Wheelie Gourmet

Not so sure why all these glorious reviews. I can't say I was too impressed by this truck.I've been here twice so far and thought the food was pretty average. I had high hopes b/c the high rating and ordered the original gyro based on the recommendation. When I got my O.G., I wasn't OMG'd at all. Although I am not an expert on moroccan food, my taste buds are experts on food in general. The second time, my friend ordered the Chicka Chicka Bang Bang and offered me some to try. I liked the name Chicka Chicka Bang Bang and thought I was going to do a bang bang dance after putting the Chicka Chicka in my mouth. But again I thought it was A-OK. Apparently my friend was pretty unhappy about what she was eating (that's probably why she offered it to me, J/K). She said one of her close friends is moroccan and she has tasted much better moroccan food than this. All right then, guess it wasn't just me. So, the ultimate question: will I return? Probably not given that another truck at the Alamo Street Eat Bar is my favorite.

After some indulging of the alcohol variety at the Friendly Spot, it was time to grab a bite at my favorite Southtown spot, Alamo Street Eat Bar. In search of something new, I found Wheelie Gourmet's Moroccan-inspired fare. After going over the menu, I asked for the Kefta which was labeled as a "Moroccan Burger." The Chef asked if I wanted to add the special, Candied Bacon. "Of course, I want Candied Bacon!" A few minutes later, this stunner was put in front of me. I took a minute to appreciate it, the warm pita bread, the seasoned meat with a hint of sauce, fresh spinach leaves and oh, yes, emmin-effin candied bacon. The next few seconds were a blur of tastiness, followed by awesomeness and rounded out with fullness. Will be back. Soon.

I have to say that this was an absolute delight and an unexpected surprise for me. Wheelie specializes in a Mediterranean/Moroccan. I am a pescatarian and have recently cut out dairy, fish and bread for the month of January. I have been fortunate to find something to eat at most restaurants. As I approached the truck, my stomach growling; I was doubtful that I might find something this time at a "food truck."We normally have a food truck parked outside our business on Thursday afternoons. Occasionally I venture out and take a gamble. Thursday, I hit the food truck jack pot. Yes, really, I did!I ordered the Zaalouk as a vegetarian option. It consisted of eggplant which was strewed with tomatoes, onions and other unidentifiable but very delicious vegetables. This is served on some seasoned slaw and grilled zucchini and garnished with their very own Wheelie Gourmet pickled red onions. I asked for no cheese, no pita and no onion. Wow-wee; Wheelie Gourmet! You packed a pallet punch and satisfied my taste buds and my growling stomach. I will be back for more of this delicious vegetarian modified option.The price is a little high; $10.00 but it came with bottled water. People in our office were telling me that they don't even like cabbage, but they ate yours because it was so good.

Moroccan Miracle! These guys are rockin' the casbah! Such incredible food! These guys are really from Morocco. I spoke to them about their dishes, turns out that they're from Rabat, and they know their cooking! Morocco is known for its exotic spices. In fact, these guys say that they order their spices straight from the Spice Souk (market) in Marrakesh monthly! I had their chicka chicka bang bang, which was Tangine chicken, spinach, onions in a sorta quesadilla looking package. Delicious! Their sweet potato fries were to die for! For the money, it was a huge amount of food. I seriously enjoyed these guys. So far, this is the only truck in the food park that I've been to twice. It's worth it!

The office lunch crowd picked a good day to hit the Port San Antonio Food Truck Court. This was the first time I've really had to study the menu of all three trucks to make my decision. The contestants were SpiceSea Gourmet, Mars Mobile Kitchen and Wheelie Gourmet. I decided on Wheelie Gourmet, and I was very pleased.I ordered the original Oh G! gyro sandwich on Moroccan flatbread. This turned out to be an excellent choice. The meat was a tender, delicately seasoned mix of grilled lamb and beef gyro, and the flatbread was very unusual--in a good way! The Wheelie slaw complemented the meat very well, making for a complex taste that I really enjoyed. A refreshing San Pellegrino orange soda rounded out the meal very nicely.I look forward to going back to this truck if they return to Port San Antonio. I've got my eye on the Chicka Chicka Bang Bang!

I was extremely impressed by Wheelie Gourmet. I was sold on the Oh G! it was packed with flavor, and the meat was incredibly tender. They were out of pita bread, but chef didn't miss a beat. My Oh G! was served on white bread, maybe Texas toast? However the flavor was front and center. The folks behind the counter are good people; friendly, service minded, and knowledgeable of their ingredients. I really appreciate that, sometimes that's a miss on a food truck. Especially one that was recognized as the best International Food Truck!!

Oh my...where have you been all of my life? If you're at the Alamo Street Eat Bar, don't skip this truck. Eat outside of your comfort zone and be prepared for a pleasant surprise. That's how it happened for me...I don't often have the chance to eat Moroccan food, okay never, and I admit I was hesitant. My friend saw gyro meat on the menu and immediately wanted to try it, and I saw a veggie option featuring eggplant. The leap of faith caught us with open arms. I don't have a clue what the pita/bread thing is beneath the food, but it's amazing. I ate mine like a taco. The eggplant and gyro meat tastes like it was marinated in sweet, heavenly juices for days. It's topped with cucumbers and pickled onions, and sits on a bed of the most delicious cabbage slaw. Nothing I've ever tried is like this...a must try. Wheelie Gourmet, I love you.

As we approached the truck, a guy inside yells "I like your shirt!!" Of course, since it was OU/TX day, I was wearing my Sooners shirt!! I could tell I was going to like this food truck! I had the veggie sandwich, which had some sort of patty on it. (I'm sure it says on the menu!) The bread was great, I loved the grilled veggies and the sauce. Sweet potato fries were great, too!I love the concept altogether. Bio diesel truck serving patrons of the Farmer's Market. Fantastic!

Wheelie Gourmet leaves you wide-eyed and wanting more!Last night, Wheelie Gourmet was at Alamo Street Eat Bar and they served delicious gyros. The O.G. and the Philly was to die for, they were served hot with fresh pita bread. Fast service and they accepted cards (who-hoo!) .Marvelous Moroccan food , hope to see them again in Southtown!

Their Moroccan is rockin'! See what I did there? :) So I had the opportunity to try this food truck this weekend. And I couldn't finish the incredible amount of food they gave me but that Moroccan beef is so flavorful I hated to waste any little bite. I got the special of the day, grilled in a pita like bread and a side of fries (mix of sweet potato and belgian.) The sandwich concoction was hot and gooey and spicy and mouth watering. When you're there, ask them to make recommendations based on what you normally like -- they'll steer you straight to flavor heaven. Like any good american, I love carbs so the mix of sweet and regular potato fries was right up my alley. How they get them so crispy on the outside yet hot and chompable inside is a mystery. And one I would roofie* someone to find out. They're probably the best I've had. When in SA, do the food truck thing and find Wheelie. It's a cool change from all the delicious Mexican you've probably been scarfing. *Just kidding. Drugs are bad.
