    Chicken thai fried rice
    Kylie A.

    08/16/2021 Updating my previous review on this food truck** They have a call to order option & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CALL AHEAD TO ORDER!!!! They make their food FRESH TO ORDER & with that being said, the wait can be over 20min depending on how much you order & how busy they are. You could easily be standing in line without any recognition for about 10min. They are very nice but I just don't like how they make you wait so long without any recognition before taking your order. We ordered: garlic chicken, pork kabobs, pad thai & chicken fried rice. I still vouch for their food regardless of wait time, I've just learned to CALL AHEAD. All of their food we have tried is flavorful & savory, the only thing about the kabobs I did not like is that they were just a little dry. I'm updating to a 4 only because both times I have come, I have had to wait with no recognition for about 10min before being helped.

    Egg Rolls
    Brandyn G.

    I was in town visiting my parents and had a craving for some Thai food and much to my surprise, saw this food truck in Crestview. I ordered the Pad Thai - Chicken, Larb - Chicken, and Egg Rolls. Here are my thoughts on each: 1. Pad Thai - This dish had a unique flavor profile, mostly balanced between savory and sweet and slightly different than other variations of Pad Thai I've had in Thailand and the US. The chicken was cooked well and the dish came together in your mouth, although it wasn't the "Pad Thai" taste I was expecting. For the price point and what it was, it was good. But, if you're a Pad Thai enthusiast, maybe try something else off the menu. 2. Larb - This is probably my favorite Thai dish and I have to say that this tasted great. This reminds me of Larb cooked in the Isan region of Thailand and the flavors were spot on. I recommend this dish for a healthy substitute to a stir fry. 3. Egg Rolls - These were pretty okay. I don't have anything overly positive or negative to say about these, although the sauce tasted really fishy. I'm pretty sure there was fish sauce in it and it really overpowered the egg rolls. Overall, the establishment area is pretty nice for the surrounding area. If you're from out of town, they don't require a mask here (or in this area really from what I've seen). I will say that the lady who works the register wasn't really friendly. I stood there and she ignored me for at least a minute and never made eye contact the entire time. So, if she's reading this or her manager is, she really should take some customer service training classes. I was considering giving this review a lower rating because of it, but I'm not the only one who thinks this based off the reviews here. The food wasn't as memorable as her attitude and that says something. If you're in town, give this place a shot and hopefully you receive better service than me.

    Absolutely amazing...what a delicious surprise! My only regret is that I didn't find this place a week sooner while working remotely in Crestview! The garlic chicken combo was worthy of 10 stars. Paired with the Thai iced tea, it was the best meal I've had in weeks on the road. Large portions, great seating, affordable pricing, cute part of town. It's a must!

    Pad Thai with veggies
    Drea G.

    Updated just to say I'm back in town & had to stop by again - it's still amazing & WAY more food than anticipated. Super fresh, great value, don't overlook this gem! It's an amazing little spot. Visiting from out of town & just happened to drive by, so glad I did! The service was amazing, food is DELportion is huge, and everything is cooked super fresh quickly. They worked with my dietary request and more than accommodated me. Thanks so much! I'll be back before I leave town.

    I added the lettuce
    Jessica B.

    Very disappointed with the pad Thai. Too many noodles, not enough meat and no fresh cabbage or lime served with it. I also didn't get any peanuts. Will not order it again. I added the lettuce. And the picture doesn't lie. You can see yourself the noodles are dry, there's barely any meat, as a matter of fact the meat was very dry. Maybe it was just a bad day. But I won't be having them again anyways. Thank you for your responses.

    BBQ Chicken with Fried Rice
    John H.

    Absolutely amazing food! I've had this on numerous occasions and it's always just as good, if not better each time! Staff is friendly and you can't beat the pricing! Very good proportions as well. I love the BBQ Chicken with the Fried Rice. Highly Recommend as it is easily the best Thai food in town.

    Lumpia Spicy Thai Salad and Shrimp Pad Thai
    Jennifer R.

    First thing I did when I landed was to come to my favorite place to eat Lao-Thai Xpress!! They never disappoint and I have never had anything that wasn't worth eating. My sons' favorite is their Thai fried chicken, their garlic chicken is amazing and their Thai Tea and Pad Thai is out of this world!! Also you must must try their PhoFridays!!

    I found it. What you ask. I found the most wonderful Phó. Ive missed this wonderful dish since ive moves moved here. Thank you. Ive also tried your stuffed chicken. 4stars. They were tasty, reminded me of a meat egg roll The staff was extremely friendly. Things were busy but it was worth the wait.

    Beef pho
    Jasmine C.

    my husband and I were looking for somewhere to get pho because he's been under the weather, I found this place on yelp and drug him out of bed. MAN, we hit the jackpot. This place is definitely a go to if you enjoy fresh, quality food. The man working was extremely personable and from watching his interactions with a few of the customers, they definitely have some loyal clientele within the local community. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu!

    Mountain of food
    Katie S.

    Ordered Chicken pad Thai and for $7.99 the serving was HUGE!! Rating for value, 6 stars. Picked this up, drive 10+minutes home and food was still super hot! The small fork they give you wasn't working for me, too flimsy to handle a mountain of food such as this. The fresh garnish was a nice touch, but the chive or onion (whatever you want to call it) was slightly overwhelming. Had it been sliced smaller, I would have enjoyed it a little more. Also, the chicken was slightly over cooked. All this being said, it was my first time here. Notice I say first time, I will be coming back again because it is worth it. Good stuff.

    Best food court in crestview!!!
    Jeff S.

    The best place to get some Laos food and also thai food. I highly recommend eating here.

    Michael B.

    The garlic chicken combo is incredible. You will not be disappointed. It comes with two crispy egg rolls, rice and dipping sauce. It is cooked to order, hot and fresh! I will be back! This is my second visit and the food is always excellent! It was $9.01 without a drink but enough for two to share. Enjoy!!!

What a blessing that turned out to be We were hosting a pre-wedding social for a large group of family and friends at a Rosemary Beach vacation home . They were able to set up the food truck/trailer in front of the garage with easy access for guests to order from the menu and get served fresh hot food. It was a perfect set-up. The whole experience was amazing beyond description, but let's start with the food - absolutely delicious. The variety of flavorful empanada choices will satisfy everyone, from adults to kids, from meat-lovers to vegetarians. The beans and rice as a side fits the bill, as does the optional cheese fries. They also serve funnel fries for dessert, which taste just like the funnel cake at your favorite festival. Last for our party, they tested a new offering - apple pie fritters, which were a huge hit amongst everyone - to the point where they graciously kept the kitchen open to make enough for everyone. Thanks to Josh and Frank of Empanadas Kings, everyone was well fed and happy, and the guests universally praised the effort long after they packed up for home. All in all, we could not have been more happy with the experience, the service, the food, and the value. We will do it again.

Their meat is wonderfully seasoned and is well pronounced in the taco itself, despite the presence the other fresh ingredients that make a good Taco. To me the meat is the star of the show and everything else is just the band and at Love Taco's the meat knows it's the Eddie to the Van Halen. Now onto the employees. If you wish to support a Christian owned business this is one business worth supporting. The owner and his partner in Taco's have a passion of outreach and I have personally witnessed them pour their hearts into complete strangers and they are always happy to pray with anyone. This business leaves me with one final point to ponder. Is it Love Tacos because of their clear passion for the food they prepare at a VERY FAIR PRICE, or their love for their neighbors?

A bit greasy and the bottom was soggy. The portions for the price is not up to par. We lived in AZ for 3.5 years so we got spoiled eating really really good tacos. For some reason taco food trucks/restaurants in NW FL do not double the corn tortillas like they do on the west coast. So in turn that makes the bottom of the taco soggy & falls apart.

Micah, greeted me and gave me some great recommendations. I went with the teriyaki and garlic chicken plate that came with rice and macaroni salad. Wow! The chicken was very tender and had tone of flavor. They use chicken thighs which holds way more flavor than chicken breast and won't dry out. I'm still tasting it as I do this review. The rice has a sweet taste and the macaroni salad, was way better than what I've had in Hawaii!! It had so much flavor and was not dried out. Then I went back for their signature cookie. I hate I only bought one. I can't even talk about the cookie just go get one!!! This is definitely on my list to come back until I've had everything on the menu!!!!

We tried the kalua pork, steak, and chicken. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out as memorable.

Overall, it's a solid spot, especially if you have children, but the food itself was just good rather than something I'd go out of my way for.
