Review: Dallas Food Trucks

I have always found the idea of eating food from a truck a bit of an interesting trend. When I think of a truck, I think of a garbage truck: a large, chunky and unsanitary vehicle. However, tasting the food at Ssahm BBQ and Yummy Spiedies’ food trucks  has completely changed my mind. Food trucks actually provide both convenience and great-tasting food: what more could you ask for?

Ssahm BBQ is famous for their Korean BBQ tacos which sound like a weird combination, but in spite of what one may think, this Korean-Mexican fusion is amazing and provides a spicy flavor like you’ve never tasted.

The truck menu consists of a choice between four different meats that can each be placed in six different dishes. This lack of variety is the only disappointing thing about this truck.

However, the experience is awesome. The service is quick with a wait of five minutes at most. The tacos, kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage) fries and quesadillas are exemplary. Everything is  very well-cooked and all the dishes have an amazing spicy mayo sauce. Best of all, one taco is only $3, which is great value considering how much Ssahm stuffs their tacos.

There is not much to say other than try Ssahm, because I give the service and the dishes an A. If you are up for something interesting and spicy, this is the truck to go to next time you visit Dallas.

On the other hand, Yummy Spiedies wasn’t as good of an experience. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t anything special.

This food truck sells pizza, chicken and gyros. It actually has a lot of variety, but that is the only great thing about it.

After ordering, I spent 20 minutes waiting for my food. It was not a pleasant experience, especially when people who ordered after me got their meals first.

The food itself was average at best. I ordered chicken with fries, so I guess I shouldn’t have been expecting much. However, the chicken could’ve been cooked better and the fries had way too much seasoning. I definitely didn’t find it worthy of the $8 I paid. I could’ve gotten two more of the heavenly tacos from Ssahm with that money.

Yummy Spiedies gets a C-. It may be a good truck to go to if you are a picky eater, but if you are up for something unique with good service, this truck is definitely not the place to eat.
