I absolutely love the Green Goddess Veggie Wrap! It's filling and delicious. Ask for some chipotle ranch on the side.
Shay M.

I can't believe I haven't left a review yet, I love this truck! 5/5!!! Hands-down the Green Goddess Veggie Wrap is slammin'! Personally I like to add cheese to mine. But the wrap has super fresh ingredients like lettuce, tomato, avocado, sprouts, cucumber, and more. It also comes with this really tasty Dijon sauce. Be sure to ask for a side of their chipotle ranch to go with it. Bomb! Honestly, prior to going vegetarian I never would have tried it. Now that I'm flexing between vegetarian and carnivore, I really look forward to this wrap. Plus the people on the truck are really nice and can get your order out quickly. I can't wait till they come back! Thank you Simply Fresh...the name says it all! Get you some!

Tried this truck out while they were parked at UCSD. I ordered the Cuban panini and it was delicious! Paid 16$ with tax and I wasn't expecting such huge sandwich. From my experience food trucks cost a lot and they give little portions but not was I wrong! All the flavors in a Cuban sandwich were hitting and I must say I'll def be buying from them again!

Another great food truck experience through my office lunch program. Simply Fresh food truck came by today and offered a green goddess wrap, buffalo soldier chicken sandwich, and a pulled pork and rice plate. The people working in the truck were very nice, accommodating, and offered some options if you didn't like some of the items that came with the meal. I went with the pulled pork plate, which came with pulled pork, on a bed of white rice, and some scallions. While the presentation did not look like much it was outstanding and tasted delicious. The Pork was pull apart yummy melt in your mouth, and the rice was cooked perfectly. It went together very well. I enjoyed it. You also got your choice of chips or celery slaw, I opted for the chips. My coworker got the buffalo soldier chicken sandwich on a brioche bun so I posted some pics of that as well. Definitely a nice presentation to that sandwich.

Simply Fresh has once again exceeded my expectations. Last time I got their food I went with the chicken cesar wrap and it was the BEST wrap of my life. I recommended it to my friend today and she describes it as "the perfect flavor of fresh green" and loves the red onions and Parmesan. Today I went with the mac and cheese with pulled pork and I absolutely was not disappointed. Simply Fresh's attention to detail, kind and attentive staff, and overall execution of their menu is unmatched. When I went to pick up my order the guy even asked me if I wanted some cheddar and green onions on top and it really just put the dish over the edge. This mac and cheese is so good. Its multi-colored swirly noodles with the perfect cheesy sauce and pork and onions to top is perfection. I will be counting down the days until I can eat Simply Fresh again.

My friends hired Simply Fresh to cater their wedding. This food truck knocked it out of the park! There were three appetizers -- I think it was tomato basil soup, mac and cheese, and avocado salad -- and three entree choices: a bbq pulled pork sandwich, a chicken and rice dish, and the green goddess wrap. The apps were a fun and tasty intro, and the sandwich did not disappoint. The barbecue sauce and cole slaw complemented each other and the pork very well. The only downside for Simply Fresh catering was that they ran out of the chicken dish much sooner than the others. It's hard to blame anyone for that, though, as I imagine the bride and groom ordered ahead based on which dish they thought would be most popular. I would be very happy to attend another wedding or function that Simply Fresh was catering!

This food was delicious! The service was AMAZING! And their vibe was right up my alley! Hope they come back soon!

Grilled Cheese Bites

What we ordered: Grilled Cheese Bites from the Simply Fresh food truck @ Helix Brewing! What we thought: We really liked this as a nice snack with our beers. The tomato basil bisque especially made for a great dip to the grilled cheese! For those looking for an awesome ambiance, we give Helix Brewing Co. a 5/5 -- the live music, decor, drinks were perfect! What we rated it: 4/5, especially for a food truck!

We landed in SD at midnight on a Thursday but didn't leave the airport till 1 am. We initially…read morewanted tacos from elsewhere, but they were closed. This was the next closest spot (it was actually some place else we were looking for) and since we aren't familiar with the area, we didn't know what Hillcrest was known for, and it was popping at 1:30 am! I told CK we have to hurry and beat the drunk crowds! This taco truck doesn't have prices listed and after our bill came out to $75 for 6 tacos and carne asada fries, we asked for the receipt (to make sure we weren't overcharged). But really, it's like ~$8 ea for a taco and $17.50 for carne asada fries! We ordered a keto taco, vampiro taco, and carne asada fries. Keto tacos are made with a cheese shell instead of tortilla and this was the best keto taco I've ever had because it isn't overly salty and it's a generous size - I'm still thinking about it today! The cheese was perfectly melted inside, I was so surprised how much he used. The vampiro taco took me by surprise. Either I've never had a good one and this place did it right, or it's the best one I've had also. Quick reference from google as to what a vampiro taco is: "A vampiro taco is a crispy Mexican street taco that features a griddled, crispy tortilla with a layer of melted cheese, topped with meat (like grilled steak), and finished with fresh toppings such as guacamole, onion, and salsa. It's a cross between a tostada and a quesadilla, known for its crunchy texture and savory, cheesy flavor." This vampiro taco was like a taco sandwich, and it was sooo good, cause the tortilla's that were used as buns were CRISPY! It was so filling, I couldn't finish my second vampiro taco (after I ate the keto). CK also loved the carne asada fries - but I didn't get to try it. Though we felt scammed out of $75 for 6 tacos and fries, we did say it was worth the money for how everything tasted. Definitely a stop for next time even when you're sober!

We heard about Shawarma guys from YT featuring best food spots in San Diego. We went to their South…read morePark branch. We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

Came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm. I ordered online in advance and just waited outside…read morefor my order. There were plenty of parking spots around this time. Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

I'm writing this review at 5:07 pm. I ordered 6 fish tacos and 2 steak tacos and that's it. I…read moreordered at 4:21pm and I am still waiting for my tacos. This is bull shit and I will never recommend this place to anyone . This is pathetic. People that ordered 5 minutes ago have already been served and they just talk shit on me in Spanish....

Comes in a personal sized cup and can be shared as a group or as part of your entree. -Grilled Octopus/Pulpo Taco: I'm always a little hesitant about grilled octopus because it's hard to prepare and can end up being really chewy. It was grilled perfectly here! The chunks were big enough so you get the squid flavor. It also comes with a sweet/spicy sauce which was unexpected but really yummy. -Battered Fish Taco: my favorite dish! Huge flaky piece of fish that's fried really well. Not too much rough and you can really taste the fish. -Chips and Guac: fresh made guac! Get it as a side order and you can add to your tacos too. It can get really busy here. Our food took longer than expected and you have to wait around for a table too. Parking lot can be a hit or miss. Try to come during off hours!

I know everybody loves a good redemption story and so this time I've got one for you…read more If you've seen my last PR review, you know it wasn't too favorable. However to be fair, I think it was an understandable decision on PR's part to pre-cook a bunch of pizzas to quickly serve a large lunch crowd. Again, it was understandable, but maybe not the best decision. This time PR was back, and because it wasn't a free pizza party, they were serving up several of their pastas, which I had heard were better than their pizza. Well, my coworker was right...the pasta was much better than the pizza. I went with the truffle mac and cheese that came with a small piece of bread and a soda for $5. Keep in mind, that $5 deal was simply because my employer subsidized the rest of the cost. The pasta was cooked nice and al dente and the ground mushroom sauce was creamy and delicious. I appreciated that they served it with some additional S&P, and I liked the added parmesan on the dish as well. Unfortunately though, the "truffle" was only from added truffle oil that was really lacking in this dish. The mac was tasty but it was really missing that truffle flavor. Although the pre-cooked pizza was a big miss for me, the mac and cheese helped PR redeem themselves. Thanks PR! Overall 3.5 stars!

This food truck came to my work a couple weeks ago and honestly I wasn't a fan…read more I ordered a marinara pasta vegan style with a salad and it was meh. The salad wasn't anything special. The pasta ended up being overcooked which sucked. No one likes over cooked pasta. Also the sauce didn't exactly coat the pasta. It basically was pasta swimming in sauce but when you picked up a piece of pasta there was no sauce on it. I feel like this business has potential and prob didn't make great food since there were a lot of ppl ordering, but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It intrigued me but it took me a few weeks to make it back as I am partial to Kiko's place and wasn't sure if it was temporary or not! I finally made it up there yesterday after hearing good things on nextdoor.com and to my surprise they already had advanced from a taco stand to a food truck! Also instead of being there Th-Sun they are going to be there every day except for Monday! I took this as a good sign and figured they must be doing something right! I could not believe the fish tacos were only $1 each! The rest of the menu items also were very cheap. I ordered 2 fish tacos and my gf ordered the nopal and pastor taco. The total for our food was $5, can't beat that for a authentic dinner out! We didn't have to wait long and all the tacos were EXCELLENT. In my opinion the fish tacos were the best but that's just what I prefer. These are street tacos so they are a bit smaller than a full on soft taco but two was a good amount, three would have really filled me up. I am definitely going to come back. All the employees on the truck were super friendly and were very thorough in explaining all the different items on the menu. I have a feeling it is a family run food truck and they are still working out a few kinks but they are definitely on the right path. I would suggest better seating. They only had 2 high stools and a lower table. I think if they set the mood with better music, seating and lighting it could be a neighborhood hangout.
