No issues finding parking, no lack of stores that I prefer to see in a mall and a good variety of department stores to choose from. I'm not a food court kind of girl but it's always packed when I pass by.

Also the service was fast and great by the gentleman who ran it. HOWEVER Crazy Cravings on the other hand took forever to get me my food. Not only did they take a long time, they also charge an arm and a leg for a birria quesadilla & a strawberry lemonade. I paid $33 for food that wasn't even good and a small portion. And a lemonade that was mainly ice. Porky's is a great environment and in a nice area and I will be returning at some point. But most Definitely not going to be going to "Crazy Cravings" ever again and they should remove and replace it with something better.

Food trucks galore and drinks and food are tasteful. Never really got an all-in-one experience like this til Porky's now. Came on a Sunday, solo. Got a top shelf margarita and was a 15.00 cost, and from a food truck outside, Soul Goode, a Chicago-Style, wings and fries. Or you may have fried okra instead like myself. If you love fried wings and fries, Soul Goode is the truck here. Overall experience was better than expected, and would come again, afternoon time for a quick bite and drinks again. Good place if you wanna avoid those brunch spots on the weekend or that downtown traffic hussle and bussle. Good vibes, and family-friendly place. Locals come here from Atascocita/Humble/Kingwood more so. Parking can be challenging, but I guess it depends on the time and day coming. Bathroom is kept up by workers, and seating area is maintained often. I heard Friday is the best day, with line dancing, karaoke, more of a crowd, and music.

Our experience was extremely disappointing, largely because of the service. From the moment we…read morearrived, the hostess, Brooklyn, seemed irritated. When we politely asked if we could switch tables, she rolled her eyes, walked away without saying anything, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Unfortunately, our server, Filiberto, was no better. Throughout the meal, he repeatedly forgot basic items like our water, tortillas, and napkins--even after we reminded him more than once. For most of the meal, he was nowhere to be found, leaving us waiting for long periods whenever we needed anything. Good food can make up for a lot, but poor service from both the hostess and our waiter completely overshadowed the experience. We left feeling unwelcome and frustrated. Hopefully management addresses these issues, because no customer should be treated this way. Honestly, the hostess Brooklyn was the biggest disappointment. She walked everyone to their tables with a glare the entire evening and just looked miserable. She shouldn't be a hostess!

The beef empanadas were delicious and the addition of a light sprinkling of powdered sugar was inspired. Added a whole other profile to the fried goodness. The causa was a new item for me. Think tuna salad and mashed potato casserole served cold, but as a light and refreshing dish, with some crema on top. This would be a perfect dish for any backyard mixer or bbq. The plantains were perfectly fried, soft and sweet and savory and crispy.

When I found this food truck on Yelp with a perfect 5-star average, I knew I wanted to get here soon. After several weekends in a row of not making my way over, I finally got a chance to experience it. The verdict: it definitely hit the spot, but I do think I've had a bit better. The meat was seasoned well and the flavors were on point, but I think the super thick cut fries is what I didn't love. They were a bit much - I'd prefer a more standard size fry as the thick ones are a bit dry in the middle. But I definitely want to come back and try the paella sometime and will be sure to do so!
