Absolutely astounding food The Indian Greek fusion naan gyro was the best thing I've had in many moons. The naan dog was also amazing for my kiddo. Great views of the mountains and the runway! Service was quick and kind. Worth a wait in line to order Would wait twice as long happily. Holy heck, if it is the special you must try the chicken spanakopita samosas!!! read more

We have come here for years for the food. We stopped in Wednesday and were delighted by the food as per usual. The tall woman at the counter was a real turn off. Her attitude when we asked for recommendations to yelling at us to bus our table on the way out. She is definitely not building return customers. BTW the universal sign to bus your own table is to serve the food on a tray. Or to put an actual sign up. read more

Nice little Indian/Mexican fusion spot located inside the airport (there is no food court, just to level set). Dishes were light and flavorful. The hummus with naan was good with the naan having a nice crisp to it. read more

For something different in Truckee, Red Truck is a great option, but at this point, everyone knows it. We went on a Saturday at prime lunch time of Labor Day Weekend and it was packed, but the food came out quickly. While the sandwiches are solid, you really should be going for their Indian inspired eats. Their naan is delicious and buttery. I went with the bowl which was this dal and quinoa medley with protein of your choice. I went with the chicken tikka and while mild, it was delicious; make sure to add on those delicious hot sauces. Portions are filling and everything is reasonably priced. The kid's naan dog was huge! The chocolate chip cookie was so perfectly gooey. They have a bunch of tables outside, and quite a few tables inside the airport. If you are new to Red Truck, they have a playground easily accesible while you eat, a big field perfect for bootin' a ball around and watching the planes come and go. Overall, Red Truck is a Truckee gem... but everyone is onto it. read more

I absolutely love Red Truck! Everything I've gotten here has been delicious but I am particularly fond of the tacos. Recently I tried a cookie for the first time and was blown away at how well they do desserts, too. The outdoor seating area is such a great place to hang out and watch the planes go by, with a small play area for children. If you're bringing your dog just be mindful there are usually at least a few others roaming around. The servers are friendly and food comes out quick, but best of all it's one of the few affordable spots in Truckee. I just wish it was open a bit later, or that they would one day open a full restaurant service in town! read more

Even at 2 PM, this place is still pretty busy for lunch. As I've mentioned before, it is a café at the airport and you would expect it to be quite expensive. But it's actually well priced for the quality of food you get $13.25 for a gyro. The prices have gone up so I put a couple of new menus pictures. I called my order in and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes and it' still was not ready. After waiting about 10 more minutes, I went to the counter and told him that it was lunch and it has already been 35 minutes. The girl went back to check and it was sitting on the top rack, prepared, just no one ever brought it out front... they were busy, but not busy enough to wear. The counterperson was just standing around and talking to people. The food itself is fresh taste really good. Like most companies, the price has gone up and the amount of meat in the gyro has reduced. They did put extra cucumbers and salad on the euro to fill it up a bit, but it's always disappointing to get less than what you had previously, but still have to pay more money... One final thing. I thought that they had forgotten to put their delicious hummus on the sandwich. As I got down to the last 20% of the sandwich, there was a big spoonful of hummus. Normally it's spread out nicely, so if you try the euro, make sure all the sauce is not in one spot. Easy fix to spread it around with a spoon or something. For Truckee, this is still one of the best places to eat in town if you're on a budget. I will try this again, to see if the just put less meat on the sandwich. read more

Purely for the bad employee, am I writing this review. I'm really disappointed by my last visit to Red Truck Truckee, even though I've always liked their food. My husband is a veteran with PTSD, and he has a service dog who goes everywhere with him. When we ordered, the blonde, frizzy-haired woman at the register was rude and impatient (and this isn't the first time we've seen her act this way). If you're going to be the first person customers deal with, here are a few tips: try smiling, speak in a kind tone, and maybe treat every customer with the same respect instead of picking and choosing who gets your friendliness. Basic customer service 101, lady. She told us that since we had a dog, we should sit outside. We explained clearly that it was a service dog, (pretty clear, since he was wearing his very well labeled vest with the words: SERVICE DOG, and DO NOT PET) but she insisted again that we eat outside. In case you weren't aware, that is not how the law works. Service dogs are allowed inside, and veterans relying on them deserve respect. It was 83 degrees that day -- far too hot for us to sit outside comfortably -- so we sat inside anyway. But the whole interaction left a sour taste, especially because she kept staring at us afterward. Meanwhile, she had plenty of time to be overly flirty and chatty with the airport employees coming in for lunch. Yikes. The contrast in treatment was obvious and honestly uncomfortable to watch. On top of that, it's not a good look to be perched on coffee tables while customers are walking in, making them wait until you're done with your personal conversation. That's just unprofessional. I enjoy Red Truck's food, but this kind of experience was really disappointing. Staff should be trained on ADA rules (and general customer service) and how to respectfully interact with customers who rely on service animals. Attached is a photo of the wonderful lady in question. ‍ read more

Red Truck - Indian Near Me - Truckee, California

This is such a little gem in Truckee. I'm hesitant to leave this review because then more people will know about it, but I want to support the local businesses! Literally everything is good here for both breakfast and lunch. The cookies are to die for. Definitely don't skip on this one! Some of the best food in Truckee, hands down. read more

The food was amazing. TBH I was not excited about going to an Indian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant (officially "modern eclectic"). I love Indian and Middle Eastern food, but have never been a fan of fusion. But boy was I pleasantly surprised! I had the bowl with falafel, and by gosh, by golly, Red Truck has the best falafel balls I've had in the US. Super clean tasting (no oil flavor contamination), full of umami flavor, and a pretty green color inside from fresh cilantro and parsley. The only better falafels I've had were at Mi Va Mi in Paris, but they've since closed. The sauces were on point and the overall bowl experience was amazing with hot sauce! Also the service was awesome: friendly and helpful. It took a while to get our food, but they were slammed. I'd rather wait for great food than get fast, mediocre food! My wife got the samosas, which were delicious, and my son got the falafel burrito through an order mix-up, but they caught the error and brought his vegan tacos a bit later. Everything was delicious. What a gem! Red Truck is definitely worth a drive out of your way if you like good food and great falafels. We'll definitely be back next time we're at Heavenly or Northstar! read more

Amazing food and a great place to bring your kids for play on the turf and play structures!

chill place to sit inside or out and watch planes take off. Food fresh and order at counter. Service fast. Prices reasonable for Truckee. Bowls are the best! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Probably the best chalupas I've ever had! There were three in our group, the other two felt the same way.

The best airport food I've ever had - so good, in fact, that most people eating there aren't catching flights. It's some of the best food you'll find in Truckee. read more

Finally, some healthy food near NorthStar resort. Got the bowl with coconut lamb curry and it was delicious. Definitely recommend this place

Wow! Today we ate lunch at the Red Truck at the Truckee/Tahoe Airport. Located conveniently, of I 80, We had a delicious lunch. The menu is very eclectic, mixing Middle Eastern and Indian flavors. I had the naan sandwich...you have choices of meat or falafel. It was filled with a wonderful mixture of toppings. My husband indulged in the Naan Dog made from brisket also topped with a variety of sauces and greens. Both of our dishes were served with amazing house made naan. Red Truck also serves breakfast. It can get busy, but the self serve line moves fast and they bring your order to your table. read more

Finally made it all the way to Truckee Airport to try the infamous red truck cafe. If you know anything about me you know I love airplanes and food. And my Gyro was amazing, so this place is a win-win. I honestly wish I had brought an extra one home for leftovers. The service was fast and friendly. I stopped in between breakfast and the lunch rush so that may have helped with the quickness of my meal. I've heard it can get quite busy. Lots of shaded outdoor seating and you are so close to the tarmac it feels like you can reach out and touch the planes. read more

Red Truck - Fully stuffed Gyro - Indian Near Me - Truckee, California

Love this place. It's a casual spot offering tasty food. It's different than any other spots in town because of the delicious Indian fusion menu and also that it's at the Truckee airport. The naan wrap, cookies, and market veggie burrito are top favorites. A Parking lot assures you can always get a spot. It can be quite busy at times but the food comes quickly. Highlights: kids menu, parking lot, play structure for children, outdoor and indoor seating, out of the downtown fray, you can watch planes arrive and depart while you eat, and clean restrooms. read more

That breakfast burrito ... oh, man, the best I have ever had. Bursting with flavors, textures, healthy stuff. The crunch of the hashbrowns in the burrito could be heard two tables down. You might want to skip a meal before and after. read more

Consistently great food and friendly service! The daily special Samosa is always delicious.

I love their food! So many great vegan and vegetarian options. I will drive from Tahoe City just to get lunch. I wish they were closer.

Red Truck is a cafe serving sustainable meals at an affordable prices in the Truckee airport of all places. A friend suggested we try it. The food is diverse and high quality, making this a no brainer to eat at for lunch or breakfast! One of those local discoveries you cherish. Can't wait to come back. You can sit outside and watch the planes takeoff. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Bowl with Coconut Curry lamb ($10.50 + $1) Gluten Free. Served with gharki dal, quinoa, yogurt tahini sauce, fresh cabbage, fattoush and your choice of filling. Good sized bowl with fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. 9/10 Hummus + (GF) Curry Chips ($6.50) Served on house-made naan with sliced lamb, hummus, yogurt tahini sauce, hilbeh, romaine lettuce and fattoush are a lot better than the usual ones. 8.5/10 Gyro ($12) Served on house-made naan with sliced lamb, hummus, yogurt tahini sauce, hilbeh, romaine lettuce and fattoush was also top notch. Lots of meat. 8.5/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Very Good Value - Excellent Would we come back - Yes read more

Best locals lunch in Truckee and it's worth the effort to try and catch the daily specials.

Finally stopped in to try this spot after hearing about it for a long time. There was one other person in the airport. The service was great and it took a few minutes to get my naanwhich which was the best lunch I've had in a while as Tahoe isn't known for its variety. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu. read more

We had the coconut curry lamb naan and chicken tikka masala burrito for a late lunch. Food is great, generous portions, friendly service. Good indoor & outdoor seatings with excellent view of the airport & surrounding mountains! Will definitely return to try their dishes. read more

Off the beaten path--located at the Truckee airport--definitely a fav of locals. The Red Truck serves fresh, tasty food with a Mediterranean bent. Outdoor seating at picnic tables under shade sails after the few indoor tables fill. It was over a week ago on our road trip and I can't recall specifically what we ate other than a yummy salad, the lightest falafel with tahini, read more

Obsessed with Red Truck! By far my favorite spot in Truckee. I wish they had longer hours because I'm always in the mood to get some food from here. My favorite items are the Cesar salad, chicken tikka masala naanwich and the falafel bowls. Also you must get the chocolate chip cookie! Trust me you won't be disappointed! read more

Many locals eating here- a good sign! Delicious food, good portions and nice people. Recommend! read more

Good for a quick lunch or snack. The best thing it has going for it is a unique atmosphere with the planes coming and going. There's also outdoor seating and a playground for the summer time. read more

The tales of Red Truck are indeed true. If you seek it out, there will be great reward. This chef and concept had my attention from the get go. The eclectic global flavors, colorful presentations and approachable food came together in such a cool way, cutting through the general monotony of the food truck scene at the time. Problem was they'd only come visit every so often, and I was never able to catch them! Which is why I'm so excited they have a permanent restaurant at the Truckee Airport! I finally had a chance to enjoy their food on a recent visit and it lived up to the hype. I got the bowl which had a variety of vegetable preparations offering different textures and flavors to the dish, and I chose the braised lamb korma, which was rich and complex. Solid meal in any season. Oh and don't forget about the sauces like harissa and habanero. I can't wait to come back! read more

Yes, this place is delicious but what really made it for me was the cashier and other employees of the airport. I don't remember the cashiers name but I enjoyed chatting with her and tried the apricot cookie and it was AMAZING!! I got the street tacos as well which were the perfect size for me and such a great price. read more

I generally find myself eating here once a week or so. I mean I'm writing this review for last week and I just ate here again today.... I'm pretty simple and always get the gyro, a bag of chips and a drink. I'm somewhat of a gyro aficionado and eat there wherever I can. I do enjoy Red Trucks version of it, the Tzatziki sauce and instead use their tahini and hilbeh sauce. The meat is always cooked well and they make their own naan, which is great. My only issues is with the portion size and how random it can be. If I go around lunch time I get somewhat of a skimpy portion. If I can hold out and go around 2ish I get a gyro of epic proportions, so unless it's a lunch meeting you'll find me there around 2. It's also a much better time crowd-wise as this place is hopping during the lunch hour. read more
