The Bacalaitos were horrible and expensive. They were hard disks and tasteless. Will never go to his truck again. 9.00$ for two?? Picture show three. Never again. Should be ashamed of themselves. No thank you. Will never go to your shop. Don't bother coming to the college anymore.

So their food truck was on JBMDL today and was curious of it… it did not disappoint. Had the “ Big Papi” Cubano and that sandwich hit the spot! Tender pork, crunchy bread, melty cheese, this sandwich was one of the best Cubanos I’ve had in a long time. Wish they were closer to my hotel so I could try other things as well. Highly recommend trying if you’re in Jersey. The $18 for it was worth every penny!!!

Very small place.It only has 2 small tables that can fit 4 skinny customers.The food looked good but the taste barely had a Puerto Rican taste. Kind of a boring taste also on the pricey end.Perhaps the cooks are used to prepare burritos or tortas, not using the Puerto Rican condiments or seasoning.Meh! Parking: In my opinion, the Bacalaitos Fritos was the item that I enjoyed the most.

Went to Fire & Ice Festival in New Egypy Sun 2/4/24.Love cuban food, lived in South Beach & decided to treat myself for over priced food, I believed it would be very good due to amount of business compared to other food trucks there.They worked hard & were very busy. In one hr., I watched immense amounts of purchases!! They did VERY well in 60 min as my group were sitting on nearby bench.My group went to other food trucks & were very happy with their food & paid less. LB had long lines & CONSTANT sales. Great, I love supporting small businesses.HOWEVER, I waited over 25 min for ONE simple overpriced platter.People ordering large orders after me were receiving orders quickly.Finally I spoke up, & said, I think my order has been forgotten, waiting half hr.Older guy (owner?), without apology or explanation, disputed, saying, maybe 20 min but not half hr.NO accountability, no apology.0 Customer service!!Finally receive platter, NOT WORTH $19.50, nor the wait!DRIED chicken & half filled platter of rice! 5 small very blackened Maduros.To the older, rude guy in truck that tried to tell me I didn't wait half hr, you could've/should've done better!! Also, he didn't take my order or cash, he had NO idea how long I waited. 7 friends did & offered to write reviews, too. They saw & sampled & KNOW I'm not exaggerating.Waste of my hard earned $19.50. Disappointing.

Not the best place for Spanish food. November 2023. A good Spanish restaurant, starts with Clean bathrooms. And daily hot soups on the menu in the fall, and winter getting ready to set in. They had none. No soups. Prices for an order of fry plantains were astronomically? expensive. We are talking about a green plantain. Doesn't have to cost so much. If you leave hungry. After spending $30.00 for one person. Then you can be sure it's not legit. The second star was for their efforts.

Absolutely LOVE everything I’ve ordered. I’ve been a patron since they only had the truck, and they have stayed consistent with the quality of their food, the staff is super nice, and when I order for delivery it’s always the correct order and fresh. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
