Today was a family outing to the Upstate Food Truck Rodeo Rally. No horses or rodeo, but it was a…read morenice pleasantly cool day to hang out. There were several food trucks there . I decided to eat from Proc's Kitchen. The family was very nice and friendly. I ordered a grilled beef ( comes with 2 hotdogs with chili)hotdog plate. The plates come with your choice of two sides. The sides were fries, mac and cheese, fried okra, baked beans and Cole slaw. My two sides were fries and mac and cheese. Expect there to be a little wait time because the food is prepared when you place your order. Every thing came out hot and was fresh. The hot dogs were delicious, the fries seasoned just right and crispy, the mac and cheese was "black people" mac and cheese(as one of my nieces' calls it). It had plenty of sharp cheddar cheese in it, not just melted on top seasoned just right with black pepper and other seasonings. I went back for a second helping of that. Several of my family member ate food from Proc's they all enjoyed their food as well. They are located in Spartanburg, but travel to other places. For some delicious reasonable priced home cooked food that is served by a friendly and smiling family, check out Proc's Kitchen. You won't be disappointed.

A shame to hear they are not renewing their lease and will be closing. The owner told me they are opening a different style place downtown and may re-open a place like the current joint in the east side but it will be a while. Really unfortunate as the burgers here are top shelf. I had to try both a dog and a burger - both Carolina style. Their chili is amazing so it really set both the dog and burger off. I added grilled onions to the burger and they were cooked perfectly. The fries are fresh cut and flavorful but they are cut very small. One recommendation to the owner, go to a more substantial fry. I highly highly recommend this place. Get in here before they close!!

Most of the Mexican restaurants in the area serve food that is incredibly bland. Some of the staff here doesn't speak English fluently, but if you want the best tacos in town, you'll pull out Google Translate or something. It's more than worth it. I usually get some combination of carne asada and al pastor. At $3 a piece for tacos, it's not cheap, but it's roughly what they sell for anywhere these days. The house made salsas are all very good. Their avocado salsa is probably the best that I've ever tasted. I'd happily buy a full jar of that. This little food truck is usually parked in the Sheds Direct Lot, across from the Denny's. I haven't quite figured out their hours, but look for feather flags that advertise tacos on Reidville Road. Give this incredible food truck your business. They deserve it.
