Finally got a chance to grab some grub from Herban Legend this week! Seen these guys around town, at festivals and food truck rallies, but hadn't had the pleasure of checking them out. They were camped out next to NoDa Brewing one evening and it was just perfect. Beer and a food truck. Modern pb&j.
The prices are waaaaayyyy cheaper than I thought they were going to be. Ended up getting the tarragon chicken soup (I had a bit of a cold), a black bean burger and some seasoned fries. All for about $19.
The black bean burger was one of the most unique I've had in town. Where the burger itself had a less than desirable texture, the flavors were great. There had to be some sort of sriracha or chili cream sauce on it. The spice was great and all of the flavors worked very well together.
The tarragon chicken soup was awesome. Flavorful broth, but not overpowered by tarragon, with huge portions of chicken and rice. I was a happy camper with my soup opening a can of whoopass on my cold. Take that, winter! Also, much to my glorious surprise, it came with a half sammy. Just a simple grilled cheese, but it was so good.
The fries: just great. That is all. Didn't need ketchup.
Another perk is that you can pay with Square on an iPad. The fact that you add a tip and sign yourself is much more intuitive for a food truck. Glad to see so many people have adopted this method.
I'm looking forward to the next time I get to sample the fare from Herban Legend.
