Caught Hotsy Totsy at Campbell Park for Food Truck Friday. The menu looked incredibly tasty, but I…read moreultimately decided to try the Brisket Totchos. This was a brilliant concoction of taco meat, briskett,brisket, red onions, and sour cream. And if you like a bit of heat, it also comes with jalepenos. All of it is a riff on loaded fries except tator tots are used instead. The portion size was quite nice, the workers were very friendly, and the dish arrived quickly despite the steady line of people placing orders. Looking forward to visiting the truck again and enjoying other variations on their menu.

My first experience with the Hotsy Totsy food truck was at Middlebrook Farm's "Fridays at the…read moreFarm." The line was steady and long for them the entire night. I wanted to let the line die down a bit since I had my kids running around all over. Lucky for me, it eventually did. After a very short wait, I was lucky to snag the last serving of the Totsy Gyro. A friend had suggested it. Many of the other menu items had already sold out. It was delicious!!! The gyro meat was very tender. All of the toppings added just the right flavors and I loved the addition of tots mixed in. Definitely looking forward to eating food from them again.

El Burrito Loco (approximately 1500 NW 86th St, Clive, IA 50325...just South of Jimmy John's on the…read moreWest side of the road). First time visit at this truck. Won't be my last. The ladies working the window were wonderfully delightful. So polite and smiles that just make your day a little brighter... The parking area around the truck is gravel, but spacious and with two entrances/exits off the road. They are a cash only truck. I ordered the Chori Pollo Burrito and a Pastor Torta, The total for the two items was $16 before tip. They present you with a beeper so you can wait for your order in your car. You can do that... But if you like the smell of seasoned cooking meat and vegetables you'll want to just stand there and enjoy a little fresh air and let your olfactory senses take you on a journey. After a bout with Covid I enjoy the taste and smell of food just a little bit more right now anyway. I was the only customer there when I arrived and it was a short wait. Bang for your buck... This is not a truck where you feel like you've overspent and walk away still hungry. You know those fat little babies...? When they're pudging up and look like they can only roll from one place to another? This burrito reminded me of the knee to the hip on one of those little roly poly rug rats. You know what I'm saying... Right? The torta was a little lighter in heft, but just as big. Each item filled its to go container, was accompanied with grilled onions and a roasted pepper, and two different hot sauces. The verde sauce was my favorite of the two. The meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly. The meats were seasoned nicely. Everything was fresh and tender. The roll the torta came on was soft, but the outside surface still had a little crunch to it. The creaminess of fresh avocado and cheese in the torta really hit the mark. I love my local Clive businesses and I wish I'd stopped in here sooner. Good people and good food. https://www.facebook.com/elburritoloco1406/

Sabores de Mexico, which translates as flavors of Mexico, lives up to its name. Tacos, tamales, and…read moreother menu items have kept their street food authenticity. We are huge taco fans, but one of the things that singles Sabores out are their tamales. Chicken, pork... never dried out, always flavorful. Service is pretty quick, and orders are always accurate (no cilantro, por favor). Typically located in the Sherwood Forest shopping area, they are one of the few eateries in the immediate area. What you need to know: * This taco truck is definitely mobile and may not always be at this location. While not entirely reliable, it is a good idea to check their social media to see if they are closed, at a festival, etc. * The last time I checked, their sauces were house made and both are a little unique so be certain to at least give them a taste. * The horchata here is quite good and just right nine stops out of ten.

After some research, I found they are made by our friends at St Kilda. I will be ordering directly from them.

My boyfriend bought the 14-hour braised steak (rich peppercorn reduction & balsamic infused caramelized onions). We both wanted to try it so we split it in half and the half portion was plenty filling for each of us AND it was absolutely delicious! When I found out it was a local brand I had to go to Hyvee to try the other flavors. So far the other flavor I've tried is the Chicken Sun dried & cherry tomatoes in a basil béchamel. It was so good! I started with a half portion but it was so good I ate the other in the same sitting. That was a mistake on my part because I was too full eating the whole thing! The pie may seem small but it is plenty filling for two meals. The nutrition facts on the back are based on a half serving and at half size the caloric intake is over 400 calories. But it's to be expected because these things are so good! I can't wait to try the other different flavors I bought of PIE MATES from Hyvee.

I even loved the corn tortilla shell which typically falls apart when I've had it at other places but not here which was so nice. Location: This food truck is also in such a great location along the bike trail near valley junction. They're so kind too they have a water cooler out there for people to have free water and bikers can fill their water bottles from it. Seating: They have quite a few picnic tables and they all have umbrellas which is so nice to have a shaded spot to eat. 100% recommend stopping by, eating awesome food, and supporting a local small family business!

Good stuff! This…read moretruck has been parked at the Glacier Properties office in Clive for the past few days. I live right down the street...two blocks or so. I wasn't sure if they took cards or not...and I haven't made it to an ATM lately so I've hesitated to stop by. But tonight was the night...! It was a brisk night, it had been windy, and was spitting snow earlier. After a quick trip (Kwik Star actually) to an ATM I whipped into the parking lot and headed to the window. I was greeted right away as I walked up. They do take cards. There was a payanywhere station on the counter. The menu is posted on the truck along with their prices. I ordered three quesa birria tacos and a barbacoa torta. Paid and tipped. They handed me a pager so I could wait for the food where it was a little warmer. That was much appreciated. It was a really short wait...I didn't even get halfway through the YouTube video I'd queued up. Lol Staff was friendly and the food was packaged well. After the short drive home I unpacked my food on the coffee table. The smell in the car was almost unbearable... It's a wonder I made it home before breaking into it. The food was fresh and hot. It came with the expected things on the side. A red hot sauce, onions, peppers, and limes. The beef in both the birria and barbacoa tasted great. The tacos were also topped with onions and cilantro. The torta with onions, cilantro, and avocado. I really enjoyed the roll the torta came on. A little hard and crunchy on the outside to hold things together and soft on the inside. It would almost be perfect for a proper cheesesteak...if you know you know. Unlike some other trucks these guys don't skimp on the meat. It could be dangerous having a truck with birria this close to home. Something the other two trucks nearby lack... With all transparency they're not my absolute favorite quesa birria tacos... They don't serve the side of consume for dipping. But they are good! And I don't need to burn through the gas to drive over to Flame or track down Nina's or Taqueria Marissa. I'm glad I stopped. Hopefully others will give them some business too. I'll definitely be a return customer and will be checking out more of their menu! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553402785567&mibextid=LQQJ4d
