Great spot for Thai food! I met my boyfriend here for lunch today and really enjoyed it.I ordered the shrimp pad thai (medium) and was immediately surprised by how much we both liked it. The sweet & spicy flavor from the sauce was very well-incorporated into the noodles, and there were a good amount of shrimp included. The only thing I would change would be for the overall flavor of the dish to be a bit stronger. I feel like chili powder or oil would go really well with this one. Also, I really like when places include extra vegetables on top.I plan to be back here in the future to satisfy my pad thai craving! I would also really like to see what else is on their menu & try the fried rice.

Wow. This is legit Pad Thai. I was looking for noodles and saw on social media that the Thai Grub truck was on the Westside off Country Club and Westside. I called them up to order per their instructions on their post and promptly got lost thinking that they were where all the food trucks congregated but they were past the traffic circle near a random ditch. Not sure why since the country club location was well lit and poppin'. They texted me when my order was ready and told me they were closing soon but were kind enough to wait for me. The chicken pad thai was $10.50 with tax, CASH only. I must say my expectations were low but this plate blew me away. I wasn't worried that it wasn't as fresh since I was 20 mins late picking up, as this dish gets better with time to mix and soak all the sauce. The past few pad thai dishes I've had were made at home and the sauce from a bottle since I really didn't want to do the whole rigamarole of soaking tamarinds to make it as authentic as possible. The bottled sauces are wayyy too sugary and so the dish leans sweet. This plate is not sweet, but the flavors of this dish are centered around a sweet-savory fusion. Salty, nutty, slightly sweet tamarind sauce, the thin rice noodles soaked up the sauce and mixed with cubed chicken, green onions, egg, bean sprouts, and roasted ground peanuts and served with a lime wedge. It's definitely not as funky or fermented as the ones I had in Thailand, but it can stand on it's own where I worked in L.A.'s Thai town. I'm a huge fan and I can see myself already hunting down this truck in the future. They have a limited menu and I look forward to trying out the rest of the food. I let hubby have a bite and he was like wow this is really good...then I shut him down by saying he should go get himself some next time.

Good little food truck. I got the chicken Pad Thai and it was very flavorful. They definitely used very fresh ingredients and every single order was made on the spot. The only thing I suggest would be to use more lime. I definitely added more to my own plate, but it would have brought out the flavors a bit more.

Thai grub has done it again!! Love this place and so lucky I live so close by to be able to order all the time! Full of flavor and hands down the best fried rice I had ever had. I constantly craved this while I was pregnant as well they have a Facebook where you can see a menu, you can text the number your order and they will reply quickly! Don't forget to order fast especially on the weekends or they run out of food!

Out of all the food trucks we've experienced thus far in El Paso, this one sticks out the most for me. Though not the best quality thai food, they definitely do some justice for cooking fast food thai out of a truck. It started off for me with their pad thai at a food truck show down recently. Let me tell ya, they know how to feed the crowd! I paid 9 bux for a mountain of pad thai with chicken! You can add another protein such as beef or shrimp for another 2 bucks only and man do they make sure to add it right! Not just a onesie or twosie type of extra shrimp, but a handful! They aren't deveined shrimp tho so for you germaphobia folks, be fore warned!I gave them my vote that day for the showdown since my husband ordered from a BBQ truck for some brisket tacos, about 9 bux as well. Sad, sad lil tacos to ever exist. For 4, COLD brisket tacos, you get this oddly long, shredded brisket with some shredded white cheese. I think Thai Grub definitely pulls thru by a mile there!Alas, even though the Grub satisfies your hunger, their flavors and quality were lacking a bit compared to Tara Thai/thai chef cafe. Their pad thai jus was lacking in flavor with a less savory, more sweet n sour kind of flavor. And their chicken was slightly dry, probably from being pre-cut into cubes and chilled. The curry was also severly watery in texture. Still delicious but threw me off. I especially loved how much shredded carrots and chopped onions and bamboo shoots they throw in! They serve up so much food, its always good for another lunch the next day. Thai tea was also a tad watered down tasting, as if the tea needs more steeping.Watch out for their spicyness! I ordered the mildest but when they make their curry, it will set you on fire still! Thank God for my thai tea to help cool it down some. I enjoy getting this still for lunch by the UMC, especially since my husband works at the el paso childrens hospital. So if he and i meet up for lunch, specifically on Tuesdays which is the day they only do lunches, you will find me there!

The Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai is Legit!Loved their flavor and portion is a good for the price. Minus one star due to it being cash only and during the pandemic who really carries cash anymore? So 4 stars well worth it, just carry your cash in order to buy from here.

THE LITTLE THAI FOOD TRUCK THAT COULDYo Kanye, Imma let you finish, but first I have say that Thai Grub provided better service and personability than most restaurants that I have been to. Mic drop. Now to the feature presentation.Sometimes we find ourselves in the lowest of low situations. Sometimes the stress that we try to control ends up taking over us and we become a shadow of our former selves. In those moments, we can crumble and self destructively fill ourselves with grease and sugar, only to be even more disappointed. Or we can find a second chance. Whether you are studying for long hours or finishing up a tough hospital shift, Thai Grub is the beacon of light that will make everything be alright. It is funny...for some reason, in the most difficult of times, Thai food always seems to be the answer. And if you have not tried it, well, maybe you need Thai food in your life. Now let me tell you what you need to know, so you can be on your way.The FOOD: ENDLESS NOODLES = ETERNALLY GOOD LUCKChicken Pad Thai (+extra bean sprouts): THE HIDDEN HANDHELD TEMPLEI hope you like surprises. When I first received the Chicken Pad Thai, the box was heavier than I thought. Then when I opened it, I saw more food than I thought. Finally, when I dug in, I realized that I received more food than I thought...and I think that is absolutely wonderful. Expect 2 meals out of this box (trust me, I eat a ton) and enough to carry you throughout the day. A mountain of perfectly chewy rice noodles coated in a tangy, sweet, and savoury sauce topped with dry, earthy, and crunchy peanuts as well as refreshing, cool, crisp bean sprouts...it is poetry in motion. The lime adds a refreshing tartness that helps cut down the intense flavors of the wok heat embedded into the noodles. The chicken breast takes on the flavor of the sauce, but was a bit chewy and dry (-1 star). The egg adds a soft, fluffy meatiness that goes well with the noodles. The noodles can become overwhelming, but they put enough egg, chicken, bean sprouts, and green onions to balance everything out. Overall, definitely a great choice if you have a craving for noodles and something that is not fried or grilled.The VERDICT: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYEI know I know...you are probably thinking, how could you review a food truck and compare it to restaurants. Well, I have to give Thai Grub props for executing at such a high level. The husband and wife team do a great job with taking phone orders ahead of time for you to pick up or you can drop by after the lunch rush to order up front. The Chicken Pad Thai with extra bean sprouts is a perfect mix of chewy noodles, bit sized chicken and egg, refreshing lime and bean sprout salad, and crunchy peanut topping. Definitely a salvation for those who have been working or studying those long hours or a nice treat to have once in a while. It is not the life changing Thai food experience that you find in Thailand or a reputable restaurant, but it can be in the right situation.

This is a welcome addition to food choices among local restaurants and food trucks. A small, yet quality selection of Thai noodle dishes are on the food truck menu. Pad Thai and other items use genuine Thai herbs and spices, unlike so many of the other so-called "Thai" restaurants locally.All the dishes sampled were flavorful and priced right.One recommendation: a single order can be divided between two people unless you, personally, have an immense appetite. My wife and I were only able to finish half of our orders in one sitting--with that noted, the flavorful dishes retained their tastiness (richness, spiciness, herbal qualities, etc.) after being reheated the following day.

Delicious!! Fast, good price, good portion. Best Thai food in town. A little hard to find sometimes and odd hours but when you can get it it's worth it.
