    Dining area and Food Truck

    Authentic tacos with flavors that tasted like something I had only dreamed of. The atmosphere was welcoming, with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the food. Service was quick, and the staff was excellent. At just $2 a taco, the value is hard to beat! I'd rate it 4 out of 5 overall--personally preferred the chicken over the pork. A solid choice, especially for a food truck!

    This is absolutely horrible I've never in life had a quesadilla that looked like this and not cooked all the way

    My Quesadilla was not cooked all the way and horrible . The lady also grilled some of my onions on my tacos and not all of themes

    3 for $3.75

    Disappointing experience after hearing rave reviews. Tried 3 tacos. The chorizo was greasy and flavorless. The steak (asada) taco was dried out meat. The pork taco was decent but all 3 tortillas were soggy. Was given 2 juice-free (yes juiceless) lime slices for all 3 tacos. The green sauce was way too spicy to be edible, even by the drop. They had cilantro but I couldn't even taste it. They didn't have drinks, advised me to go into the liquor store next door. (Why would I want to 2-stop shop?) Woman spoke through thick plastic window was hard to communicate with and food passed out the top of the window. The picnic tables were clean,the prices were great (cash only) but flavor was not there, staffing was not friendly and I don't see a need to return. At least not for tacos. They won't miss my business they had plenty stopping in to eat.

    Simple menu

    Not to bad definitely better then I expected. I'll try them out again. Had the tamale and it was good also tried the carne asada tacos pretty good.

    My kid's school was having a fair complete with food truck "rally" (does it count as a rally if…read morethere are only 4 food trucks?). There were massive lines for the other 3 trucks, so we ended up at Jimmy's. I ordered two orders of the fried shrimp. My order was done in less than 10 minutes, which was pretty good for a food truck. The fried shrimp is 6 pieces, and it's $12. For $2 more, you get a generous side of fries. The shrimp was huge and sweet. The french fries were thick and well fried, although they were overly salty. You are offered tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. I asked for just ketchup and received nothing. This is a pretty efficient food truck, and I think the prices are reasonable. The shrimp was good, although the fries were salt bombs. The rest of the menu is very crab-heavy (most items are topped with crab), which might or might not appeal to you (it didn't for my family).

    Great crab cake burger!…read more I found this food truck when I had an event at Brew Hub. Since I was going to be there for three hours, I figured I needed to nourish myself with a bit of grub first. I'm glad this was the truck that was there because it was definitely satisfying! I got the crab cake burger and it was delicious. There was a good amount of crab in it and the bun was very sturdy. I added fries on for an additional dollar. The fries were solid, but I find my true test for fries it whether I would eat them without any dipping sauce. It didn't have enough seasoning or flavor so I ended up needing ketchup. They were crispy and nicely fried though. I was surprised that adding fries was only a dollar. That's a pretty awesome deal. The workers were super friendly. Since it was hot outside I placed my order and came back five minutes later to grab the food. I would definitely eat at this food truck again!

    I loveeeee this place. It's a MUST every time we visit Orlando! There are over 50 food trucks to…read morechoose from, so no matter what you're craving, they probably have it. I had been craving fresas con crema for the longest, and I ended up getting them almost every night that weekend. My favorite was the Fresas con Crema Raffaello. I will say, though, it can get pricey, so don't expect to spend just a few bucks. The fresas con crema alone were over $18 lol. The service really depends on which truck you visit, but for the most part everyone has been friendly. The atmosphere is super chill, there's plenty of seating, and they have trash bins throughout the area. It's mostly clean, although there are a few spots that smell like straight-up trash. They also have free parking behind Denny's and paid parking right next to the food trucks. Save yourself the $6-$10 and park behind Denny's, you can put that money toward a drink instead! I seriously love this place and will always make room for it in my itinerary whenever I'm in Orlando. The fact that they're open until 2 a.m. is just another bonus!

    I'm giving this place 4 stars overall for the vibe and for all the options however it is definitely…read morepricey for what you get. If you haven't come before, parking was $5. There's free parking across the street but it's a bit of a walk and we thought it was worth paying to save us from more walking in the heat. We do like supporting local shops/owners so for that, I think it's worth it. I also liked that it was clean, they had lots of tables with umbrellas and seating. Also there were a lot of enclosed trash cans which I appreciated so it didn't smell bad and there was always one close by to throw trash away. Drinks: 4 stars $10-15 lemonade, peach lemonade, watermelon lemonade Multiple trucks were selling lemonade which was great for how hot it was. I'm glad the cups were big because they are kind of pricey. Chicho's Fusion Cuisine: 4 stars $20, #2 Fried Egg Smash Burger My friend said it was good and he'd get it again Brazilian Grill: 4 stars $24 Picanha plate I didn't plan on getting Brazilian food when we went. But when we were walking around this guy gave samples and the steak tasted great. Even after looking at a few more aisles I couldn't stop thinking about the steak so went back and ordered it. Advice for surrounding trucks to give out samples! There were quite a few similar trucks but this was the only one of this cuisine that was busy. I think it could have used a salsa or some sort of sauce on the side and I wish the salad had tomato but aside from that it was still delicious and I'd order it again. Dubai chocolate strawberries: 5 stars $13, this was the best thing we got, worth the price and super yummy. If you don't like pistachio the chocolate and strawberries would also still be fire Brappin Crabs: 1 stars... We reallllllyyyyy wanted to like this place. We literally went looking through all the food trucks for this specific food item. First off, 2 eggrolls and fries were $30! It would be one thing if they were big but they weren't and they had no business being called chicken alfredo because it tasted NOTHING like chicken alfredo. It tasted like curry with Indian or Mediterranean seasoning on it. It wasn't bad but it wasn't what you would expect. Thinking about whether or not we want to give their boil a try or if we just need to move on.
