Food Trucks from all over the valley are now flocking to Glendale Arizona for Food Truck Fridays West. It was free admission with easy close parking. There also was close to twenty food trucks to pick from. It’s almost like going to restaurants….Some are great, some suck, and a lot are in-between.

We were looking forward to trying Le Chef. They offer a lot of seafood dishes and some Mexican tacos. They also have a food truck in Cozumel Mexico so I was thinking that their tacos would be amazing because the tacos I ate on my visits to Mexico were most of the best tacos that I have tried anywhere.

Maybe they weren’t into the groove yet? The steak taco was too chewy, The shrimp taco was missing the guajillo sauce but had something more like mayonnaise on it, and the fish taco was so strong that it could do push ups….and also was dumped with an accidental lethal DUMP of salt.

My husband can eat more than me and also tried Cheese E Wagon for a Philly Steak.

I tried just a little taste of the meat. It was tender but was surprised that it was almost free of onions. I asked about the bread….They use the squishy style Arizona bread and they don’t offer cherry peppers. (everyone that we went to in Philly offers cherry peppers) …Not Philly to us but an OK sandwich.

Tried Bulgogi at Flippin’ Rice. They are a Filipino and Asian Fusion Food Truck.

There is a soft runny egg on the top accented with a little seaweed and sesame seeds. Most of the bulgogi is tender. Some of it is hard and crispy. For me it’s a little too soy sauce forward but the kimchi is very good. The seasoned rice is tasty.

Our favorite of the bunch was the amazing chicken sandwich from the Screaming Hot Chicken Truck by Mingo’s Louisiana Kitchen Truck Food Family. They offer a few different chicken sandwiches with fries and chicken strips.

The FORKING Truth is that we ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich but they gave us their Louisiana Hot Chicken Sandwich. Well that’s what they gave us so we ate it. I already know that it is very good because I had it before. The truth is that it really is even better than I remember. Juicy, perfectly cooked crispy chicken with all kinds of delicious spices and heat play around here. with creamy fresh crispy slaw and soft rich eggy bread to cool things down with a little kick of pickle and (pretty good for) spiced crinkle fries on the side. It was so great that I can’t be mad at them for giving us the wrong sandwich. Maybe we will get to try again?
