Uncle Lau's Island BBQ Food Truck

Chef on Wheels got a make over and a new branding, they are now Uncle Lau's Island BBQ.
I hadn't visited his truck in a little while with the surge of new trucks rolling out and the frequency that they are hitting the MTV area for lunch, AKA food truck alley, so I haven't been visiting my favorite trucks nearly as much. All of his food seems to be pretty much the same as before, not much in the way of menu changes, which is good. I usually get the pulled pork, which is really one of the best I've had in L.A. It has a really great moist, mild smoke, with light flavor. Satisfying, never disappointed. I haven't tried much else from him other then a couple of chicken specials, I just like the pulled pork that much. I will try some other things soon. They have a repeat customer punch card now, which is pretty cool. Ten sandwiches, 11th is free. Be nice if more trucks did that. Good and easy incentive. Follow them on twitter here.

Gastrobus

Tried the Gastrobus for lunch. Been wanting to try them out for a while now, but they don't get over to the West side much. They get all of their produce from the Los Feliz farmers market, which is all organic. Had the pulled pork sandwich with pickled onions, lettuce, and a little cilantro that I had to pick off, all on a Cuban roll. Very tasty sandwich. The pork was nice and tender, but not smokey or bbq like. Just good pork. The pickled onions were really great, added a little tanginess without overpowering the sandwich, but preserved some of that onion taste. Great bread as well. Really enjoyed it.

Barbie's Q Food Truck

BBQ smoked chicken sandwich. The chicken was quite good, smokey, but not overpowering. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy, but once again, not overpowering. Really like the bread as well.

Pulled pork sandwich, carolina style with a mustard vinaigrette and side of potato salad. Pretty tasty, the mustard was spicier then what I was expecting, but still good. Pork itself was a little bit on the drier side, but with the dressing it worked well.

Chef on Wheels

Tried a new food truck, Chef on Wheels. Smoked BBQ, with an island flair. Had the pulled pork with side of sweet potato fries. This was a damn good sandwich, great smokey pork, moist and flavorful, it didn't really need anything else. Fries were good, but the sandwich really filled me up. I will be eating there again. Best part, parks 2 minutes from my work.
