“I reached out to them about serving food for a company event and they were AMAZING. Very kind people and they did a great job, and their food is delicious! Another food truck bailed on us last minute and Roadside Tacos helped pick up their slack and ended up serving more people than anticipated. No one left hungry. I will definitely keep them in mind for future events!“

Wingz on Wheelz on University Ave Food Trucks • $

“Got the Chicken Tenders and Shrimp plates. The chicken tasted great. Well seasoned, breaded, and fried. The shrimp surprised me as it was breaded with Catfish breading. I never had it prepared like that and it was fantastic. The Parm Garlic sauce was one of the best I ever had. The lady that took our order said the WOW sauce was like an 8 on the spice level but I think it's more like a 6. The flavor pairing with the spice was really good. I'd compare it to bbq sauce you'd get in Texas. This place gives off Southern/Cajun vibes. Definitely recommend. Gonna try the catfish next. The only thing that I wish I saw on the menu was Fried Okra but definitely not a deal breaker.“

“Absolutely delicious !The presentation and aroma...the singe on the asada...the chorizo along with Verde and Rojo sauce absolutely ?I will 100% be back !I always like to start off with the carne asada tacos because if you can't get that right than I don't wanna do business. I always go at least on sauced up and one as is and all was delicious!!Something a little different is the cheese on these.
