The food is SO great but the wait is unbearable. This is the second year in a row that I've visited this food truck at the Templeton 4th of July celebration and had to wait 40+ minutes just to order with less than 12 people ahead of me in line. If they could be as efficient as their food is good then they would be 5 star all the way. read more

I had the privilege of trying out The Hurricane Kitchen for the first time yesterday at the Smart & Final parking lot. First of all, the owner of this food truck is such a kind and humble person. He mentioned feeding the staff of Smart & Final which is such a kind thing to do in the midst of this crazy crisis we are in. Secondly, the food. THE FOOD. We got the lamb burger and not only were the portions generous, the burger was SO tasty and the "chips" were life changing. Couldn't recommend this food truck enough! read more

Very rude staff. Tried to order from this truck after waiting in line and was rudely turned away because "they had just taken a big order". I told them I was happy to wait for my food, but please don't turn me away and make me wait in line to order again. They rudely shooed me away, but were back serving other customers 5min later. Why make this the customer's problem?? Don't waste your time. read more

Completely unprofessional and terrible. Richard didn't show up and sent his snow cone lady instead to our daughter's wedding. She called the night before saying that Richard had another gig in Vegas and that she would be taking over our event. She said she couldn't find dishes and flatware and wanted to use paper and plastic instead. She was supposed to show up to cater our wedding at 3 pm and didn't show until 5 pm. During the ceremony all I could think about was how I was going to feed 90 people-- our bartenders were ready to rush to go pick up pizza and inandout burgers. The snow cone lady showed up eventually in her actual snow cone trailer with cold food-- dinner service was at 6 pm! The salmon tasted like it was old (and smelly) and I had two guests tell me the chicken was "floppy". Meanwhile, my daughter's bridesmaids set out to find flatware and dishes (scouring thrift stores etc) so that we wouldn't have to use plastic and paper. Instead of hanging out and getting ready we were scrambling for shit ON THE DAY OF THE F'ING WEDDING! The first thing the snowcone lady said to me was "I found the dishes and flatware!" but she never bothered to call me-- she claims she texted me but that was a total lie. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. I have been trying to get in touch with Richard and he has ignored me for 3 weeks but of course cashed our check. When I threatened (this) terrible review he got right back to me and said that he has had health problems. For God's sake Richard. I am expecting a least half of my money back and if I don't receive it I will hire an attorney. read more

Absolutely appalling. DO NOT BOOK FOR CATERING EVENTS *UNRELIABLE* NOT THE SAME QUALITY AS FOOD TRUCK. Not only did Richard not show up the day of the wedding without communication, but his replacement was a disaster! Imagine an ice cold piece of mediocre salmon smothered in cheap BBQ sauce. Is that supposed to be barbecued salmon? I literally had people with full plates of food begging for my corn bread since their dinner was inedible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that when you sign a contract with a business, that business would be the one expected to preform those services? Instead Richard went to Vegas for another event. We got a call the day of the wedding by the lady taking over who said that the catering company couldn't obtain the plates needed for the event, so as bridesmaids we were busy running around town looking for plates when we should have been enjoying the day with the bride. The replacement catering service showed up 2 hours late, so the poor brides mother was worried about feeding everyone the entire ceremony. Once we finally got the food, it was ice cold fresh from serving. I have worked many catering events both as staff and as management of dessert and never have I ever seen a wedding with such a careless catering service. The brides nieces and nephews were crying and begging for a snow cone from the ugly truck parked right next to the food table (that had no snow cones) All in all the bitter taste in my mouth could have been transformed with basic business ethics and a simple apology to the bride, but instead he avoided phone calls then finally responded with some very unprofessional text messages to the mother of the bride. It is clear he has no intention of taking responsibility for his poor actions during such a special time in my best friends life. I would hate to see anyone else go through this stressful process for such a big (and expensive!!!) day. read more

I am the operations director for the event that took place on 6/20/21 that has been reviewed by others on this site, and I am the person who was in touch with Richard at The Hurricane Kitchen. Initially when this vendor came on board, I was warned by the first person I told that The Hurricane Kitchen was going to be our Sunday food truck vendor. The person warning me said they've experienced a no-show from them in the past. In the weeks leading up to the event, I had one conversation with Richard (which was positive), so I trusted that we were a GO for our event. The week of our event, I tried to contact Richard daily to check in. He finally called me back at around 8:00 pm on Saturday, the night before the event. Again, we had a positive conversation, and he agreed to be at the venue by 3:00 pm to set up prior to doors opening at 4:00. At 4:10 pm, I began contacting Richard to get an updated ETA since I had not heard anything and he was now over more than one hour late. I called and left two voicemails and sent three text messages requesting an update. I also reached out to another food truck vendor who put me in touch with Richard in the first place to see if he had heard anything, and he responded quickly, letting me know he had not heard from Richard either. I did not receive any communication from Richard until 4:30 pm when he told me he was with a mechanic. In the same message, he told me that he texted me and the other food truck vendor to let us know, and he apologized if it "didn't come through." When I asked if he was going to be there, he told me he would know something in the next 15 minutes. Then at 4:48 pm, he told me the mechanic said they are "dead until business tomorrow." It is understandable that mechanical issues may arise, however the consistent lack of communication is unacceptable for anyone doing this kind of business. I have my doubts about the entire situation, especially about the text Richard says he sent just didn't come through. Regardless, I would expect any business owner to pick up the phone and call me as soon as they are aware of ANY potential reason they would not be able to fulfill their commitment, then offer a way to make it right, neither of which Richard did. If you are looking for a reliable food truck vendor, I would encourage you to do your research and look elsewhere. read more

This truck surprised me. My company has different trucks come every day. I have found most to be overpriced and food quality just "ok". Hurricane Kitchen was way better than I expected. The choices are unique. Duck and Salmon on the top of the list. I ordered Duck Confit ($10). The line was pretty short. About 5 people had ordered before I got there. After ordering, it took under 10 min to get my food. Maybe closer to 5-6 minutes. Duck Confit over salad - The duck was very flavorful and fresh. Veggies were piled high with the mixed greens lettuce as opposed to head lettuce. Red, Yellow, Orange peppers, basil, cranberries, carrots... a large array. and portion size was nice. Service - The lady taking the order was friendly and quick. No troubles at all. They also take credit cards. Hope they come back soon! :) read more

Delicious pulled pork sando and potato salad. Great price, smiling service. I will look for your truck again- thank you for a great lunch!

I got the duck confit sandwich. The duck was good, really tender but the sandwich as a whole was just alright. I enjoyed it but I'm not sure I'll go back. The jalapeno coleslaw that came on the side was great. read more

Let me just start off by saying that I have had MANY burgers in my day on this planet. But their grass fed burger is the greatest burger I have ever had. There was SO MUCH FLAVOR! All I did through the whole meal at Creme Caramel's food truck Friday was talk about the burger. And I'm pretty sure that it will also appear in my dreams tonight. My compliments to the chef. Thank you for providing me with the most amazing burger experience ever. read more

YUM! Had the Sriracha chicken and BBQ pork sandwiches. Tried both the jalapeno slaw and side salad, everything was delicious. Didn't know what to expect, was very pleasantly surprised. read more

This review is for catering services for a private event: We hired Hurricane Kitchen to cater an event using their food truck at a local brewery for about 75 people. From the communication before booking to the actual quality and taste of the food served, they deserve 5 stars all of the way. They helped us choose our menu and were clear and helpful in figuring out something that was within our budget. In developing a menu, they also had lots of choices to choose from. At the event they were efficient in serving guests, provided clear signage and most importantly everything tasted delicious. We opted for a menu of 4 sandwiches and several sides with choice of a beverage. I would not hesitate to hire them again! read more

I had the duck confit and bison burger! Both were so delicious! They were both savory, and the salads we got with the meat helped balance everything out. Try it! read more

I tried the Duck Confit. Overall, I enjoyed the sandwich, but there was some type of onionish thingy in there that I did not like at all. Also, the fennel? seeds were pretty overpowering. The jalapeno slaw was delicious. I'd give them another try, but would definitely try something else. read more

Just enjoyed the Sriracha Chicken! Delicious! Definitely a must try. Beware, its got some spice to it!

I loved the food. They were at the business next door to mine and i immediately looked them up. Everything looks good and it's done in a timely manner. I had the BBQ salmon and my friend has the pulled pork. It was delicious. The only thing I didn't like is that the girl that was taking the orders was not very friendly. If it wasn't for that it would have been 5 stars. read more

The Hurricane truck has been at the Eagle Rock Brewery for the last couple of weeks when I went by on the weekend. I had the cajun catfish which was not good. too salty and a little undercooked. later I had the Buffalo burger which was pretty good. The slaw was tasty as well but for $11 I thought it to be a bit over priced. If the food was great I wouldn't complaint about the price. I'd try a different truck if there was one at ERB read more

The entire menu looked amazing. I had the catfish on greens and it was the best meal I've had in a long time, including many restaurants around LA. If you are lucky enough to see this truck, don't miss the opportunity to experience it. read more

This food truck tweeted out they would be at Grand park in LA for lunch on wednesday. I checked their menu online and saw blackened catfish so I was sold. When I ordered at the truck I had an option of a side of either jalapeño slaw or a side salad. Since I love spicy stuff I ordered the slaw. It was pretty spicy and a lot better than normal slaw. The catfish sandwich was pretty good too although the portion was a little small and I wish it was a little spicier. I enjoyed this truck and will probably try again. read more

We just recently had The Hurricane Kitchen cater our wedding and I can't compliment them enough. We received so great comments on the food, even from some of the older guests that were a little suspicious about going the non-traditional route with a food truck. We had the duck confit (which is amazing), crabcake burger, and portobello mushroom sandwich. We got extra compliments from those who got the portobello mushroom sandwich saying it was the best they've had. I agree, not being a huge fan usually, the one served was delicious. We also had passed appetizers and fruit and veggie trays. The mac and cheese was also a big hit. The staff was friendly, the lines moved super quick and overall it was an amazing night. Cindy was great at keeping in touch through the whole process from start to finish and overall a pleasure to work with. I would recommend multiple times if I could :) read more

The most perfect meal outside at Lefondusac winery. The Rabbit sandwich is to die for! Super friendly staff and an all around beautiful experience. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Hurricane Kitchen did a fantastic job at the grand opening of Parrish Family Vineyard in Paso Robles. The food was excellent and the staff hustled always bringing out more and more trays of delicious food. They made our event a huge success! Thank you for all your hard work! read more

Had the tri tip sandwich at Barrelhouse tonight. I'm usually not adventurous with food especially tri tip but I will say I was very impressed with the flavors on their sandwich. Also, the girls in the truck were super nice I appreciate their good customer service. Thanks Hurricane Kitchen read more

Your statement is untrue, I paid you what we agreed on, paid you in full. You tried charging my card without permission, and didn't even have the audacity to say you were in the wrong, I have ALL the emails to prove so! You saw where my wedding was held and tried taking advantage of the money. Your Spreading lies and slander about suits, and that is a way to get yourself in trouble. Your company is a joke. Customers deserve to know how your company really works. read more

My husband and I recently hired Hurricane Kitchen for our rehearsal dinner/meet and greet before our wedding. They catered dinner for a 70 person crowd as well as charcuterie board appetizer. All guests got to choose from 4 sandwich option as well as several salads and everyone was served efficiently. Most importantly, all food was amazing!!! Cindy and Richard were a pleasure to work with and truly helped make this event such a great experience. read more

Ohhhhh man. I was craving in n out (or just a burger in general) but didn't feel like making the drive, and lucky me, my apartment complex happened to have The hurricane Kitchen truck that night. Their special burger that night was the Grass Fed Beef Burger, which I was actually eyeing on the menu before going. IT. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. I literally devoured it. The meet was so moist and tender, and the flavor was... explosion in the mouth. If you are contemplating trying this food truck. DO it. read more

First few times this truck came to our company it was great! I enjoy the pulled pork sandwich. Quality of meat was very good, very tasty, and cooked just right. However this time when I ordered the pull pork sandwich it wasn't the same. I might as well have had two buns with a pile a fat in between. All the meat was super fatty. The amount of fat to meat ratio was terrible. It was like chewing on greasy rubber. On top of that it had the distinct taste of fish which can only mean they cooked it in the same spot as the cooked the fish, or they were cooking the fish and pork at the same time using the same utensils and therefore mixing the favors. A couple of my colleagues had similar experiences today. I don't like to gamble with my lunch so I'm unsure if I'll order here again. Lunchtime is precious and to have spent money and not get to eat isn't a great thing. I will probably wait to see what others say before ordering next time. read more

Really good. Fresh ingredients with good flavor, Catfish sandwich is delicious. And jalapeno slaw has a little kick, but nothing crazy. Good to find a truck that isn't just an expensive burger. Nice touch that it looks like lots of their ingredients are organic too. read more

Not your usual food truck. If you have not tried this place you need to. I'm not usually a food truck fan because of dried out ingredients and lack of flavor but this place is amazing. The bison burger is a must with it being packed with flavor. The duck confit was great also and jalapeño slaw was perfect with both. If you get to try this place I think you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

We hired Cindy and the Hurricane Kitchen for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the food and the service. They made planning to feed 60+ people a breeze. They were able to accommodate all of our guests dietary needs including, gluten free,lactose free, and vegetarian. They were very punctual and gave us the best food truck experience. The duck confit sandwich was a hit. Cindy and her team are great at making sure all your needs were met and were in constant communication with us leading up to the big night. read more

I've lived in LA for 2 years...from NYC. I keep hearing about amazing food trucks. I've tried many and they're, as we say in NY, meh. I got the chance to try Hurricane while they were parked on our studio lot. Finally, I've found a really good food truck!!! Great flavor profiles and really good prices. I tried the sriracha chicken sandwich with the jalapeno slaw. Really nice. Spicy but wont burn too bad. I've found that most people out here on the west coast are kinda babies about spicy food and the food trucks reflect that. Hurricane isnt afraid of spicy! I really hope they come back so I can try the duck confit!!! Thanks Hurricane!! read more

Used them for my wedding. Food was alright, not enough was served. I didn't have nearly as many people as I said I would and they tried over charging me $300 rather than deducting my price. Sadly, I would not recommend this food truck for a catering service. read more

Great great food truck at Lefondusac today. Everyone in our group raved about how fresh the food tasted. Our group had the bison burger, duck confit, braised rabbit, and more. All of them were delicious. The tomatillo slaw was perfect too. Can't wait to see them in Tin City again. read more

We hired The Hurricane Kitchen for our Christmas party this past weekend and they were AMAZING!! Fantastic food ... all, and I do mean 'all' of our guests loved the food. Every entree, every side dish made to perfection!! You can tell they really care about the food they are serving. Most of all ... they were so great to work with from the first contact we had with them (which made planning this aspect of our event completely painless) through when the time came for them to leave. I so recommend using them for your next event and/or seeking them out to just get yourself an amazing meal !! Thanks Hurricane Kitchen for making our party a real success !!! You rock !! read more
