A changing variety of food trucks from all over the valley gather at Food Truck Friday West in Glendale Arizona. (5pm-9pm 18551 83rd Ave Glendale AZ ((between the Sam’s Club and Walmart)) check www.GetLocalArizonaEvents.com for current food truck line up) Besides food truck they also offer a bounce house for children, and a children’s train ride.
On my most recent visit I notice that they offered some farm animals to pet.
I saw the Que Chevere Venezuelan Cuisine Food Truck.
They offer empanadas, arepas, plates, and more. I really enjoyed the arepa reina pepiada (chicken salad with avocado stuffed white corn arepa) that we shared last time and had one again. It also comes with plantain chips, a salsa, and a creamy ranch style dip.
I think it’s a really great chicken salad! The white corn arepa adds such a great taste here.
We did try a chicken and a beef empanada.
One was seasoned moist shredded beef the other moist shredded chicken with a salsa and a creamy ranch style sauce. They are both good with the added salsa. These aren’t dainty. They are very bread-ee to fill you up.
Next I thought I’d try the Columbian version of an arepa from Wow Que Rico Columbian Food Truck.
It taste so completely different that it is impossible to compare. The arepa taste like a corn tortilla and is crunchy but also soft. The chicken is shredded but slightly tough and covered with creamy sauces.
They do offer other foods like Columbian sausage, fried yucca, fried pork skin with potatoes, empanadas, and other combos.

My husband liked the thought of sliders and went to Detroit Coney Cruiser.
They offer Detroit Coney Dogs, sliders, stuffed pitas, and fries. After he ordered his sliders they were ready in FOUR minutes.
They came on steamed buns with grilled onions, American cheese, pickles and mustard.
My husband gave them an A-OK.

I didn’t eat everything you saw here so I had room to try one more thing.
We tried one chicken taco from Good Eats Only Mexican Food Truck.
Tonight they offered a limited menu of a few tacos, burritos, quesadillas, a chimichanga, and fries.
WOW! It might not look like much but this really is one of the best chicken tacos that I have tasted in Metro Phoenix. It’s unusually GREAT! The chicken is moist, a bit charred tasting, developed with flavors, and is delicious! It’s topped with a good chunky guacamole. The tortilla is also hand made and also is a much better tasting tortilla that what you usually get. It’s also enhanced with the lemon and hot sauce (looks house made?)
