    Staff is amazing and the gators are so yummy! Tastes like chicken. You should try! The staff is awesome. They entertained my joke which was cool. I asked if they had freshly cut gator, I mean the fresher the catch the better. Anyway nice food truck! It doesn't disappoint.

    Wanted to support someone local while getting a small bite for lunch. Found that Gator Grill was just a few minutes from my house in Weston. Knowing it's at Sawgrass Rec Park with all of the airboat hauling tourists on joyride through the swamp, I expected things to be priced a bit higher then a basic lunch. Just wanted something new. Had the Mahi sandwich which was exceptionally fresh. I was disappointed with the amount of gator in an order, but it was flavorful. The BBQ tots were a very big let down. Something about them just threw me off. The birds are the biggest problem. They are very bold and some will attempt to land next to you to steal your food. Kind of unsanitary with them all over the tables. Overall was a nice little lunch.

    Went off the beaten path just to eat at this food truck. Upon arrival we enjoyed the peacocks at the airboat place. Found the food truck just to be told it was open for private group only. Sure would have been nice to know this before we jumped off the highway wanting to try their fish sandwich. Very disappointing.

    If you are ever in west Broward for lunch I highly recommend sitting down and enjoying this outdoor lunch and food truck with polite/fast service. The gator bites are seasoned perfectly, highly recommended them! Enjoy the fresh air, Everglades scenery and take an airboat ride if you desire.

    This is way beyond being a hidden gem. You have to go to Sawgrass Recreation and go past the main building and down the hill to the right. At the bottom you'll see the picnic area with two food trucks. I can't comment on the coffee and pastry truck because it was closed. The other truck is the Gator Grill. What a treasure! Try the Mahi fish tacos. Each is made with a grilled fillet, slaw and special sauce. I don't know what's in the sauce but they also had bottled hot sauce that was awesome! Unless you don't like hot sauce, in which case it was still awesome but you missed out. Very friendly staff in a fun atmosphere made this a really enjoyable experience.

    Interesting and simple service for a reasonable price. 10-11$ You get to try gator tacos or gator meat bites. Nothing too special just a reliable service to eat alligator meat. Condiments are typical salt and pepper and some super spicy hot sauce. I think habanero? Friendly cook.

    Mahi fish tacos. Yum!

    The Mahi fish tacos are VERY good and super fresh tasting. The gator bites are tempting to order because it's something different, but honestly they tasted like dry pork so I'd stay away from them. I've heard that the burgers are hand-made and very good but we didn't try those. If you're short on time, you may need to skip this place because it took 40 minutes for us to place our order and then get our food. (The line was about 10 people long when we got into it). I realize that food trucks usually don't have many people cooking, but we needed something fast after our tour and this was anything but fast! I had to take off a star because of the long wait: otherwise it would have gotten a 4-star rating.

    Gator bites and mahi-mahi tacos

    Wonderful gator, bite and mahi-mahi tacos. Beware of the birds one landed on my hand. Service was quick and the picnic bench seating is casual. The grill is within the salt Hill recreation area, which we did not explore, but looks very interesting.

    Best Gator we have Ever had!! Loved!

    Burger tastes like a backyard Burger, fires were crispy, the alligator bites were ok. It's a good stop if you're starving.

    This place was so delicious!! Although we may have been extra hungry due to our drive across the Everglades. It also has a beautiful view.

    Maria's Tacos y Más - Nachos with Chorizo & Steak -- "The Food Truck That Had No Business Being…read moreThis Good" I only review nachos. One plate, one standard. And this one is at a taco truck in the Exxon station at Beracasa Way and Palmetto. Don't let the address fool you. I'll be honest. I don't really eat at food trucks. Novelty stops, not places you expect to outcook a restaurant. Then I went through the internet's top-ten nacho lists, discovered the internet and I have very different standards, and the quest demanded a wider net. Maria's was on the list. I pulled in with zero expectation of being impressed. I was impressed. The menu is clean -- homemade tortilla chips, melted cheese, pico, pickled jalapeños, avocado crema, cotija, cilantro, onion. Every single ingredient belongs on a nacho. No mystery feta hidden in the queso. Julio, who works the truck, told me to get the chorizo AND steak. Julio was right. Write that down. The chips are homemade and held up all the way to the bottom, zero soggy chips, including the layer under the refried beans, which is more than nachos twice this price have managed. The cheese (likely Oaxaca) had a proper melt. Both proteins were seasoned and cooked correctly, chorizo bringing smoke and spice, steak bringing substance. And the jalapeños had actual heat that built as I ate, which in this series is cause for celebration. I've eaten too many decorative circles that contributed nothing. The Fork Rule got violated, but for the first time in the series, by enthusiasm, not failure. The plate looked so good coming out of that truck that waiting wasn't an option. The fork was a choice, not a rescue. It came out hot and fast -- 3.5 minutes, the quickest plate I've clocked. It was warm by the time I ate it, but that's on me: there's nowhere to sit at the truck, so I drove 15 minutes home first. The kitchen did its job. My commute undid it. Not a mark against them. 9/10 -- The Food Truck That Had No Business Being This Good. I finished every chip. From a gas station. The quest is full of surprises. -- Florida Nacho Man.

    Maria's Tacos Y Mas is my go-to spot for tacos and burritos, and I've been coming here at least…read moretwice a week for a while now. The barbacoa is my personal favorite, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of the proteins--the chicken, steak, al pastor, and shrimp are all excellent. What really sets this place apart are the sauces. Julio, the owner and head chef, makes them all from scratch. The verde sauce is fresh, flavorful, and mild, while the hot sauce has the perfect balance of heat and flavor. The portions are consistently generous, and you can tell they take pride in every order. Don't let the food truck fool you--this is restaurant-quality food made by people who genuinely care about what they serve. In all the times I've eaten here, I've never had an order made incorrectly or a meal that wasn't excellent. Great food, great people, and consistently one of the best taco spots around. Highly recommend!

    Great place to stop for a quick bite on a beach day or when you're not feeling up for a full meal…read more Sandwiches are large and taste great! Plenty of customization options. A counter seat is hit or miss but nice to have available instead of only being a walk up window. Skip the smoothies. They're watery and thus not very filling or flavorful. You're better off getting a sandwich (again, as this was my 2nd visit) or going somewhere else for a smoothie.

    Just one block away from South Beach on 14th Street, this place is a very popular fast food spot…read more Since South Beach restaurants are either expensive (20% gratuity even for a party of two) or extremely crowded, we walked one block inland and found this place. From a distance, it looks like a food truck, but it's actually a full setup designed to look that way. Even in the scorching heat, there was a line--but it moved quickly. Their menu has everything. Think of it as a Subway style setup, but with smoothies, tropical ingredients, and lots of fresh options. Now the main part...We ordered- Chicken Mix Baguette Tuna Baguette Am I the only one who found it just okay? At Subway, at least they toast the bread for a bit. Here, I genuinely struggled with the hard bread--it was tough to chew. Also, the meats were cold, which I'm not used to. I knew that beforehand, but still wanted to try this hyped spot. They have about 5-7 bar style stools for seating, but in the humidity, it's not the most comfortable experience. Freshness (smoothies & ingredients): 5/5 Overall taste & experience: 3/5 Or maybe we're just spoiled by the big fast food chains?
