On the specific night that we went, they had 4 or 5 food trucks, one dessert truck, and a coffee truck that was quite popular. Our favorites were the pupusas and the lobster truck, but there was a good variety of food so everyone was able to find something that they liked. We had 2 little kids with us and they were able to run around which was perfect! They have some tables and chairs set up, and a DJ as well which added a fun element to it. If you're in the area, it's worth a stop.

What a super fun gathering…read more I had no idea this was going on. I was driving to get dinner and I noticed over 10 food trucks in the Lakewood Mall Parking Lot. I parked and had to check it out. Not only were there food trucks but there were also dessert trucks. There was a truck for churros and cupcakes. Who would have thought? It was a cool place to hang out with a solid selections of food trucks and a DJ that was doing a great job at adding high energy to the event. It's from 5 to 9pm and it happens every Friday night.

I purchased last night (2/7) when they were parked off Whittier Blvd. Food was decent and paid $38 for two bowls using one debit card, but when I woke up this morning (2/8) I had FOUR Fraud alerts showing them trying to charge a separate debit card in my name for more money, the highest being $110. How they got my other card information (linked to a credit union) through my Chase account, I have no idea but I strongly advise you do not use their services. If you must, pay cash. Luckily my account blocked 3/4 charges and one was still pending (shown in pictures). They use a square for credit card payments.

Best Bites Food Truck Events

Best Bites has three food truck gathering in the Whittier and Santa Fe Springs area on Mondays,…read moreTuesdays, and Thursdays. My particular visit was on a Tuesday night at Pioneer high school in Whittier. There were 12 food trucks circling the edge of the parking lot. At 6:30 PM there were a lot of people eating, but not a lot of people waiting in lines at the food trucks. By 7:30 PM, most of the crowd had dissipated. When there's not a lot of business, the food truck owners tend to play on their phones. Many of my Instagram and tweets were commented or retweeted, which tells me that they were not busy enough in sales. It's an excellent food truck gathering, with plenty of choices. As a long time food truck blogger, I feel that there's too many trucks and not enough people. Best bites could reduce the trucks from 12 to say, eight trucks, and there will still be plenty of trucks for the people, and more business for the food trucks. A total win-win situation. I do like there's plenty of tables and chairs, and a DJ spinning catchy tunes. On my visit there was also a Photo Booth that the fans can use. Plenty of free parking, but unfortunately once the sun went down, the place got very dark. I hope this location continues to thrive, as the location is very good and the community seems to like it.

Many options to choose from. Even dessert! They have a dj spinning great tunes for entertainment…read more Tables set up to eat there. And I love the fact that it's close to home. At Cal High!

The salsas also tasted fresh, but they were pretty bland and had almost no spice or kick to them. The biggest disappointment was the premium arrachera burrito. For $17.50, I expected the meat to be the highlight, but instead the burrito was mostly rice and beans. The filling was also very soft and mushy overall. The arrachera itself was chopped into tiny, fatty pieces with very little flavor, and it got completely lost among the rice and beans. It didn't have the grilled, seasoned beef flavor I was expecting from a premium burrito. Maybe this is the new standard, or maybe California food costs are forcing restaurants to cut corners to keep prices where they are--I honestly don't know. But at $17.50, I expected a lot more meat and a lot more flavor. I don't mind paying premium prices for premium food, but this just didn't feel like a premium burrito. The fresh ingredients, fast service, and friendly staff were all appreciated, but the burrito itself didn't live up to the price or the reputation.

Some places will do one or 2 meats right but this place does it all. my husband go her frequently well...ugh ok almost every Friday because well nothing else compares. I've lived in CA for decades from NorCal to SoCal...and I know MX food pretty well. Not an expert nor a native but in terms of street tacos, they're exceptional. Service is also great in that they are quick on the phone and never get the order wrong. It's nice too that there's a convenience store next door for drinks or snacks or whatever else you may want to grab! Some outdoor seating but it is limited. You will wait about 10m or so for your order **because it is made fresh by hand** Prices are reasonable, please ensure to tip! Cheers
