I thought it would be lots of fun to try the food from the Spice It Up Food Truck. They specialize in Flavorful International Food. We enjoyed watching them on the Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race and were hoping that they would win because everyone said their food was delicious and they won many of the challenges on the TV Show. I also felt good about ordering food here and had no fear about them being a "roach coach" because they displayed a current grade "A" Maricopa Health Code Inspection.
We ordered three things to share.
Chicken Tikka Masala - The white meat chicken in the dish was moist but the sauce was oddly mild and mostly tasted like tomato. The crisp was tasty but greasy and the dish was about 75% rice.
Lentils- Very nice presentation but again very mild with little flavoring. Not bad.... but after a spoonful or two... there was no reason to go on. Again about 75% rice.
Thai Red Curry - Lots of fresh crisp vegetables BUT NO SAUCE AT ALL. DRY CHICKEN only mildly scented with curry flavors. NO HEAT AT ALL. About 50% rice. EPIC FAIL
If you prefer your food without heat and on the bland side you will find the food delicious.
They sure need to live up to their name and SPICE IT UP!
