Hold up!  There are new menu items!  
I was getting the same things over and over because they are amazing, but this week I saw a new item, Beef Machaca Tacos.  These are now my favorite.  This truck just gets better and better.  These tacos are hard shell, with delicious beef and other toppings.  Take some advice and give it a taste.  I'm positive you'll like them.

I am not a fan of bread pudding, but gave it a go since I haven't been dissappointed by anything I've had here so far.  This dish is a lot more tasty than what I imagined it would be.  If you are hesitant, give that a try, definitely a treat.  These chef's are both very creative and well talented!

Besides the great food, is the customer service.  Angie, the order taker & face of the truck, will get out of the truck to come talk to you and tell you about all the items.  She remembers a friendly face and always is smiling.

Will be back, see you there!

    There are trucks that call themselves Gourmet Food Trucks, then there are the real thing.  These guys are the real deal!

    I have been here twice when they visited Charter Oak High, and both times they were awesome.

    1st visit I had the Kobe Slider, Jamacian Jerk Chicken Tacos, and Manchengo Fries.  It was the best food truck fare I have had in a while.

    They came back, so went again, this time we had the Oyster Slider & Cheddar Broccoli soup.  Wife said the Oyster Slider was the best thing she has ever eaten off a truck, and possibly the best taste she had off a truck.

    From great looking truck with TV, to the very personable order taker that I don't remember the name of (she remembered me & my family from our previous visit), to the real gourmet food (great job chef!), I would put this truck in my top 3.

    The prices, like all food trucks, look high, such as 5 bucks a slider and 5 bucks for fries, but somethings are just worth the money.  You can easily fill up for under 20 bucks, which is what you may pay eating out at a restaurant.

    When they come back to my area, I will definitely be back!

In my Top 3 trucks!  It got lots of hype from TV, but I was skeptical.  All that went away on my 1st bite.  Had the pulled pork fries &  Ahi Poke.  It was much better than I anticipated and now am a fan.  I'm not into either fish or lime, but these guys do it right.  Will be back at the

I liked it the first time, 2nd was OK, and 3rd time it was just bleh.  Tacos are good to taste their meat.  Burritos are filling, but by the time you get 1/2 way done with it, you wish you had something else to taste.  Too much of the same thing.  I wouldn't call this a gourmet food truck as I would call it just a food truck.  
Prices are about 6 for a burrito, similar to Chipotle prices, but not as good.  
Cool if you want some Filipino tastes, but there are other Flip trucks with a better menu and taste. Show owner comment »

Sounds, cool, meat in a bun, figured I'd try it, didn't expect much.  But damn, them bun's are awesome.  Soft, tasty, perfect.  Even my kid loved them and he hates eating.  Will definitely be back if they roll around to my hood.

This is going to be every Tuesday night from 6 pm to 9 pm for the near future.

Held in the parking lot of Charter Oak High School, as a benefit to help the COHS band.

Different trucks every week.

1st week was Grill em' all, Grilled Cheese, Nom Nom, King Kone, and a couple other dessert ones.

2nd week was TapaBoyLA, Ta_Bom, MightyBoba, JoseOMalleys, & NaanStop.

Shorter Lines, great variety, lots of grass to sit on, lots of fun

Still hard to swallow the prices for these food trucks personally though.

Your everyday 7-11, but its my local one.  Usually only come when I want something tasty to drink or need a dvd from the Redbox outside.  The cashier is usually a normal friendly dude here tho.

I use to be the one making fun of the people coming here for their organic groceries, but now I am here at least twice a week.  It's only 4 aisles here, but gets me everything I need.  Free samples in the back of something new very often.  I haven't been back to Ralphs, Vons, or any other big name markets since.  And yes, I do got those reusable bags, whatever they are called.

It's my pharmacy.  Opens are 7 am, has everything you need here at a decent price.  Also has a Chase ATM in it, and the closest one to me.  So grab your Ritalin, some cash, and a drink here.

It looks awesome inside.  Quite trendy and unMcdonalds like, until you get your order wrong...

The kid loves the indoor playground area and sometimes come just for that when it's hot outside.  Avoid this place during the noon lunch rush, lines are crazy inside and out.

The flagship park for Covina.  Besides using if for a 1 year old B-day party, there are always event here during the summer.  Something new each night of the week, but I come often to the kids movie nights on Tuesdays.  Free raffles, games/projects for the kids.  Good eats around from restaurant portable foot trucks, and of course a nice movie in the park at dush on a huge inflatable screen.  The summer season just ended, but will be back next year when it kicks off again.
