If you were a fan of Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race Series than you might have watched the Spice it up Food Truck from Scottsdale Arizona winning most of the challenges.

The Spice it up Truck set up at the Scottsdale Arts Festival in Scottsdale AZ so I thought I’d Check them out. My husband and I were pretty excited to try them because we were already a fan from watching the TV Series and also we LOVE Flavorful Spicy International Food.

I noticed that the Spice It Up Food Truck Proudly Posted a Grade “A” Maricopa Health Inspection so I had no worries about this food truck  being a “Roach Coach.”

So we order three things to share.

The Chicken Tikka Masala was oddly mild coming from a truck called Spice It Up. The white meat chicken in the dish was moist. The sauce tasted mostly of tomato. The crisp that came with it was greasy but tasty. The bowl was about 75% rice. This was sort of a toned down chicken tikka masala and not what I was expecting from Spice It Up. Still it was tasty and to me it was the best of what I tried.

Lentils- Nice presentation. Not bad but very mild also mostly just rice.

Thai Red Curry Panang Style – Nice fresh crisp vegetables but dry white meat chicken and with only the mildest flavors that resembled red curry. This dish lacked any sauce at all so it was just dry instead of saucy like it should be. Also it was made without heat. Another dish that was a surprise from someone called Spice It Up because-

They needed to forking Spice It Up!

Anyone would enjoy these dishes if you never had them before because everything was fresh and mild flavors were present. The food seemed to come from a clean atmosphere and the people working there were pleasant.

For my taste they forking needed to Spice It Up!

I felt that the food truck should read- We DON’T Spice It Up!

Rated 1/2 a Fork because it’s a mix of good and not so good to me.

I note this is just my forking opinion and your forking opinion may differ.
