    Women's Best Friend

    Waffles Amore is our favorite dessert cater to bring into the office! Judy (the owner) is so sweet, responsive and makes the best waffles. We do a limited menu to make sure that service is possible for 150 people in 1.5 hrs but even with that it's still delicious. Thank you Judy and the team for being so great, as always looking forward to having you back.

    Best waffles out there!

    Went to a wedding vow renewal yesterday where Waffle Amore was serving AMAZING waffles! I'd never heard of this before! I had the most DELICIOUS chicken waffles and lemon raspberry waffles! The waffles tasted a bit like sourdough. They were probably a gazillion calories but so worth it! Great tasting, and oh SO crispy and yummy! Not greasy at all.

    Literally tongue-tied!!! My love for waffles has tripled after eating these!!!totally legit and what a wonderful warm person Judy is!! I have been dying to eat out of a food truck after my recent visit to Portland and have been running after this specific one for a very long time!! These guys have a packed schedule (I totally get it) and travel to different places everyday so if you want to catch em,go onto their website and visit their calendar page,they have a schedule you can see and make plans accordingly!! My sincere advice would be don't go alone! Take your gang with you! Also if you have dogs even better,they make some amazing dog friendly waffles!! isn't she just amazing!!! We ordered the woman's best friend, bananas foster waffles (this one's with a salted rum sauce non alcoholic God knows how she made it) and a ice cream wafflewich all delicious,crispy,light,buttery, airy, fresh, homemade and filled with love.that whipped cream is a star so light and fresh!! I was impressed to see so much love, care and passion in her!!she also gave me the special for the day butter pecan ice cream to try!! IAM definitely going to follow her you should too!!!

    Waffle Amore was that are Foster City Summer days festival. My son and I decided to order some thing from there, and my son, who is six years old, is a huge fan of chicken and waffles, so I wasn't sure what his judgment would be. He told me the chicken was so good, and some of the best waffles he's ever had. He even really liked the syrup drizzle that was on it. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was exceptional, so it was only right for me to go back up to the truck and let them know how great the food was and our feedback regarding service as well. I met Judie who is the owner of the truck and she was so friendly and we talked about the service of people and talking and promoting your business. There were so many other trucks and the people selling we're not engaging with customers at all so I highly applaud waffle amor for doing what they do, and making great food. I highly recommend you to give this truck a try. They even have three dessert options -

    This is one of my most favourite trucks. Their food is just as good as their genuine customer service. We have a stuffed animal chicken that we have as my work's office mascot. His name is Waffle Amore Bird named after our favourite truck! The Philly Cheesesteak Waffle- It's as good as it sounds. Imagine straight out of Philly and put in a Waffle. It's a game changer done right. Chicken & Waffles- It's got soul. The crisp texture is perfect. The seasoning and flavour is done well with lots of love. It's one of those dishes where if you've had a challenging day and this dish can make up for it. You will become a forgiving person, especially to a nagging boss at work. That's how soul-healing it is! The Pulled Porkwich- Feels like it's been slow cooked for an entire day! Very soul healing good! The Lemon Bar- The perfect dessert. If you eat with your eyes, the colour just pops at you. It's beautiful. It's as beautiful as it is delicious! The perfect way to get a high on sweetness! And the sweet tanginess from the lemon curd is a great surprise on every bite!

    Bacon Cheddar Waffle with Sriracha!

    San Pedro Market was the place to be for this year's SJ Made. Waffle Amore was here and I had to try them out! Since this truck was brand new to me, i had to ask for their popular waffle. Mark suggested their Bacon Cheddar Waffle. This already sounded like a winner already. This waffle turned out to be crispy and soft. My waffle was topped with bacon bits, chives, sour cream, and my favorite rooster sauce, sriracha. Oh, did I forget to mention bacon? The bacon lightly crisped. The saltiness of the bacon countered the sweetness of the waffle. The sour cream and the sriracha gave the waffle gave a cool and spicy balance. The chives were just there to give me my vegetable serving for the day. This waffle had brunch written all over it. For those of you who love waffles or want to try something out of your comfort zone, give Waffle Amore a try! I'm looking forward for a Chicken and Waffle menu item!

    Do you want a savory waffle? - They have a bacon and cheddar waffle w/ sour cream and green onions ($8) - Please note that I did not get this; it was "today's special" Do you want a variety to choose as your dessert waffle? - Liege waffle.. my daughter enjoyed this and said it tastes sweet ($5) The toppings Amore offers: - Seasonal fruit - Bananas - Nutella - Peanut Butter - Whipped Cream - Butter - Maple Syrup - Belgian Hot Fudge - Caramel Sauce The first topping is free, the second topping is $1, but for $2 you can get unlimited toppings. Service was friendly. They accept cards. The waffle took less than 5 minutes. My daughter really likes it and I liked it too as I stole a bite off of hers.

    Strawberry cheesecake & Bananas Foster. Both of these are delish!

    Judy is thee most helpful person I've interacted with when I planned my last big event. I recently contacted her regarding an event, but she was booked for that day so she gave me a list of people to contact for my event. Because of Judy, I was introduced to Gold Rush Eatery. I've seen Waffle Amore all over the place and finally tried a few items from the truck. Last week, I tried the strawberry cheesecake and bananas foster waffles. They were both very delicious and so fresh. The homemade whipped cream was just right and not too sweet. If I were to pick my favorite between the two I tried, I would pick the banana foster waffles. The waffles are a good size and can be shared with multiple people. I'm hoping that I'll be able to work with Judy and her team in the near future.

    My mouth is watering right now just thinking about my delicious waffle. Last weekend my daughter and I participated in the Viva Calle event in San Jose. As we walked from King into down town we were both ready for a snack. Although there were several Food Trucks, we chose this one and boy we were so glad we did! We split the Banana Foster waffle and it was AMAZING! I can honestly say I haven't had anything like this, ever! The waffle was so light and fluffy yet crisp and oh so buttery (drooling). Then they too it with sliced bananas, fresh whip cream and the tastiest salted run Carmel sauce I've EVER tasted!! Yum yum yum yum!! Would I eat this again? YES! Would I like to try other items? YES! Do I wish this truck was parked in my driveway right now? YES!!

    Judy and her team were awesome. We had a school event and we were recommended by a staff member. These are the reasons why enjoyed Waffle Amore: - Tasty waffles that were crisp on be outside and fluffy in the inside. The chicken and waffles are a must as well as the Philly cheesesteak waffle open face sandwich (if I may). Vegan chili was superb m! - Great customer service, very communicative and prompt with responding to phone calls and e-mails. We switched one of our items on the menu and they took it graciously - We even had chairs to sit in and enjoy food outside our school. Very accommodating to staying the least Thank you for a wonderful treat!

    Waffle Amore sells mostly dessert waffles. You can choose between a Brussels or Liège waffle. You can choose from a variety of toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, chocolate, nutella or marshmallow. I tried the Liège waffle for something different and I hated it. I thought the flavor was awful. It also took 10 minutes to get my waffle which is a long time to wait at a food truck. I don't think I'd bother here again. I hear the bacon cheddar waffle is good. I would like more savory options than just this one.

    Strawberry cheesecake liege waffle and bacon cheddar Brussels waffle
    Vivian H.

    i was really excited when i found out waffle amore was gonna be in my area around lunch time on a Wednesday. I was going with my boyfriend and i told him we're getting both the brussels and liege waffle because i really could not decide on both... LOL ...fat.ass.... we got there at 1pm, so there were there for about an hour or so already, i think. since im super super super indecisive, we just got the specials of the day-- which were the strawberry cheesecake liege waffle and the bacon cheddar brussels waffle. The people serving were super laid back and i talked to them while the others made the waffle. We took pictures and went back to the car to eat. The bacon cheddar brussels and the liege waffle were both pretty hyped up, so i was expecting super delicious orgasm in my mouth. But that i didnt really happen, as the bacon cheddar wasnt as savory and appetizing as i thought it would be and the strawberry cheesecake liege waffle was kind of hard to eat. Maybe the liege waffle was soaked too much in the maple syrup and hardened...?? The homemade whipped cream was really good and went well with the fresh strawberries, but i think there was too much sweeeeeetness we couldnt really taste the waffle itself. I did like how crunchy and light the brussels waffle was, so next time, i would definitely get the brussels waffle with all the sweet nutella good stuff!

If you're looking for a catering food truck for a small lunch window that delivers high quality and very quick service, I HIGHLY recommend Fire and Rice. Their Hawaiian Asian fusion menu is unique and stands out compared to other Asian or poke trucks I've tried. The garlic shoyu chicken and tuna poke were my personal favorites. I tried some of my coworkers garlic shrimp & Miso tofu too...surprisingly pretty GOOD! With inflation being what it is, their food is absolutely worth the price, and they were also flexible and willing to work within our reasonable budget. I can't recommend them enough.

Their signs hadn't been updated for pricing, but it was 8" for $13 and 12" for $19. Our number got called up pretty quick so we didn't have to wait very long for the pizza to be done (5 minutes tops). Some pepper/cheese packets available for additional toppings. The whole thing was given to us in a pizza box which made for pretty easy transport at the market. It's actually nice they they're not as sauce heavy as other pizza spots (I can't actually partake in tomato anymore, so the fact they had options for me was neat too). We settled on the Chorizo for a more cheese-heavy and tomato free experience. Toppings were very fresh and the bottom/crust had a nice airy crispiness that made it worth eating to the last bite. Had a medium amount of heat to it with the jalapenos, but not too much without them. Remarkably flavorful and really well done (the little chorizo bites were quite popping, but so were the cheese bits). Definitely grab something from them if you're on the hunt for good pizza on the go.

I'd say they weren't perfect, but they definitely were worth the $ and tasty. Consume: Wish they gave you some when you order x amount of tacos like other places, but hey, it's understandable. The consume was pretty heavy handed in (I think) cinnamon and cloves (?). Not that it wasn't good, but it just wasn't what I wanted. It complimented the tacos very well so overall it was good but not great. Horchata: Delicious! smooth, cinnamon-y and just overall good. They executed this extremely well. Torta: OMG this thing was BIG. It looked amazing on the pictures on the truck and it looked amazing when we got it, but it looked better than it actually was. I'd say overall, the looks was a 5/5. The taste was a solid 4/5. Still very tasty, but didn't think it fully hit the mark. Service: The only two people in the truck were SUPER nice and very accommodating however there were a couple of issues on their end. 1) My total was $29. I gave the cashier $40. I was handed $9 back. After saying that I was shorted change, awkwardness ensued. It was an honest mistake and they gave me the right amount back so I just shrugged it off. 2) When I picked up my food, I ordered 1 Taco, 1 Torta, and 1 Combo (3x tacos, 1 Consume, and 1 Horchata). The person who gave me the food didn't give me the Horchata or Consume. Again they were VERY accommodating but I think they need to work out the kinks of their ordering. Overall, a good birria taco truck but with some logistical issues. We'd maybe go back but with so many options, we'd like to try others before coming back here.

The signage is subtle and easy to miss, but once you find it, it's well worth the effort. I first visited during their grand opening and have returned several times since. Without fail, the experience has been excellent. The staff are consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Even during peak hours when the place is packed, I've never waited long to be seated, and the food always comes out quickly. I've worked my way through their menu: doner wraps, kebab plates, and a variety of sides; and every single dish has been a hit. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The consistency here is impressive, which is something I value highly in any restaurant. I already loved Mediterranean food, but BAHO's Turkish offerings really surprised me. Fresh vegetables, bold and flavorful sauces, and perfectly seasoned, savory meats come together in a way that feels both comforting and exciting. Keep in mind that the doner wrap is served in a bag because it can get messy, but if you remember those old Carl's Jr. commercials: "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face". If you're lucky enough to be helped by Boris, you're in great hands. He's incredibly kind, hardworking, and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great experience. On my first visit with my cousin, I told him we had no idea what to order, and he set us up with chicken doner wraps and a selection of appetizers. An excellent introduction to the menu that hooked us. Since then, I've brought my wife, friends, and family here, and every single person has walked away impressed. BAHO Mediterranean Cafe has easily become one of my go-to spots, and I can't recommend it enough. Quick update: It turns out that I posted my review too late, as they've been shut down by the city. What a damn shame.

The chicken itself was juicy and definitely well marinated. The achari chaap was a bit tangy for my husband's liking but had great taste and flavor if you ask me. The Rumali roti was soft and fresh. We also had chai which was creamy and hot! Food came out quite fast even though they had said it would take 15 mins.

Sunny the person at the window was super nice and patient taking our order and didn't mind husband and I going back and forth over what we wanted to eat. Hubs wants to go back and try their chole bhature, and I want to try their chaat items next time.

    Update (04/19/26): What's the point of staying open late if half the menu isn't available?…read more We got back late from a trip and specifically called in to order chole bhature, since this is one of the few places near us open till midnight. However, we were told that bhaturas (and anything fried) aren't available after 10 PM, which was really disappointing. We were instead offered chole kulche, and since we didn't have many late-night options, we agreed. We were told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but when we arrived, the food already felt cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. It got worse when we reached home--the kulchas were burnt, making the meal quite unpleasant. After a long day of travel, this was the last thing we expected. We were too tired to go back, but honestly, this was not acceptable. If you're advertising late hours, the quality and availability should match. This experience was really disappointing.

This place is in downtown San Jose so it does not have its own parking lot but you will need to choose an infrastructure to park at. If you are trying to find this spot, it is next to goodtime bar and tucked away in a somewhat alley, rather than being front and center in street view. There is some seating inside and outdoors as well, so it's friendly to order your meal and hang out while drinking a beer in complement of the sandwich. I ordered the chicken tenders with level 3 heat, while my partner got a classic chicken sandwich. He thought that the classic chicken sandwich would give you an option of spice levels too but default it is just the sandwich itself. Their fries again to emphasize, are spectacular! I think it has something to do with their fun crescent moon shape. I typically do not like thicker steak fries, but man, these were tasty and seasoned amazingly. No ketchup needed. When it came to the chicken dishes, while the tenders were well coated with a good ratio between breading to chicken, I felt like outside of the crust, there wasn't any flavor with the chicken itself (was not salty and I wish it was juicy). They gave me some sauce to pair with it, but personally for me, a good chicken tender should standalone be equally delicious. My partner's sandwich was juicy but again I did wish they soaked the chicken or marinated it a bit more to incorporate more flavors. Overall, this spot was fine for me. I don't know if I would come back for the chicken but if I wanted a snack, I would love to get the fries again. :)
