  • Always great selection, often dubious value. I love the selection that the plenitude of food trucks offers. However... Ostensibly, the reason for operating a food truck is to reduce the cost of doing business since you don't have to pay for a building, for wait staff, for utilities, and all the other overhead costs that a traditional restaurant incurs. You can then pass these savings on to the customer with lower-cost food. However, the reality is that the food trucks charge MORE than traditional restaurants. For example, I can get three tacos for $6 or $7 at Chipotle, better yet I can get two tacos around the corner at Pedro's for $3.50, so why would I want to pay $10 for three tacos from a truck? Are they probably better than my $3.50 tacos? Sure, but double-the-cost better? Sadly no, there are not. I think the food trucks get away with a little overpricing due to the food-truck hype, the novelty, and the fact that mostly all of them seem to have the same relatively inflated prices. If each food truck was delivering exquisite gourmet delicacies, then the prices would perhaps be perfectly justified but most of them are not. Most of them are delivering average fare, perfectly acceptable but nothing special or remarkable about it or the ingredient selection. Given that there are tons of local places nearby serving mostly the same food for less, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to pay more for the same thing from a food truck. The novelty of the event has somewhat of a redeeming value. It certainly serves as an interesting thing to do for lunch to break up the daily M-F routine. Will I go back? I'm sure I will. Will I leave, as usual, wondering at how little food I got for my money? I'm sure of that, too.
