The staff moves fast, smiles hard, and somehow remembers your order better than you do. Blink too slow and your order will pass you up. It's chaotic in the best "my family is loud but loving" way. This spot is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday. Imagine a place that says, "We're here to feed you, not impress you with mood lighting." It's bright, lively, and filled with the soundtrack of sizzling food, and orders constantly being called. The décor is simple, clean but the vibe is pure Gardena comfort, no pretension, just flavor and vibes. If you have those late night cravings for street food? Oh, it's dangerous. The kind of good where you take one bite and immediately start tearing into the rest with such joy and comfort. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who refuses to let you leave hungry. The flavors slap, the portions are generous, and the tortillas taste like they were handcrafted by angels who specialize in carbs. Oh, how could I not talk about the drinks and desserts, this is something you need to see for yourself, words cannot describe the things they have for that sweet tooth craving. Mmmm, pure heaven!

Their chicken is SOOOO crunchy, juicy and absolutely yummy! If you like heat I would recommend spicy for their sandwiches as the slaw and pickles help with the heat and makes it the perfect sandwich. For their tenders I would go mild and ask for sauce on the side as spicy is pretty painful even for someone that loves spicy.

What we ordered: I ordered the Flyin' Slider Trio with Chili Zing sauce. These were fantastic! The sauce was spicy but not overpowering. The cole slaw was tasty. The chicken was hanging off the sides of the bun. They give a very generous portion. I also got the corn poppers with lemon pepper seasoning. When the menu says corn "popperS," I thought I'd get more than one. The fact that they charged $4.00 for a half ear of corn is ridiculous. I was even madder because it was delicious! It was breaded and deep fried. The breading was great and ensured that the corn wasn't oily. If the serving was two, I would feel like I kind of got my money's worth, but not one. I'd never get that again. My husband got the 10-piece wings with half garlic parm and half lemon pepper. He said the wings were big and fried to perfection. He loved them. He also got fries. They were $4.00 for a pediatric serving size. Overall, the meal was very good. The main items were worth the price, but they really charge too much for the sides considering their size. I'd go back to support them, but please hold the sides...

So talked about good timing! I stayed in the car while Hubbers put in his orders. It wasn't long before he was back in the car. Tacos were delicious.

Their menu features different burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, loaded fries and jalapeño poppers. I'm always up for some good fries and couldn't pass up on trying Top Shelf Burgers' Top Shelf Fries for $15. These loaded fries consisted of seasoned fries topped with Top Shelf spread, American cheese, grilled onions pickles and two Wagyu burger patties. The Top Shelf Fries were the perfect item to try for my first visit to this food truck. The fries were perfectly crispy and the Wagyu was tender, rich and buttery. "Loaded" perfectly describes these fries. I loved how the Top Shelf sauce and American cheese were smothered all over the fries and the Wagyu. There was also a generous amount of grilled onions and a nice sprinkle of pickles. The balance of salt and creaminess was spot on. These fries were pure flavor from start to finish and I'm still drooling as I type this ;). I've been a fan of Top Shelf Tacos for years now and it looks like I'm now a fan of Top Shelf Burgers now too!
