    My last Food Truck review was almost 2 months ago!? Well, I was back at Los Al DinDinaGoGo, & it's about a new OC truck called Spudrunners, which serves fries, baked potatoes, 2 soups, & grilled cheese sandwiches. And from an AVID fan of French Fries my $5 Santa Fe Spud without the Cilantro Lime Chicken ($1 extra) was unexpectedly damn delicious! The potato piece alone was well-seasoned w/o emphasizing more on sodium side, crisp on the outside, & almost perfectly starchy on the inside. Cheddar cheese blend was, you guessed it, cheesy; & minced veggies on top were fresh, including the good, flavorsome green chiles. Finally, the Chipotle Ranch on the side (which I happily f'in prefer, & the guy poured that by default) gave a decent oomph of its emblematic ranch + chipotle essence. And was my filling dish spicy, if you wondered--nope, not at all, you sensitive tongue, you :P. It may not be that original for what it costs, but it wasn't so bad as a vegetarian dish (which resulted in me getting something full of protein at Lime Truck ^_^). Plus, I had a short & sweet chat w/ a couple of ladies sitting w/ me, & from their POV their Chili Cheese Fries were really good, the Grilled Cheese [her] Way was alright (she didn't try Grilled Cheese Truck, btw), & the Spud Bowl [soup] was chunky & yummy. Bottom line: I like my chicken-less Santa Fe Spud, & I trust these ladies' candid critiques. 3.5 stars, Spudrunners from the OC :D! Btw, have cash ready, or pay $0.25 transaction fee for a less than $15 meal!

    Would have been 4 stars but everyone in line (us included) waited 30+ minutes for their food. The staff was moving as slow as molasses to prepare the food/take orders. Had the Chipotle Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich. (chicken breast, cheese, sweet onions, tomato, and some green chili and chipotle ranch on buttered sourdough bread) It was super mouth wateringly cheesy chicken DELICIOUS.

    Another french fry truck? NAY!! It's a spud truck and that has made all the difference. Spudrunners doesn't just offer delicious french fries but more importantly they sell loaded baked potatoes (and chili for some reason). I like baked potatoes but Maama LOVES baked potatoes. It made me excited that I could bring her to the Din Din and she would really like something. We both ordered the loaded baked potatoes. Hers just had bacon and cheese. Mine had everything (sour cream on the side for the Tedmeister). The wait was super short and the staff was polite. *side note: my friend's chili and grilled cheese looked extremely yummy* Potatoes cooked to perfection; not too soft, not too hard and not too starchy. What more could a girl ask for. Since I'm watching my figure I pawned most of my tater off on Ted but it was still super good. Next time I'm going to consider some chili. And if you are ever looking for a quick, easy and majorly delicious baked potato then you shall look no further than the spudrunner. But you may just have to chase them down as they spudrun away from you!

    I'm going to keep this short & sweet... Ordered a grilled cheese & blackberry lemonade. Here's the grilled cheese: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=sDrRAoS8yhs091NMn52_QA&userid=B8CqppjOne8X4RSJ5KYOvQ I enjoyed both items. =)

    3.5 stars. I had their santa fe fries, which has caramelaized onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and chicken. It was a good snack, but I wasn't blown away. Although, I was impressed that the fries didn't get really soggy in a matter of minutes. I finished it all, but my friends didn't care for their food. It took quite a while for us to get our food too and there wasn't very much of a line, it was understandable though since it's made to order. Nice guys, decent food. Probably not worth $8 for the fries though.

    Pesto Chicken sandwich, fries & sun-dried tomato basil dipping sauce

    You carboliscious truck, I present to you my 4-1/2 stars. Hubby, 8yo, and I headed to the Flavorful Fridays Meetup this fine 111111 day, and being a holiday (for most people), there were only 5 food trucks - Spudrunners, Dos Chinos, Bacon Mania, Lime Truck, and Shortstop BBQ. Shortstop BBQ was already closed up by the time we got there around 1:30. It must have been a slow day. Spudrunners' special was the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich or fries for $9, which was tempting, but my cheapiness kicked in and I opted for the Pesto Chicken sandwich for $7. The nice gentleman who took my order suggested making it into a combo that included fries and lemonade for $10 all together. Shoot, for more food, I happily paid that extra $3! I got the blackberry lemonade and the sun-dried tomato basil dipping sauce for my fries. Woot. Hubby ended up getting the Philly Cheese Steak fries with the garlic roasted onion dipping sauce. Woot woot. My 8yo got bacon balls from Bacon Mania. No woot (she didn't give me any). The Pesto Chicken was oh-so-toasty-crunchy-good. The grilled sourdough bread already scored points from the get-go (it's sourdough, aiight?), and the fresh tomatoes and spinach balanced out the richness of the cheese and aioli. The chicken wasn't overly seasoned too. Yum. Yum. The sun-dried tomato basil dip was good, but the garlic roasted onion dip was more flavorful (if you have to go back to work, you'd probably want to think twice about getting that one though...garlic + onion). The Philly Cheese Steak fries were good too, but I probably would've liked the sandwich version (oh well, hubby paid). The combo itself was a lot of food, so it can easily be shared between 2 girls. Not enough for 2 dudes though. I knocked off a 1/2 star because the fries were a bit salty for me, but that's just me since I'm sensitive to salt, and I will happily bring my BP monitor along for another round of Spudrunners.

    Delicious chicken pesto sandwich. But they were out of spinach :(

    Spudrunners is a gourmet food truck that specializes in - you guessed it - potatoes! Their menu consists of french fries served various ways, baked potatoes, potato soups, and surprisingly, grilled cheese sandwiches and chili. I'm not a baked potato person, so I tried the pesto chicken sandwich. Grilled chicken, brie cheese, tomato, pesto basil aioli and spinach on sourdough. I didn't have to wait in a line and my food was done within 5 minutes. This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I wasn't expecting it to be so delicious but I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It was juicy, flavorful and melted in my mouth. Next time I'm trying the Santa Fe fries and the blackberry lemonade, but I have a feeling I'll keep returning to the pesto chicken sandwich. One bad thing about my experience - the sandwich was supposed to come with spinach (that made me feel a little less guilty about the lack of healthy-ness) but they were all out. Don't get me wrong, it was still amazing without the spinach, I just wished they had had some. Another reason they got 4 stars instead of 5? Their prices are higher than what's posted on their website. I went while they were parked at Cal State Fullerton, and I had looked at their menu online beforehand. Come on guys..you're serving starving college students and you're gonna raise your prices? Not cool. They did have a deal where you could add a fresh lemonade and fries to your sandwich for $3, which would make the total price either $9 or $10, depending on your choice of sandwich.

    I was initially going to skip this truck since I wasn't in the mood for fries or a baked potato. I'm glad I actually paused to look at the menu. The have fires, potatoes and sandwiches, but not you mamma's grilled cheese, some really interesting items. Although I wasn't interested in fries, the tri-tip chili fries called my name. I asked for the chili on the side because I wanted to try one of the many dipping sauces - they were keen to oblige. They put the chili in a cup, and I had tons left over to eat solo. All in all the fries were pretty good. The chili was probably a bit tomatoey as a stand-alone bowl (for my taste). It was very good however, and equally, very fresh. I had the roasted garlic dipping sauce, and it was great with the fries. Next time, I think I am going to try the Chipotle Chicke grilled cheese sandwich. This was a good truck with very cool guys inside.

I liked that the weather was nicer in Costa Mesa than in Arcadia. I liked that there were more food vendors in Costa Mesa compared to the one in San Diego. Now, I'm not so sure if the Costa Mesa 626 is any better than the other two. I went there this past weekend and was disappointed with my experience. The weather was great as expected, BUT there weren't as many food vendors this year compared to the year before. It looked like an entire row of food vendors was missing. In their place were additional street vendors hawking crap that I don't need. Honestly, I expected more from the 626 given that the entrance fee was significantly more than in previous years ($18 per person). Anyway, I made the best of the situation by hitting up my favorite vendors including Pink Mango (their mango sticky rice is epic), Etoile Filante Patisserie (their macarons are both cute and delicious), and a place that sells tanghulu (candied fruits such as strawberries and grapes on skewers). Hopefully, the one in Arcadia in June will have more food vendors participating in the event. It's not going to be fun to go out there in the extreme heat, only to find out that the options are limited.
