Peasant Food Manifesto

The theme of this truck is a global fusion and offers an extremely unique menu. I ordered the Shakshuka ($9), which is their most popular item.A hearty tomato sauce with crumbled chorizo, onion and feta cheese made up the bottom layer of the dish. The sauce was extremely flavorful, and packed a medium heat. It was topped with a bed of kale, which was covered with an egg (requested well-done) and a generous piece of flat-bread. The kale was cooked perfectly - tender and slightly crunchy. Kale normally has somewhat of a bitterness to it, but the sauce made it milder.I did expect the Shakshuka to have a larger portion of chorizo...there was probably about 5x more veggies than meat. The entire meal itself was pretty filling since it included the egg and bread, but it was also very saucy.However, I would consider this one of the healthiest options that I have seen offered by a food truck as it balanced out all food groups!The owner was very friendly by greeting customers and taking the time to introduce the menu items. Overall, a generous lunch portion and savory flavors at a reasonable price!

I got the Vegan Shakshuka with the $2+ added for extra kale.If it weren't for that extra kale I would have just donated this to nature.It was just a pile of tomato sauce with a few chunks of stewed tomatoes in it and some corn tortillas on top. Not really worthy of a picture since I'd rather not remember it.The staff was very nice though.

I typically shy away from fusion cuisine because my experiences have usually been a miss. That's why I was especially intrigued with Peasant Food Manifesto's menu of "global fusion" dishes.The food truck is hard to miss with its bold color and graphics. You can find the truck in downtown Seattle on Tuesdays across from the City Target on 2nd and Pike. My coworker and I wanted to beat the lunch rush and came by a little after it opened at 11AM. The "Pho-Renchy" Dip Sandwich caught my attention instantly. Deconstructed pho in a sandwich form?! Sign me up!!! At $10, the sandwich is hearty and filling and in the typical downtown lunch price range.The sandwich itself is a healthy serving of sprouts, roast beef, cilantro and hoisin sauce in a French baguette. It kind of reminds me of a sproutier version of a banh mi sandwich. The French Dip influence comes into play with the pho aus jus, which does taste a little differently than typical pho broth (but still good!)The lady at the food truck said that the shakshuka was its most popular dish - I'll definitely be coming by again to try it! :)

Shatshuka was goodQuesadilla was super cheesey- I expect most would appreciate this. It's probably the most "kid-friendly" option on the menu, and not an inexpensive one since it's such a large portion. Best for sharing imo. The main reason I felt compelled to review: Buffalo chicken Sammy- super dry. Honestly it was inedible.. even smothered in sauce. I added more hot sauce. Still nope. It's too bad because I love the concept of this place . I think they should consider 86ing the chicken from the menu. I browsed and saw other negative reviews about the chicken specifically (in taco and sandwich form) This is the second time we've tried this place. Maybe third times a charm?

Food Truck visit my employment frequently. Decided to give in and give it a try. Placeed on line order for 3 items around 1115 and order was ready by 1125. Whike the food was good. When i tried the "chicken sandwich" i knew it wasn't chicken, consumed it anyhow. 1. I hate to return food 2. The wait can sometime be 20 minutes plus and that defeats the purpose of the advance order in my book. Moving the kimchi to the side, the taste wasn't bad earns 1 star and service 1 star. Accuracy meh.

The food truck made its way to my work today so I ordered the Hawaiian tacos (pulled pork with pineapple slaw). The pork was nice and Smokey, but there didn't seem to be much flavor to the pineapple slaw. Maybe it's just because it isn't pineapple season, but it all just tasted like cilantro. I'd give it another try if they came around, the pork tacos sounded pretty good too.

Absolutely amazing food. Definitely enjoyed the Korean cheese steak. I'd definitely do it again

I'm sorry to say that I was not impressed. I had a Korean cheesesteak and personally it was not my cup of tea. It also did not sit well and I tolerate spicy food really well. When I think peasant food I also don't think Asian fusion. So that was a little weird. Just know that it's spicy and drunk you will probably love it but as the DD I was not impressed. I was really looking forward to trying this as I love Asian style dishes.

Not impressed. I felt bamboozled after seeing a great photo of a Pho French Dip sandwich on their website for $11 that looked really yummy. After I got my sandwich and sat down to eat, I saw it was like 90% sprouts with a bit of sauce and meat. Add tax and tip (yes, I tip food trucks because people work to live) and no side given with the sandwich, I felt ripped off. Add that the meat was cold, and that was a bad experience all around. This was the first time I ordered from Peasant Food. There may be other things that are better. The menu is small and some of their combos are a little out there like kimchi mac 'n cheese but that could be great. Give them a try and see. Just inspect your food before you leave the truck.

I had the kimchi mac and cheese, and it was just OK. I wanted to like it, but the flavors just weren't there.
