I also had theParmesan Black Garlic Fries and I love how fresh the Parmesan is and that Black Garlic Aioli is spectacular. It is a food truck in the back of the Redwood Curtain Brewery, so it has some fun upbeat energy. Since it is a food truck the only interaction is when you order your food, but it is made fresh and quickly. If you stop by I recommend the bulgogi!

The smash burger came with two crispy charred patties that paired really well with the mayo and veggies. The bulgogi bowl was a huge portion and came with pickled veggies and some salad for a nice balance. And the fries came with a bunch of shaved cheese on top and some minced garlic. The fries were fried perfectly, but I didn't like the fry on the Brussel sprouts. They tasted like they had been deep fried, and soaked up all the oil

Highly recommend the tarter sauce. The fries are double fried and really well seasoned. Crispy and delicious. The fish tacos were good, but I think the tortilla could have been toasted a bit to give it a bit of smokiness.

I had fast friendly service and the window and was handed a pager to wait for my order. I ordered a pork, bean and cheese pupusa and some fried plantains. I love fried plantains so I was really looking forward to it. It's a food truck, so I really thought it would be quick. That expectation was not met. I was sitting in my car talking and texting, waiting for my pager to buzz for about 20 minutes. Since I was on my lunch break, it was a little long. I grabbed my food and headed home. The smells in the car were tantalizing. I snuck a fried plantain on my way home and it was sugary goodness but a little over carmelized. I thoroughly enjoyed my pupusa but found the plantains to be a bit disappointing. They were definitely overcooked. All in all, I would stop again but not when under time constraints. I would like to try a couple of other things on their menu ad see how they do.

First time trying Backwood Burritos after walking by it multiple times and I will be back!…read moreGot the outlaw burrito and it was delicious! Eggs, chili, and the chipotle crema made it super creamy and the bacon provided a good texture difference. Chorizo was excellent providing a punch of spice and salt. Only thing is that it was a little hard to tell there was supposed to be tater tots in it, as they seemed to get lost in the rest of the ingredients. Tortilla was also very good, could tell it was high quality. Staff is super friendly (just 1 guy and his burrito cart) and price is good for the quality of the ingredients. ~$12 for the one I got which is the most expensive. Definitely a must try for Arcata!

The shell was perfect, it added such a great crunch, the salad itself was good, and we had a lot of leftovers to take home as well ! The restaurant itself is super cute with a nice ambiance !

Great flavor and am not disappointed for the most part, however, they're not always open during their hours of operation. They also serve their friends from the back while you're waiting to talk to someone. I've seen them partying in the food truck (which I'm totally cool with if there's no one waiting) while I wait to order. Also, the crane asada always has 1-3 pieces that are straight cartilage - I'm wondering if they need to change their meat supplier, or prep it more diligently. I hate writing these, but they need to change a few things Please do go and order from them though. It is good food. read more

The day I was there one lady was working both the store and the taco truck. It took a few minutes for her to come out. I ordered two tacos, a Carnitas, and a lengua. (Tongue). There was a small upcharge for the Lengua. For "street tacos", they were huge! Both the Carnitas and the lengua had very decent portions, and they were both tender and delicious. The tacos also came with a pico de gallo that was delicious, and was not very spicy. You can also get spicy hot sauce on it if you want instead of the pico. It was about eight bucks out the door.
