Curbside Cafe

YES, I attended the @CurbsideCafeLV Grand Opening Celebration 7/24 at 6pm at Hellboys Tattoo on W Sahara Ave/Rainbow Blvd. YES, I was one of the 1st 50 to arrive and get a FREE burger + T-shirt. and YES I am still gonna write a review :)I am really enjoying the NEW #streetfood trend taking place here in #Vegas....I guess after KogiBBQ in LA blew up last year restauranteurs are starting to think mobile foodtruck are a real alternative to traditional sit down restaurants.Being that it was still 100+ at 6pm when I arrived I was content getting my burger,fries and drink and ducking into the first sign of shade I could find.I ordered the Hawaiian Burger & Fries -The girl taking the orders was real friendly and very efficient. The guys making the grub seemed nice as well but seemed focused on making things run as smoothly as possible--not alot of chit-chat:)The food was ready in about 5 minutes and looked GREAT!! The burger was Fresh and handmade with Fresh veggies and the fries hot & crisp!! Delicious!!I wanted to try some tacos but it was damn hot--have to save something for next time right? If you see this guy parked in a shopping center near you--do yourself a favor and stop by!!

Hooray for 2nd Sundays @ Hanshiktaco! Not so much because I love Hanshiktaco. But more because it featured Curbside Cafe, a food truck that I've been wanting to try forever, and Snow Ono Shave Ice, a food bus that I've recently fallen in love with. Valentine's/Haterade Day has nothing on Snow Ono!Anyway, this is about Curbside Cafe. I tried their Blackened Mahi Mahi taco and their Calamari taco. It's only $5 for both. What a great deal! They are ridiculously delicious and a great size. In fact, the mahi mahi is dangerously close to not fitting inside that double tortilla. Yum, yum, and YUM!Usually with food trucks, I wait until I try more items before I give a five. I don't see a point with Curbside. It saves me from having to update my review after I try more items. And believe me, after that incredibly positive experience, I will definitely be trying more items. I really can't see a scenario where my rating drops below a five. Their food looks and tastes that amazing. And Doug is a great guy. Five stars all the way.

Terrific food truck! I especially appreciate the fact it is outside my work everyday. Because I'm a lazy food truck stalker. If you are looking for something different, the calamari tacos are excellent. So is the pulled pork sandwich. But everything here is solid, burgers, fries, whatever. Doug, the owner, does a great job and is super friendly to boot!Lately he's always at 3rd and Lewis next to the RJC during the week, except for Fridays he's at the business Costco on MLK. If you've got jury duty, don't eat in the crappy (and expensive) cafe inside. Brave the joys of security again and go outside for food from Doug!Follow him on Twitter to confirm locations (@CurbsideCafeLV) or check out his website or call!

Mark your calenders everybody, CURBSIDE CAFE is parked at Hanshik Tacos home every Second Sunday of the month! I was excited to hear that Curbside Cafe was gonna collabo with Hanshik and Snow Ono cuz I never had CC before! But now that I have, it's really good! Prices are really cheap for what you get. A more than full size burger for around 6 bucks and an extra dollar for a bed of french fries.I ordered the Baja Burger and the Sonoran Dog, both were HUGE! The Baja Burger had a nice spicy kick AND a punch! Overall a good burger. The Sonoran Dog had a big kosher dog sliced down the middle with fresh, thin, crunchy onion strings on top of it and bacon and pico de gallo. Flavor was definitely there. We didn't have to wait for our food long at all, food came super speedy fast. Curbside Cafe has QUANTITY AND QUALITY! Like Arnold says.. "I'll be bock."

Curbside Cafe frequents my office building often so whenever they stop by, I always try to order from them. I'm all about supporting small and local businesses! Anyway, on with the food.On my most recent visit, I ordered the special which was the Baja Chicken Sandwich. You can add fries to any order for a $1 but that is way too much food for me during lunch = food coma. The sandwich itself was delicious. The chicken was a little on the small side but still packed a lot of flavor. One of my colleagues had it as well and he loved it. Here's a few tips: you can substitute chicken for any of the burgers at no extra charge. I did not know that until recently. Also, they accept all types of credit cards which makes it very convenient when one does not have cash.

Fact: I am predisposed to love anything that comes out of a truck. I've seen Curbside Cafe parked in front of the courthouse downtown many times. However, I am usually in a foul mood when I am leaving the courthouse or it is too early for lunch. I got stuck in court the other day. Boo! But that meant I was downtown at 12 and perfectly positioned to try Curbside Cafe. Yay!I ordered 4 Shrimp tacos and 2 mahi mahi tacos (not all for me, I swear!). The blackened spices were perfect, not too bitter, which can be a problem with blackened anything. Shrimp was smaller but juicy. Same for the mahi mahi. It was on the small side but full of flavor and totally felt like I got my money's worth. The best part was the crisp cabbage and dressing drizzled over the taco. Price was very reasonable as well. Can't wait to try some of their burgers. Also, I eat like a fat trucker and two tacos were more than enough to fill me up!

The food around UNLV, generally, is pretty terrible. Whenever I get the heads up that there's a new spot in the vicinity, I'm usually one of the first to give it a shot. Even the 100+ degree heat couldn't stop me from stumbling in. I wasn't expecting much from a random food truck, but after reading the menu, this place wasn't messing around. It had some legit food; not just some standard run-of-the-mill snack bar food. They had a wide range of wraps, tacos, hot dogs, salads and custom burgers (ranging from Hawaiian burgers, turkey to boca). Prices weren't bad either. For $5, I walked out with two generously sized blackened mahi mahi tacos, which were awesome. I should have added some sweet potato fries for an extra $1, but I guess that'll be for another time.The only downside is walking through the scalding heat to reach this place. There's no AC around, so your best bet is to arrive by car and eat carside with the AC blaring. For the most part, the truck seems to be stationed mainly across the street from UNLV at the car wash lot. Occasionally, there is a special occasion that needs to be catered to, but I see the truck here fairly often. I check up on their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Las-Vegas-NV/Curbside-Cafe/129298443760458) to get a good update on schedules and locations.If you see this place, definitely stop by to try it. Sure, there isn't as much buzz around this truck as there is with the Slider Truck or Fuku Burger, but the food is definitely up there to keep coming back to.

The Mahi Tacos were, aside from being super duper spicy, AMAZING.We were at the Vegas Streats event in down town and cannot recommend this truck, ENOUGH. Try it, you won't regret it :)

I finally tried some of the food from the Curbside Cafe truck at the Costco Food Truck Fest #2 yesterday. Overall I thought it was just okay at best.I tried their seafood tacos. The Blackened Mahi Fish Taco and also their Fried Calamari Taco, the prices charged are $3 each. The size of the tacos were fairly large, but most of it were the fillers (lettuce). The Mahi Fish Stick was about the length of the taco, and a little salty but otherwise has a decent flavor. The fried calamari on my taco were cut quite thin and were overcooked. It did not look anything like the thick juicy fried calamari that Paolo D took a picture of.I will chalk it up to it being an off day and give them a try again when I see them. Since so many people that i follow have nothing but great things to say about Curbside Cafe. Until then...

What a lovely place to settle in the City and have a French style meal prepared and served to perfection. We ordered from the prix fixe menu and enjoyed a light french onion soup, seared salmon on fresh vegetables and an exquisite chocolate mousse for desert. The owner/server was a accommodating without being intrusive and ensured our meal was served in a timely but unhurried manner. We do not live in San Francisco but will return to Curbside Cafe on our next visit.
