    Duet ($12.50) comes with 1/2 lobster roll and crab cake
    Jessica L.

    I'm almost sad they're not an established restaurant because now I have to find them! I got the duet ($12.50), which was perf for me but might not be enough food for others. 1/2 Lobster roll: Buttery toast with not too much mayonnaise and overflowing with lobster chunks. Captain crunch crab cake: Crispy, with plenty of crab lumps, and a slightly spicy sauce on top. Didn't taste the captain crunch but it works! Spinach artichoke grilled cheese: SO CHEESY and delicious! If you like spinach artichoke and grilled cheese, you'll love this. Salmon burger: Obviously not truck made and probably a froze salmon patty from costco. Sorry for being blunt but spend your money on other things. (-1 star)

    Cap n crunch crab cakes!
    Seetha G.

    We recently have this awesome truck stop by at our work Scripps Health and I don't wanna pack lunch anymore coz everything they have seems infinitely more tempting! I tried the Cap n crunch crab cakes....It was deliciously crunchy on the outside and packed with perfectly seasoned flaky moist crab on the inside. The sriracha lime mayo dressing drizzled on the cakes added a subtle punch to the texture of the crab cakes- pure genius!! I can't wait to try some of their other specials- especially the spinach artichoke grilled cheese.

    The Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese was amazing! I had it last night and I WILL be looking for them today. Fairly priced and interesting sodas. Best "new" thing I've tried in a very long time.

    Lobster Roll and crispy fries!

    I stole a bite out of my BFF's lobster roll and I was in love!! The fresh tasting lobster, the purity of its flavor and the perfectly buttery roll... yuuuummm I first tried Two for the Road at the Tuesday Food Truck gathering on Adams Ave. I couldn't stop thinking about that lobster roll for days. The Friday AA Beer Club meet at 57 Degrees ( every 3rd Friday of each month they have food trucks in the back parking lot). As soon as I saw the white and blue checkered truck I went straight there!! I tried the shrimp BLT, look at my picture as it speaks for itself!! Deliciously fresh until the last bite. Shrimp fresh, not over cooked, perfect amount of mayo, bacon crispy and the bread crispy, buttery and soft all at the same time. Now about those fries... Wow momma!! Nothing special to them, nothing fancy, but every single one is crispy! The $14 I paid for the lobster roll and the $9 for the shrimp BLT was ohhh so worth it!! You honestly get whet you pay for.

    I've tried these guys twice now and although I've had better food elsewhere I enjoy supporting my local food truck. My first meal I had was the monte cristo and it was super good. Rather small but these gave me an excuse for me to try their lobster roll. That I was not a big fan of, plain and simple it wasn't to my liking. The second meal was their Dr. Pepper burger and fries. I liked the fries as they were dusted in parmesan cheese but the burger wasn't exciting and the meat lacked overall flavor. I expected a sweet caramelized patty but got a bland burger instead. I do appreciate that they have Cravory cookies as those are the best in the business, and the throwback sodas, Cheerwine is my fave.

    Since I grew up in New England, I rarely get Maine lobster on the west coast due to obvious reasons. That being said, I tried this food truck out at Balboa Park's Food Truck Friday. The line was on the longer end, but usually that means it's worth the wait. I got the lobster grilled cheese with a small side of fries. I was tempted to get a Maine woopie pie but they looked a bit smooshed. The bisected grilled cheese showed a decent amount of lobster and the buttered bread and cheese were comfort food done well. I tried a bit of my friend's crab cake, and it was tasty but felt more like a falafel than a crabby crab cake.

    Crab cakes.

    Oh my goodness. For a food truck, the food was AMAZING! I got the lobster roll and the crab cakes. The lobster roll is filled with big chunks of lobster meat. Its $14, but it's lobster, so what do you expect? I think it's worth it. The crab cakes are perfectly crunchy on the outside and have a ton of flavor and crab on the inside. Thumbs up from me! Can't wait to run into you guys again.

    Tried this food truck last Tuesday in South Park and ordered their lobster roll. This was the most popular thing on the menu and I've never had a lobster roll before so it seemed to be the best bet. $14 seemed a little steep at first but once I got home and took one bite, I was hooked! The bread was nicely toasted and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster. My sandwich must've been stuffed with 2 whole lobster claws and more! Picky Hubby even loved it and he still talks about it a week later. Will definitely be looking out for them at other food truck gatherings.

    Cap n crunch crab cakes with half order of fries.
    David Joshua D.

    I've tried this food truck out a few times and the food is pretty good but on the pricey side. I think they're most popular item is the lobster roll. If you like lobster, then you'd probably enjoy this sandwich. It comes in a roll and they give a good amount of lobster. It costs $14. For $2 extra, you can get them to put extra lobster in it as well. I don't really like lobster or crave it so it was just ok to me. The lobster roll isn't something I would crave or need to try again. Today I tried the cap n crunch crab cakes. I didn't really taste the cap n crunch batter but the crab cakes were pretty big. It's like an inch thick and they give you two. The crunchiness of it and the spicy mayo sauce is what makes it taste so good. I got a half order of fries for $2 but they also have a full order for $4. They give a good amount of fries for each portion. Tip: if you can pay with cash, do it. They charge 50 cents for credit card transactions. All in all, if you like seafood then try this place out. It's pretty pricey though so don't be so shocked when you see the prices.

    Lobster roll and sweet potato fries!
    Sherley I.

    This is the second time I've had them. First time 3.5, we had a burger that had pastrami on top I think. It was good not great, but the bottom bun was soggy. Today, we had the lobster roll 4.5 and sweet potato fries 4. It was the first time we've tried a lobster roll and it was so good. Sweet potato fries were good too and had a nice amount of salt on them.

    It's been a long time since I ate here (they came to my work which was awesome, but it was a one time thing) but I remember being happy with it. The lobster roll is obviously the most expensive item and the roll wasn't HUGE or anything cuz lobster is freaking expensive, but it was good and had a good ratio of mayo to the lobster. The presentation was great and the condiments and stuff tucked right into my little basket made it easy to carry. I would go back.

    This cute little food truck serves up some pretty decent food...but from the reviews I guess I should have gone with the lobster! Ohhhh well...next time! I ordered the Shrimp BLT ($9) The bread was nice and buttery. The shrimp was perfect! It came with lettuce, tomatoes and a siracha lime mayo sauce and of course...the bacon! They don't skimp on the bacon either...Unfortunately for me, the bacon made the sandwich too salty for my taste. They have quite a collection of specialty chips as well as bottled sodas. I was boring and ordered a half order of fries ($2)

    Two for the Road provided amazing service and delicious food at our Block Party event in Rancho Santa Fe. Delicious and very quick food!
    Dana M.

    Lisa and her team provided a fantastic menu custom to our event last night, and I couldn't begin to explain how satisfied we were with the service and taste of Two for the Road food truck. At first, her responses were the quickest and most professional that I had received from San Diego Food Truck's online site. We chose TFTR because of their great reviews, professionalism, and delectable looking menu's that were a perfect fit for our event. The menu we were able to customize with Lisa was simple, yet all that our guests needed for a block party to celebrate our company's anniversary party. We had a bit over 50 guests attend and Lisa and her team provided exceptional food throughout the night. The cheeseburger was unbelievable and made so quickly. I also couldn't help myself from sampling the artichoke grilled cheese that was out of this world!!! I am really excited for more events to go to and host that I will be enjoying Two For the Road meals! Thank you so much and we are hungry for more! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

Wish bacon was more crispy but man this side dish was my meal and such a treat. Hubby said burger was dry but he went back and asked for Mayo and that helped he said. No hot sauce, he wanted something spicy. The Mexican food truck had some they let him have. That was nice. Daughter did not like the grilled cheese. We all tried it and it was way too oily tasting. But we aren't a fan of sourdough. Still it was really oily. The Mac n cheese on the grilled cheese didnt have flavor. Just more oily taste. We didn't eat it. But heads up if you like these type of grilled cheese you'll like it. A lot of places serve them oily and on sourdough like Panera bread etc. So just because we don't like that style doesnt meant you won't. She ate a lot of my fries and hubby went back and got another burger and she ate half. So all good. The fried Oreos weren't that good sadly. No crispy to it. More just soft and sugary. We like the crispy outer layer type. Will 100% bee line to this truck for the fries though. Sadly no tots. Would love to try the tots one day. I've asked the kids school to please bring this truck back for their school event. They use to have it but didnt last year. Well just got the line up for this year, they'll be back!!!! Gonna recommend ppl go get the fries, so good!!!!! Hope they have tots this year. If so we will get both!!!!! And I know my son will get the burger. Can't wait!!!!

I saved the last one towards the end of our meal because I was sad it was coming to an end. Definitely my favorite item of this trip. We also shared a large shrimp cocktail, fish flautas and Clamato. Shrimp cocktail had the perfect seasonings, salty and hint of sweet. Large is good as 1 meal or to share if trying different things. The fish flautas were good, they come with a fried fish inside. Not one of my top items of today but still good to try. The Clamato was so refreshing! Size is big for sharing, great flavor. Everything tasted very fresh which is so important, especially with the oysters. Staff was friendly and super welcoming! $66 for everything was decently priced 2 people sharing. Will definitely be visiting these guys again. *parking & seating - there are high tables and counter to eat on but no chairs. We park at the liquor store since it's a quick trip but there is also street parking.
