    Ribs & Roasted Potatoes - Large
    Jacquie H.

    I recently saw their food truck at the Martinez Kaiser and decided to try the ribs($16) with large potatoes($5). I was really excited to try the ribs and my husband wanted the potatoes. We only got one meal to share before heading home. The texture on the ribs was good, but to us it was missing some kind of bark to give it just a bit more of a firmer texture and they also lacked flavor. We got the hot sauce to go with the ribs but that also didn't add much more flavor to the ribs just a small hint of spice. The potatoes were ok, nicely roasted, seasoned and tasted good with the hot sauce but a bit dry and not very tender. I didn't feel like the hot sauce was too spicy, reminded me more of a tomatillo salsa. To me it wasn't anything I would crave and need to get again. It tasted good for being at the right place right time but not something I would go searching to eat again or pick over other options.

    3.5 stars Better experience this time getting the chicken. It was moist, flavorful, and slightly crisp skin. Nice and hot, right off the rotisserie. Broccoli was kinda cold though.

    Very happy to see this truck at a local food trucks event. The chicken is tasty and moist! I ordered a whole bird and it was very good. I didn't realize they had ribs and pork loin too. I will plan to grab those next time I see them. It would be great if they had pairing sauces available to serve with the meats. I had some Peruvian sauces at home so it worked.

    tried roadside rotisserie at work recently at their food truck and it was such a fun experience since ive never seen a food truck with all the rotisserie chicken still rotating on the rack. though i was very tempted to try their chicken i decided very last minute that i wanted to get their ribs instead. in which i did like but i felt like their flavor/seasoning wasn't as strong but i felt like the spicy tomatillo sauce really added to it. as for my sides i tried the kale salad in which i also felt like i expected more flavors/seasoning but also didn't really taste the lemon garlic vinaigrette. definitely wish i got the roasted potatoes and chicken to try too! tips: - they are very generous with their portion - i really like their spicy tomatillo sauce - service was quick and friendly - food menu is perfect for all ages!

    Massive large portion for $4

    My toddler and I were out for the day, just the two of us. We started our morning seeing the Irish dancers at the Waterlight Plaza and then wandered over to the Walnut Creek Farmer's Market (Sunday mornings). At the Market, I spotted the Roadside Rotisserie which caught my eye. They were roastingleftover chicken on the side of the truck, and I spotted the roasted potatoes sitting under the rows of chickens, just like on the streets of Paris. Yum! I thought this would be a nice treat to share with my son as he loves potatoes too. It was $2 for a small or $4 for a large, so I figured I'd get the large size To my surprise, the large was gigantic! This has to be one of the best deals in the Bay. My son and I had a generous amount, but there was still so much left over, so I drove it home to put the fridge. on-siteWe shared it the next day with our lunch and it crisped up nicely in our air fryer. The only caveat is it wasn't as tasty as roasted potatoes in Peru or France that are done under the rotisserie chickens. Although they were seasoned with rosemary, these definitely needed more seasoning and salt. Thankfully, by chance, I had a little packet of salt in my purse with me which helped. The next day at home, I served them with dipping sauce and it was even better. Dollar for dollar though, I'd get them again. It's a fantastic side dish, but I would bring them home vs eating on site, so I could decorate them with more seasoning and dipping sauces. There also isn't anywhere to sit and enjoy them at the farmer's market in downtown Walnut Creek,

    Good eye appeal, look at all those rotating chicken

    Mobile Food Truck with a giant Foam Chicken on top. They have great eye-appeal and crowds thanks to the truck design, uniforms, and rows and rows of meat turning slowly dripping fat down onto vegetables underneath. Unfortunately the food was not that good. We tried the ribs and the rotisserie chicken. Both were overcooked to the point of being dry and hard. Grocery store and Costco rotisserie chicken is much better. Some bites of the ribs had a good porky taste but other ones were too dry. The broccoli and cauliflower were so hard we threw it away after trying very hard to eat it. It did smell good though from all the drippings.

    Great bang for your buck. ~$17 for half a bird and potatoes/Brussels sprouts that for me serves as lunch and dinner I've always thought of switching it up and trying their other meats... but their chicken is just too good to risk it

    Organic Baby Back Ribs

    We were driving and noticed this little Roadside Rotisserie truck, literally! So we decided to stop. It was parked inside an seniors facility center. We ordered the baby back ribs and the pork loin combo. Baby back ribs were a la carte, not very juicy, a little dry. The pork loin was very flavorful but a little dry as well. The potatoes looked very seasoned, but they were bland. Maybe if they had some kind of sauce it would be better. Would I come back? Yes. Maybe the time of day I came was bad. I recommend just for people to say they got a rotisserie chicken off the street! Staff was friendly and efficient.

    They have a food truck in the farmers market of inner sunset every Sunday. Their food smells delicious and I could not resist. Just wanted a snack and got their potatoes that have been cooking under dripping chicken fat! That may sound gross to some people, but it gives the potatoes so much natural flavor. The potatoes were also only a few dollars and way more than enough to split with my husband. Great price, delicious food, hard to beat. They also sell whole chickens and ribs you could take home for the whole family. Definitely recommend the potatoes!

    Spinning Meatz
    D.wight L.

    Ran into this well polished food truck at a local Street Eats. Their truck is an eye-grabber for any legit foodie. Behind a stainless steel background, lies rows and rows of spinning spits, rotisserie-ing glistening whole chickens and whole racks of baby back ribs. And underneath all those spinning meats are chunked up potatoes and veggies, getting rained on by all those glorious meat drippings. I'm a bit primal and old school when it comes to food, so this visual had me like a moth to a flame, a sea gull to a school play yard, a hipster to a kombucha bar...ya get it, yes? Nice compact menu where they don't try and offer too much, thus increasing their chances for mediocrity or disappointment. Easy to read menu as well, which you can't say for most other food trucks. So without hesitation I give them a whirl. Since I knew I was going to be trying other things at the event, I only tried 1 thing here just to get a feel. 1/4 Bird ($8/3.5*) You'll get a drumstick and thigh portion, as one piece. Chicken only too, so any side you'll have to get separately. But everything is so reasonably priced that it doesn't feel like you're being nickel n' dimed. Menu says 'Thyme, garlic and exotic spices'. First the good, the chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked with a really nice browning and flavorful somewhat crisp skin. It isn't crazy salty like most grocery chains where they will inject the chickens with a brine, so the salt in imbedded into the meat. This tasted really natural, you actually taste more chicken than you do seasoning. Cept that may be more bad than good, for our society's thirst for salt and seasoning is really on the high side, due to our regular consumption of processed/ready made foods. Now this lack of brining may also affect this product in another way as well. A good dose of brining is also an insurance that the meat will stay nice and juicy, as external liquid is now inside the meat, whether through osmosis or injection. The actual meat here is actually quite dry, even for dark meat. Nothing horrible but it'll make Costco's chicken look like a white water rapids in terms of juice. But this could also be a result from the chicken sitting too long in a holding area. Rotisserie'd food has a real tight window on it's optimal state, really should be consumed within an hour after a good 15-20 minute rest out from the heat source. The longer it sits from there, it will simply get drier. So great flavor but kinda wished it was more juicy. Small side of potatoes ($2/3*) Great on paper/concept. Cubed yukon golds sit underneath all them roasting chickens, to get slathered with all them meat drippings. Again great flavor, super strong chicken flavor and aroma, as it was really being bathed in chicken drippings. Not crazy seasoned which I actually liked, I could really taste the potato. But very al dente and some cubes were even a tad crunchy. I like my potatoes super hot and quite creamy. But I took home the generous serving (like easily 2 servings) and fried it again the next morning with more onions and bell peppers. Made for an awesome hash as the potatoes on that second cook, really softened them up. I would most definitely give them another whirl. I would totally try one of their wraps and I definitely wanted to try their homemade pate. Couldn't do it all on one out, so a second/third try is definitely in order. 3.5 stars but rounding down til I've tried more things.

    So driving in alameda my cousin made the quickest u turn probably in alameda history for this chicken truck I got half a chicken and the potatoes, we caught them right before closing so I'm sure early afternoon it's probably even better But the warm chicken and potatoes was extremely comforting on this chili day

The staff was cordial and friendly, and the chicken-themed decor, charming. Now it IS a chicken joint, the go-to chicken spot for my full carnivore friend. He loves them for their chicken, their inexpensive menu and their large portions. I'm mostly pescatarian, though I do sometimes cheat with bacon. (I always feel SO guilty afterwards too!) I ordered the honey mustard salad with bacon and no chicken. My friend ordered the chicken Mac n cheese and tater tots. The bill came up to $30, and the portions were good on on the salad, GREAT on the tater tots and decent on the chicken mac. I can't speak personally on the chicken but my friend says it's amazing. I tasted some of his Mac n cheese with no chicken, and it was really good and flavorful, nice and cheesy. I tasted his tater tots. They were plentiful, well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection, with a nice crunch. I ate all of my salad. My friend couldn't finish his chicken Mac or his tater tots and was happy to be able to take them to go for another meal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place.

About 10 minutes later the server brought what looked like our food to the only other table at the restaurant. The pair sitting there brought it back to the server as it wasn't what they ordered. Our server apologetically just handed us the food that another pair had inspected and returned (they said they didn't touch it). No napkins, fries, or ketchup for the fries. I went to the counter and asked for napkins and fries and politely asked about our fries. They apologized and said it would come right out. My sandwich bread turned out to be fairly burned, and it tasted burned. Towards the end of finishing our sandwiches (about 20 minutes after I ordered and 10 minutes after I asked about the fries), I asked if my fries could be to-go. The friendly server was again apologetic and said they would check on it. A minute later they came out with a box of fries and apologized they they had been forgotten about in the kitchen. They were no longer hot. I was disappointed with my most recent trip.

I was in the area looking to grab a bite before heading to Southie to catch the Hawks manhandle the Niners. As usual, the restaurant that I always look to forward to visiting is Hummus Republic. Once I found some parking around the corner, I was happily skipping down the block towards the entrance, until... The place was dark, and no one was inside. I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't one of the scheduled closed days. Sure enough, it was not. There was also no signage on the window or any mention of a vacation or emergency. It was just... closed. As I looked inside, I noticed some furniture and decor had already been removed, so I knew it was beyond the point of no return. In any event, it is indeed a dark time for me, as I frequented Hummus Republic quite often. Yes, I know it is a chain, but the nearest one that I know of now is all the way in Livermore near the outlets. Honestly, it's not completely a shock though, as this particular location was often empty, and I also heard that rent is quite high. There are also alternative Mediterranean shops in the vicinity, such as Tahina and Q's, but none of them combine the level of freshness, convenience and overall value as Hummus Republic. Although it's a lazy comparison used a zillion times before, just think of Hummus Republic as the Chipotle of Mediterranean fare. Depending on who you get serving you, portions can range from large to absolutely gargantuan. It's no exaggeration when I say that a single bowl serving is pretty much enough for both lunch and dinner. Coming from a pig like yours truly, that is saying a lot! Sadly, this exact address also seems to have a high turnover rate, as I have seen a myriad of various businesses sprout up there in recent years. Hopefully the next tenant will provide something to fill the inevitable void. RIP Hummus Republic! You will be sorely missed! The only thing that improved my mood after witnessing this sad news was watching the Hawks absolutely mollywhop the Niners. :‑D
