Food truck that has boastful options. What we swallowed: *BARBACOA TACOS: Tasty. *CORN DOG: Typical corn dog. *CHICKEN SKEWER *WAFFLE FRIES The wait for our food was a bit long but a bit expected with food trucks. The food was tasty and we'd order from them again if we see them around. read more

My lovely lady and I went to a free concert at a local park for date night. Band was called Van Zeppelin (a Van Halen/Led Zeppelin mashup for those that are uncultured). Show was sweet, but this isn't about that, this is about the FOOOOOD. We got the jalapeño poppers for an app, I wouldn't say they're anything to write home about but they're not disappointing either, if you're craving them they'll satisfy the craving. Our main course was the chicken salad wrap, which I really enjoyed. I love when a wrap has ingredients thoroughly mixed and distributed so every bite is the full experience. The Cajun sweet potato fries were a hit, although not so much with me. To be fair, I've never been too much of a sweet potato fry fan. However, my girlfriend that DOES like sweet potato fries gave these her stamp of approval. All in all, definitely food truck food, but pretty quality food truck food. I would try these guys again. Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 3/5 - I would give this food a 2/5 from anywhere else, but something about a food truck adds a little risk here. read more

Elevation 5280: Street Food Elevated - Chicken Salad Wrap, Cajun Sweet Potato Fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Overall, my experience with elevation 5280 was fine. We came to free music in the park and they were serving food. I liked the variety of sides and extras they had, including the Cajun spiced sweet potato fries. We also got the jalepeno poppers and chicken salad wrap. The jalepeno poppers were nothing to rave home about, but nothing to complain about. If you are looking for something spicy, I don't think this is it. The chicken salad wrap was just that.... A salad with chicken inside the wrap. Really unique to see a hard boiled egg in it. It was not something you see every day, which I liked. Overall, the experience was not too bad. I wouldn't seek them out, but I also enjoyed my food and would go back again! read more

First time in Denver - getaway trip with my partner. He enjoys visiting local breweries so we headed to Fiction Brewing Company off Colfax. Apparently, the brewery host different food trucks on different days and Elevation 5280 was on the day we arrived. I asked the chef on board what he recommended from their menu and he stated the cubano or the patty melt - so I opted for the patty melt for us to split. No regrets! Probably one of the best patty melts I've had in a while. They add jalapeño which gave it a nice kick. Everything was made fresh to order, service was great and the food was seasoned just right! Definitely a recommendation!! read more

we had them out for a neighborhood block party. He definitely saved our butts when we couldn't find a food truck, even though we had been looking for over a month. Service was great and quick. Food was wonderful! Thank you so much!! read more

Don't listen to the other reviewer - over half of his reviews are 1 star. This is a great food truck. I had the brisket tacos ($10). 3 tacos to an order with a very generous amount of brisket, delicious salsa and sauce. I also split some pretzels ($6) and dipping sauces which were very good as well. Service was fast, especially for the amount of people ordering from them at the time. Very friendly folks too! read more

I ate here with a friend at a brewery, and this truck needs some SERIOUS work. From a service side, they brought no napkins, forks, or anything like that. For messy food this was a huge let down. I figured even with that, the food had to be tasty, right? Wrong. I ordered the gyro, and it was nothing like it should've been. The lettuce was rotten--straight up wilted, wet, and rubbery. Also, the pita was toasted to a crunch; it cracked open and leaked all the food onto the plate! (Having a fork might've made this excusable...) My friend had the cheesesteak and none of the meat stayed in the bun. Furthermore, the cheese looked like it came from a can. Absolutely awful. The menu descriptions sounded awesome, and I wish the dishes had lived up to them! I hope the management makes changes ASAP. read more

My experience at Elevation 5280 happened as all of my food truck ones do, at a brewery. We had ordered a beer each at Green Mountain Brewing, and realized we were hungry. There was a Domino's pizza attached, but we like to support local business, and hadn't eaten at a chain pizza store in years, so we thought we'd try the food truck parked out front instead. After ordering the brisket street tacos and fries (which together costed a painful $18 with tip) we sat down to eat. The supposedly 12ish hour brisket was extremely dry and had hardly any flavor, and the tortillas had a stickiness to them that was unpleasant and unappealing. As I was eating it all I tasted was sticky tortilla and got almost no flavor from the brisket. There were only three of them, and in the end left us hungry and feeling ripped off. Luckily we thought, we have fries too. Unfortunately, they were even worse than the tacos. If you imagine the worst place you've ever had fries, it was probably those big steak fries, the ones that Sysco distributes everywhere, and that's exactly what these were. They had hardly any salt, and were almost soggy. We each had two or three to attempt to satisfy our hunger and gave up, disappointed and feeling resigned. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish I would have chosen the Dominoes Pizza... I would have saved money, and had better food. read more

Stopped by the food truck in Sterling ranch on 7-5. Ordered smoked wings....HORRIBLE! They were so rubbery they weren't even edible. Lesson learned for over expensive wings. Seriously.....BWW has better and that's not saying much. read more

I found a screw in my food. I will never eat at another food truck again. This company has completely broken my trust. UPDATE: I have been sick all day since eating at this food truck. I cant even file a food safety complaint because they're nowhere to be found in city+county records. It could be the case that Elevation wasn't legally allowed to serve me food in the first place. read more

My first, only and last experience with this food truck. It was set up for 2 hours at a school event. Theyvran put of hotdogs and hamburgers 30 mins into the event. The only other option was a taco and chips, however when asked if there is salsa, dip for the chips the answer was no, just a plate of plain chips. Slow service not friendly people working and they even tried to charge me more that what the menu said. We could have sat down at a restaurant for the samenprice and had been served faster with more food. Also when we paid she said they didnt have enough ones for change and there was a tip jar filled with ones sitting right on the counter. I can say I would never have these people to any event! read more

Sad to have to give a bad review to a local business. I've now had 3 run ins with Elevation 5280 and 2 were really bad and 1 was mediocre. All 3 have been while we were at Grist (which we love). The very first time we were going to try Elevation 5280 they were out of everything we tried to order, but still had it listed on their chalkboard, finally after trying to order a few different things we were told that the only thing they were still offering was the gyro, so we walked away hungry. The second run in was mediocre. We did get food this time but it took a really long time (much longer then a normal food truck or even a restaurant). Once we got the food the fries were soggy and the food bland. The 3rd and final time was Mother's Day. We went for the Mother's Day brunch they were offering. They were almost 2 hours late getting the food out from the time it was scheduled for. Once they did get it out they were charging $12 per person including kids for scrambled eggs, pre-formed sausage patties, bacon, salad and store bought pastries, are you kidding me!?! Again we left hungry, no way we're we paying $12 for that crap!! We will not be giving them another chance. read more

Not sure about all the negative reviews, I had the Alamosa Asada Tacos and they were very good! They were "street tacos" of course they were small. But stuffed with good tasting meat, a black bean and corn salsa, fresh lettuces, sprinkled with queso freshco and a chipotle aioli with just a little heat. Just right amount for one, if you want to feed the table for $10 you better head to Del Taco. I'll try them again cause I'm sure they'll be at Grist again. I should have taken a picture but was hungry and forgot. read more

Drives through red lights. Obviously doesn't care about the safety of other people. Can't trust the food

My favorite food truck by far. I manage the food truck schedule for a brewery and this truck is consistent, delicious and always the best choices for food possible. The quality and price point are THE BEST. read more
