    Lovely little coffee truck!
    Esme N.

    Shine is the best. Good vibes, amazing coffee. My husband and I come here often. Lately it's been once a week. I change up my order to try new things; the mocha latte, caramel latte, and chai are all delicious and full of flavor. My husband, though, sticks to his regular order of the Apple Sin latte every single time. Idk how the owner put all the amazing flavors of an apple pie in a latte, but dang, it's so good! This coffee truck deserves more recognition and praise. Try it out!

    Brown Suge Iced

    Loved this place! I got one of the specialty coffees it was a brown sugar with raw sugar shaken espresso and it was really good!! Price was very reasonable/on point for an espresso drink, I got a regular size which is 16oz. The truck is super cute aesthetic, I love the yellow theme. The owner has matching yellow and black seating right out the truck which is great for waiting for your drink. This is the vibe I've been looking for that I feel is hard to find in San Antonio coffee shops/trucks - culture and passion for coffee.

    Apple cinnamon hot latte

    Such a cute spot for a morning coffee! Tried the Brown Suge (iced) and Apple Sin (hot).

    Apple Sin iced latte.

    I had the iced Apple Sin latte and thought it was nothing special. Especially because I have had the best seasonal apple latte at Gravves coffee a block or so over. I like the vibe and the location being across a thrift store. The service was great. Just might drive passed it on the weekends to a little known spot that is not on yelp but I'll gate keep that place for now. 3.5 star as it is the 3rd or 4th best coffee within a 4 block radius.

    Great coffee, we had a brown sugar cappuccino and a matcha latte. It was delicious! Great vibe and close to downtown.

    San Antonio's newest (and coolest looking) coffee truck has arrived! Right off of N. St. Mary's street is the raddest little truck. Shine had his soft opening and is gearing up for his Grand Opening next week. I think he's ready. The coffee is super excellent and smooth. I had an iced caramel latte with oat milk and it was incredible. Not too sweet and really hit the spot this hot June day. Shine has lactose free alternatives for those of you who are vegan or have sensitive tummies (like me!). The owner is SO NICE, you guys. He was so fun to make conversation with, and I loved hearing about how he got interested in coffee and called the truck his Pandemic Baby. I'm so glad he took the plunge and opened. This is already going to be a popular spot, I can feel it. The menu is small but powerful, even serving up my favorite drink, the cortado. However, due to the heat, I had to get something ice cold. When he's officially open please take some time to swing by.

    Found this place since I went out of the way to run an errand. Its a no frills coffee shop. Its the basics of real coffee for those that needs that boost in the AM. Located in the community garden parking lot. A good strong Americano got my morning going

    I'm visiting San Antonio and staying nearby. I grabbed an americano and it was sublime. Complex roasted and chocolate flavors with a little sweetness and no excess bitterness. He knows how to brew! Wish I could take you back to Michigan with me.

    How cute is this! A little mobile coffee truck! The vibe is real chill. Absolutely refreshing little spot to grab a coffee. Love it.

    I usually order just a basic ice coffee black. They didn't have it just yet so he recommended something that was essentially an iced americano but shaken - I can't remember the exact name. It was delicious, really smooth. They're located in a parking lot with plenty of parking and a cute little shaded bench to sip your coffee. The owner was friendly. The truck/aesthetic was super simple yet cute. Andddd they're black owned! Can't wait to get back to try other menu items!

I'll definitely be going back to try some of the other cuisines.

I went back and was given a little cup of banana peppers and told It won't happen again. Well sir ...this is the 3rd time this has happened. Whether lts missing extra mushroom,lettuce and tomatoes or banana pepper,the expensive price I pay or how rude some can be boggles my mind. Just gimme what I pay for. Never will I go back and that sucks because it's right up the street. Benefit of doubt is what I give . I should've just got my money back . Did they offer that....of course not. Make me another cheessteak, nope . Done with place!

The salsa was on POINT! The Mamon taco was my favorite. It was so flavorful and the salsa just put it over the top. The mini tacos were good as well. The meat was tender and hardly any fat. Service:Fast and people were super nice. Ambiance: this is a great hang out spot! There is something for everyone. Lots of food trucks to select from, beer, margaritas, aguas frescas, plenty of seating, area for kids to play, and plenty of seating. It's not far from several parking areas as well as Idle Brewery and other spots. Check it out!

    I don't say this lightly: this was hands down the best rib burrito I've ever had. The flavors were…read morebold, spicy, and unforgettable -- definitely not for anyone with a mild palate (but if you love heat, you're in for a treat!). Here's what made it amazing: * Tender, juicy smoked rib meat that practically melts in your mouth * Spicy jalapeño rice, fries, and charro beans layered inside * Wrapped in a perfectly crisped tortilla that holds it all together without falling apart Each bite was an explosion of smoky, spicy, savory goodness. The kind of flavor that makes you stop mid-bite and say "whoa." But what made this visit even better was the incredible woman behind the counter -- the one who made the jalapeño rice. Her kindness, warmth, and sweet spirit turned an amazing meal into a memorable experience. You can taste the love she puts into the food. This isn't just a burrito -- it's a full-on flavor event. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. Highly, highly recommend!

Once we got to this place, there are around, 8 food truck, two Birria trucks, one Mexican food truck, a Brazilian food truck, hot chicken food truck. And a snow cone place. We got the Dino wrex plate, one beef Dino rib, a full rack of pork ribs, there was Mac and cheese inside the rolled up rack of ribs. The meat sat on a layer of French fries. This plate fed five of us, still had some left overs. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that we had to cut the string off the rack of ribs, and that we had to pull the ribs apart. Probably be nice if they cut the rack just a bit. We also got a plate from the Brazilian restaurant, but we just picked at it, cause we were full from the ribs. The bacon wrapped chicken was delicious, the sausage was good the steak, was ok, the could have used a better cut of meat. The place is really cool, kid friendly with a playscape. Enclosed area, so the kids stay in the area. Also a full bar, I had a couple of beers. And the best wasn't the Brazilian lemonade.

My husband got the gringa, which was also a great portion size. The restaurant is very clean and the service is quick, even when they're busy. However, the one major downside is that they do not have a changing table in the restroom. I had to go out to the car to change my baby, which was a huge inconvenience. Great food, but not the most convenient for families with infants.
