    The truck!
    Heather L.

    I was getting my hair done next door and when I came out I saw these guys parked outside Streetside Brewing. The menu looked so good, so I could not resist. The people running it were super kind! I ordered the Tamale platter with a poblano and cheese tamale. It came with street corn (which was in the form of a salad, not on the cobb) and zucchini salad. Surprisingly the zucchini was so good I ate all of it right off the bat. The flavor was amazing. The street corn was tasty. The tamale itself was quite large and the texture was fluffy! I am used to more dense tamales, but I enjoyed something different. The poblano and cheese did not seem to have a ton of flavor, but the sauces it came with sure did. I recommend trying the red and green sauce on the side, as they are super flavorful, but both fairly spicy. Several other menu items looked enticing so I will be searching them on streetfoodfinder for upcoming locations!

    Got the tamale and coworker got the tacos. Food portions were extremely small with high prices. So disappointed.

    [TLDR]A food truck offering some fairly unique and creative sandwiches and wonderful sweet potato…read morefries[/TLDR] The thing I just don't have figured out about local food trucks is the pricing. You see, a lot of folks who want to open a restaurant start with a food truck these days because (in part) the costs of entry and operation associated with brick and mortar are much higher. So logically, given lower entry and operating costs, the price of a meal at a food truck should be lower than for the equivalent item at a brick-n-mortar eatery. But this rarely if ever seems to be the case locally, and indeed, everything seems to be a dollar or two more expensive than I'd expect at a brick and mortar at this food truck given my visit to the Screaming Goat. I will say their menu is generally more ambitious than most food trucks I have encountered. Many local food trucks feature as few as 3-4 items with a very simple ingredient list. Many of the dozen or so menu items here have a dozen or so ingredients, and are generally unique combinations of flavors one is not likely to find elsewhere. The Mac Daddy ($8) is one of the least complex items - basically a grilled cheese with bacon and mac-n-cheese - and I have heard considerable good word-of-mouth on this one, but it came off as plain and bland to me. The bacon was there texturally, but somehow lent no flavor to the sandwich. I didn't pull off the bread to check for the presence or absence of cheese, but if some was there, I can assure you I didn't taste any. The mac was itself very bland, with almost no cheese flavor when sampled by itself, and unfortunately overcooked to mushiness. I think this would also have been a bit better if the bread had been grilled a tad longer, but as you can see from the picture it only reached a light blond color. I also wish they'd have cut the sandwich in half for easier handling. Now, before you ask me if I'd like some cheese with my whine (and the answer to that will always be an unqualified YES!), let me say that the "Crackhead" fries ($3) were by far the better of the two items I have tried there. I love sweet potato fries, and the marriage of honey and whatever slightly caliente spice mix they use was very, very good; with the only problem being that there wasn't much of it and what was there was not well distributed - strong flavors on one fry while another was almost entirely unseasoned. If all the fries were seasoned properly, I'd call this a 5 star item. One other minor issue - these were served in an open fry boat like I was going to sit down there, but there are no tables. Should have been packaged in a manner more suited to takeout. I was told that the menu was seasonal, so once summer winds down the menu may well be partly or even entirely different. Service was affable and quick. I forgot to ask if they take credit cards, but will do so on my next visit, where I will ask for extra seasoning on those fries :-) 4 stars for the fries, 2 stars for the mac daddy sandwich and other issues = 3 stars overall

    Great food! Unique, healthy, and flavorful. The Holla Masala Pancakes and Cha Cha Cha Chia Pudding…read morewas delish... and it was nice knowing I was eating healthy food, too. Brandon and his team are very nice too.. check out this new addition to the food truck scene in Cincy.

    Urban Vistro is a chef-driven food truck from Vitor Abreu. He runs Vitor's Bistro in West Harrison,…read moreIndiana, and also this food truck that I stumbled upon one day. The menu for the day was large, especially for a food truck, and featured tacos, quesadillas, burgers, grilled cheese, and sandwiches. I had the chicken tacos which featured braised chicken, roasted corn and tomato pico, and lime sour cream (2 tacos for $9). The tortillas were filled with plenty of chicken and toppings and the taste was great. We went back for hush puppies later in the day, and my daughter still talks about how good those were. I wouldn't hesitate to hit up this food truck in the future and will have to remember Vitor's Bistro if I'm ever out in West Harrison.

Just from a glance at the menu I knew I wanted to come back and try something. I think Urban Vistro is a fairly new addition to the Cincinnati food truck scene and it's a great one. It was a tough night for them with so many drunk people and lots of orders stacked up so it did take a while for my food to come out but it was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Unforgettable French Toast and the Cincinnati Pig Dog. Due to the long wait I also walked off with a quesadilla that was offered up by the truck's owner. Everything was delicious. I really hope to see this truck around town again!
