Everything was spot on and incredibly flavorful! Since their reopening earlier this month, they've made a few changes: they kept the regular menu made outside, but now added a Specials menu of entrees and sides located inside. I think these specials are meant to be taken home and re-heated. When we went inside to pay and saw the specials in the case, they all looked AMAZING! The chefs are so creative here and always impress me. Can't wait to come back soon!

No sir, umbrellas abounded, as folks meandered from truck to truck, sniffing the air for answers to what's cookin', tempting them to certain trucks. It rather smelled like the fair, in a GOOD way, food scents wafting by, mingling with each other as giddy people paid no attention to each other or even their cell phones in an effort to decide which truck to order from. BBQ? Vietnamese? Sweets? Mexican??!! Greek? Oh boy, what fragrant air filled the Eastern Hills Mall parking lot on Transit Road this day. What a concept! If only the trucks lined up like this, like a train, one after the other, once a month instead of annually. Boy, it was our lucky day! We just happened to stumble upon the line up. I knew I must try the Black Market Food Truck, for they served the most awesome food at the Yelp Elite International Institute event recently and I knew I'd find my way to them once again. Today I tried the corn and black bean hummus, and it was delectable with a bite, and beautifully presented, and from a TRUCK! Little slanted slices of crispy dipping bread was alongside the cupful of hummus. Mister ditched the umbrella and hoofed it quickly to Lloyd's and oh my, was that burrito nummy! He ordered the one with braised beef and it was so flavorful, just like home cooked beef, and I seldom eat beef. Rolled in a 12" tortilla, with rice, black beans, a jack/cheddar cheese blend, finely shredded cabbage, chimichurri, and salsa roja it was perfectly spicy and delicious, a plentiful portion of goodness. And for $6.50? Hands down the best burrito I've tasted. We splurged on a Mexican Coca-Cola, super yum taste from childhood, before "corn syrup" took over the real sugar ingredient around these parts. In this inclement weather, not one server had a scowl, all were cheerful and happily serving it up from high upon their truck-turned-order-window. Kudos to all who work the food trucks, may you prosper with such ingenuity and hard work. As in many of my posts, give these non-chain folks the business, they have way more at stake than a fast food joint. Reward them with your patronage! Follow them on their websites and spread the word; give your fellow residents, friends and neighbors the chance to thrive. And Eastern Hills Mall, hellooooo, you folks have done so much for the community since new management took over. How about bringing in the trucks on certain Saturdays, monthly, at least? Pretty please?!

So as not to overestimate, when calculating Maths, I usually think it's better to "Round Down", but…read morethis food truck festival believes otherwise. I'm sure they'd love me to "Round Up" to a 4, but I can't. Larkin Square has the same issues (massively overpriced with really low standards), but their selection is magnificent (40 to 50 per Tuesday), and they have the influx of Rochester trucks to improve the quality - the Buffalo ones are awful for the most part. I must have spent a good $50 just trying to sample 6 or 7 of these food trucks, which I think is preposterous. Almost everything I ate was average or just really, really bad. The Black Market Food Truck was one enjoyable exception. I wrote reviews of most of these trucks, and then was sent abuse by the owner of my least fave of the trucks I tried - Roaming Buffalo. Plus it was outside and we all got soaking wet as well as ripped off. Despite all the negativity I associate with this event, it's still a bunch of locals trying to get by, and it's still a food truck rodeo in a town that didn't have food trucks for a long time. So I'll give it a 3. But the standard needs to go way up and the prices need to go down, in order for me to ever give food trucks my repeated business in this city.

It's always pretty awesome when they have these food truck festivals in Buffalo. Buffalo is really beginning to be a cool place lately for this kind of event. The problem is the selection of food trucks in this particular city is awfully hipster and is about twice the price of the best trucks in New York City and is absolutely toilet standard. So I can't give them more than four stars but the concept and organization and breadth and scope of this thing is definitely Five Star level.

I'm a massive fan of all forms of hot dogs, whether it's standard fare like Ted's, or bizarre concoctions like Zunzi in Savannah, Georgia. Frank Gourmet just falls short for me. It did absolutely nothing for me. There was nothing gourmet about it and I didn't particularly enjoy it. I understand that it's making very interesting combinations and it's trying to offer dogs from all over the country. But the LA street dog (wrapped in bacon) tastes nothing like the LA dogs (not even one tenth as good, not even close), and the others have a similar story. I guess I am spoiled. You'd be better spending your money at one of the other downtown food carts, although if you fancy a hot dog there isn't really anything horribly wrong with these dogs either. It's better than Lloyd's Taco Truck. But then that's not saying much.

Plus there's many other flavors I still want to try so I'll be cyber stalking them for sure. The prices are a bit high, ranging from $6-8, but it's worth splurging on occasionally.

The chicken has good flavor and packs the punch of heat you'd expect from a Nashville hot chicken, and the slaw on top of it is the perfect addition to the sandwich. The sides here are all great. I really do love the fries, but the mac salad is also up there in the top choices. Service is quick here and they even have a drive up window which is cool considering it's not really fast food. All in all, this is one of my favorite chicken spots and I will definitely be back for more.

I was impressed by the staff they have canvassing the area to pick up trash and empty bottles and cans. They keep the environment tidy and enjoyable. There were plenty of food trucks with a lot of variety on this particular night, but it can vary from week to week. I have attended on occasions when the food lines were overly long also.

I don't really understand why. It's nice they give you a free drink for paying admission to help make up for it. For beer/liquor/wine drinkers it's worth it. For soda and water drinkers, it's not, because they're not worth $5 for 1 bottle/can. Ticket times were so short, which was super awesome. I wish the food trucks had smaller portions for a lower price, so that you could try more things without getting full so quickly. I also wish there was more food trucks there. I felt the options were very slim and the menus were very similar to each other and I wanted to try something new. Breezy Bowls: I tried the Breezy Bowl. 10/10. Asked for no blueberries. It was very good. Açaí is on the sweeter side, along with the honey in there. Center street BBQ: -Pulled pork burrito 7/10. I forgot what this was actually called. It's absolutely humongous. You could share this between 2-4 people. Could do without the rice inside. Good but it's a texture thing with the meat that's a little off. I ate about half of it. -Bbq sauces were good. The Batavia one i liked better than the original. -The Pig Plate 8/19. was really good. Mac and cheese needs to be more cheesy. Add BBQ sauce on the side for some more flavor. I'd get this again. -Bacon Mac and cheese 7/10. It's not terrible, needs a little more cheese sauce though Macarollin': -Peanut Butter Cheesecake 8/10. Kyles rating. He doesn't know why it's an 8. Also I can't remember the actual name but I think you can get the gist of it. It was very similar to my moms peanut butter pie, just not as creamy.. more firm like cheesecake, which is what he wanted. He would eat this again!
