I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie wrap (executed more like a quesadilla, but who cares) chock full of bell papers, onions, and squash. There was a zest to the melted cheese that I also enjoyed. The space was cool, also. Picnic tables in a yard in front of gym felt welcoming and quaint. Be sure to note that you enter on Florida avenue and not actually Agriculture Street. It's actually a food truck. Finally, the gentleman who took my order was nice and caring. When I asked about whether the truck would stay open during the upcoming storm, he said that " we will be here for the community." Can't wait to go back. read more

First time trying the oyster mushrooms and I want them again. My trip to the food truck was two fold, one to pick up a container of seamoss I ordered and two to score some delicious vegan food. I am not a vegan but often enjoy it and this was delicious. I ordered the Electric plate for $12 and my only disappointment was it should have come with butternut squash and that had been replaced with some type of greens. They were delicious just wish i had been told of the swap was looking forward to the squash, other than that the food was amazing and the service was great. One little trick, the address Leeds's you to a building on Agriculture street with a cheesecake food truck nextt to it, this food truck is behind the building and you have to drive around. This truck has the possibility to end up on my toP 20 of 2020 restaurants. Can't wait for another visit. read more

I ordered the hot sausage sub and it was so good! I'm upset I didn't order two! It had just the right amount of heat, and was very flavorful! I could be wrong, but I think it was made with quinoa? Whatever it was, it was well seasoned and prepared. Bolingo took the orders and chatted with customers as we waited. We didn't wait long before the food was ready. Quick, hot and delicious plant-based food is in the neighborhood! They also deliver on waitr, but only on Fridays. I will definitely be a regular here! He also sells groceries, so pick up some ingredients while you wait. The parking lot is pretty small, but you should be able to find street parking. Once you walk into the building, turn to your right, walk towards the large open space, and the window to order food is straight back. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the "better than Popeyes" sandwich with cauli wings. They were pretty good although the edges of my bun were burned. I liked the cauliflower better than the sandwich. I will say they took a really long time making my order. The cashier was nice and friendly. If you visit, it's kind of hard to find as it's a food truck in a back lot, make note that it's on the back side of the listed address. I'd probably return to try other items on the menu. read more

First time finally trying Original Thought I'm big on customer service and it was great good customer service always bring a customer back! I ordered a chili dog, vegan burger and Hibiscus juice The "vegan meat" of the chili dog was something I could get out of the store those Italian links.... The chili was good made out of quinoa the bread was soft and warm but the link didn't give it that chili dog taste it through it off The burger was aright it tasted like a beyond burger... the juice was pretty good tho, I wonder what some of your most favorite meals are because business be booming I'd like to try some of the other foods out.

The only reason I would not bring a friend visiting NOLA here is that there would be nothing to talk about: the food is that good. It deserves silence. I was going to watch a show while I munched on some plantains and wild rice (their self-proclaimed house special, the Electric Plate) but my first bite of soft, succulent plantain had me shutting my laptop. The oyster mushrooms were divine; if the batter was a little soggy by the time I got home, that may have been a result of how late I was getting there (see below). The stir-fry veggie wild rice had that umami flavor. By the time I scooped up their Swiss chard, I was lost to the meal. As a new-to-New Orleans vegan, I will definitely be hitting up this place regularly. I got a little lost on the way--note to future diners, there are two food trucks, and theirs is the one facing Florida--but a kind, patient voice on the other end of the line directed me there. Great service to boot! read more

Truly enjoy the food. The portion size could be a little bigger. I'm not a big eater, but I've been to this food truck 4-5 times and ate everything. The only downfall is that I'm still hungry afterwards. The hotdogs are delicious, but small so I recommend 2 or even 3 LOL. The jackfruit salad is really good. My favorite is the fried quinoa and fried cauliflower. Don't really care for the gumbo, but all and all still good. Just not the flavor notes I was expecting. read more

I just completed an herbal detox cleanse to hopefully heal some of my MS symptoms. I am knowledgeable about Vegan diets and hope to maintain one as best I am able but Vegan take out will definitely be my friend. After a search for LOCAL VEGAN TAKEOUT I found Bolingo's and called. To whoever the gentleman was who took my call yesterday afternoon YOUR VOICE and helpfulness made the decision I was driving from uptown to wherever Bolingo's was located! It was about a 25 min drive at 4:30 but worth every mile. Bolingo's is located in a sort of cool friendly community center. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of DELISH food overwhelmed me. There was a very talented boy taking drum lessons in another room and a line of interesting, very friendly people waited in line. The menu is so creative: vegan mock chicken salad on a roll, mock chili dog, gumbo, nachos ALL vegan, no meat or animal products! I was fortunate to be able to talk to the wife of Bolingo who couldn't be more welcoming or informative. She spent at least 10 minutes just talking to me about herbs and healing. Oh..do yourself a favor a get a large Hibiscus Tea. I drank 2 waiting for my food. The mock chicken salad was so delicious I am going back ASAP for another one!!!

I ended up with an ice cream flavor with dairy free condensed milk. The condensed milk was delicious! The syrup wasn't as sweet and flavorful as I like my snowballs to be. I would definitely go back to try a different flavor. He makes all of his syrups with natural ingredients and said he may try to figure out a nectar flavor. My biggest complaint and the reason for the less than stellar review was the garbage smell that permeated the area. I tried relocating to three different tables to escape it. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My best guess is a hidden dumpster somewhere. It was awful and hard for me to enjoy my food when there was a smell of garbage. Lots of space to sit, bathrooms and a bar area for drinks. There was also a live band playing music. It was a nice touch.
