    Grilled steak and gravy fries
    Andy W.

    Awesome truck setup behind Play, went during the day but with all the lights I think an evening trip in the summer spring or fall would be amazing. The brothers working there were super nice and the food was great!

    Harvest bowl with mushrooms

    Harvest bowl was to die for. Added marinated mushrooms. Gluten free and was AMAZING!!! The gentleman at the food truck was so genuine, nice and kind. We will be back!! We live 1.5 hours away but will return!!!!! Check them out!!!!

    Omg this place is so amazing. Get the Steak sandwich and the plantains. The people running the food cart are so nice and the food came out super fast, great service! The patio area is really cute. Delicious food!

    Bistec Encebollado
    Simon F.

    This Peruvian food cart has to be one of the best in the Eugene and Springfield area. Their food is plated beautifully, and their flavors absolutely pop. Highly recommended this place if you're in the area. I got the Bistec Encebollado and the fried Brussel sprouts, they were to die for! The slow cooked meat in the Bistec falls apart in your mouth and the stew is flavorful and rich. The Brussel sprouts are both sweet and spicy, topped with goat cheese and a must have. Also don't forget to try their aji verde!!

Caleb was also quite friendly and helpful. The food was good. It wasn't amazing, but it was good. No one complained and everyone ate what they got. The rub... the meals averaged $27 per person before the tip. My meal consisted of a cup of white rice, a half cup of black beans, a small serving of black olives, a quarter cup of chopped tomatoes, a tablespoon of crushed peanuts and about 2 oz of a tasty cilantro sauce. Add to that 5 smallish shrimp (they advertised prawns, but these were shrimpy prawns) and I felt a little ill used. Again, everything tasted good. The prices just didn't make sense to me. The place has a clean and tidy tiki bar vibe and is pleasant enough to sit and talk without feeling a need to get outta there. They also have outdoor seating in a pleasant of not busy courtyard space shared with other businesses. Their beer and cocktail selection was decent and they booze prices were not too bad compared to similar local establishments... Will I go back? Maybe. But I hope the portions are better for the $ if and when I do.

    Excellent! As a Puerto Rican living in Eugene, it's awesome to see more Latin food popping up. This…read moreis essentially the equivalent of what is known as a "soda" in Costa Rica: a no-fuss establishment that serves comforting Costa Rican and Caribbean staples (the sweet gospel of rice, beans, and plantains). I ordered the chicken and salsa ($8.50) and the patacones ($5). The former came with the titular chicken breast stewed in a tomato based sauce, gallo pinto (the Costa Rican take on rice and beans), maduros (fried sweet plantains), and a fresh cabbage salad. For the uninitiated, patacones (or tostones, as they are called in the Caribbean) are twice-fried green plantains, which are starchy and savory. Think of them as the Latin variant of a french fry. Another great addition is the Salsa Lizano. This is a traditional sauce drizzled over many foods in Costa Rica that sort of resembles a sweeter, more herbaceous Worcestershire sauce. I'm glad I finally got to try it! The food itself was delicious! The chicken was incredibly tender, and the tomato based sauce was surprisingly deep and flavorful. This perfectly accompanied the gallo pinto, where both rice and beans were cooked perfectly with the familiar inclusions of peppers, onion, and spices. Both of these were made even better with a generous drizzle of the Lizano sauce. The salad was a nice counterpoint both texturally and also in terms of the more raw, vegetal flavors. It reminded me of the typical sort if slaw that you would get if you were eating pupusas. One thing that really stood out for me though were the plantains (both the sweet maduros and the starchy patacones). For whatever reason, I haven't had the best luck getting good versions of either of these plantain dishes in Oregon at restaurants that offer them. The plantains for maduros need to be RIPE. For patacones, they need to be super green, and when they're fried the second time, they need to be thick enough to not completely dry out (you're not supposed to be making plantain chips). The plantains at Whapping though, were PERFECT, and should serve as a reference as to how you;re supposed to make these dishes. The patacones were even served with refried black beans and cotija cheese, which I had never seen done before. Now though, I retroactively regret not having eaten the countless patacones of my past without this! I'm so glad that Whapping has opened up here in Eugene. As a Latin/Caribbean food aficionado, this place is very welcome, so be sure to check it out. ¡Pura Vida!

Facets of his food were OK, but as a whole, I was pretty disappointed. I wanted more assertive flavors!! The cabbage salad item was a bland, under seasoned (even if it's authentic), and a dry mess (it didn't help that the actual cabbage was tasteless to begin with. Just leave it off. The red beans and rice were solid. Fine. The chicken was boneless/skinless sadness drowned (boiled) in a generic tasting curry-ish sauce. Give me some flavor on the bone, please. Super gentrified and super pandering to a white-bread boring palate. I wanted more!

The pineapple slaw was tasty and on the sweet side. The grilled veggies were nicely done with fresh broccoli and cauliflower with some other frozen veg in a teriyaki sauce. 3.5 stars! Huli Huli chicken - the teriyaki chicken came recommended but was pretty meh since the flavor was not the best. Not sure if it was the quality of the meat or age but maybe it was an off day for them. The Mac salad was ok but not the best side. Stick with the grilled veg. 3 stars. Kids Huli chicken - not kiddo-approved by our kiddo, although he will take Mac salad and rice any way it comes. 3 stars. The service was excellent!

The only criticism I have for the place is to make sure you tell them no seaweed flakes on your poke bowl bcuz last time I was here the seaweed ruined my dish. You guys need fresh seaweed on poke bowls not that gross dried flake crap lol but other than that super awesome chill spot with amazing chicken and great Mac salad! Check it out!
