Meals on wheels: Food Truck Thursday

Price: $14 | Average Rating: 7/10 The first truck we stopped by was Bowls for Tú, which served Hispanic fusion cuisine including Colombian hot dogs and a variety of mixed bowls. Looking at the menu, we selected the pork rice bowl as our first meal, and it got us off to a great start. Nadia: With pico de gallo and our choice of chipotle and garlic sauces, this bowl came with lots of different...

Price: $8 | Average Rating: 4/10 For our drinks, we decided to try out Tea Social, a boba tea vendor. Nadia: With lots of boba options around town, from Bento to Chewy Boba to BestTeas, this taro milk tea boba was easily the worst drink out of the other shops. Although it was pretty to look at, the compliments ended there. With the taro spread around the sides in order to create the drink’...

Price: $23 | Average Rating: 4/10 Our second truck of the night was Fully Loaded, which served classic American meals from cheeseburgers to French fries. We decided to try their classic cheeseburger and cheese fries, a fan favorite for most, but a disappointment for us. Nadia: The cheeseburger was mediocre at best and did not measure up to other vendors’ offerings. Our biggest concern was t...

Price: $14 | Average Rating: 9.25/10 Our next stop was The Knot, and this truck was packed with creativity and flavor. Specializing in their garlic knot sliders, The Knot had eight different flavor options, ranging from buffalo chicken to Italian. We chose to test out their chicken parmesan garlic knot sliders, and they did not disappoint. Nadia: This box stayed nice and hot, pouring out stea...

Price: $12 | Average Rating: 7/10 After having some disappointing results, Chikiz Empanaditas served us some hope for the Food Truck Thursday review. We ordered five of their mini empanadas, or empanaditas, along with a classic cilantro sauce. Nadia: The empanaditas were brought out in under two minutes and their beef filling stayed steamy on the car ride home. Although we found the tortilla ...

Price: $11 | Average Rating: 4.5/10 While walking down the rows of food trucks, Pho Wheels caught our eyes with their $10.65 fried sushi. Offering this along with noodle and rice bowls, Pho Wheels did not live up to our expectations. Nadia: The sushi itself was barely fried and had no crunch, only an unappealing layer of white crust around the edge. There was the tiniest amount of crab inside...

Price: $6 | Average Rating: 9/10 For our last stop of the night, we decided to get some dessert to put a sugary end to our day, and Nonni’s Mini Donuts delivered just that. We got 10 mini powdered donuts made in front of us, and these little treats were a highlight of the night. Nadia: The donuts themselves were nice and soft, but not overly chewy. The powdered sugar was not overdone, and our ...

  At the end of our food truck feast, we both agreed that The Knot’s chicken parmesan sliders were our favorites of the night. With good flavors, creativity, quick service and a reasonable price, this truck met all of our criteria for a great dish and we would love to try their other options. However, our least favorite of the night was the Tea Social’s taro milk tea boba. The texture of t...
