    Falafel Wrap
    Adam B.

    Getting nostalgic about all the street meat carts I used to eat from in NYC back in the day. Though I vaguely recall combos costing like $5 back then, whereas it's $17 for a similar portion in San Francisco today. But it's good eating and you're bound to have a little leftover to snack on for dinner. Combo Rice - Extra Meat: Fluffy yellow long grain rice that doesn't clump together is such a nice base. The chicken is pull apart tender and nicely spiced. The gyro is kinda like that generic loaf you get all over the place, but the fact that they give it in the form of ground meat, instead of slices, is a nice change. Then the sauce. Love that tangy white sauce with herbs. Was super psyched to see the fresh creamy green sauce too. And that spicy red sauce adds a nice tang. The veggies were just enough to add some freshness, but not overwhelming. They actually taste better than the limp lettuce I remember from the NYC carts, probably because California produce is great. Falafel Wrap: This is very hearty of vegetarian! Lots of falafels, all of which are thick. Nice grainy chickpea batter and some whole chicken peas in the mix for each deep fried nugget. Kinda basic pita with falafels, veggies and white sauce. Really like the green sauce and spicy red sauce offered on the side.

    Fast service. Great food! Tons of sauces you can add after you receive your food. BBQ, mild spicy, very spicy, yogurt sauce, greenish yogurt sauce. Provided napkins and utensils. Will be back!

    More evidence that the world is healing after the pandemic - the Halal Cart is back! I got my old favorite (lamb over rice, no salad, doused in white sauce, with a hint of red sauce) and it hit the spot! The only downside is the post-pandemic inflation prices- $15 for a plate!

    I believe This is the same Halal cart from WAY back when, pre pandemic. There were like 3 carts all spread out in the Fidi. When I used to work downtown, this would be my number ONE go to spot and it always hit the SPOT. Super better than the Halal Guys (no shade just saying!) back then they didn't even give out the to go sauce containers. First tried them out in 2015 and they probably were there before that! Right across from 455 Market Street where I worked. I always get the combo over rice and a chicken gyro with HELLA white sauce! I love their spicy sauce but beware it's hottttt!!! And they have a green sauce now which is a cilantro creamy sauce! I love it. So glad they're back. Love you guys!!! p.s. bring cash! But they do accept Apple Pay. And if you have a CC, small fee for $1.50.

    combo over rice $13.80

    $13.80 for the combo (chicken and lamb) over rice. bring cash, there's a credit/debit card fee! although i paid with a $20, and they gave me $5 back... so you can't escape a sneaky additional charge either way i guess. that was a bit off-putting for me in the moment. the chicken was tender, but lamb was dry in my opinion. don't forget to add your sauces!! i tried the mint sauce and extra spicy, which didn't seem spicy to me, but i also played it safe and didn't add a lot after hearing mixed reviews. i went after the lunch rush, so service was quick.

    Cash preferred

    SPARK Social SF is one of those places we end up at again and again, usually without overplanning…read moreit. It just works. Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic. What keeps us coming back is how consistent it feels in the best way. It is easy, flexible, and always a good time whether you stay for an hour or lose an entire afternoon there. It is the kind of spot that turns into a routine before you even realize it, and honestly, we are not mad about it.

Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

It's gotta be worth it. I waited in line for probably 20 minutes. While I was in line, I was watching the staff, prepare their most popular item which was the porchetta sandwich. I was getting hungrier watching them make each sandwich. Luckily once I ordered and paid, they immediately hand you one that's already made so you don't have to wait. I normally don't buy lunch when I'm in the office. I usually do meal preps, but now, I check their calendar to see if they're going to be at the Ferry Building so I can pick up a sandwich for lunch. That's how much I like them. And even pitching the idea of getting catering from them for our next work gathering. Since this is a food truck, there's not much to comment about regarding the location. The ferry building has chairs and tables where you can sit and eat, but this is more of a grab and go lunch.

Expect to wait in line for chicken and the porchetta sandwich during lunch hours. WHOLE ROLIROTI GOURMET ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ~ dark meat was good while the white meat was dry. They need some kind of dipping sauce or something for it. Seasoning was not evenly spread out so some parts were saltier on the skin. Lots of herbs like thyme and rosemary. Just too bad the meat didn't stay juicy. 3.5/5 ROTISSERIE PORCHETTA SANDWICH ~ skin was crispy and burnt, so it was bitter yet crunchy. Pork was tender, but I didn't taste much of the jam. I did not like the bitter burnt skin. I personally thought it threw the flavor off. If it wasn't bitter, it would have scored higher. I always enjoy bread toasted when having a sandwich. Sadly, they don't toast it. My friend loves this sandwich and told me the skin wasn't supposed to be crunchy and burnt! So I'm assuming this wasn't typical. 3/5 The 4 of us shared the whole chicken and split the porchetta sandwich. But hearing that the sandwich wasn't made correctly this time around, I'm compelled to give it another try in the future.

Check the Presidio's website for their schedule: https://presidio.gov/explore/park-attractions/presidio-pop-up-schedule 2.) Enjoy your meal on the picnic tables or lawn. 3.) Paid parking lots: Bring coins b/c there's a surcharge for credit cards. *Verdict: If the chicken wasn't burnt, it would have been a winner winner chicken dinner.

    TWICE AT GOLDEN GATE PARK…read more In the past 11 months I've been to two exhibitions at De Young Museum. After the exhibitions instead of eating at the cafe in the museum I would look at food trucks at Golden Gate Park. After those two exhibitions I've ordered food from this food truck. The first time I came to Cochinita was in September after the exhibition featuring photos taken by Paul McCartney during the rise of The Beatles. The item that stood out from the truck was the elote tots. They were Mexican-style corn kernels top over tater tots. I am a sucker for tater tots. With sour cream and sauce I was worried if the tater tots would be soggy. The tater tots were still crispy. The complimenting textures of corn and tater tots made this a satisfying dish. The second time I came to the food truck at Golden Gate Park was the last day of exhibition "Monet and Venice." I was hoping to see if the elote tater tots were available; they weren't. I scanned up and down the items available listed on the food truck. One item that intrigued me was the tradicional - a plate with two types of fried tortilla. The panucho is regular fried while the salbut is fried with a puffy appearance. I love fried food, but these two tortillas weren't oily. These two kinds of tortilla fried dishes provided different textures to the toppings. I never ate Yucatan food before ordering food at Cochinita. If you are tasting a new cuisine you never had before ordering from a restaurant versus a food truck is different. Whereas in a restaurant while sitting you ask for recommendation whereas at a food truck while you're standing you go with your gut feeling. From my two experiences at the Cochinita food truck I ordered items I never had before and I enjoyed both of them. If I go to the Chochinita food truck at Golden Gate Park again and see elote tots, panucho, and salbut what will I order next time? I'm going to order an item I never had before.

Service wasn't the friendliest, interaction-wise, but the good came out in a reasonable time, considering the line and it being made to order. There are a couple of standing tables, which we ate at with our dogs. Most folks took their food to go. So I didn't realize they were known for their Al Pastor, which I ended up getting. I got one Al Pastor and one Carnitas Taco. The meat is marinated and off a spit. It had a nice flavor, and I'd get both again. When you receive your tacos, they ask if you want toppings and salsa. It's nice in the sense that you can build it to your liking. All the salsas are good; my friend and I enjoyed the avocado one the best. Along with tacos, they have other food and drink items. I got the delicious Horchata. The only thing is prices weren't actively posted, so keep that in mind. I'm not too familiar with the Mexican food truck scene in the city. For the price and what we wanted, Leo's Tacos was a good option. Find them off the Great Highway with residential parking and a lot as well.
