The Red Pig & Truffle

I loved the Cubano sandwich!
The price wasn’t bad and the food was great!
My girlfriend got the caprese sandwich and loved it.
Can’t wait to stumble across this truck again.
Keep up the good work!

I do like the food at the Red Pig and Truffle. I’m always on the lookout for a good Cuban sandwich and theirs is pretty good. The line is to order is never too long (for Marquette Ave. food truck standards between 12 – 1) and the employees are nice. My only issue is that the food takes a really long time to make. They only have one guy in there cooking. He does it well and turns out some great food, but it’s at the cost of a long wait time. Both times I’ve ordered here I’ve had to eat a few bites a while hurrying back to the office and save the rest for later. I get an hour lunch and it’s barely enough time. It would really really help if they had either boxes or bags for people who don’t have time to finish it all and want to save the rest for later. As it comes right now it’s in a paper boat with the sandwich and some chips. Next time I’ll try to think ahead and bring a container to put my leftovers in, so I don’t waste half the sandwich like I have the last two times.

Low quality food & service… and when you thought it couldn’t get any worse: A PIG employee backed into a parked trailer. The PIG owner is claiming he is not responsible for his employee backing into a parked trailer and refuses to pay damages. Real stand up business practice. Will never deal with again & all my friends will know.

The food truck scene has been in downtown Minneapolis for a few years now and at first, they were hip and sexy… then I got over it with the expensive small portioned foods. I took a break for a year… then decided last Friday that a food truck lunch was in order. I gathered my co-​workers and we marched out in the glorious sun to the streets of food truck land!
I walked past the usual suspects and the large red truck of The Red Pig & Truffle caught my eye. At first, I was slightly confused to not see a menu… thinking there was only a single item they served… only to find the menu propped up against the side of the truck with 6 people standing in front of it. The menu is short and sweet… with The Red Pig at the very top. It listed 3 – 4 kinds of meats, pickled veggies, some sort of secret sauce for the average price of $ 10.
I rolled the dice, got myself in line and waited… and waited… until I finally got a chance to order. I quickly informed the man behind the counter in a frantic haze… The Red Pig, please! Like a savage, I tossed the man my debit card… in which he proceeded to pray that his Square device would work (to not give me a free meal!).
I continued to wait and saw that my coworkers were busy wolfing down their lunch… lucky turds… it looked amazing and was getting jealous that I was still waiting for what I thought would be a tiny ass sammich with a slice of deli meat on it.
Alas…I hear my ordered called and I hurried over to grab my food and run. To my surprise… I was presented the glorious sammich that is The Red Pig. Stuffed like a pig with what seemed like a pound of meat, sharp cheese, pickled veggies, spinach and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. There is no normal human way to eat this monster… you have to take it apart and attack it like an animal.
The combo of salted meats… with sharp swiss… deep flavored balsamic… holy hell this sammich is AMAZING. Don’t forget the napkins… like a big ass wad of napkins… you’ll need a wet rag… this is your SIGN to get this sammich…
