Review of the Pogi Boy Truck Debut!!!

Today was the long awaited debut of the Pogi Boy Truck! My friend Jessica and I went to the IE Food Truck Fest to support our friend Brent and his food truck debut!

I have my ticket in hand and I am ready to go in!






Check out the line behind us!





We were the first ones in line at the Pogi Boy Truck! Jessica is ordering her foot long lumpia!!!


Here is my foot long lumpia! Coming out fresh from the truck! The novelty of this was so great! When we walked around everyone was asking us what that was and where did we get it! The foot long lumpia was even better than the smaller lumpia that the rest of us are use to! I only want foot long lumpia from now on! They also gave just enough sweet chili dipping sauce to go along with it!


I also ordered the taco trio which was a beefsteak taco, a chicken adobo taco and a crispy pork taco! I already ate one before I realized that I didn't take a picture yet lol! Underneath the tacos is that foot long lumpia! The tacos were even better than the ones I had at preview night! Brent took some minor recommendations and really delivered on the flavor and juiciness of the meat and skillfully combined vegetables in each of the tacos!





Take a look at the Pogi Boy Truck! I love the color scheme! It just pops out of the crowd!





Congrats on their second place finish in the "Life of The Party" category at the Food Truck Fest! But that thanks really goes out to their "man on the street" interviewer Jordan who was infectious and had great energy to talk to the crowd and passersby!





That's Jordan talking to folks as the Fest just opened!

Preview Night for Pogi Boy Food Truck

I have been waiting for years for my friend Brent to come up with a restaurant or something to show off his cooking skills. Well, my wait is soon to be over. Tonight Brent invited a large portion of his friends to try some of his food for his Pogi Boy Food Truck that he hopes to launch this summer in Orange County.

Here is Brent working hard for preview night!


The Pogi Boy fries topped with chicken adobo, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. The adobo was soft and tender and full of flavor. I loved the guacamole and actually wanted more of it! The portion size was just right and went great with the tacos and the quesadilla.

The delicious pork belly taco! The pork belly was perfect and the slaw really pulled this taco together! The fresh squeeze of lime made this perfect!

The beef quesadilla! This one didnt even need anything extra! A great blend of cheeses and tender beef just blended together nicely.
Apparently I forgot to take a photo of the other two tacos just by themselves. The two tacos together were the beef taco and the chicken adobo taco. both came with a nice bed of bean sprouts that added a great crunch to the taco!
I kept the lumpia for last because they were my absolute favorite! The blend of pork, shrimp and bacon with sweet chili sauce was addicting! I had two orders and took home even more for tomorrow!

This is only part of the menu to get reaction and from all the smiling faces this was a great success! I'll be there for the launch of Pogi Boy and you'll get that info as soon as I do. Who knows there may even be a special deal for Sasaki Food time fans too!
