side of fries on the menu" she ignored me and took the next customers order. Needless to say, I didn't eat lunch that day. Don't waste your time standing in line to order something you're not sure you can get. Ask first. Even if you have to interrupt her speaking to someone else because she obviously doesn't care. Zero customer service. Never tried the food. Never will.

I almost went with the Classic, but saw someone with a BBQ Brisket potato and instantly changed my mind. When I took it back into the office and opened it up, at least 5 of my co workers came over to tell me how good it smelled. The brisket portion is generous and tender - and the cheese, sour cream, and green onions are the perfect classic compliment. It was swimming in melted butter, which might be a negative for some. But not for me! I was tempted to give 4 stars because a $10 potato is still pricey, no matter how delicious, but the girls on the truck were awesome and service was quick. I will definitely order again.

Warning: This is not for those who just made their New Year's Weight Loss Resolutions. This is for…read morepeople like me who don't care, like to live on the edge with their food choices and don't see the point in living as long as possible. (Motivational pep talks obviously aren't my strong point). Literally, my dream come true on wheels. My friends and family joke that in my last life I lived through the potato famine which is why I'm so obsessed with this starch and I really can't argue with that. If you're a fan of the baked potatoes from Jason's Deli (shoutout to the Plain Jane) you'll love these. The potato itself is pretty hefty - it's not like the usual sizes you get as a side dish and the pictures on here make it look pretty tiny as well. In person, these taters mean business, especially with all the toppings they add to make it as tall as your face. This is definitely something you hold tenderly and safely with both hands according to OSHA standards. I got the Original combined with the Cheese and Broccoli because the broccoli totally offsets everything else calorie-wise. The potato isn't dry or hard, but soft like you're cutting into a fresh warm pancake with your fork. When you look down at your place, your tater is bathing in a warm bed of melted butter. It's so perfect, so beautiful ... GET IN MAH BELLY. If you're not a cheese wiz fan, I recommend you don't get anything that has the melted cheese - just ask for the shredded. I've been known to eat an ungodly amount of potatoes in one sitting but I hit a brick wall 3/4 into this with all the toppings on it. I highly recommend the Brisket baked potato if you like a spices (not spicy) in your food. Great price point, totally recommend if you ever see them!

I instead gave other food trucks my business because they were wearing masks while I saw at least one if not multiple people not wearing masks while working this truck. They were by no means the only ones not wearing masks but I think that is kinda wild while we are still in a pandemic. Just food for thought for the owners. It might be a statement or just lack of care but it kept me from wanting to buy food from them so I don't know if it was worth it.

I could have gotten the ingredients and made all it in less time than it took to get it after ordering, for much cheaper, and it probably would've tasted better. Next time I will, lesson learned. It's a real shame cause the menu looks awesome, the quality and execution is just not there.

Decided…read moreto pull out my phone. and instead of using Yelp, I actually just punched cheesesteak into Waze, and what do you know?! I ended up finding the cheesesteak joint. This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. I ordered the original cheesesteak with the white cheese and whiz cheese combo (I tried to order my usual provolone, but they don't offer provolone as one of the cheese choices) and the fried mushrooms. I was the only person who pulled up around six P.M. and because this was on a Wednesday night, not a Friday night, hence the low traffic. But service was really good. The young lady who helped me out was prompt, explained everything and gave me a pager, which allowed me to go inside the brewery while I waited. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner of the tipsy cactus, he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping. So I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. It took about 15 minutes for them to complete my order and when I got it home and I dug in. I was really satisfied as the food was super good. Cheesesteak was on point with the prime rib being top quality, and the fried mushrooms were well done, juicy, with a really good homemade sauce that they packed in with my order. I almost forgot about the churro I ordered. And I forgot about it because I accidentally left it in the bag in the car and didn't eat it until the next day. It didn't matter. A short blast in the microwave and this thing was killa. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future.

I can understand why they charge so much, but just flavorless. I really liked the bread. My wife's catfish was super salty. Not crispy, just soggy. She didn't even finish it. We ended up giving the rest to some stray cats in the parking lot. Just disappointed with the food over all. In my opinion, I think most or some of the reviews here are probably friends of the owner. Just disappointed is all. They could do better. Friendly staff though.
