    The food truck lot is a great, fun alternative to the usual dining out experience. As a food truck…read morelover, I was excited to try this Tuesday night event in Santa Monica. Although the facebook page is relatively accurate in listing which trucks will be present, you may be surprised by what trucks are actually there. The variety is nice with a mix of American and ethnic cuisines, street food and entrees, cheap to moderately expensive offerings and dinner and dessert. The parking is either street parking or the adjacent lot for $6. There is seating on the grass nearby or at The Victorian restaurant next door. The lot is small and a little crowded with the trucks, the lines and people walking through. There are also a couple of vendors selling jewelry and trinkets. Drinks are sold at a makeshift bar or at The Victorian. It's a nice event where you can try food from several trucks without having to deal with massive crowds and traffic. While I enjoyed it, my suggestion would be that the folks who operate the Santa Monica food truck lot hire some live entertainment. That would make for an awesome event. https://www.facebook.com/smfoodtrucklot

    I love this place!…read more Being new to the area, this has been me n hubby's weekly stop for a number of reasons! 1. compared to first fridays, and being on a tuesday, this lot is real chlll and allows you to walk around freely as you shop the trucks menus 2. every week brings different trucks, so there is always someone new to try! 3. parking is not bad at all.......... some weeks, you may have to walk a block or 2; other weeks, you get lucky and find a spot in the lot right next to the venue! but, over all its do able 4. The added bonuses of nearby shopping! because of this great location, you can stuff your face, take a break and hit up a couple shops, go back for dessert, and then go home happy! you've completed your dinner, an evening walk, and had a nice dessert!

    Ordered the spicy pork and beef bulgogi quesadillas…read more Food came out within 10 mins, tortillas were fresh and toasted, meat was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese melted nicely. It came out to $20 plus tax which is extremely reasonable for the area and for how loaded the quesadillas were with meat. All in all, I give this truck 5 stars! They must have improved their quality since some of these older reviews.

    I saw this food truck nearby and wondered if this truck comes around here often. Sometimes, I don't…read morelike these moving targets that I cannot check-in to because the origin of this truck is in Santa Monica. Approaching this truck at this late hour after the lunch rush, I'm wondering if they're ready to close up. I looked over the menu and had a few questions. I kept on moving from left to right until I saw two people sitting in the cab of the truck. They see me and jump to their feet like soldiers about to salute a higher ranking officer. Yet, it was just me. I begin to ask, which is better, Mongolian BBQ or Korean BBQ? The guy said Korean BBQ. For the Korean BBQ, which is better, the beef or the spicy pork? He said the beef is more popular. So the beef it is. How spicy do you want it? Sometimes I can handle spicy but today I requested for mild. Wait about five minutes and my order is ready. It's certainly a heavy plate caring it to a table I can just hoover this quickly. A nice helping of rice topped with beef and some vegetables is a portion fit for lunch. Something to hold me over for a late dinner for sure. Wish there was more kimchee but the macaroni salad was enough to put me into a food coma.
