I had the kawailsilog - crispy fried pork belly with garlic rice and fried egg. It was good and decent sized portion for the price. I usually don't like too crispy of fried goods so the more crunchy pieces I didn't care for. But the pork pieces were good. Garlic rice was ehh. The lumpia was a good portion and were aright. Nothing too special about em.

The Lechon Kawali Silog is tough to beat with the generous portion of fried pork, lots of tasty garlic fried rice and a runny egg on the side.

While they just closed Spark Social for outdoor dining, the food trucks are still there and available for to-go orders. Definitely support this business!

After coming across Linda's Catering for the very first time, I'd be lying if I said they got me…read moreall that excited. Not that appearances are everything (and not to be mean), but if I ran into these guys at an Off The Grid event or Spark Social, I'd probably walk right by without even giving them a second thought. However, after passing by them numerous times at the same spot by 4th on Townsend? Sure, I was willing to give them a shot! If there was ever a mom-and-pop food truck, Linda's Catering would definitely be it. While not as old school as those OG taco trucks and "roach coaches", these guys certainly aren't as modern or fancy as the likes of KoJa Kitchen with their LCD menu screens. However, their menu of sushi burritos, ramen, and rice plates (along with some random sides) is still interesting enough, even if they don't look all that great in the photo print outs. -- CHICKEN KAZU (KATSU) CURRY RICE...$9 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lindas-catering-san-francisco?select=tdjyzFVsUhuHIY2OVW86xg) While it may have looked the part, this was actually pretty underwhelming overall. As generous as they were with the katsu, it was both overcooked and not hot, amazingly enough (cooked ahead of time?). What's more, the curry was very "meh" - okay consistency, bland in flavor. -- CHICKEN KAZU (KATSU) SUSHI BURRITO...$10 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lindas-catering-san-francisco?select=JzbFHZyewfTOh7mxzNP2Yw) I returned one more time to try this on my buddy's recommendation and, aside from its poor assembly, this wasn't too shabby! Not only was the roll pretty hefty, but the katsu was much better in this case (steamed in the roll?) and the spicy aioli sauce they used added a nice kick. Even though their kazu/katsu burrito is actually pretty good, I'd be hard pressed to give Linda's Catering anything more than three stars. Along with my disappointing curry rice dish, service here isn't all that quick (unlike most other food trucks). Despite ordering the exact same thing, it took an extra 5-10 mins for our second burrito to come out, on top of the 10-15 mins the first one took. Not a big deal for something as good as a Senor Sisig burrito, but much less so in this case.

Stumbled across Linda's Catering when looking online for asian options and went to go try out her ramen. Straight off the truck, the miso ramen was really amazing and a decent portion for lunch or dinner. I also tried her spicy tuna burrito, which came highly recommended and that was tasty too. Basically it's a ginormous maki roll. After deciding to have Linda be one of our caters for the wedding reception, it was extremely pleasant and easy to work with her. She runs a small business and was more than willing to accommodate us anyway she could help out. Her prices were very reasonable and for what our guests got, it was definitely worth it! Our guests loved the ramen and thought it was very fun and it provided just the right thing on a cooler outdoor evening reception. We ended up getting half portions to not overwhelm everyone with all our different food truck foods and it worked out great. I cannot say how nice Linda was or how hard she worked to make our wedding special. She was always all smiles and it was so kind that she was really happy to be part of the whole wedding and wished us well. If you're around Townsend St. or are looking to add something fun to your event, drop on by Linda's Catering truck and have some ramen!

Select from fresh cut-up watermelon, mangos, strawberries, cantalope, jicama, cucumbers, pineapple, papaya, cactus fruit, coconut, or a mixed bag. They'll squeeze fresh limes on it, sprinkle salt, and as much chili powder as you want. They'll give you a squewer so you can poke the pieces out of the ziplock bag. Some carts offer steamed corn on a stick, although I'm not used to the way they prepare it. They roll the corn in mayo and sprinkle it with chili powder and something kinda like parmesean cheese. It's OK but I usually stick with the fruits. Or get a bag of homemade extra crunchy potato chips. Those are excellent too.

Something about the lettuce (do they still include that?), mayo, and "chicken" is timeless. Timeless, too, was my CHICKEN TORTA $6.50. My flyer menu said it came with sour cream, but I received mayonnaise. I don't know if they were out of ingredients or if I was given an Americanized version. Either way, it tasted straight McDonald's, which you may consider awesome or awful. My verdict is 3 stars, but... MINUS 1 STAR: My flyer and all signage on the truck listed tortas as $5.00. I was charged $6.50 and paid $8.00 after tip. The issue isn't the tip but the $1.50 leap beforehand. Tax isn't 30%. I may have been charged for vegetables and chips which I didn't order but turned up in my bag. The menus made no mention of such add-ons, and I wasn't asked if I wanted any. If they were complimentary, the $1.50 remains unexplained. An undesirable situation either way.

Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

As much as I wanted to rate this place higher, unfortunately the steak fries was below par…read more Tacos Mi Rancho is a food truck that operates near Lake Merritt. No tables and chairs outside - just pure to-go. Parking is limited to street parking with many of the spaces taken by Lake Merritt visitors. There was a constant flow of customers when I went during non-peak dining hours, so I'd assume that they have lines during other times. The steak fries were a bit bland with too much sour cream and less of everything else making the fries a bit soggy. The sauces did a lot of the heavy lifting to make this dish a bit more enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try their burritos and tacos - which are what they are most known for (I just was craving steak fries that day). There must be a reason why locals love this food truck!
