Qspresso

Food Truck Time: Qspresso at the Downtown Raleigh Food Truck RodeoFresh and delicious food, Boyfriend and I were very impressed with this food truck. Went with an order of the Chicken Empanadas and Maduros, both tasted fantastic. Definitely recommend and I can't wait to try a few other menu options.

How have I missed this one? It's a bright green truck!!Qspresso was outside Fortnight Brewery. Not that I would have paid attention, except that my neighbor suggested I give them a try . She's been stalking them for their cubanos every chance she gets. The menu is centered around Cuban and "Latino-inspired" food. Not being in the mood for a cubano, I went for the quesadilla. Although it's called a quesadilla, it's more of a turnover. And, it's really good. It's corn masa and doughy. Filled with onions, mushrooms and queso fresca, it also had some some nice sliced onion (I think they were pickled?) on top. I finally understand why my neighbor is a fan of Qspresso. I might be now, too. As you would expect by the name, Qspresso also has coffee. I should have ordered that too, but it was late in the day and I opted for sleep instead.

I saw this food truck at my work and as soon as I saw the Cubano on the menu, I knew instantly that is what I wanted for lunch. They grilled up the cubano to order and the cheese was perfectly melty and the buttered bread had some great crunch. There was a decent amount of meat and it really hit the spot.Also, the service was great too. It was a little drizzly that day so they didn't have too many others to serve, but my sandwich came out quick. And the person who took my order was very nice. I definitely plan to try out more of their menu as there were a few other items that were tempting. We don't have too many Cuban food options in the area so this food truck is a nice addition to the Triangle!

Qspresso is one of our favorite food trucks in Durham. The empanadas with the cilantro sauce are fantastic. Always have great flavor. The maduros are also consistently some of the best plantains around. THEN. On top of that they have awesome specials. My fav was the arroz con pollo. good people good food!

Great coffee, mediocre food, but don't ever hire them for an event. Absolutely unprofessional. I've had 3 opportunities with 2 different organizations to hire this truck for events and the owner flaked out each time. First time she tried to cancel the night before but I guess was guilted into showing up. They seemed to have a good day of sales and the owner asked that we consider hiring her again next year. Which we did. The second time when I checked in a couple days prior to the event, she said she didn't have us on her schedule and wouldn't be available. I forwarded her the confirmation she sent and she said the QSpresso truck couldn't make it but she'd send another truck. We hired her for coffee; she sent us enchiladas - for an early morning event. And now I'm nervous about the 3rd event we had with this truck but remained optimistic that these instances were exceptions and not habits. The third time she cancelled about a week or two prior to the event after we had already included the truck in all our promotional materials. She said she had to reschedule another event that had been cancelled due to weather even though she already had us booked/confirmed for that date. There won't be a fourth time and it's unfortunate that she contributes to the flaky reputation that food trucks sometimes have.

The qspresso food truck came to my work and I was pretty excited to try the cubano since a fair number of reviews praised it. So I ordered the cubano for lunch and 2 beef empanadas to split with my fiance for dinner. The cubano was super disappointing. I always compare cubano to an amazing one I had in Chicago and this did not come close. The pork wasn't very flavourful and the ham was gross! Taking the ham off definitely improved the sandwich but I still want able to finish it. The mustard was overwhelming the whole sandwich and the outside of the bread was covered in grease. The empanadas on the other hand were actually pretty good and the chimichurri sauce was alright. I liked the subtle sweetness of the filling inside the empanadas but I wished the sauce had a bit more of a bite. I'd come back for the empanadas but not for the cubano.

We were blessed to have them stop by my work for lunch. My husband is usually the lucky recipient and I get some jealousy inducing lunch pictures, but not today!! Very friendly service and delicious Cuban food, which is a little hard to find in this area. They really do make a good cubano. Growing up in Tampa makes me a bit one sided in the Tampa v. Miami debate. Yes I do like it with salami and a little mayo, but I'm also not crazy and still very much enjoy it with ham. I think with a slightly crunchier/longer toast and more pickles this would really hit the spot. Their mojo was super tasty and I look forward to trying all their other offerings.

Delicious, perfect empanadas ! Crispy, yet tender crust, flavorful, juicy picadillo filling served a fresh chimichurri dipping sauce were both outstanding, perfect in way. Cubano was also top notch delicious! crispy bread , lean pulled pork, ham, melted cheese, mustard and pickles, best Cubano and I've rhad! Worth a special trip. Plus the people running it were genuinely friendly and fun! Thanks Courtney and everyone!

I found their food truck at the Artsplosure event in Raleigh and it was such a treat. I only tried the Cochinita Pibil but it was phenomenal. The garlic aioli (or similar sauce), the pickeled onions, toasted bun, and delicious slow-cooked pork was a wonderful combination. Getting to Raleigh is a haul for me so I'm glad they are a travelling food truck. I can't wait to try some of their other options too!

Long overdue, but I'm so glad the owner's willing to make vegetarian substitutions on the Cubano: tostones and maduros in place of the meat and a great dipping sauce on the side! It's really the best veggie sandwich I've had; everything's fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend!
