This is what food trucks are all about! The menu offers a fusion of American and Korean bbq goods. My co-workers and I walked over for lunch on Miracle Mile and this truck immediately caught our attention. I ordered a mini Fat Queso (6 inches vs 12), which was very fulfilling! Slightly on the greasier side but the braised bulgogi is so darn good. The ideal quesadilla food truck - don't skip it! The avocado fries are definitely on my radar for next time. Pro-tip: make it extra crispy for a cheesy layer on the outside of the tortilla. read more

The Fat Queso - The (mini) Fat Queso - Food Trucks Near Me

I bought the big southern. Overall, it was fine, but I was expecting way more cheese since the menu description lists three types of cheese. I am also very much a fan of cheese. A little too much sometimes. But, alas, the mac & cheese was more mac than cheese. It tasted a bit dry too. The big southern seemed like it was more geared toward meat lovers, because there was definitely a surplus of pulled pork. read more

The Fat Queso - Food Trucks Near Me

This food truck has exciting ingredients and the right attitude, but the Fat Queso falls short with the execution. The 8-hr braised Fat Queso caught my attention (after all, it is also the name of the truck) and it looked and smelled great! A couple of bites in however, I found it difficult to find my reaction. There is a lot activity going on with the flavor which was more distracting than pleasing. The Fat Queso wasn't bad but it was disappointing because I couldn't find the appreciation for the brisket, which was what I was looking for. The Fat Shrimp, however, is a different story. The insides are filled with large shrimps and has a much more balanced overall flavor, making it a very delicious quesadilla! The Fat Queso deserve a better rating and I want to rave about them, but I can't. They have potential and I hope their business continues on a successful path but I'll be holding my recommendations for now. read more

The Fat Queso - The large shrimps inside the Fat Shrimp steals the spotlight from the Fat Queso! - Food Trucks Near Me

Pretty good although not as cheesy or gooey as I was expecting it to be. I couldn't decide what I wanted so my coworker friend offered to split multiple dishes with me so that I could try a couple different items! We got the 6" Big Southern, 6" Big Shrimp, and The Dirty Fries with miso marinated chicken. My favorite of the day was definitely The Big Southern. It stars mac and cheese, bbq pulled pork, crispy fried onion straws, and bbq sauce. One piece of these bad boys is enough to make you feel satisfied because they're pretty hefty and artery-clogging. I really liked it though because it doesn't taste as oily or heavy as I'm sure it is. The Big Shrimp was good too--I liked the slaw in it, but the shrimp pieces just weren't as big or juicy as I was anticipating. The fries were also just okay... Maybe it was just the chicken that didn't go well with the fries, but I don't know if I would order that again. Maybe I would but I would definitely recommend it with either pork or beef instead. And actually, all the dishes just need a lot more cheese!! Yummm.. Service was friendly. I'm looking forward to trying The Big Queso and The Southern Vegan the next time around! read more

Dropped by this food truck last week (and have had them previously) and was super happy with their signature "Fat Queso" as well as their dirty corn (elote). Service is great! Food comes out quickly! I'll definitely eat here again (when I find them) read more

Vegan Mac and cheese was surprisingly very good. I had the opportunity to try their food when enjoying a brew at Timeless Pints in Long Beach. Food came out in a timely manner and was fair priced. I also got to try the fried avocado and it was REALLY tasty . The portions were also a little more than I expected which made me and my buddies pretty happy. If I see this food truck again I'll definitely go out of my way to order the fried avocado again. read more

A very efficient food truck with a lot of interesting food choices. My friend got the avocado fries and loved it. I got some dirty fries as well, and the portion was huge, definitely a meal in itself and probably will have leftovers as well. read more

This food truck comes at you with not one, but several vegan options. Considering its specialty is utterly oozing cheesiness, I was impressed! It gets real old real fast checking out a menu and seeing one salad as your sole option. The Fat Queso really brings it! I had the Fat Vegan, a huge 12" quesadilla cooked to the perfect texture combo of soft and satisfyingly crisp, stuffed with beer-battered avocado fries, black bean-mango salsa, chipotle aioli, and absolutely dripping with cheese. As someone who mostly eats whole foods and avoids the "Junk Food Vegan" trap of a processed food lifestyle, I was all about this meal's ingredients, yet also super satisfied that it checked off the pure comfort food box. If you're debating, it's worth the price tag simply due to how delicious it is, but also because it's massive enough to keep you full for hours. I'm still drooling thinking about it. Stoked to see this truck taking on the challenge of bringing unique vegan options and experimenting with exceptional flavors, in a world where we expect more now. They know what they're doing! read more

I had already eaten so didn't get a chance to try a quesadilla. Ordered the Avocado Fries to share and thought they were decent. The batter was a bit bland but the Garlic Chipotle Aioli was delicious. Fries were decent with the aioli. Just wish they packed a bit more flavor into the batter. read more

The big southern quesadilla is just what the doctor ordered in terms of cheat meals. Whoever came up with this spectacular combo of pulled pork and Mac n cheese- I could really just kiss you. The portions make the $14 price worth it. It's so filling; it took me 3 different meals over two whole days to finish. The only thing keeping me from leaving 5stars is the expectation I had of it being extremely cheesey since it's, well, a QUESAdilla, and queso is in the very trucks name, but the cheese in my dish was a bit underwhelming. I was, however, in the middle of an extremely long line of hungry cheese-lovers though, so perhaps they just ran out? Regardless, the rest of the jam-packed flavor was enough to have me returning veryyyy soon! read more

The Fat Queso - The big southern - Food Trucks Near Me

What a QUESADILLA! To call The Big Southern just a quesadilla would be an understatement. Stuffed with homemade Mac and cheese and slow cooked BBQ pulled pork, this was probably the single greatest quesadilla I have ever eaten! Oh and don't even get me started with their sides. We ordered some of the avocado fries, Dirty Cup of corn and crispy taro lime chips. All of them exceeded expectations. The wifey was not too sure about the avocado fries but quickly became a fan. Top the whole experience off with the co-owner that works out front and takes everyone order from a handheld device, actually giving a damn about service. Rarely have I ever received this level of service, let alone from a food truck. When we are in LA, you can find us where ever The Fat Queso food truck will be. read more

I'm super digging The Fat Queso! My hubs and I keep running into them for all the right reasons. We've tried each of the quesadillas at this point and like that there's the 6" option so we can get a few to share. My favorite hands down is the Miso Cheesy, the marinade on the chicken combined with the cheeses was so good!! We also love the dirty fries and dirty cup...we like to pour the dirty cup on the fries...you're welcome ;) They're FRIENDLY and efficient and hold their own in the food truck world. Looking forward to our next Fat Queso encounter! read more

Had these guys at my bar in Long Beach, Muldoons Saloon. They came correct with their avocado fries. I ate one of their vegan options and it definitely impressed me because people take me to vegan restaurants and you have to pretend it was delicious so they will still be your friends... this wasn't that place... I could destroy their vegan quesadillas over and over again... with no evidence because it actually tastes good. I will introduce my vegan friends to this truck so I don't have to cry inside when we eat vegan cuisine. Nice dudes also. read more

I ordered the namesake, The Fat Queso, with light cheese, and every bite was so flavorful. The brisket was tender and juicy, the radish and carrots paired really well with the meat, and the garlic aoili sauce was ah-mazing. The portion size was good for the price, but still on the higher end ($15). But that is typical food truck pricing. Because of the brisket sauce, you definitely cannot eat it like a quesadilla, with your hands. Be prepared to use a knife and fork...otherwise, come prepared with plenty of hand-wipes. Or just lick the sauce off your fingers to not waste a drop of it. read more

Went here on a whim because it was our first time at First Fridays on Abbott Kinney and the pictures from their insta looked good. And boy were we happy with our decision. There wasn't a line to order at the time, which was around 8:30pm. We ordered and it took about 20 minutes to get our one quesadilla. Which is a bit long, but the guy outside was keeping the kitchen accountable and telling them how long we've been waiting for. Once we got our food, we were so excited to eat because it was beautifully displayed and looked so yummy! And indeed it was! The Mac n cheese was perfectly cheesy, the meat was tender and plenty, and the tortilla was extra crispy. I was surprised that the tortilla wasn't actually that greasy! I was afraid the inside was gonna soak through and make everything gross, but it didn't! Might be because we ate it super quick but the tortilla had some sort of super power and stayed crispy. It was a bit on the pricier side, but worth! You'll definitely want a full sized quesadilla if you're eating by yourself, but I suggest to share so you can taste what the other trucks have to offer! read more

The only thing I'm pissed about is this truck is parked next to my apartment every Thursday. Helllooooo winter weight! Im not normally a food truck kind of girl but ever since I tried this truck 4 weeks ago I make it a point to see Romel every week! The avocado fries are amazing and his vegan Mac and cheese quesadilla is incredible! I'm not vegan but my friend is so I tried hers and it's probably one of the top Mac in cheeses I've ever had (I'd never be able to tell it's vegan). Plus seeing his smiling face always brightens my night . I highly recommend this truck! Soooo yummy!! read more

I love Fat Queso! This week, the Fat Queso truck came to the Burbank street fair, where I ordered the amazing Fat Shrimp quesadilla. That's garlic-pepper marinated shrimp, red cabbage, cilantro, lime slaw, and Monterey Jack & sharp cheddar with avocado aioli. And yes, those are cranberries giving it a hint of tartness. So tasty--and reasonably priced! The Southern Vegan quesadilla was also a wonderful surprise: macaroni and three cheeses, BBQ oyster mushrooms (there's also a meat-eater's version) and a tangy, home-made BBQ sauce. The garlic fries (lots of garlic!) and tarot chips were everything I hoped they would be. This is food you tell your friends about. Fat Queso! read more

The Southern Vegan Vegan baked Mac & Cheese made with vegan mozzarella, vegan cheddar, vegan ricotta cheese. Filled with smoked BBQ pulled king oyster mushrooms and crispy onion straws. Drizzled with sweet, spicy, tangy house-made vegan BBQ sauce. (Vegan friendly tortillas) Was sooooooooo yummy!!b It is now my NEW COMFORT FOOD!!! Exquisite flavor HUGE THUMBS UP!!!! read more

Pretty decent. I had the Fat Queso quesadilla. I'd be happy to try another option next time they roll around.

The people were really rude to me and my family i felt rushed and recieved terrible customer service. On top of everything the food was terrible and there was a fly. In my food. I'm convinced it was on purpose. I dont recommend this truck at all. Everything about it was unorganized and terrible!!! Never again! read more

The Fat Queso is far from what it used to last time I showed up I expected to see mike co-owner/ chef was told he took the day off which I found surprising, but oh well came to get some food none the less spent over 80 bucks in food for my buddy's shook the fact I spent that much cause I knew quality was being served but that wasn't the case nothing tasted like what I knew it to be... Come to find out mike was snaked out of The Fat Queso by his partner once they were established.. such a bummer The Fat Queso was awesome when mike ran the show it got me trying things I wouldn't normally try.. read more

Thank you for being a part of our monthly food truck night here on Magnolia Blvd. You guys are doing an amazing job!! Great attitude and energy to go with great food! I was sO ecstatic to see vegan options on your menu!! It's not the easiest thing to find vegan options from food trucks! The southern Vegan was delicious!! The vegan mac n cheese inside was creamy and delicious! It's hard to find good vegan mac. Usually tastes weird. The avocado fries and sweet potato fries were delicious too and to go with it delicious aioli sauce! Hope to see you again at our next food truck night!! read more

Mini Fat Queso, Dirty Cup and a can of coke was $17.40. Hmmmmmmm.... The fat queso was nice. A bit overwhelming, but the brisket was lovely and it had a bahn mi flavor. It was refreshing and i'd eat it again. The dirty cup. I really really wanted to like this! I think it would have been better with more corn and less soup. I was hoping for a wonderful fresh corny goodness but it was a soupy mess. I took 5 bites and couldn't put another spoonful in my mouth. The consistency was creepy. Ok just over $17 for lunch? Never again. read more

The Fat Queso food truck came to our food truck night at The Summit! We had the Dirty fries with beef and Avocado fries--both were delicious! I love that they have options for everyone including vegan options. There's something for adults and kids. My son had the regular shoestring French fries and he loved them. Wishing you much success! read more

I had the Fat Shrimp, avocado fries and garlic parmesan fries! It was soooooo gooood! Its so filling too! I must say i didnt know how the avocado fries was gonna taste like.. but i was so surprised. IT IS AMAZING read more

The Fat Queso has the BEST quesadillas! Their Fat Shrimp is awesome! They pay attention to details and are very professional! Now, there is one disgruntled employee that is sending his little friends to make DEFAMATORY reviews and make FALSE accusations here and they should be taken as a grain of salt! They change their profile pictures but, the pictures have been saved and reported. Be careful guys if you are reading this ;)! If you see Fat Queso, give them a taste and you will see how amazing they are! read more

This truck is simply amazing man I got the southern cut queso so and it's a so fucken nice man I fell in love with it with my first bite read more

Wasn't wowed by it. Had the fat queso which is suppose to be bulgogi marinated brisket, but didn't quite taste the bulgogi flavor, it was a bit bland. The garlic parmesan fries were also under seasoned. Not sure if the freezing cold 48* temp at night had anything to do with it so will reserve judgment and give it an average 3 stars rather then a subpar 2. read more

Diarrhea waiting to happen. Tried their quesadilla and avocado fries. Way too overpriced for some finger foods. Rude ass people not worth it. Better tasting food trucks out there. Never again!! read more

This is a quesadilla on STEROIDS. I loved it!!. There are 2 sizes and the large is pricey but enough for 2 people. I had the shrimp quesadilla and it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth. The truck sits outside a brewery in Frogtown and i am just sorry that it took me so long to try it. It is the food that you didn't know you wanted while you are happily drinking great beer. Look...if you are in doubt drive over and try this food truck yourself. I was already picturing my next order. I want to try everything else on the menu. I have to also say the service was really on point as well. YUM read more

After reading all of these reviews, I'm extra disappointed! This looks like a great place. I was at Ten Mile Brewing testing out some beers and was thinking about what I'd have for dinner, checking out the food truck there tonight, The Fat Queso. As I finished up my beer, the food truck drove away! It was only 5:30! It seems like a bad business practice to drive away from a place that advertised this truck being there. Unprofessionalism trickles into other areas of business, so I'm not sure I'd try this food truck if I came across it in another venue. read more

15$ quesadillas. Was not worth it. Yeah they have dressings and the presentation I's nice , but there's is better food around the city.

Delicious,Delicious,Delicious !!! My husband and I got the fat queso quesadilla and it was Amazing, every bit was full of flavor. Definitely following this truck and I will definitely get my own next time. Customer service was great. Romel and his team are phenomenal! Keeping making it happen read more

I really cannot with how freaking delicious everything (vegan for me, nonvegan for the bf) on the menu is. The mac n cheese in the southern vegan is some of the best I've had and the avocado fries are top notch. Definitely one of my favorite food trucks to drive 30 minutes for. Plus, the owner is a super nice guy too! read more

Really great food and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food you are getting differently coming back for more

I've been following their truck on Instagram dyinggggg to get the chance to finally try something from the menu and finally got to try the "dirty cup" at grub fest in granada hills. 10/10!!!!!! I can't wait to try the quesadillas next I've heard only good things about everything on the menu!!!! read more
