    Carne asada fries.
    Karina S.

    I was disappointed with these carne asada fries. They have waaaay to much onion the fries were super greasy. And over all just not that great, and super expensive for what it is. I'm giving 3 stars because the agua fresca was good. But I will not be getting this again.

    $25 for an order of Asada fries and a bacon wrapped hot dog. Pretty steep prices for what they are offering. Would not recommend their food for the prices you are paying.

    No prices listed anywhere at there stand

    This stand is at the Downey farmers market.They do not post the prices of the food like they are supposed to.Their aguas frescas are $2 more for the exact same thing offered next door. By not posting prices, customers don't have a fair choice of where the buy.Misleading to say the least.

    Do urself a favor and just keep walking...

    My boyfriend was craving these all the way from west LA! So we drove 40 min to satisfy his craving…read morehaha, and they did not disappoint!Saw this place on La Times 101 best restaurants one year. Ordered a carne asda taco and an adobado taco in both and flour tortilla and corn tortilla. I love the flour tortilla so much!!!! It had nice charred flavor to it that was delicious. Would just get the flour next time! It's a food truck. There was no line to place our order but getting our food took around 15 min. Food came with onions, peppers, salsas and pico de gallo! Would def get this more often if it was closer. They had seats under a tent to eat and street parking in the neighborhood.

Not sure if their brick & mortar in Whittier just is as good, but the truck was amaze-balls. What separates this truck from other establishments is their style of cooking, cooking, and salsa flavors. They are from the mexican state of Sinaloa, specifically the tourist city if Mazatlan. Similar to sinaloa/sonora style food. They have a small menu, i believe just 3 proteins, Asada(grilled steak), Adobada(marinated pork), and Tripas(grilled beef tripe). I believe they used to have just 2. My order: Taco de Asada in a flour tortilla, another in corn tortilla, a tripe taco, and a Chorreada. May might not be familiar with this type of taco. Its a hardened corn tortilla flat shell, slathered with "Asientos" which is a type of sediment left over after frying pork, topped with your choice of protein. Their sauces are delicious, a bit different from the standard So-cal sauces we are used to. They shower the tacos in 2 sauces, one for spice, the other chunkier red sauce is all for taste. Service was fine, they are used to handling large crowds, so food comes out fairly quickly. Give them a try if you are in the area.

The staff was very friendly. If you download the app, you get a free side. So make sure you do so!

That was a good start. I ordered an OG Rice and Egg Roll combo. I chose sweet sausage and spicy sauce option for the OG Rice, which is supposed to have scrambled eggs, sausage, and mixed veggies in the fried rice. What I was given was a half pound of fried rice drenched in sriracha with a few peas and paper thin slices of penny sized sausage circle rounds. This was ridiculous. I took a few bites, dug around looking for the eggs, the veggies, and some actual pieces of sausage..and just tossed it. What a shame. How cheap can you be? seriously. This is such a disappointment and just shameful. I paid $17 for my meal and I was given a mound of rice and sriracha? Wow. The egg rolls were alright. small but crunchy shell, and the pork inside was decent. But it did not make up for the fried rice. The owner has been extremely sweet and reached out to me, so I will be happy to give Pho King another try!

I cooked the food for our guest of about 70 and we catered the esquites. Our party started at 2 and they came around 1:30 to get prepped and set up and was ready to serve at 2. Requested enough for about 75 guest and they came with the cups with a custom sticker to match our party theme. They had leftover stickers on a roll and they just gave us the rest to hand out to all the kids at the party. This was my first time to have a whole cup of corn since I don't normally buy some from the street vendors so I don't know how to compare it to, but all of the party guest enjoyed it. We went simple with the additional toppings but that Hot Cheetos is worth the extra price. My wife prefers her corn with a little extra of the broth, and that's not how they serve it, so if you want extra broth, make sure to ask. Some guest asked for it and they happily served it that way. They gave a 15 min warning as they were preparing to leave and we still had plenty of left over corn, which they gave to us we just had to provide a container. It was only one person that came and he was very efficient and no one had to wait for a long time to be served. He was very courteous and respectful to our party guest. Would definitely book again!

    I hired David from Passion for The Pie for my children's birthday party, and I honestly could not…read morerecommend him more! From the very beginning, David was so easy to work with. Communication was excellent, and a few days before the party he reached out directly to coordinate with the venue. That made everything so much easier and gave me one less thing to worry about on the day of the event. Our party was from 9 AM-12 PM, and David arrived before I even got there and was completely set up and ready to go. He brought his own full setup, including tables, plates, a pop-up tent for shade, and a great team to help everything run smoothly. We had around 120 guests, and everyone LOVED the pizza. Our package included two regular pizzas (cheese and pepperoni) and two specialty pizzas, and we chose BBQ chicken and Hawaiian. Everything was fresh and delicious. At one point, David even walked around with a freshly made pepperoni and jalapeño pizza that he made on the spot without us even asking. Our guests loved it! One thing that really stood out to me was how accommodating David was. I mentioned that we had a guest with a dairy allergy, and without hesitation, he made a fresh cheeseless pizza specifically for them. That level of attentiveness really impressed me and meant a lot as the host. He also offers different pricing options for adults and children, along with gluten-free dough, which is really helpful when you're feeding a large group with different dietary needs. Beyond the food, David is just genuinely great to work with. He is responsive, professional, organized, flexible, and clearly takes pride in what he does. He really goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Our guests were still talking about how good the pizza was after the party! If you're planning a birthday party, family gathering, or any event and want fresh, delicious pizza from someone who is reliable and easy to work with, I highly recommend Passion for The Pie and David. I will absolutely be booking him again for future events! 5 stars all the way!

I really appreciated the per person cost which made it easy to calculate. There plenty of slices for everyone and a few extras. Extra touches included adding in an extra pizza selection and preparing a pizza especially for a guest who couldn't eat cheese. The set up is very cute and the owners were very friendly. Probably most importantly - the pizzas were delicious! Every guest raved about the flavor and crust and came back for more. Guests were very, very happy!
