| - I am really, really sorry to break the 5-star review streak. This place was awesome, but tonight they were a part of the Cotswold Trucks Food Truck Rally and I think they were suffering from a mild case of "In the Weeds." Still, they delivered in several regards and I see this place doing outstanding here in the QC.
Yes, they were on shark tank. Uh huh, celebrities have endorsed them. Ok ok, they have a ton of different media logos all over their truck. Hype, hype, hype. I don't care what Mariah Carey thinks, I just want the food!
The rally started at 5:30 and I was there as soon as it started. Sure enough, the new kids on the block already had a line 30-deep and they were churning out food as fast as they could. To my surprise, they were really hustling as the line was moving at a steady pace. When I got to the window I ordered the Lobster Tacos with a cup of New England Clam Chowder.
Wait was about 10 minutes for my order and since this visit was more on a whim, I took my food to my car. First off, Chowder: Wonderful, Velvety, Hot, Fresh. It seemed that every bite had some clam in it, they definitely didn't skimp out on it, and it was seasoned masterfully. Wonderful job on the chowder.
My tacos looked and tasted unbelievably fresh. I think that if 10 years ago you told someone you were going to a church parking lot at night to eat seafood from a big van, they'd think you'd lost it! Nevertheless, this was very, very fresh food! You could pick out every individual note of the pico, and the cilantro-lime sauce was perfect. This is where my review could have been a slam dunk, but fell just a bit short. At first I thought the sauce just wasn't strong and the dish lack seasoning, however as I looked at my tacos, I noticed that two tacos were only partially topped in the sauce. The third taco had only one little drop of the sauce, and it really showed in the overall package. This sauce is the linchpin in the whole dish: Salty, savory, a bit of acidity, the entire dish relies on it for seasoning and every bite needs a bit of it. That final taco missing all but one little drop of sauce was somewhat of a disappointment.
I attest this oversight to the insane line they had tonight. Under more ideal conditions I'm sure this wouldn't be the case. I can tell that they're very passionate about what they're doing and you can't say they aren't putting their all in the effort. Tonight's sample of the menu has me wanting more. I'm a believer, and a follower... Just, keep me interested!
