    Smokin gringos came to Old rice retreat in cane bay tonight and I was excited to try it because last time I attempted to get something from this truck they sold out of food after I had been waiting in line for 20+ minutes. I'll start with the non food related part of my review. The truck is very colorful. I arrived to the event maybe 15 minutes after the event started. There was nobody in line at the truck. While walking to the truck, I noticed that pages grill food truck had a HUGE line. Well when I walked to the window and started ordering I couldn't help but notice the man taking my order seemed very annoyed   I began to wonder if it was because there was nobody in line at his truck and so many at pages. Now one of the main reasons I love food trucks is I like supporting local businesses and I love how supportive all the trucks are of each other. After handing me my food, the man yelled out to the people waiting in line for pages and said "there's no line over here, I don't know what y'all are waiting for." After he yelled that at them, he turned to me and said "their food isn't that good." That was very disappointing to me.

    Now onto the food. I ordered the mega burrito and pork tacos with a side of Mac N Cheese. The tacos were very underwhelming. There was not much filling to them at all and they were very small. All that was in there was some pulled pork and a small amount of beans. The pork was juicy but there needed to be more. The tacos came with a side so I got Mac n cheese. I'm picky with my Mac n cheese so I was not impressed. It was very bland to me and the amount you got was very small. I do not feel I got $12 worth. Now onto the mega burrito. It was FANTASTIC but for $18 I wouldn't expect anything less. The tortilla was a spinach tortilla which I found interesting but it worked. In the burrito is salsa, sour cream, pulled pork, ground beef, refried beans, Gringo beans and queso! All of the flavors worked so well together. The creamy sour cream mixed with the juicy meats was amazing. There was a perfect amount of spice. There was also queso on top of the burrito which just added to the pleasurable flavor.

    Wasn't happy with my encounter but I would DEFINITELY order that burrito again.
