    We go to Humble Sea pretty often and this truck is there every weekend. I've had their loaded vegan…read moreguac chips, but hadn't tried the fish and chips yet. Had it on Saturday after a hike and wish I'd tried it sooner! Carpo's makes my favorite fish and chips in the area, and Scrumptious is a close second. They use a unique batter, and the fish inside is moist and delicious. I usually pass on fries (chips), but these were amazing. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The curry ketchup is so good, too. The line to order moves quickly and we didn't wait very long for our food - great service at the Humble Sea location. There's plenty of seating in the beer garden, though it can get a bit crowded in the afternoons.

    I was really looking forward to my favorite cod fish & chips on the British food truck. I went to…read more'scrumptious fish & Chips' in Scotts Valley last night & I've wanted it for weeks. I was never so disappointed, sold out cod & only had rock fish, was flavorless next to the cod, also tried a new Item fried shrimp, it was not a regular size shrimp, it was not fried where it was crispy, & the batter was too soft. Also there were 5 smaller shrimp with most of it batter on it & it was on a skewer stick which it never indicated on the kiosk we ordered from. They said they ran out of the cod yesterday or also today. I thought that was odd. British fish $ chips are part of what makes it taste so good. When I asked if they would have cod in the future & he said maybe, hope to have it again. I told him the was not a good thing to do, replacing the fish with rock fish. Also was only 2 bottles of malt vinegar so I could not take to my bench for couple mins and then bring back cause the food truck was too far from all the benches.Even fries were blah & too soft & looked like oil needed to be changed cause it made the fries kinda brown. I threw those out after a few z. No ketchup but when I asked about ketchup he gave me a small paper cup about inch & half or so with ketchup. Why didn't they post a sign saying u had to ask for the ketchup. The cooler where u now get your drink u ordered were in cans right n ice cooler on ground. Hard to get to wedged between kiosjk & truck on ground & your vending over to get the can & way too close to people at the ordering kiosk. I wanted a business card but It too was right in front of kiosk & could not get to. she walked over on other window side & reached & plucked a business card out for me. Things were just not filling well for access. I never thought I'd say this about this truck truck cause I always praised it cause it was the best. I will never again order the fish & chips without it being cod,, also if I see others with kinda brownish fried I won't get that either. I think the boss British guy & owner? Needs to be cooking in that truck. I was told his boss liked cooking so he was not there today. We were so disappointed in the fish quality of just rock cod, & I told the guy your going to loss a lot if customers. Sorry for being a Debbie downer tonight but too many things were cumbersome & most importantly the disappointment of not having cod fish. My wife said we just spent 50 bucks & we could have eaten at home, One more time I'll go & if they don't have the fish I will not be returning. It's a shame cause it's been rated as best fish & chips & if they continue not having cosmo I fear they won't last

    Had lunch here today with the family…read more.. Pros- food was tasty. There were plenty of seats, both shaded and in the sun. Very dog friendly...including ours, there were 4 dogs in total. It's also in a cool location, several other eateries and drink spots to check out. We had 2 super burritos that were customized (one no sour cream, one no beans, both with 2 meats. The crispy beef tacos (fam favorite), and a fish taco (too spicy for me!), oh and chips and salsa. Cons- the super burritos were supposed to come with guacamole, but neither did. Didn't think about it until my son asked, but we were pretty much done eating at that point. We also had to pay for chips and salsa. Never a fan of that. The bag of chips and the salsa containers were also small. If you're going to charge, you should make it worth it for the customer(s). With tip, it was just over $70 bucks in total. Overall we all enjoyed our meal. Next time I'll look for the guacamole earlier, to make sure we get it! The location is near my son's place, so we will likely be back!

    Just got a chance to try this new foodie truck tonight at our local brewery. An Asian Mexican…read morefusion truck with a small but tasty menu. I'll start out by saying that the food I tried was quite tasty but... I had the Banh-Torta, an attempt at a fusion of the Vietnamese Banh Mi and the Mexican Torta. You can get either of these on their own in San Jose for about 6 bucks but adding guacamole makes this Bahn Mi 9 bucks? The bread had a tough bite, not the crunchy crust and soft center of a killer French baguette or the yummy texture of a great Torta roll grilled on a flat top. More like a day old sourdough that wasn't sour, not a good fit in my opinion. Lots of good flavored fillings like pickled and fresh jalapenos, and Sriracha mayo. The real disappointment was that everything was cold. If the steak was first warmed on the grill (standard practice for any food truck) or the bread was toasted or something to add some warmth to the equation, maybe I would have been swayed to 4 stars. I know they are just starting out and this is the first Yelp review but I did mention I was going to add them to Yelp and Rachel the chef/owner handed my wife her cold sandwich while smoking a cigarette with the other hand. I'm not sure if this is some sort of health code violation or what but California's no smoking laws don't allow smoking within 25 feet of any door or window leading to a place that serves food. Smoking in the kitchen is a pretty bad display of disregard in my opinion. I won't be lining up next time this truck is in town but you should try them for yourself and hopefully my honest review gives them some direction for success.

    10/10 Dittos! Love getting lunch here after class…read more I'm not sure what their schedule/route is, but I always see them outside the Basking Engineering Lecture Hall around 11 am! This is the time my lecture usually ends and I love getting my lunch here. Unfortunately I only have a picture of their garlic fries (which was super yummy), but their burgers are delicious as well! The people running the foodtruck are really nice and the menu has a variety of items that you can choose from! Super convenient and yummy food truck, I definitely recommend trying (:

    Stopped by for lunch and wow, this was insanely mid. As someone that's been to Buster's in SF, I…read morewas expecting a decent portion of large semi-thick cuts of meat in a toasted sandwich. What I got was far from that. $16 got me a very lightly filled "Philly cheesesteak" that was filled what what appeared to be "steak umms." After browsing their Instagram page I was fully expecting the tender and large cuts of meat and portion advertised as I have attached but whatever I got was far from what was advertised. Coupled with undercooked vegetables and thin processed meat that was what appeared and tasted to be seasoned with taco seasoning, this was far from a "Philly cheesesteak." They advertise in their Instagram bio that they have "The best sandwiches and burgers in town" but what I experienced today leads me to feel strongly otherwise. To those that want a Philly cheesesteak, I'd advise you to go somewhere else, and for those seeking a similar experience, try the frozen Philly cheesesteak you can find at the Dollar Tree.

    A few weeks ago, we went hiking with some relatives in Santa Cruz to the top of the world De…read moreLaveaga Park Hole 27 of De Laveaga Golf Course. On the way back home we stopped by this little Taqueria restaurant. There's no parking spaces here, we parked over the bank since it's on Sunday, empty. The restaurant is clean, the salsa bar is right there with all the great stuff, the amazing thing is the chips all you can eat are there too. The chips and salsa here are the best anywhere, even better than Mexico or Cancun. So crispy, light, and the pico de gallo is excellent and fresh. I had the fish tacos, plentiful but a little surprised since the fish is not fried as all the places I've been, it's sauteed or steemed, no vegetables like shredded cabbage or anything, just lots of fish chunks and soft taco shell. Anyhow, it's fresh and delicious. Our other members ordered beef, pork tacos and they're so mouth watering too. There are so many young people like students coming to this place, so crowded and lucky we got the table to finish our foods quickly so others can sit. I tried the rice drink and it's like rice water and sugar, it's good but extremely sweet. This is the place I will visit after a long hiking day, it's wonderful and I love the chips and salsa here.

I was trying to help him out, as I'm in the hospitality business for high level profiles. He responded and told me he's an old guy, but very rude when I told him the two items and he just cut me off while I was talking . It was a chicken burrito with refried beans, no rice & carne asada fries. He also threw my receipt at me. I get it if you under pressure, but never take it out on a paying customer because you can't work well under pressure. He left a bad taste in my mouth with his bad attitude. I will not be coming back. Be kind to your customers especially i was trying to help you. Lol. The meat was overly cooked. The burrito still had rice in it. Fries were very oily. I still tipped him, even though he didn't deserve any of it. Bad service. Bad attitude.
