Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from event organizers who booked through Food Truck Club
"Food truck was good! The individuals running the truck were hospitable, they arrived early, and all of our guests were satisfied. We got tacos, churros, and elote. My only critique is that the chicken tacos were incredibly dry. The al pastor and asada tacos were much better."

"The Route 66 Mobile Diner was excellent! The food was fresh and delicious, and everyone loved the sodas. The caterers were so friendly and accommodating. And the music was such a nice touch for our office luncheon! I would highly recommend!"
August 2026
"The staff that ran the truck was very friendly. The truck showed up ahead of time, probably about 1/2 hour before we were to begin serving and we went over the scenario in case we were to go over the amount requested. The wait was short and the food was good. The only downside I saw was that, at times, the cheese was not completely melted on the sandwiches. Otherwise, a very good experience with this vendor."
