For what this truly is - a late night spot serving up greasy drunk food and drinks - it's just fine and serves its purpose. This cute food truck is located inside the Park MGM just around the corner from the room elevators which makes it an ideal stop on your way back to your room after a show at Dolby Live or a night of dancing at On The Record. I had tried the corn dog bites which are pretty much exactly what you think they are - deep fried mini corn dogs, but they do come with a good quality mustard to dip into which adds a little something. The Hand Burger was flaky and buttery, I had expected something more akin to an empanada and was pleasantly surprised. The cheese and meat filling was decent and drunk me had no complaints! Slushies have rotating flavors and I believe I got the mango, which was sweet and fruity, perfectly balancing out the tequila nip I added on! Signs say to order at the kiosk, but there was someone still taking orders at the window and you need to order at the window anyways if you want a drink. read more

If you've seen Chef, you probably walked in hoping for that iconic Cubano experience. Same here. Unfortunately, the Cubano at Chief Truck is all hype and none of the magic. The sandwich came out dry, bland, and completely lacking the flavor you'd expect. The bread wasn't crispy, and the whole thing tasted like it had been pre‑made and reheated. The food came out fast--almost too fast--which only reinforced the feeling that everything was cooked ahead of time and microwaved before serving. The bright spot: the cheese sticks and pretzel bites. Those were actually worth ordering and had way more care put into them than the Cubano. Overall, the Cubano is not recommended. If you go, stick to the snacks. read more

Inside Park MGM near the lobby. The Chef Truck Combo $17 - mojo pork, ham, cheese, pickles, and more. It's ok. The ham and pork isn't too salty. The Famous Grilled Cheese $12 - the bread was good and buttery. Cheese really is cheesy. I wished the cheese was more melted, but overall really good. Churros $7 - was surprisingly really good. It was so crunchy and soft on the inside. Not too sweet. Even with the caramel sauce, it was really good. Not very sweet. Plenty of seating. I was able to charge some to my room and rest to my credit card. read more

This place was okay overall. I ordered the Chef Truck Cubano, and it tasted pretty good, but nothing that really stood out to me. For almost $20 after tip, I honestly expected it to at least come with fries or some kind of side. The workers were nice and patient, and the place was definitely busy. I think part of why I was a little underwhelmed was because it was so hyped up from the movie, so I went in with pretty high expectations. But, If you're looking for a quick snack on the Strip, this place gets the job done. Just be ready to spend some $$. read more

WAS my #1 favorite spot in Vegas.... now... The worst.... I used to love them and they WERE my #1 spot when in town... but they went DOWN. Staff WAS nice - not anymore They used to give extra mojo sauce - not anymore They used to serve breakfast - not anymore Not what they used to be - changes went downhill. Food.... Just alright... maybe my palate is skewed due to the service. I will try Best Friend..... reviews to come.... Would I go back? Only if Jon Favreau and Roy Choi get better friendly staff. read more

Pass on this gimmick.. 27.80 with tip for a sandwich and one drink.. Why have a kiosk!? You still have to stand in line for your drink! Why because I'm sure your workers with the shitty attitude that pass out the food hate their job... The Cubano was decent but lacked flavor it felt like a sandwich trying to impersonate the real deal.. Wait is quick because it's all pre-made all they need to do is put in an oven press.. Man save your money. read more

This is located in the Park Mgm right at the elevator entrance to get to the rooms. I just wanted sweets so I ordered churros with caramel. They were good. The cashier was friendly but the guy handing out orders was just bland. I'm sure their food is good as they had a lot of people there BUT it was also only one of the food options in hotel open after 11:30pm read more

Inspired by the movie Chef, and created by Jon Favreau and Roy Choi, this was a wonderful place to find some very flavorful food. We quickly got some Churros which were perfectly crispy on the outside, along with a soft bite on the inside, balanced with ample cinnamon sugar and a caramel dip. The service was quick and with the truck located within the Park MGM the atmosphere was lively. Looking forward to returning and trying out more options upon this indoor food truck! read more

I was so excited when I saw the truck inside my hotel because I absolutely love the Chef movie. However, I can't in good conscience recommend the grilled cheese which is a staple of the movie! The grilled cheese was overly toasted on the outside and the cheese was cold and not melted inside. The only good part of my experience was the truck and decor was cool. Service was standard, you order at a kiosk and pick up at the truck window. read more

The Chef Truck is wheel-y good! Brought to you by the duo Roy Choi and Jon Favreau, The Chef Truck is serving up big flavors just steps from the elevators. You can't miss it. Vegas Cheesesteak Puff Pie (Provolone, cherry bomb peppers, and caramelized onions wrapped in flaky pastry), $16: YES. Just... YES. This one's a must. Imagine all the savory, cheesy goodness of a classic cheesesteak but tucked inside a golden, buttery puff pastry. It's warm, melty, and layered to perfection. Cheesesteak meets croissant. You won't regret it. The Chef Truck Cubano (Roasted mojo pork, ham, cheese, pickles, mustard, and salsa verde on a buttered roll), $17: Another winner. Perfectly pressed, flavorful, and everything you want in a Cubano. The mix of tender pork, melty cheese, and tangy pickles hits all the right notes. That Famous Grilled Cheese (Gruyere, parmesan, yellow cheddar, and white cheddar, on butter grilled sourdough), $12: A classic American sandwich that needs no introduce, just maybe a cup of tomato soup (which they do not offer). It's a cheesy and gooey grilled cheese. Roy and Jon did not miss. The Chef Truck is an easy win if you're craving bold, comfort-packed bites with a twist. read more

Little food truck sitting in the middle of mgm lobby. Came here for a quick bite to eat as it was just right outside the elevator. Got tacos and a mix bowl. Food came out relatively quick and had a variety of mixes in the bowl. Quite flavorful but the meat was a bit on the drier side. Def needed something to help wash down. read more

Just keep walking. I don't care if you've seen the movie (I hadn't) or it looks enticing, save your money and spend it elsewhere. We were staying at the ParkMGM and didn't want to go out to eat so we placed an online order at the chef truck. We walked to the truck and tried to figure out which window to wait at for our order and walked between the two to see. We weren't greeted and the employees in the truck were just talking to each other. Eventually we asked, and it turned out our food had just been sitting on a shelf, cold, before we got it. The cubano was mediocre at best and honestly the best thing we ordered were the mini corn dogs. The batter was super crispy and a good balance of sweet to counter the saltiness of the dog. At Vegas pricing though, this was not worth it. You can have a better meal elsewhere. read more

"Cooking is one of the most zen things - You have to be there." - Roy Choi Roy Choi might not be my boi, but The Chef Truck is legit. I like this spot more than Best Friend. I'll take a Cubano or a Philly Cheesesteak Puff Pie any day. That Famous Grilled Cheese is mid, though. I think I can make better grilled cheese but no hate. It's a legit grilled cheese at a Vegas price point. It's a neat set-up. It's a whole food truck right outside of the elevator area with a small seating area next to it. I recommend just taking your food up to your room to enjoy. Just get a grip of napkins because it can get greasy. read more

The Chef Truck - Cubano and Philly Cheesesteak Puff Pie. - Food Trucks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Disappointment is an absolute understatement. Look, Chef is one of my all-time favorite films and Cuabnos are one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. I know not everything in Vegas is going to be great, but considering the names behind this restaurant and the idea for it, it's such a shame of what the place is actually like. Maybe they were better at the beginning or even just before I visited because it seems that they made some major changes just before I stopped by. Just a few days before visiting, I checked the hours which showed they were open everyday for lunch and as early as 9am on weekends. Well I stopped by at 10am Sunday and they were closed, only to find out they changed hours to dinner only wed-sun and closed mon/tues. When I asked the cashier he said they recently laid off half the staff and changed the menu, adding "you know how these companies are". And with his tone, it seems like the Chef Truck is taking a deep dive for rock bottom. The food didn't help either. Starting off with the taquitos. How are these taquitos? The cashier mentioned it was huge but it's just a regular flower tortilla rolled up. It wasn't even fried. The whole thing was still soft and cold. The chicken was bland and there was nothing special about it even though the cashier added that it always sells out first. Now the grilled cheese. It was good, it was cheesy, and the bread was toasted nicely. Granted the menu reads exactly what you get, but with that, you still expect more because of where you get it from. It's nothing you can't make at home. And finally, the cubano. The sandwich for which made Chef Carl Casper who he is in the film. This, this isn't it. While sitting and waiting for the restaurant to open, we saw two workers wheel a cart full of pre-made sandwiches from the hotel's kitchen. Granted there's nothing in the sandwich that would make it soggy or "ruin" the sandwich, but it just feels lazy and unnecessary. They don't even use Cuban bread. The menu just says "pressed buttered roll". Ok then. Something I did not pay attention to at first is the salsa verde. What? Since when does a Cubano have salsa verde? That isn't a Cuban sandwich anymore. The meat was dry and bland, there was barely any ham, and the one slice of cheese was just put on one side of the sandwich. It was a poorly made and poorly tasting Cubano. Such a shame. I absolutely love Roy Choi and Jon Favreau, and it's almost heartbreaking to have this experience. read more

Would I come to the hotel JUST to try it? No. It isn't as noisy as the casino because it is tucked into a corner, and it has a seating area. None of the food we ordered was cooked on the truck.

Our visit was a complete waste of money! We had a loooongg travel day and were looking for a quick bite at our hotel (Park MGM) that was open super late. We found the Chef Truck - it looked so promising! We got the "famous" grilled cheese and the hand burger. One slice of bread of my grilled cheese was rock hard! I couldn't take a decent bite without risking tooth damage. I tried prying the inedible half from the salvageable half and the cheese concoction was fused to the side that was inedible. I ended up with an overpriced, sad piece of toast with remnants of cheesy goodness. My husband had the Hand Burger Pie. An absolute disaster on the opposite side of the spectrum. His burger was ice cold in the middle. The edges were warm but the majority of the rest of the burger were ice cold. Such a waste of almost $40 for two completely inedible sandwiches. read more

After traveling all day, we were so hungry and this place looked good, seemed quick, and was a decent price point compared to the other options. What a waste of money and perfectly good taste buds. Almost all of the options are deep fried. The portions are tiny. The pretzel bites were rock hard. This was snack food at best and after $75 for two puff pastry concoctions, rock hard pretzel bites, and five skinny mozzarella sticks we left and went somewhere else for real food. Also BUYER BEWARE they request a gratuity and we could not find a way around it on the required kiosk ordering, so we tipped for absolutely NO ONE to help, greet or even acknowledge us. I cannot stress enough what a joke this whole experience was. Don't waste your money. read more

Staying at Park MGM and how close this is to the guest elevators made it a no brainer of eventually grabbing a bite to eat here. Their hours allow it for to be anything from breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or later night bite. We ended up here as the start of our day for breakfast, set up like a food truck you order from the truck window and then get a buzzer waiting for your food to be made. Some seating is available right next to the truck if you want to enjoy it there. I ended up getting their breakfast burrito, that had arguably a unique taste for a breakfast burrito. The mojo pork was well seasoned and cooked well. My wife got their sausage egg and cheese that came on an English muffin. She was happy with it we both would get our items again! Neither of us saw the movie this truck was inspired by but fans of the film Chef have another reason to stop here. Reasonably priced food that we found to be tasty at a well themed spot. read more

I would eat here again if I had a longer stay in Vegas. This food truck is inside the Park MGM hotel and has a cute little seating area. The menu has a great variety of options and affordable prices that are rare to find on the Strip. These $12 mojo chicken tacos were way better than the $40 pizza I had at Eataly. The two tacos were hefty and great value. The corn tortillas were excellent and the flavor was great. There may have been a little too much salsa for my liking but overall they were solid tacos. Messy, but worth it. read more

Late night quick bite. Had the grilled cheese and the order of churros. We didn't use the kiosk to order. There was no line so we gave our order to a very nice lady named Cecilia. We waited and ate next to the food truck where tables were conveniently located. The tables could have been cleaner but I won't ding the place for that. People need to bus their own trash!! Anyways, the grilled cheese was DEELISH! and the churros perfectly hit the sweet spot! Sorry I forgot to take pictures. read more

I can't speak on the entrees, but I can speak on a dessert. We got churros from here as a late night treat. Conveniently located near the lobby of Park MGM, this cool lil food truck exists. They got cuban sandos and stuff. We only came for one thing and that was dessert. They delivered on this big time. We got freshly fried churros. I've never had churros as juicy and as fresh as these were. They were little mini ones that came with a dipping sauce, which tasted like maple syrup or something. I don't know but seriously you need to try their churros. They're to die for. read more

The Chef Truck - Cubano ..wish it was bigger. - Food Trucks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

There is a food truck located near the foyer to the three banks of elevators to the rooms and close to the lobby. You must pass by it to get to the casino. It offers sandwiches, including Cubano, grilled cheese, cheesesteak, and a selection of canned drinks. We ate there after the Bruno Mars concert because it, and Side Betty Grill, where the only venues open at 11:30pm. We shared a grilled cheese sandwich ($12), and I had a can of coffee ($8) and my tablemate a bottle of water ($5). The sandwich tasted good, but I suffered a stomach ailment the next day. I attributed it to the canned coffee as it contained milk and I'm lactose-intolerant. Note to self: read the labels carefully. Rating: 3, as it wasn't worth $32.09. There are a couple of other dining options in the Park MGM, Primrose, and Eataly to name two. The lines to Primrose precluded me from trying to have breakfast there. Eataly, an Italian-themed food court, with one exception, was only open for lunch and dinner. There was an Italian coffee / pastry venue, La Pasticceria, but the lines were too long for me. There was one other place, located on the exterior of the Park, called The Crack Shack. I never made it there but wanted to as it featured fried chicken. read more

The Chef Truck is a phenomenal stop if you're looking for something to soak up all the alcohol. Or if you're in need of a snack. I was the latter. I needed a noncommittal pre-dinner snack. I settled for the pork medianoche sandwich ($17). It's stacked with roasted mojo pork, ham, cheese, pickle, mustard + salsa verde sandwiched in a torta bun. Ngl, my torta was burnt. Disappointing, but not a total loss. The sandwich is tightly packed so each bite has a consistent meat to bread ratio. The pickle, mustard and salsa verde added a layer of acidity and tang to the sandwich. Delish. I do wish that the bread wasn't burnt because I love that unexpected sweetness from the bread. Honestly, the Chef Truck is the most ideal place to fuel up. Whether it's food or drinks - Chef's Truck is worth a visit. read more

We were staying at the Nomad and I had heard about the Food Truck (actually saw it last time we were staying here), so decided to finally make a long strenuous trip to the lobby in order to try it out. I threw all caution to the wind and ordered the pretzel bites, churros, and guava pastelito. It was around 25 bucks for everything. Not bad, especially for being on the strip inside a hotel. When I got the food and tried it out in our room, I could see why the price was set relatively low. Pretzel bites were hard and unappetizing, tasted like plain bread deep fried and left out for hours. The cheese dipping sauce was good though. The guava pastelito was too oily and not enough fruit flavor was had. I did like the churros, which are pretty hard to mess up. The caramel sauce that accompanied them was good also. Overall it was an ok experience. I might try them again (the sandwiches) if I was staying at the hotel, but definitely wouldn't go out of my way to do so. read more

What would Chef Casper do? I ordered their Chef Truck Cubano, and it was disappointing. It came with tofu, eggplant, portobello mushroom, cheese, pickles, salsa verde, and mustard in a butter roll. The salsa verde, mustard, and pickles were the only flavors in the sandwich, and they weren't enough to save it. The tofu, eggplant, and mushroom added texture without taste. Their mozzarella cheese croquettes were also underwhelming. They came with a green sauce that may have been their salsa verde. The flavor was flat. My Fiancé had their Pork Medianoche, and that was OK, too. It was missing something, though, and we can't figure out what. The service was excellent, which made giving this review more challenging. There was plenty of seating. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our meal. We love the movie but will pass on the truck. read more

I've been waiting a long time to try this place since it opened up but as a local there's little reason I ever really want to visit the strip. Concerts are about the only thing that draws me out. Anyway... Food is excellent; exactly what I would expect from the mind of Roy Choi. My wife had the hamburger pastry and I had the Cubano. She enjoyed what she had. I liked what I had but despite the super melted cheese and being hot to the touch, the pork in the center was cold. Not ice cold but prepped in advance and kept on the cold line cold. I guess the heat press just needed a few more minutes to make it all the way through. Something to look out for especially when they weren't busy enough to have to rush the meal. read more

It's alright, I honestly didn't know it was related to a movie or TV show. The Chef Truck came up on my IG feed and the Cubano caught my eye. I love a good Cubano. I had walked passed it a few times during my Vegas stay, usually it was closed but that is based my hours of adventure when near that part of the strip. My friend and I stopped by before our show over at the NoMad Libary. The Chef Truck is located in the hallway near the "back" of the casino, if you consider the Strip the front. There are a few shops and a Starbucks in the hallway as this is the mail aisle that moves traffic from the gaming floor to the rest of the casino (lobby and pool). Not being very peckish I ordered the corn dog bites with a mustard dipping sauce and eventually got a green apple slushie. I found the corn dog bites average and the mustard sauce ok. I personally thought Ive had better elsewhere. The slushie is what is and tasted pleasant. I haven't written off the experience yet, next time I visit I would still like to try the Cubano and hopefully update my review. read more

By far the worst grilled cheese Ive ever had! The grill was definitely not hot enough. The bread was soggy and oily. The texture was all wrong. Greasy in the worst way. Cheese was lack lustre. Needed more flavour. Carl Casper would never have made or served this meal. The tostones had similar issues very greasy but not crispy. Needs to be cooked at higher heat. Were these from frozen?! Hella dry and no salt added. Bland and bad; I know plantains, I was raised on them. Please don't call these things tostones. I literally couldn't finish either and i was hungry AF.
