I am the Executive Director of the P. Luna Foundation and the Tornado Potato Truck helped me out of a bind in December. Our nonprofit organization had an event in Van Nuys, CA and the truck we originally had scheduled was too far away to make it to out to the event. Tornado Potato Truck showed up and did a great job. They even honored the contract with the other truck and prices for the catering! Everyone loved the food and when they closed the truck at the end of the night we realized that the dancers at the event forgot to order their food before time was up. The owner of the truck was nice enough to start the truck back up and cook 3 vegetarian meals for the dancers. THANK YOU for your professionalism and for the great sausages! I recommend this company to anyone who wants great food for their event. read more

I was in Chinatown, Los Angeles when I saw this food truck. The "tornado potato" originated in South Korea. It's a street food specialty over there. As a fan of Korean food, I was excited when I saw this food truck, I've always wanted to try it I ordered the Cajun flavored "Original Tornado Potato" since it's the cheapest on the menu ($6.50) and I love Cajun spices OK, it tastes EXACTLY like the Cajun fries found in the Five Guys restaurants. Only difference is that it's in a different shape and form. It tastes really good since I'm a huge fan of French fries I'd give this food truck five stars if only the prices were a little cheaper. It's pretty high, it tastes like French fries which of course, is really cheap. Still, would I come back and try the other flavors offered such as "truffle?" Definitely, I still recommend this food truck for bringing this South Korean specialty to America read more

step 1 - go to tornado potato step 2 - get the screw driver step 3 - get a second screw driver step 4 - drive to my house step 5 - give the second screw driver to me read more

We invited Tornado Potato to our food truck fundraiser, and their food tasted pretty good. But before we could talk to them and collect the profit, they left! Kind of like a dine n' ditch thing, which, by the way, is super unprofessional and insulting. read more

This was the worst food truck experience I have had. I waited a long time for my food, got the wrong order and then the guy on the truck actually fought with me about the fact that they screwed up. Not only fought with me about that, but then acted like he was going to get off the truck and actually fight with me when all I asked for was what I actually ordered!! Not cool. Way too immature and over the top for me. Not to mention $8 for a skewer or potatoes? I honestly cant believe the whole experience. read more

their truck was at DTLA Artwalk and it's a genius idea. swirly potato on a stick! their "dressing" is just seasoning and I tried the jalapeño dip which was just ok. I could've ate it plain...it was a little too spicy for my taste but i'll try them again without the "dressing". the cost is $3.50 and up. read more

I ordered the garlic tornado potato and it was AMAZING. Will order from this truck again the next time I see it around. Delicious!

I love potatoes--it must be that bit of Irish in me--and I didn't love this one. Yes, it's a cool concept. It's a spiral cut potato on a skewer, dipped in your choice of seasoning. We tried the buttermilk ranch potato. I thought it wasn't cooked enough; it was kinda mushy instead of the crispiness I'd expected. So sad. I think the real draw of this truck really is the fun presentation of the food, rather than the taste. Worth trying once, but I wouldn't get it again. read more

I give them kudos for being innovative, but at the end of the day I felt like all I ate were slightly thicker potato chips. The flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. I honestly could've cut up potatoes and just fried them myself. So $5 for a plain tornado potato? No thanks. read more

What more can I say that other reviewers haven't? Well, I know that no one has mentioned that this place can be considered gluten free. We were following Jogasaki the other day, and one of my friends, who can't eat gluten, couldn't get his usual from them. :( BUT, parked right next to them, was Tornado Potato. There was no line at the time, so my friend got to have a nice talk with the very friendly owner of the truck. They went through the ingredients he uses, and agreed there should be nothing that would affect him (he has a very sensitive stomach). So, he bravely ordered the sausage potato. And, I can gladly say that, my friend was a very full and happy guy who felt fine all night. So, while I can't vouch for everything, the fact that a very sensitive (even cross contamination will affect him) gluten intolerant was able to enjoy a tasty meal, is a good sign my sensitive tummy peeps should come a'flockin. Enjoy! read more

Interesting concept but it's just okay. We had the tornado potato with lime and it tasted like french fries with some lime juice. Perhaps we should have tried the chili cheese dog version with a hot dog in the middle, that seems like a more novel concept but overall just not impressed. The wait seemed incredibly long for a potato on a stick though. read more

I was brainwashed into trying this food truck. After walking about 4 blocks behind someone holding this curly potato on a chopstick on the sidewalk, and then seeing yet another one, I backtracked 8 blocks to try it. The line was the longest of all the trucks on abbot kinney! I don't eat meat, but my date does, so we decided to share the Portuguese Hawaiian sausage one, and I would just eat the potato part. I was a little disappointed because the potatoes needed way more salt! I suspect that's why they have a container with all those condiments, so you can cover up that bland flavor with ketchup, mustard, siracha, etc. I thought I saw big salt flakes on the plain potatoes without sausage, and if so, why not keep the salting consistent? It was fun to eat, and I'm glad I got to try one! read more

I am not sure how people can eat these. I had the regular Tornado and it just felt like I was eating a soggy potato. A whole potato at that! Even with Cajun and Garlic Parmesan seasoning it didn't taste good. It took the combined might of me and my friend just to get through only half of it before we threw it away. This one spud is nothing but a big old dud. read more

Mmmmm! Truffle potato was PERFECT. They brushed on just enough oil to get the flavor of the truffle oil, but it was definitely not overbearing (which is super easy to do with that oil). Had to go back and try the chili cheese sausage potato and omg it was delicious! Sure, its a little expensive for just a potato, but for another buck you can have your choice of sausage instead of a skewers. Delicious! read more

This thing is freaking huge. We got the original with the parmesan garlic flavoring and it was delicious! 3 of us shared one and we couldn't finish bc we were so stuffed!!! I don't even know how people can eat the one with the hot dog in it! But all in all, it was delicious! I want to try the other flavors. read more

Found this truck at the Oct 2013 Las Vegas foodie fest. Ingenious concoction, fun to eat and deeelish. Kudos to the owners. Had the original tornado with garlic parmesan seasoning. Will definitely find if the truck is around next time we're in Anaheim for an Angels game! Yum!! read more

Tornado Potato - Hot Dogs Near Me - Anaheim, California

this was pretty good! A spiral of deep fried potatoes on a stick! We got the cheddar ranch flavor! Yum

I saw people walking around with these tornado potatoes, and I thought, "I have to try that." For $5.00, I got a Cajun Tornado potato. To sum it up, the concept of it surpasses the outcome. Fried potato on a stick in a spiral form definitely appeals to me, but I found the tornado to be too soft and bland. It reminds of of soggy french fries, and if you prefer your fries soggy, then I think this place is worth a try. If you like your fries crispy, like I do, then skip this place, you'll thank me later. read more

This past Saturday the Tornado Potato truck graced us with it's presence along with numerous of other equally delciously sounding food trucks at the Chinatown Summer Nights event. I was very excited for this food truck because the potatoes look ubber cool. To my surprise the potato it self was bland and lacking flavor, I was expecting that the original potato might include some sort of custom seasoning, but what you're really paying for is for a swirled potato. sigh - what a waste of calories. *It should be noted that I got the original tornado potato* read more

Tried this at the Santa Anita Food Truck Fest and it was ok. Super creative idea and it was fun to eat but it totally needed some more flavor! read more

I really wasn't expecting much when my friend suggested that we tried the tornado potato. "Isn't it just potato chips on a stick?" I thought to myself. But since my friend is paying for it, who am I to turn down free food?! So I went ahead and got the Salt and Vinegar flavor on my tornado potato and I was really surprised by how good it tasted. First of, the texture was perfect, not too hard and not too soggy, just perfect. The flavor was good and distinct but not overwhelming. I have never had that many people came up to us not asking for directions, but about the food we had in our hands. So there you go, not only was the tornado delicious, but it is also a great conversation piece! read more

I love tornado potato. I have always gotten the sour cream and onion. I think my only complaint is that I'd like more flavored powder. The idea is brilliant. I like how you can squeeze the ketchup in between the little spirals. These go fast when I get them. It's probably the only food that I've been approached by random people to ask where I got one. I tried a plain tornado potato from another food truck who served Mediterranean food, and it wasn't nearly as good. The flavor is key! read more

I LUV, LUV, LUV this truck. I had the polish sausage tornado and it was awesome.

I saw them at the OC Fair and decided to try one of these tornado-y potatoes with white truffle sauce. My mom got one with the garlic parmesan powder, and my dad got one with the cheddar ranch. Both of those were much, much better than mine. Mine just tasted like a potato. There was absolutely no other flavor on there. I still enjoiyed it though. I had bites of theirs and I wish I had ordered the cheddar ranch flavor! Oh well, next time. Definitely a cool thing. I was walking around with it and had about 40 people ask me what it was and where I got it. They know how to get people's attention, and everyone loves potatoes! read more

The potato is cool looking, but it is very very greasy and saltless... you add your own. It was a cool one time only experience for my daughter... but I doubt I'll be going back. read more

We had the screwdriver and it was DELICIOUS. It had chili cheese, nacho cheese and a sausage speared through it along with the potato spiral. I loved it!!! read more

The idea of this place never really excited me. I always felt like it would be just kind of 'okay.' I was certainly wrong. The potato, when fried, is much better than a regular french fry. I found the outside texture much 'lighter' but still very crisp. Kind of hard to describe. Unlike some of the other reviews, I also did not find it greasy. I got the sausage tornado, which was awesome. I've always felt that we can do better than a bun, for sausage. I liked that the sausage also got some fried texture on it, too. The prices are very cheap too. Think about what you'd pay for fries and a sausage separately, more than here. Food came out quick and hot, they move it along pretty well here. This will be a repeat truck for me! read more

It seemed really strange to me but what the hell i ordered it. IT WAS DELISH. Could be a little better but still pretty fricking good. What a great experience!!! thanks read more

Just ate at their truck today for the first time at the Corona Food Truck event....Very interesting concept, but at $7 for a spiral potato on a stick with nacho cheese sauce, it is a pretty outratgeously priced (not to mention almost impossbly messy to eat) concoction. And, my potatoe was undercooked and too hard with not enough crispy on the exterior....After this experience, I dared not try their zuchini with a similar treatment. read more

Awesome. Very yummy. Too bad they're not a bit quicker when preparing your food. We had so much Parmesan on our fries. Awesome.

I had it last week when they came to my town for food truck festival. I try the ranch flavor and it was so good that make me buy another one..definetly worth to try..the reason I gave it 4 stars is because the price..5 dollar for 1 order..pretty expensive for potato and spices only.. read more

I didn't know what to expect at first but when the uniquely potato wrapped sausage arrived it looked so interesting I had to post a pic to my friends. Then I was pleasently surprised to find it tasted even better than it looked. It was the perfect hand carried fair food we needed for our day at the festival. I was pleased and impressed. I will be back for the sweet potato tornado later! read more

The screwdriver is absolutely AMAZING. There is no way you could get the sausage without adding the chili and cheese on top. With the homemade, or truck-made rather, chili and cheese, the screwdriver is absolutely heaven. The potatoes are perfectly wrapped crispy around the juicy Cajun sausage that is seasoned to perfection. The best thing is: THEY ADDED JALAPENOS TO THE MENU. And to think Tornado Potato could not get any better. I can't wait to go back. read more

HELL YEAH BEST FUCKING FOOD TRUCK EVER. My bad for all the caps but words cannot describe how great this is, and it is kosher too. I have tried something similar to this at Volcano Tea and some vietnamese shops and they call it ponado, but by far this is the best. The variety in the different tornados is badass. The screwdriver was what I had ordered. The chili was spicy not too much though, and the cheese was good not too droppy and had the perfect amount of zest into this. read more

This truck is so RUDE. I saw them try and fight another truck the other day off Abbot Kinney. Really? How immature. I would not recommend this truck and their greasy food to anyone. I think all the trucks should work together. Good job lost a customer! read more

I was very excited to try this truck last Saturday, September 13. They were advertised as participating in a fundraiser for a local church a few of my friends attend. I was especially looking forward to trying their Sweet Tornado with cinnamon and sugar! Unfortunately this truck decided to not show up and (from what I heard) they didn't even contact the event manager to let them know they weren't going to be there. They've officially lost my business due to irresponsible business practices and ignoring the children in need. Shame on you! read more

This truck had really good food but the last thing I want with them is business. My school hosted a family fun night event with a variety of food trucks. We only asked a certain amount percentage of each truck. After the event we came to each truck and they gave our respected agreement of donations. Except tornado potato left right when we were going to talk to them and get our share. It is extremely unprofessional, rude, and unacceptable. This behavior of businesses in any way intolerable. So If there is an event, please don't invite this truck. They will use your event and cheat the system like they way they did to my school! Take my review as a learning experience. read more

A month ago we hosted a food truck event and invited Tornado Potato as one of our guest trucks. Many of the students enjoyed their food and gave good feedback. Unfortunately to us, their serviced flopped. We never received our made profit from them, considering it was our first food truck festival ever planned, it kind of gave us a bad experience with it. We have tried contacting them, but never responded. read more

Wow! I am seriously surprised by how great this sausage tornado potato tastes. Perfect size for a meal and full of flavor. My daughter loved it too. read more

We have had them at multiple high school events and they are always a hit with our crowd! Nice people and amazing food!
