Crave Food Truck

Closed.
Sadly, the truck only lasted a few short months before being rebranded as a Krushburger truck so they could focus on building that brand. I really wish they would reconsider and relaunch Crave Taco as they were RIDICULOUSLY delicious.

After asking the Krush Burger people where they are hiding the Krave truck, they informed me it has become a second Krush location instead. This review is in hopes to bring back the Krave truck.
After a couple months behind the curve, I finally had my opportunity to try the Krave truck in late October. I was hesitant, as I always am with trying a new fad food truck, but I ordered the Porky and the BBQ Shrimp, and brought them home. I sat down, lit candles and had a romantic make out session with these pricey tacos. After the first bite of the shrimp, my heart felt butterflies. Could it be? YES! I was in love. It was the perfect balance of so many strong and delicious flavors. This is by far the best taco I have ever had. I then realized I had the Porky and made love to the other creating a menage a trois of deliciousness. I swallowed the final pieces and realized it was over. I lit a cigarette, and sat back in my love seat, breathing in the experience I just had. The next day I started looking for this pimp disguised as a truck. I wanted more shrimps and porkies! I started looking online, then walked the streets looking at every corner. This truck was nowhere to be seen. I finally went to it’s daddy, Krush, and they told me this pimp was dead. I miss it. The name Krave is so fitting, because I Krave these meaty, juicy, tacos every night, as I hug myself to sleep. Please come back, even for a day. I long for that moment of ecstasy once more.

So my first time at crave food truck was last friday. I ordered the grilled shrimp taco. It is not the size of the normal street taco. It is probably the size of a fajita size flour tortilla. It does cost $ 4 hence the size is bigger. They have a menu selection of the grilled shrimp taco, korean bbq short rib and i believe the other option was pork.
The shrimp was fresh and tasty. Grilled to the perfect tenderness. It was a very delicious taco and I would get it again. I cant remember what was on there besides that but I did take a picture. Sorry the pic came out blurry.
I will update my stars when I go back for a 2^nd time. I usually don’t give anything higher than 3 stars on my first try at a place unless they stand out more than anything ever and that has never happened.

3.5 Stars. Had a pork and a ninja. Real good. Good quantity. Appearance nice. More like a flat bread sandwich than a taco (IMO). I was definitely full of tasty goodness for $ 7.50. Needs some more refinement before reaching Krush Burger excellence in taste. Hard to pin it exactly– salty-​sweet-​spicy, but I’m sure that «mojo» will come with time and sooner than later.

Nothing to see here folks, move along. You all go to the sandwich trucks, I’ll take one for the team and eat here.
Okay, now that the Lurkyloos are gone, these tacos are fantastic. The ninja will be familiar to you if you’ve had the Ninja burger at Krush. The Porky is based on juicy carnitas and is quite tasty, but the BBQ Shrimp is the show stopper. Big, grilled shrimp, corn salsa, mashed avo and sweet habanero BBQ sauce. I went back and ordered another. I’d do it again. I might quit my job and become a Crave groupie.
My only advice would be to offer some vinegary hot sauce on the truck to set off the rich meats and add some kick for the masochists among us.

My husband is a food truck fanatic. He has experienced nearly every food truck in the Sacramento Area. He is a big fan of Krush Burger, so when we were going to Costco at Cal Expo and saw Krush’s partner in crime, Crave Taco (in the REI parking lot), we both got excited as we haven’t had the chance to have it. They have 3 specialty tacos. We got one of each and split them. By far and away, the BBQ Shrimp Taco was to die for. It had huge shrimps, this pineapple jalapeño BBQ sauce, taco slaw, roasted corn pepper, with an avocado smash! Oh my gosh! LOVED IT! We also had the Ninja, made up of thinly sliced Korean short ribs, Asian slaw, pea shoots, crispy scallions, and some sort of aioli sauce. That was super yummy too. We also had the Porky Taco which was carnitas, taco slaw, the same pineapple jalapeño BBQ sauce as in the BBQ Shrimp Taco, pickled red onions, cojita cheese, and avocado smash. The Ninja and Porky tacos were great, but the BBQ Shrimp will definitely have me coming back. The 3 tacos and a bottle of coke came to $ 13. Service was super fast and friendly. The ingredients were extremely fresh and well worth the price. I will definitely follow this food truck on Facebook/​Twitter and find them again!

I tried the Ninja taco this pas weekend at the Trucktoberfest. I have to say this taco was amazing!!! I highly disagree with the other review. The Korean beef was so flavorful and they give you a good amount of it. The meat is from Korean short ribs that has been cut up into bite sized portions. The tortilla shell was nice and thin and the asian slaw on top added the perfect amount of crunch and spice to the incredible tasting meat. The taco was only $ 4 and larger then a typical taco. I highly recommend Crave Food Truck.

I was the second person ever to try Crave, the new food truck by Krushburger selling tacos. I ordered two Ninja tacos, having assumed that the Ninja taco would be like the Ninja burger… but it wasn’t. The flavors were different and I didn’t care for the chewy beef. I took one bit of the pork taco and didn’t care for it. I was sad because I love Krushburger and wanted to love the tacos. I know it’s brand new so maybe they will tweak the food yet.
