| - PLEASE READ MY REVIEW ALL YELPERS.
Now i got your attention. I will point out 5 things you will encounter on this event ( I am saving you next year). Each point are 1 star off the rating. Which means I would give 0 star if I can on this event.
First is the ridiculous parking. I mean I have gone to alot of state fair, alot of other events that have tons of parking problems but this is one of the worst parking ever.
Second the execution. There are so much potential but all ends up being a failure. When we got there, the cooking event was cancel on one hour 1 pm i think. The chef cancelled and the people end up just roaming around. The eating contest is host by a boring lady. The band that the lady keep on saying is " worth the penny you pay" is nothing but a bunch of teenagers singing loudly, out of tone out of rhyme on the mic.
There are alot of lines. I mean it. Its like going to Disney Land but instead of ending up on the line and enjoying your ride, you will either have to pay for a sample or pay for the most expensive one bite burger you ever had. There is so much line I have to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes to make a order on one of the truck. Thats under the sun, on a sandy part of the event. There is limited shade and sittings is so lacking. Never again.
Fourth is the limitation of menus. So you know a truck here? and want their best food to offer? Well guess what, they might not have that on the menu. Most of the Truck have only 3-4 dishes to pick on. One truck in particular have 2 mini burgers, I mean mini, smaller than the fist of my niece. NO JOKE. As for the taste, we have taste more, and mind you we tried alot of this trucks, and there are more places in PHOENIX alone that offer better on taste, on portion, and obviously on PRICE!!!!!!!!!
Fifth and maybe the WORST thing ever about this event. The money you will spend in this event is ridiculous. There is the entrance fee, then there is payment for small portion of samples? THE F? ( costco have bigger portion and they dont freaking make you pay for samples) Water cost is 2 dollars. The cost for desserts will land you from 4-6 dollars. The main course foods which may I say are in small portions ( state fair have bigger portions ) are priced at minimum at 8-16 dollars.
So lets recap:
12 + 2 + 4 + 2 +8 = 28 dollars for one head ( this is when u decide one sample, one drink, one dessert)
For 28 dollars we all know you could have gone and go to a upscaled restaurant and even gave a tip. Also thats just one bite. What happens in dinner? another 16- 30 dollars of food?
For my last note, the advertisement on this event are all false, all of the reviews are probably done by someone who works there. No one in their right mind would like to buy a small cupcake for 8 dollars. Also the token system dont make sense, each token is worth 2 dollars, you pay 2 dollars but whats the worth of this inside? 2 dollars!!!! What? why even have another currency (token) when there is no advantage for the patrons on doing so?
This event made me realize that not all the reviews on websites are not true. Oh and they changed their name thats why I wasnt able to find it on yelp, It was previously named Food Truck Festival (last review was on 2012).
Please I would never want you to go through what I and my family went through. This is a money grabbing event. Your way better off going to state fair. Better yet save it for a good restaurant.
