All Angle BBQ

I actually wish that I’d stuck with my homemade lunch today instead of taking the walk over to try the All Angle BBQ food truck. I get excited about the food trucks coming to the office, and I try to support them. Unfortunately, I won’t visit this one again.
The menu (or lack of one) was sad. BBQ brisket or pulled pork… in a sandwich or a taco. A taco? The sides consisted of potato salad or mac & cheese. And some various sodas and water. The sodas were Mexican (as evidenced by the PRODUCT OF MEXICO label on the bottle). When I left to take the trek over to the truck, I figured $ 12 was more than enough. Wrong. It was BARELY enough.
I opted for the pulled pork sandwich. I was asked if I wanted spicy or «on the mild side.» I chose «on the mild side» because I’ve been surprised too many times with overly spiced food. Wong again.
For $ 9.00, I got a smattering of bbq pork topped with a spoonful of cole slaw on a hot dog bun (well, maybe a glorified hot dog bun). The pork tasted like it could have been a frozen product before it was heated in the truck. The sauce was very sweet and the cole slaw was pretty much tasteless. So, pretty much «sweet» was the only flavor. The sandwich was actually sweeter than the Mexican Sprite (it was really GOOD Sprite!).
That’s $ 11.00 ($ 9 for the sandwich and $ 2 for the Sprite) that I’ll never get back again. Like the other reviewers wrote, «I wish I’d read the reviews before I spent the money.»

Oh boy… where to begin… I wish I would have read the reviews before I spent $ 8 here today. There was no line and that should have been my first clue, but my hunger and interest to try a new food truck compelled me to All Angle this afternoon. After trying this today, all I can say that it is all angles of bad. I ordered a brisket sandwich and some macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was standard. It actually tasted like the macaroni salad from Raley’s or Bel Air. I had no issues with it. The sandwich on the other hand is the reason why I decided to post this. The meat itself was slightly dry and rubbery; and the sauce was absolutely horrible. It had no flavor! There were only 3 pieces of thin slices of meat on my bread:(This is truly a disgrace to bbq and I will not be going back to this particular truck.

The previous reviews sum up my experience exactly, hope they get it together somehow (?) … 9−12−13

If 1 star = Eek! Methinks not then 1 star is understated. More like, run, do not walk, away. Fast.
I adore food trucks and I’m lukewarm about bbq. I’m really picky about meat temperatures and seasoning. With All Angle, I didn’t even have to get that far.
When ordering, the cashier was confused (profoundly) about the menu’s offerings and was trying to add the items in her head — round numbers, mind you– and off by several dollars. I added it up for her a couple of times which only made her MORE confused. She said well it’s my first day! …Oh honey, you have all of six items on the menu, including chips… get it together!
Once we ordered (15 minutes, easily. AND I don’t mean IN LINE. I mean, took 15 minutes to order, clarify and pay for ONE MEAL) the item itself — a chicken wrap (i.e., all uncooked food) with a side of mac’n’cheese took at least 20 minutes to come up. While waiting, I pretty much determined I was taking my kid’s life in his hands giving him the lunch at a sporting event.
There were three people squeezed inside this truck. The same people intermittently handled food, and money, food and money… no handwashing OR gloves used!!! My Mac’n’cheese was scooped out of a tub. No idea if the tub was used to store homemade product or did they purchase it somewhere. I watched the head chef (I’m guessing) wipe a knife he used on a sandwich on his filthy shirt… not even an apron! Food sat out, the prep area was a disaster and all three wore FILTHY disgusting clothing. The chef had on a shirt which was not only hanging on him, but looked like it had been pulled from a garbage bin and full of holes! Ever heard of an apron, they work WONDERS. I understand getting dirty in the kitchen but TRUST me this was not one day’s filth. Additionally, these three weren’t moving fast enough to have created this sort of filth.
Speaking of speed… they were painfully slow. Elderly lady slow. No, that’s an insult to elderly ladies. Snail slow.
The food tasted… pretty much as expected given the above conditions. We sampled the items… ate the bagged chips then threw the remains away in the best interest of our health.
Thinking of booking them at your event? Really, don’t.

Just 45 min after the trucks showed up they were already sold out of two featured menu items. I inferred this to mean they were popular and tasty. Unfortunately, the pulled pork sandwich I got was very disappointing. It comes on a glorified hot dog bun but with less meat than a regular hot dog contains. There was twice as much cabbage ‘n stuff as meat. The whole contents barely filled up the bun. For the same $ 8 I’ve had burritos, burgers, and other sandwiches from various food trucks that were so big I could barely finish them. After eating this sandwich I had to go somewhere else to find something for the «rest» of my lunch.
I did order the sandwich spicy. I like REALLY spicy food and this sandwich almost made me sweat. For me this was a big plus, but for anyone not used to that level of heat, they’d likely consider it way too spicy.

It breaks my heart to have to give a low-​star rating to one of my fave food groups: food trucks. But after having tasted the grub presented by All Angle, especially after having sampled just about every other food truck out there in Sac, my recent experience warrants a mere 2-​star review.
The people were nice, which saved this review from being a 1-​star like the previous two reviewers before me. But to me, food trucks are all about the food, and what I had just wasn’t up to snuff. My ribs ($ 9) were tough and tasted like they’d been sitting a while. The mac ‘n cheese ($ 3) was a big portion, but compared to Miz Shirley’s was just okay.
Maybe they were having an off day? I’ll give them another try if they come ’round my work again, because I believe in redemption. Keeping my fingers crossed, because I don’t like giving low-​star reviews. But I’m also not gonna blow wind up your skirt, either.

I wish I would have read this review before I went to try this truck. The food was terrible. Mind you, I only ordered the ribs which were so tough I couldn’t even bite through the meat. And why was a rib longer than the actual bone? I’m sure there’s some culinary term for whatever that extra meat is, but it was dry, fatty and tough. I ordered the spicy sauce and it was SO HOT that I couldn’t even finish one rib (not that I really wanted to because they sucked, but I was hungry). They really ought to warn you that the spicy sauce is hot sauce with a bunch of chili flakes in it and not BBQ sauce kicked up a notch. The little piece of bread they gave was stale and hard as a rock. 3 ribs for $ 9 bucks with no sides and stale bread? Me thinks not. I really love trying out the food trucks and have had some hit and misses, but I defintely, without a doubt, will not try this one again and actually recommend that you don’t either. There’s no amount of curiousity that should warrant you to stand in line at this truck – oh wait, there was no line. That should have been my first tip off.

This is an insult to bbq and an insult to tacos! Today I had the $ 3 BBQ taco. It was on a cold flour tortilla, with tough carne asada, cabbage and crushed pineapple. I ordered it spicy hot and got NO HEAT whatsoever. This was the saddest taco I’ve ever had! My buddy had the BBQ sausage which was just a hot dog and a side of mac n cheese. Not sure about you, but I like my mac n cheese SOFT AND TASTY!
This food just had no love in it.
