Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

We had a group of 75. The Sabroso food truck was terrific. They arrived an hour and a half early to prep. Their burgers were great and everyone enjoyed themselves!!! David was wonderful.

We didn't ask about bbq sauce for the ribs. Not sure if we needed to include that when we ordered- or ask for it when we picked up.

Both the Cuban and pork sandwiches were delicious. The beans were cold but overall the food was excellent. I hope you come back!

There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

It was such a great hit! Everyone loved it and the people that came to serve were unbelievably sweet. Thank you!
