Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

We got orders wrong. We pre-ordered this morning. One of the Chipotle chicken taco ordered was an additional pork tacos order. Not what we ordered
