| - Ok, long story short...the lines were crazy on some of the trucks. I do not know how anyone can wait in a 30min line for food, let alone a 4hr+ wait for some overhyped White Castle burgers.
The money adds up quick too...$8 to get in (we got the freebie though), all cash trucks, and most dishes avg $6-10.
The food was very hit and miss, even dishes off the same trucks. But there are some real winners here if you look hard enough and get lucky.
Here are the notable food winners I ran into personally :
Lobster Burrito @ Jogasaki :

The lobster burrito was great, but the salmon ceviche taco was boring and had no real flavor. The lobster burrito had a fair amount of lobster in it, and the sauce and sesame rice wrap had great taste. I think it was around $7 for the "mini"
Sisig Burrito @ White Rabbit :

Very very good :P My favorite of the day! The salty and extra fried pork is tamed by the fried egg and rice hiding inside. Everything worked very well together and left me blown away.
Grilled Cheese with Pesto @ Nonna's Kitchenette :

The grilled cheese was great, with a super cheesy Gorgonzola cheese and pesto flavor! Really melt in your mouth, and left a great flavor behind. But the fried raviolis were meh...a bit over fried and were lacking taste.
Halo Halo Fluff Ice @ Fluff Ice

This was pretty good! It had a very light and fluffy consistency, and you can't go wrong with mochi and mangos! This was much better than the Green Tea fluff ice...which was kind of bland IMO...couldn't really taste the tea flavor.
Now for the big question...was White Castle worth the 4hr+ wait???

First off all, just scope out somebody that walks away with boxes of these things...and offer to pay them for their time lol. I paid $10 for 2 of these things, but with zero wait and no sweaty back. I don't quite understand all the hype...the meat tastes artificial...and makes McDonalds seem gourmet. Sorry for all the lovers, but I'll stick with my In N Out for fast food cravings.
Overall, I would say it was worth the trip, but I would not have waited for any of these food trucks for more than 20min personally...I am impatient I guess.
