Sausagefest made another appearance on the UNLV campus last week.
The menu had some promising choices; I had a hard time deciding what to order. I settled on the longanisa banh mi and ranch fries. My two girlfriends got the longanisa banh mi (she broke my rule of ordering the same thing in a party!) with chorizo fries and baja chicken with fresh cut fries.
There were two registers open which helped speed along the checkout process. One sandwich and fries set me back $7; so I can't complain too much. The food came out super quick too.
The ranch fries were super salty, and they were just okay. They were just fries tossed in hidden valley ranch powder. My friend's chorizo fries were good though. Maybe it was the slew of goodness smothering the fries (chorizo, cheese, jalapeƱos, etc.) but I wished I had ordered those instead.
The sandwich itself was just okay. I didn't think it was that spicy honestly. The longanisa was overpoweringly fatty and I felt the sandwich was a tad one note. It was missing the spicy jalapeno kick and salt from the pickled vegetables. Although I could see garlic chili paste on the sandwich, I couldn't really taste it - and my heat tolerance isn't even that high.
Overall, it was okay. I would probably try something else off the menu if I ran into the truck again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find them.
