Island City is a food truck specializing in Puerto Rican food. My friend and I spotted it at the Cleveland Market. We immediately agreed that empanadillas for breakfast are the best choice.
FOOD: We both ordered pork empanadillas. They were good but the meat felt too soupy. I also ordered guava empanadilla. I liked the guava filling but felt that the dough felt too fried/oily. Portions were generous in terms of empanada size. I want to sing praises to Tropical Coco (Coconut Soda). It was the perfect hint of coconut and subtle sweetness. My friend and I decided to find and order this soda somewhere.
SERVICE: More pleasant than it should be at a food trucks. Great hospitality. We were even called by our first names. Service was also quite quick.
VALUE: The menu goes up to $16. Most items are priced at $12. $6 per piece is a bit pricey for empanadas compared to local restaurants but this was also event pricing.
I'd visit Island City again. Next time I'd like to taste Island Sandwich. Another coconut soda for me of course as well!!! read more
