The Pickled Carrot

Visited this food truck at a bar in Denton. Initially the line didn't look long and the food sounded like the best option available. Once i got in line i was told they weren't taking orders for 10 minutes, no problem i wasn't in a hurry. After 10 minutes they put up a sign that said be back in 15 minutes. I found a nearby seat, drank beer and waited. After some time passed they finally started taking orders again. I got the egg rolls, tacos, fries, and a cheesesteak. The egg rolls were fried crispy with a nicely well balanced filling but they forgot our other order so i had to go back, 4/5. The tacos were good, soft flour tortillas and pork filling 5/5. The fries were mid, they checked the box but nothing special, 3/5. The cheesesteak had soft bread with a crunchy exterior, and delivered everything i expect from a cheesesteak 5/5. All in all it was a frustrating first impression but the food was exceptional. Given the food truck prices, it felt expensive but i think if they got some more help or made their kitchen more efficient it could be a 5 star experience.

Got chicken in the fries this time. Pretty weak serving of protein for what I've seen in other photos. Was still delicious with a superb flavor profile. Would still prefer more protein though.

The service was horrible! The guy seems to only care and give good service if you give him a tip. What am I even tipping for? It's not like you're bringing the food out to me or anything. But after he noticed I didn't tip him he handed me the pager and slammed the window in my face. A couple men came after me, he told them it was going to be a long wait for their food because he just got a 15 sandwich order from online, then complained about it because he doesn't get a tip from that order. I'm assuming those guys tipped him because he said thank you, didn't slam the window in their faces and told them that they could sit at the Mexican restaurant next to food trucks to keep warm. When my food was ready, he practically threw it at me and slammed the window again. This was my first time coming to The Pickled Carrot and it will be my last. I only tried this place because Viet Bites is closed on Mondays and I wanted a Banh Mi.

After reading the reviews I had to try this place, and WOW, did it live up to the reviews!!! I tried the noodle bowl with chicken and the VF fries with chicken. Let's just say..... both were demolished in minutes. The flavor was amazing, however I do wish the serving size was bigger. I'll definitely be back.

Been looking for an outdoor area to enjoy the fall weather. The Austin Street food truck area is great. However, the food trucks left us underwhelmed. We ordered two bahn mis and fries. The sandwich was a little small and could have used more flavor. The fries were decent but nothing special.We were really hoping that the food would be great but it wasn't on par. I would definitely come back to the area for drinks but nothing more.

The service was attentive and accommodating. The ambiance would be nice at night because it located at the food truck area. I believe if you come after a certain time, you would have to be over 21 to enter that area because they serve alcohol inside the area. The food was decent, I got a pork banh mi and a pork noodle bowl. The grilled pork was the star of the show. It was soooo good! I don't like the sauce inside the banh mi because it was too sour. The fish sauce in the noodle bowl was too plain, I would like it to be more flavorful.

Great food, love getting their v fries anytime we go to eastside, they are very friendly to my wife's allegies.

Don't sleep on the v fries! The Pickled Carrot is reliably perfect and delicious. You can't go wrong.

Food was tasty but it was pricey & portion was small. This is a food truck so I don't see how their pricing is justified. I've been to other Vietnamese places with great tasting banh mi sandwiches but 35% cheaper.

Honestly, a spot-on vermicelli bowl in the middle of a food-truck park was unexpected but entirely welcome.
