Potato King

My family found ourselves in NRHs because we needed to pick something up from a store out that direction. I did a quick google search and found the Potato King truck. It was located in the parking lot of a strip mall.I was thinking this was all just baked potatoes but they did also offer loaded fries, tacos, burritos, tortas, and quesadillas. The portions are quite large, the young lady helping us order was also very friendly and explained everything to us. My wife and I got small potatoes which was plenty, the large was huge based on the tin that it came in. I got a 2 meat of shrimp and steak with broccoli, my wife got the chicken bacon ranch.Mine was perfect, very hot still, and flavorful. My wife was equally as flavorful but hers was a tad bit spicy. Our daughters got a burrito and quesadilla which were equally as flavorful. We wanted to come back to try the other items but that will have to wait for another day. Definitely worth the drive. Remember it's a food truck so you can either take it to go or just eat in your car!

Yummy!! Came here the other night and now I just want more and more! I've never had a loaded potatoes from a food truck but boy oh boy it was creamy, full of toppings and just overall exceptional. I got the shrimp, bacon and broccoli one and not one bit was I disappointed. I also got a beef taco. The meat was excellent! My only complaint was that the tortilla wasn't very cooked. A bit on the raw side.Overall this is a very cute taco truck. The service is great. They give you a vibrating disk so you can wait in the car for your food.I'll be back!

Solid 3 stars, maybe 3.5? First, we look this outdoor music and food truck venue. Food 171 is great for kids and adults alike! We got the large baked potato with chicken, and the chicken was good! Not greasy, tender, just simple! The potato was perfectly cooked which was super impressive. I just wanted something more. Cheese, butter, sour cream, chicken, green onions, pickled jalapeño, and corn. It was fine, but I wanted something different, something more flavorful. Something to set it apart from others. I think if I had gotten it was pastor it would have possibly had that flavor I needed? They advertised the potatoes as the best in the area, but eh? We got the pastor taco, and it was solid! Decent flavor and simply done! Nice price for a smaller street taco, onions and cilantro, and it wasn't greasy or fatty. A solid taco, and I would get it again over the potato any day! Overall, this was fine. If we went back to Food 171, I would go back for the tacos and would be open to trying a specialty potato, but leaning towards the taco than the potato for sure. I wouldn't run back to go to this truck, but I'd be open to it! P.S. Staff was very kind, friendly, upfront about the wait time, and did a good job!

Super slow service... waited over 25 mins for food. When I asked how much longer I was told, 10 more mins. Make sure you plan for the wait. I believe you can order ahead, which may help.Update. I in no way asked to be served before anyone. I asked for wait time after waiting. I was never told our food would take 30 mins. That should have been told when we were ordering. Others are saying food is amazing... I didn't get the chance to taste the food.. so I can't speak to that. Plan ahead if you are going..

Food & Service is great! Potatoes are amazing! Full of flavor and enough to have left overs!!

We were looking forward to order some loaded potatoes and was turned down due to them closing and mentioned they were out of potatoes. This was about 7:45pm and the hours posted are 11am-9pm. I mean they do sell other items on their menu which they didn't give us a chance look. Giving one star for the customer service!! Since I couldn't order any food.

We went and ordered a few things just for all of us to try them. The chicken quesadilla was a big hit, the loaded fries (chicken) were really loaded with chicken and tasty. But the star of the show were the street tacos (barbacoa/pastor) and the Limon Fresca.

So happy we found this food truck! This whole time it's been close to us and we had no idea! The portions are HUGE!!! My husband and I will be coming back!!! I'm a potato girl!!!!

Delicious & fresh!! I was not able to finish my food bc I was so full !! Definitely going back soon ‍

The Potato King!!! I'm impressed! I had a loaded with combo birria (new offering) and steak. It DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT!!! I was just in a potato mood, and it doesn't get much better than this. Both meats were good, the serving was large, the people were friendly...well done and I can't wait to go again!
