Sam is a beautiful soul his wife is so sweet there food is great I give them 5 stars

I have to admit, one of the BEST food trucks around LA grantee!!! The quality of the food is unbelievable, the way the food is prepared with the seasoning and spices, its just perfect! The portions of the plates always leaves a huge smile on my face and the prices are so affordable you just cant beat it, seriously. Sam's Gourmet food trucks has been severing the LA area for years and I can actually see why, QUALITY FOOD which makes a difference compared to other trucks area! Thank you, your food is outstanding! read more

A local favorite for USC employees! Sam always cooks up solid food with generations portions and additions to your liking. He always serves up solid food for unbelievable prices and flavor is always there. He remembers people and what they like and will always tweak orders for people that appeal to their tastebuds. Good truck with solid food and great customer service! read more

Got three carne asada tacos the other day since I forgot to bring lunch. It had chips and guacamole which is great since they were only $1 each. Sam is very friendly and seemed to recognize a lot of the customers The crazy fries looked good as did the salads. I think I'll be back the next time I forget my lunch :] read more

One of the cleanest lunch truck that I ever seen. Food is great, price is good and stuff is very friendly. Highly recommend to try food from them.... read more

After coming here every week for almost 3 years, I recently got food poisoning from their shrimp tacos. And not a little stomach ache, but repeated vomiting for hours. Their food quality has gone way downhill as they have gotten busier and their prices have gone uo. However, I partially blame myself for eating pre-fried shrimp that's sitting in a glass window for who knows how long. Ugh. I used to be so excited about this truck. Oh well. read more

The food from Sam's truck reminds me a lot of the fast food I ate growing up... which is one of the many reasons why I like this food truck. The double cheeseburger is pretty good and will probably be my go-to now on from Sam's. The crinkle cut fries are amazing and come with what I assume to be Cajun-style seasoning. You can smell them from afar! The gyro is also good too, but I personally don't think it's as filling as the double cheeseburger. Sure, the food is not exactly "gourmet" as it implies in the name, because it does appear and taste like the ingredients were purchased in bulk from your neighborhood supermarket... but that means super affordable and filling lunch! The prices are fair and affordable. The price you see is the price you pay, tax included! And the wait isn't as long as other food trucks. In fact, you could probably order several times from Sam's and receive your food before the other nearby food trucks will finish cooking your order. I definitely see myself as a regular customer here. Pro-tip: Pick up a can of Arizona Ice Tea with your order. It goes well with lunch and it's only $1! They also accept all major credit cards! read more

BEST FOOD EVER This food truck is not only affordable, the food quality and taste is incredible. I crave the french fries, veggie burger, and tacos every single day. I will never get sick of this place and I highly recommend it to everyone! read more

I was walking back from the doctors and was debating whether I should go back to my office for lunch or try to figure out something near the USC University Hospital. I spotted two taco trucks on San Pablo and chose the one on the side of the street I was on. Sam's Catering wasn't just the usual taco truck. They had kebabs! And something called "crazy fries." Sam, the extremely cheerful and friendly guy took my order. I got the three tacos special which came with chips and guacamole. Sam said he could do combo tacos so I got the al pastor, carnitas and carne asada. He was so cute when he threw in extra hot sauce, carrots, cucumber and radishes for me. He said people loved the carrots. They were pretty interesting, mushy but still retaining some texture and fairly spicy. The cucumber and radishes were very fresh. And he included two plump wedges of lime. Perfect! I really liked my tacos though they were very unusual to me. All three were kind of cooked down in some sort of sauce rather than quickly grilled. All three were good and I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Either the carne asada or the carnitas. I thought the meats were very flavorful. They also used corn tortillas which is my preferred tortilla. They're smaller than flour and there may have been slightly less meat than other taco trucks but Sam was just so darn friendly, I bought a bottle of water though I had a ton in the car. $4 lunch! Oh yes, the truck has two chairs outside though I think most people who eat from the trucks are the staff from the surrounding medical buildings so they probably pick it up to go. The truck across the way seemed to have more people lined up but given a choice, I'd go back to Sam's. Where else could I go for both Middle Eastern and Mexican food? read more

I had to write a review because none of the other reviews mention this truck's vegetarian options! I avoided coming here for the longest time because I wrongly assumed it was your typical burger truck. Boy, was I wrong! They have burgers, Mexican food, Mediterranean food, and a couple veggie options! Their veggie burger with fries might not be my healthiest lunch of the week, but it tastes amazing, fills me up, and is reasonably-priced ($6 at the time of this writing). I order it with grilled onions and avocado, and pour some of their hot sauce on there. The fries are perfect with their sprinkling of magic seasoning. If I'm not very hungry, the vegetarian burrito is good also (it comes with chips, but is not as filling as the burger). The service at this truck is always fast and friendly, and they have never messed up my order. Sam's truck is my guilty pleasure and the best option at USC Health Sciences Campus (which means it's doctor-approved ;) ). read more

Excellent food.. my favorite is the Chicken Salad with Rasberry vinaigrette.. EXCELLENT customer service!!!! Your taste buds will be happy!!

Guys. This taco truck is awesome for days you couldn't pack lunch or don't want to. I get their $1 tacos (steak or chicken) and if you buy 2 or more, they throw some chips over it too. I find 2 enough for a meal but if you have a bigger appetite, 3 to 4 should be good because they aren't that big. The steak is my fave.. good flavoring and delicious. I can't believe they are a dollar... their crazy fries and nachos are good too. But i didn't enjoy their veggie burrito. It was literally lettuce,beans, and rice. I expected sauteed veggies and got that instead. But some people love it so to each their own. read more

Yoooooo nothing in life beats $1 tacos. Al pastor - delicious. I've also had the gyro - Delicious. Quesadilla - solid. This place is wonderfully affordable for us poor college students, and really doesn't compromise on the flavor or portion sizes of the food! read more

The lady is a very good cook. This truck stops at my school at lunch time everyday. I've had the crispy potato tacos, gyro, burgers and fries, tacos and tortas. Everything is really good. The salsa verde is delish and Sam doesn't charge fees for using my debit card . Plenty of drinks and snacks for sale too. read more

This is the third time my co-worker and I have tried to get food at this truck and was blown off completely by Sam as he helped all his friends behind us in line instead. If you're a new customer, just avoid this truck unless you have an hour to blow for generic food while Sam helps only his favorites and ignores you (and your group). This vaguely reminds me of the soup nazi from Sienfeld, maybe we should call Sam the food truck nazi. I'm personally done with this truck, food should never be this frustrating. read more

Well cheeseburger and fries are ok but my co-workers got something else and taste was not good and the look of that food was let´s say suprising. read more

Bitter/Sweet experience. Ordered today for the first time. Asked for a spicy chicken burger with cheese and no tomato. I ended up getting a spicy chicken burger with no cheese and with tomato. I was charged for the cheese. My colleague ordered unseasoned fries and was being given seasoned fries. Luckily, she caught that error on time and notified them. The burger was really good - this is the sweet side of this incident. I also enjoyed the seasoned fries that came with my order. However, something down the line within communication is either not working for them or perhaps, my colleague and I were just unlucky placing our orders. Definitely a place to check out. I do hope, however, my next experience is a better one. read more

The breakfast burritos are no good. Instead of dicing or slicing the ham, they put several full slices. It only had egg and ham which made it very bland. The carne asada burritos have too much onion and beans that have no flavor. They also got my order wrong and seemed to be aware but they gave it to me as it was anyways. read more

Best breakfast burritos I have ever had. Been coming here for two years. Always get friendly service. Those burritos never fail, highly recommend them. read more

Sam's truck is an oasis in a part of Boyle Heights that lacks dining options. Sam is so entertaining that I often wish I could wait longer for the food. His portions are large and you can get three tacos for $3, plus sauce and fresh tortilla chips! When I feel a bit peckish, I go for the nachos, which is an enormous helping of nachos and ground beef. read more

This isn't specifically a taqueria-style taco truck, but more of a general lunch truck with sandwiches, pasta, gyros, burgers, etc. (If you want something not listed on the menu, just ask, and Sam will be more than glad to accommodate.) I'm partial to real taco trucks, and this isn't that, but when you don't have time to leave campus and drive somewhere else (which means a 10 minute walk to the parking lot, and 2-5 minute drive in any direction, leaving you maybe just 20 minutes to enjoy your food), Sam's is a good option for USC HSC. Better yet, if you're stressed or stretched thin from the pressures of grad school, few people can diffuse anxiety or a bad mood like Sam can - he is an amiable, warm gentleman. read more

i got a burger and fries and it was pretty gross. The food was mildly warm and it tasted like it had been cooked hours ago. Maybe i ordered the wrong thing but if you cant make a burger good than there is no hope :( read more

Sam's truck is great for variety and also because he's a genuinely nice guy. He will make you something special from what they have in the truck, substitutions and additions are no problem. Especially good are the vegetarian options- love the veggie burger and the potato tacos. Fast and reasonable and served with a smile! read more

I have eating pretty healthy. Sam has been very accommodating to prepare for me protein with vegetables. The food is very flavorful and tasty. What is great about Sam is that he has GREAT customer service presence. Thank you Sam. read more

Love this place...the owners are very friendly, tacos are always moist and not dry, rice is good, beans are good...can't ask for much more than that right? read more

Great place to get tacos on campus. I got 3 chicken tacos and my order came with some chips and guacamole. People who work there are nice and they get the food out to you pretty fast. He has a variety of food choices available and on one occasion I got the chicken burrito, but the tacos are still my food of choice at Sam's. read more

I'm a regular at Sam's and love their carne asada wet burritos (que the puns..). The older gentleman who used to run the truck doesn't come as often but his son (nephew?) who replaced him is also great! The crazy fries are also delicious! read more

Sam's Gourmet is one of the BEST food trucks around LA garanteed!!! The quality of the food is great, the food is well seasoned and you get huge portions of food for the price. He will make anything you can think of and the prices are low!! read more

There's a very wide variety of selections to choose from and everything I've tried has been pretty good (carne asada tacos, veggie burrito, carne asada torta, crazy fries, California burger, falafel sandwich, falafel salad, etc.). For the most part, the quality is basically the same as what you would get at your everyday hole-in-the-wall burger joint and it's all available at a pretty cheap price. The real winner here is the carne asada tacos because unlike at most taco trucks, these tacos are made with 5 inch tortillas (4 inch is the norm) and come with guacamole. read more

Best Breakfast burritos!!!! I highly recommend you try them! It has bacon, sausage, ham, egg , cheese and hash browns!! They're so good!

The service is always great and fast. The food is always of quality whether I am eating a burrito or a burger. I look forward to eating here anytime I can. Also the fries are the best! read more

Been coming here for a year and half now, and I have to say that if you are looking for a cheap food truck with good food that will fill you up, this is it! The crazy fries are a must. Most of the time i pick 2 tacos (chicken, carne asada) with a side of crazy fries. Pack it up, find a nice place to sit, and enjoy a tasty meal for 4$. Its not gourmet, but it hits the spot and sits right. read more

I love Sam's Truck. Great food at really good prices. Sam is courteous and always treats his customers well. Often there is a line in front of his truck during morning and lunch -- but the line moves quickly. Food is fresh and made to orders. My favorite's are the gyro, chicken plate with rice and California burger. I highly recommend a visit to Sam Truck. read more

Cheap food near USC health sciences/county hospital. I love it when they have kebab or gyros, the plates are very filling for such a low price (5-6 bucks i think). Tastewise about average, certainly not a gourmet food truck, but rather one with a huge, diverse menu. read more

Great food ! Affordable prices ! I will definitely go back . Crazy fries is a must try
