"Dulce’s food truck provided a top notch experience for our 30 year class reunion. Food quality was amazing and affordable and they were flexible with the time, staying a little later than intended to accommodate some late arriving guests. Highly recommend for your next event!"

"The food, the team, the service! Everything was perfect!! Such a fun way to serve food at our son’s high school graduation party."

"Daniel was amazing!! So kind and accommodating. The food was DELICIOUS!! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the baked potatoes, which we were all excited for, were not available until more than an hour into the event. It would have been great if they set up earlier to start cooking the potatoes knowing they took so long to prepare. Overall, they were a huge hit and definite asset to our son’s graduation party."

"What a treat to have this amazing truck at our son’s graduation party!! Early on our guests started with delicious drinks and when they had finished dinner from the savory trucks, the fried Oreos, ice cream, and funnel cakes, were a HIT!! Everything was delicious and Mark was wonderful to work with."
