| - This is a perfectly acceptable food truck to eat at if you happen to be very near/passing by it. It is not worth hunting down, searching for, or otherwise actively getting to. Don't get me wrong: it's not bad, just not exceptional or warranting anything more than three stars.
I ordered a chicken burger and a poutine; the former because I was warned off of their hamburgers by Avitania B., and the latter because the other reviewers have raved about them. The chicken burger was acceptable, but not special. There was no mayo available, the lettuce was somewhat wilted, and the tomatos were nothing to write home about. The chicken itself was tender but also was deep fried: don't expect this to be a healthier option! The bun was unexceptional as well. I've had remarkably worse chicken burgers in the city (such as down along the waterfront) but being 'not-the-worst' isn't exactly high praise.
The poutine wasn't bad. It's not something that you could really rave about unless (a) you dismiss the potential for getting excellent food from a food truck; (b) you've never had truly excellent poutine. I have had excellent food from a food truck before, preventing me from taking advantage of (a), and my numerous Quebecois colleagues have spent so much time teaching me about poutine (and finding me the good stuff along the West coast) that I can't fall back on (b) to help spruce up my review.
So, how was the poutine? It was ok at best. They do use a healthy amount of curds, though none are so fresh that they squeak, nor will they all be hot or even warm by the time they get served to you. This is exceedingly disappointing because you get nice hot fries and gravy that are contrasted by very cold cheese. The fries themselves aren't bad - far better than most fast food restaurants, for sure - but lacked anything that made them truly special. The same can be said of the gravy: it would stand out against something from Burger King but lacked the hearty richness that I really look for in a gravy. It was also somewhat lacking in salt, though I admit that saltiness of gravy is often a pretty subjective thing.
So, would I go there agin? Maybe, if I was walking by and happened to be hungry. I wouldn't go out of my way to get food from it (as I did this time) and would suggest that there are far better places around this area of get your fill of fast and cheap food.
