The Chef Truck

Had the Cubano & Medianoche sandwich. Tried to get modifications on it but they said it wasn't allowed. Came out relatively fast, smoking hot. Theres enough seating and it's right in the heart of the Park MGM Casino. Was it out of this world? NoWould I return? Absolutely I'd put it right on par if something you might eat at an Earl of Sandwich fast casual spot.

Stopped here for a quick breakfast and was not impressed. I tried to order a Bacon/Egg/Cheese without the bacon, which they said "no modifications". I was surprised they couldn't exclude an ingredient (was not asking for substitutions). Anyway, ordered the breakfast burrito with tofu and it was meh, and I couldn't find any eggs in it. Ate a bit and tossed the rest-not worth the $20. Skip this spot and find something else.

* Vegan review * TLDR: you can get a tofu burrito here, but it's bland. You'll need salt and a boatload of salsa verde on the side. Really friendly, helpful service, and I asked a million questions to see if I could even order here. The food was meh but would have been good if it were salted and I had endless salsa verde to drown it in. I got the breakfast burrito with tofu, which after all my questions was determined to be vegan. Side note: the menu mentions potato, and they no longer put potatoes in the burrito; apparently the potatoes and cheese were combined, so no cheese, no potatoes. So a breakfast burrito without egg & sub tofu is vegan. It has rice, fried tofu, a couple pieces of plantain, a tiny bit of salsa, pickled onions, radish, and lettuce. The burrito had more tofu than expected, so the Protien to rice ratio was nice. What wasn't nice was extremely bland tofu- just plain friend tofu, not even salted. I mistakenly assumed that since they do cater to vegetarians and had a mojo tofu sun option on the menu, that mojo tofu meant it had some kind of seasoning. I did ask for extra salsa on the side, but the tiny container fell and didn't get me past the first few bites. Salsa in the burrito was barely perceptible and didn't help the flavor much. I appreciated that I was even able to get a tofu burrito here after days in the casino eating protien deficient catered food, but my conclusion is that even for the vegetarian items, this place must really lean on dairy for flavor. If you go here, ask for excessive amounts of salsa verde on the side, and grab some salt while you're at it.

By far the worst grilled cheese Ive ever had!The grill was definitely not hot enough. The bread was soggy and oily. The texture was all wrong. Greasy in the worst way. Cheese was lack lustre. Needed more flavour.Carl Casper would never have made or served this meal.The tostones had similar issues very greasy but not crispy. Needs to be cooked at higher heat. Were these from frozen?! Hella dry and no salt added. Bland and bad; I know plantains, I was raised on them. Please don't call these things tostones.I literally couldn't finish either and i was hungry AF.Jon Favreau I love your movie, but I hated this food truck.

Honestly liked the food here better than the Eataly food court. The items are pretty affordable for a food place on the strip and they were quick too.While the sandwiches aren't exactly what you see from the movie, I thought they were tasty. We tried a few things and each one were flavorful and filling.

I was super happy to see Austin midnight added to the menu and so sad when I actually got it because it's not what they had during PBR in October 2024. The molten chocolate cake was surprisingly delicious and light not to sweet as you might expect for chocolate. The staff here is always amazing and friendly. There was plenty of open seats this time and we went Friday 6:30pm normally the crowd is wild.

What would Chef Casper do? I ordered their Chef Truck Cubano, and it was disappointing. It came with tofu, eggplant, portobello mushroom, cheese, pickles, salsa verde, and mustard in a butter roll. The salsa verde, mustard, and pickles were the only flavors in the sandwich, and they weren't enough to save it. The tofu, eggplant, and mushroom added texture without taste. Their mozzarella cheese croquettes were also underwhelming. They came with a green sauce that may have been their salsa verde. The flavor was flat. My Fiancé had their Pork Medianoche, and that was OK, too. It was missing something, though, and we can't figure out what. The service was excellent, which made giving this review more challenging. There was plenty of seating. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our meal. We love the movie but will pass on the truck.

Seeing the truck was really cool, loved the reference to The Chef.Only item we ordered were the nachos and they were plain since one of the people in our party had an allergy to the marinade that's used for all the meats. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing, and for the price it was too expensive to ever get again.The cashier was friendly and our food came out quickly, but wouldn't recommend ordering from here. If anything, it makes for great pictures but not satisfying food wise.

This is a concept restaurant - looks like a food truck inside the hotel. Very convenient if you are staying at Park MGM or just passing through. The menu has a very Cuban influence. I got the breakfast burrito that had plantains and rice and pork. I got a side of the spicy watermelon which was a huge serving. I feel like the food options are reasonably priced (especially for Vegas)!

A food truck in a casino?! Never thought I'd see that! Great idea! There was table seating, air conditioning and all the comforts of a restaurant without it being a formal restaurant. Casual dining indoors. Love the concept - gourmet food but not fancy. This collaboration between Hollywood Director Jon Favreau and Roy Choi was so cool to see in real life!! I've been a fan of Korean Chef Roy Choi and have chased his food trucks (Kogi) before in CA, so to find another one in Vegas was a real treat. This Korean-Mexican fusion menu was so creative by design. Showcased all the Hallmark favorites of any great food trucks - ingredient packed cubanos, signature grilled cheese from the movie, simple yet flavorful rice bowls, small bites and croquettes as well as specialty beverages (I grabbed a watermelon aqua fresca). I had ordered the signature Cubano - The Chef Truck Cubano. Surprisingly vegetarian - which the classic Cubano is normally meat heavy. This Cubano packed a large portobello mushroom, eggplant and grilled tofu with mustard and pickles. It was bursting with flavor and you didn't miss the meat. The tangy salsa Verde was the perfect compliment to the Cubano if you wanted to add more flavor or to dip your chips (fried plantains). Which I totally did. The ham and cheese croquettes were delicious and a filling appetizer with 5 pieces in an order. My kiddo didn't want to share it. (Thankfully she gave me a taste...so good)! And the arroz con pollo was the special rice bowl of the day this visit. Mexican rice, pickled red onions, and really flavorful chicken. Accompanied with that awesome salsa verde on the side. Everything was delicious - such a satisfying meal from a food truck. And now that it's a permanent installation in the Park MGM Casino, you can try it anytime. Opens until late and they even serve breakfast. This is a must see in Vegas. Great food that's not fancy!
