    4 small tacos for $4.50. Way better than fast food.
    Kevin M.

    Amazing food I have to say. This food truck is amazing. Food is great and extremely cheap. The location is not ideal since no one could really see it. They also only take cash which is sometimes a down. But overall, I rather eat here than in a restaurant since it's cheaper and actually tastes better since you eat it right away.

    I must say this is by far the best taco truck I've been to with consistent food.. But the prices are weird or they over charge I just let it slide as a tip because the food is that damn good!!--grilled onions and fresh ingredients my type of party!!

    Felt like true Los Angeleno Mexican food. Authentic as all outdoors. You make my commute to Kent everyday worth it. Boo YA.

    Have driven by these food trucks any number of times but never stopped. the owner of the catering…read morecompany that runs the food truck catered a party for us and told us he had one of the trucks so of course we stopped by. Its a fun spot, tables to sit at and a varied selection of trucks. This truck has a wide variety of sandwiches including some vegetarian options that sounded good and even though I'm not a vegetarian I think I'd like to give a couple of them a try. My husband opted for pulled pork sandwich. It was messy and he said really good. I decided on an inside out grilled cheese. It had grilled onions, swiss cheese inside and then slices of cheddar on the outside and grilled so the outer cheese was crispy and the inside cheese super gooey. It was absolutely delicious and game with an au jus for dipping. They also have drinks, we got strawberry lemonade and some sides but the sandwiches are plenty, you don't need anything else.

This fine sandwich spot is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I ordered the T-Town Cheesesteak which came very cheesy, well seasoned and had tender meat. Pros: Soft Bun Filling Veggies are cooked perfectly Cheese steak taste on point Cons: Not enough steak A bit messy but that's understandable since it's a Cheesesteak. My suggestion would be for sandwiches like this they should be wrapped in parchment paper to seal in all the flavors, keep it warm and avoid less of a mess. Overall a good sandwich I'll be coming back for their other sandwiches

    How was this review over 6 years ago?! Def needs an updated review:…read more Stopped in here yesterday during my quick lunch break. Ordered the tofu sandwich and matcha with the soft foam. My order total ended up to be around $14. First off, the tofu sandwich!! I'm not sure how they used to make it 6 years ago, but now I'd say it is one of the best I've tried. The sandwich came out warm, they sauté the tofu in a sauce, which I'm guessing is oyster sauce and it gives it a lot more flavor. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. For the matcha, I was not expecting it to be anything special since it's a boba shop. After taking the first sip, I was shocked on how rich the matcha was and it was delicious!

Their banh mi always have a large helping of meat coupled with the freshest cucumbers, carrots, jalapeños and other garnishes. Xavia was one of their main employees back then, and has remained a steadfast employee for them. It is always reassuring to see her familiar face and catch up with her. Now, 6 years later I am still coming here to get crispy pork belly banh mi and have started getting the hazelnut milk tea with boba. I haven't drank bubble tea in a long time and wasn't sure what to order. Ngi recommended the hazelnut milk tea with boba and I was not disappointed! I recently became a painting contractor. I don't have an office yet. So Goatea owners Tan & Tran have been incredibly nice and have been letting me use their space to hold interviews and new hire one-on-ones. As a new business owner, I really appreciate them helping me out! I definitely recommend Goatea for their delicious food, tasty bubble teas, and welcoming staff!

    Where do I even start with this place?…read more My son and I were really hungry and craving something different, so I turned to Yelp to find a great sandwich spot. I almost went to a place in Kent but wasn't completely sold, so I searched again--and that's when I found Aunt Becky's. What a gem! We originally planned to get our lunches to go, but once we arrived, we decided to stay and eat inside. The women behind the counter were absolutely lovely--so patient and helpful as they answered all our questions. The menu is clearly displayed behind the counter, and there's a fun assortment of snacks and drinks up front. I ordered a toasted BLT, which was delicious (though I can't remember exactly what my son got). While my sandwich in and of itself might not look absolutely delicious - remember that looks can be deceiving and this sandwich was life-changing on the day we went! The vibe inside is laid-back and cozy. The decor is a little older, but it just adds to the homey feel. It's clearly a spot loved by families, local businesses, and workers from nearby construction sites--people were coming in and out the whole time for takeout. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend you check it out too. You won't be disappointed! See ya there!

    Service was excellent and quick to take your order and they make your sandwich in front of you…read more Parking is limited so you may have to park in the larger area. Plenty of people coming and going, to include seating. They have a full kitchen but display only mentioned sandwiches, not sure if the 2 TVs that were off had more of a menu. Ordered 2 sandwiches (Chicken & Pork), with the Chicken topping with no sauce and the pork with all toppings available. The chicken was bland and dry whereas the sauce helped with the pork flavor. One negative was that the meat was microwaved and not truly fresh but held in a cold container till sandwich is made (think of your typical sandwich shop setup). The bread was toasted but not long enough to cut the inside of your mouth.

In fact maybe she needs to not be in front of customers at all. My girlfriend and I stopped for lunch after a worker at Home Goods told us about this place. I ordered the tofu sandwich, she ordered the BBQ pork sandwich and then I got an order of chicken wings in the "Asian Zang" sauce. I saw that that the most popular items are denoted with a star (I CAN read) but I asked the gal at the counter which sauce SHE preferred. She proceeded to tell me in a b$tchy tone that the 2 most popular flavors are noted with a star. Yes I told her I could see that but is there a particular flavor that SHE likes or recommends? At that point, just lie or tell me that you don't eat chicken or anything other than just repeating yourself and telling me that the 2 most popular flavors are denoted with a star. If you are having a bad day, force yourself to smile and be pleasant or go hide out in the kitchen or the bathroom. Don't take it out on your customers. The food was a 3.5 but the customer service was a 0. The guy who came out and served the food to us was fine and he seemed to be having a better day than the girl working there. Onto the food: I had requested no pate on my sandwich. There was a lot of mayo in this Vietnamese sandwich, more than I have ever experienced. But that wasn't a bad thing as I like mayo. Some others would say it was too much. The bread was super fresh: crispy outside, soft inside. The wings were delicious. They came out hot and I appreciated that they gave us gloves. Will I try it again? Yes I would. For now I'm rating this place a 3 but will revise my rating when I try it again and if the customer service experience improves.
