| - One of my friends asked me to get sliders from the Sildin' Thru truck, and at the time, I thought to myself "what's the big deal about sliders?" However, that time I went, along with each successive time I have gone, I have always been greeted with the delicious smell of sliders and fries and the obligatory fist bumps from the workers and owner (who does drive along with the crew). Food trucks are a bit of a recent phenomenon here in the valley, and Slidin Thru is one of the trucks trying to capture that popularity like what you would see in Los Angeles.
My personal favorite slider is the Barby, a western style slider with bacon, bbq sauce and crispy onion strings. They make each order fresh, so it does take awhile, but again, that's a good thing. They also have mystery sliders which vary at every location. The one time I got a mystery slider, the pastraminator (a slider loaded with cooked pastrami), I was simply amazed. The fries are great too, and they put some special seasoning on them which tastes delicious.
You can tell that the owner cares greatly about his customers. Customer service is top notch, and he frequently communicates to people via twitter and facebook. That alone is one of the reasons that keeps me coming back.
Since they opened their permanent 24 hours headquarters they cut back a bit on their truck hours and locations. I have yet to go to the HQ, but I do prefer actually driving to the truck. I like the adventure of actually finding the truck, and eating inside your car or on the curb. When I actually visit the HQ, I will post a review on that page.
For what it's worth, you owe it to yourself, local or tourist, to make at least one stop at the Slidin Thru truck. And it's a mobile truck that belongs to our city :).
PROS:
One of the first food trucks here in Vegas
Amazing customer service and interaction
Reasonable prices
Delicious food
Usually touch each area of the city every week
CONS:
You can be there awhile with long lines and the fact that they make your food to order. But then again, not necessarily a bad thing :).
THE VERDICT: I am addicted to this place!
