    Vampiros al pastor and carne asada
    Corinne K.

    Very good! Fast and friendly service, delicious food. Every time I drove past this truck it's busy, they also seem to be open late. Perfect for a quick and tasty lunch or dinner.

    This food truck is always so busy and it's for a good reason. Tacos are very good and fresh. There is always a line but the wait it is not too long. One of the best food trucks that you will find in Salt Lake or West Valley City.

    I came in for some tacos and the girl at the counter was so friendly because I had never been in before and I didn't know what to order she helped me out and I was so appreciative. The food was amazing. I had the street tacos with a side of refried beans and Spanish rice, the music was on in the background they had the ambience going. There were a few people but overall I will be back.

    Menu offerings, all reasonably priced

    Guys this taco truck is my jam. I feel like it's open all the time, I've visited at noon and past midnight and this taco truck is still open and busy. You order to the right side (street side) and choose which tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc you want and pay and they'll give you a ticket number. They also offer seasonal beverages, horchata and different types of fresh aguas are available daily during the summer, and I've ordered some Mexican hot chocolate during the winter months. They have a great salsa bar that has the typical onion/cilantro mix as well as limes, chiles, and four different salsas ranging from mild to spicy. I love mixing their avocado and green salsa on top of my tacos. I'm a particular fan of carne asada and cabeza tacos, and while they're not the absolute best tacos I've ever had, at $1 per taco it's a great deal and a pretty good meal.

    Have come here since I was a kid with my parents, my mom loves getting the tongue burrito. Their escabeche is on point too.

    This southern food truck is great. Be sure to follow them on Instagram to see what their hours and…read moreavailability are. You definitely need to come early if you want to get the oxtails because they sell out real quick. I got the fried catfish with Mac n cheese and dirty rice. The catfish was fried very well and the fish was very flaky and not fishy at all. The dirty rice and Mac n cheese were also good. They seem to have run out of things as time goes on so it's more of what they have left if you come later. The staff was very nice and the food can take some time to wait.

I ordered the fried catfish plate with collard greens and cornbread. The catfish was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while staying juicy and flaky inside -- seasoned beautifully without being greasy. The collard greens were tender and flavorful without being overly salty, really seasoned perfectly and the cornbread had a great texture -- moist and warm but not overly sweet. And then some bonus surprise hush puppies that were so so good! Crunchy on the outside, soft and savory inside -- it really rounded out the meal and left me smiling. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size (my plate was $21), and the service vibe was friendly and welcoming. Their menu's stacked with everything from Big South Wings to ribs and jambalaya, and I'm already thinking about what to try next. Follow them on Instagram @bigsouthslc to see where they're going to be next. If you're craving serious Southern comfort food, Big South is a must. One of the best food trucks I've hit in a while -- no question.

It's hot as hell cuz it's late August early September and those orange slices and Gatorade ain't cuttin it man I need some cold like ice cold. So I got a churro. I ain't ever seen one of these let alone had or tasted one but the homie said it was bomb so I said what the heck. I got one and it was bomb! I ain't gonna go into the specifics of what I was feeling cuz I copped two more, one for me and one for me later. But yeah that's what this place did to me. Transported me back in time. I love it! They got Nutella, strawberry, guava and some other flavors also with some ice cream if you're feeling dangerous. And I feel safe being dangerous here. If that makes sense Nice and warm also with the service too cuz if you'd like they can walk em up to your car window. Oh yeah and cuz it's a food truck but also like a drive thru slash car hop. It's dope. We've been going on Sunday's cuz we gotta keep it holy for the memory Peace!

The staff was incredibly friendly and service was very quick. The pricing was very reasonable. Certainly not overpriced like most gourmet churro places. The churro was very good, however not anything absolutely mind blowing. But overall I was very satisfied with my purchase.

    I am a proselytizer for Grumpy Dough. The Manila changed my brain chemistry and I tell anyone who…read morewill listen about it. Aggressively. The homemade longganisa (Philippine breakfast sausage) itself is incredible with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and perfect garlicky-ness. If they ever consider selling their longganisa in local Asian stores I will absolutely be first in line. And then they built everything around the longganisa, forming the most beautiful longsilog (longanisa breakfast) sandwich ever imagined with the soft brioche, atchara (pickled papaya), runny egg, cucumber, cheddar cheese with that really mild bite, and spicy mayo (which is very mild, I don't do spicy and it was great). I'm drooling just typing this out. If I lived closer I would be here weekly. It's worth the price (it's also huge/filling, on top of insanely delicious). It's worth the line. Yes, the line can be kind of long so either come early or just make sure you have the time available to you. It will be worth the wait. You can take the buzzer with you into Roots coffee and grab a drink, or pop next door into Ruby Snaps and try some cookies while you wait. The owners/family/employees are all very friendly and helpful with any questions. If I have more opportunities I'll eventually try every sandwich. My friend tried the Bulgogi and loved it. The bite I had was great; the Bulgogi was seasoned really well and it also went fantastic with the brioche. The ribeye meat was really tender. I'd asked for a side of extra atchara with my sandwich not realizing how much was already on it. I suggested to my friend to add it to her Bulgogi because the sweet tanginess from the rice vinegar would complement it well, and she loved the combination -- that is also my suggestion to all of you.

I had the Manila and LOVED the pickled papaya & cucumber paired with the Filipino longganisa, and let's not forget about the fluffy, buttery brioche bun! I just can't get enough! My husband had the bulgogi and was equally impressed. Being a food truck they have a cool set up, a couple seats outdoors and a sweet partnership with the coffee shop next door who offers their patrons a place to sit and eat inside. Can't wait to visit again!
