Aaron’s Catering Express

I like going to food truck gatherings, but unfortunately my girlfriend is a «healthy food» person, which means she’s not usually thrilled about going along with me.
So, when we saw this truck at the Hard Rock Food Truck gathering, I suggested she try the Chicken Kabob with Coconut Rice. Sounded like a good, healthy choice.
Sadly, she fell victim to something that a lot of trucks are guilty of. I call it «Big Price/​Small Portion» syndrome. For $ 7 she got ONE TINY chicken kabob, and about a half cup of rice. I mean, seriously, you could hold the amount of chicken in the palm of your hand and still have room leftover for the Chinese army.
She said the taste of the chicken was average (I didn’t try a bite because I already felt bad for her super-​small portion).
I really wanted to give one star, but gave two because:
1) The rice (what there was of it) was a little tasty, and
2) They were at least attempting to serve some healthy food. which is almost non-​existent at food truck gatherings.
HEY AARON — STOP BEING STINGY WITH THE PORTIONS!

I went to Aaron’s with the best intentions — trying to find a healthy meal at BTTR.
I failed miserably. However what I did find was pure savory bliss.
That bastard Aaron had to put the Truffled Mac and cheese at the top of the menu. My mind instantly ignored all other menu items into a jumbled mess so I had no choice but to order the Mac & Cheese. Damn — so much for eating healthy, maybe I can run it off the next day.
However, i was not expecting 3 deep fried mac & cheese patties… with a side of cheese sauce! Well I was certainly not burning this off anytime soon, but this dish is well worth the calories!
The mac patties came out piping hot and were perfectly crispy on the outside yet the mac was still soft and creamy on the inside. The cheese dip added a little spicy kick. Absolutely rich, decadent, and DELICIOUS. At $ 7, you get a fair amount and I would definitely share this with a friend — you’ll definitely be on their good side for the night.
The staff were also super friendly, and the wait was not long at all although the truck was packed.
I’m looking forward to trying what else Aaron’s has to offer, but this dish alone gets 4 stars!

Had the opportunity to try the fried truffle mac n cheese at the food truck extravaganza in Miami Lakes and was blows away! Great food!

So my girlfriend and I decided to attend Art in the Park today. I had never been at a Food Truck event; so, I was very curious and eager to attend. Walked around and had some pretty good food… right before I got to Aaron’s. We ordered the Yuca bites, which they said would be out within 3 – 5 minutes. We ended up waiting for over 30 minutes for 3 fried pieces of Yuca, which was decent, but not spectacular. The worst part of the experience was the customer service. We kept on waiting and seeing people that ordered AFTER us get their food. When we asked the person at the register not once, but twice about our food, we kept hearing, «You’re next, it’s right behind me.» If it’s right behind them, why can’t they give the food? Also, what is really upsetting is the fact of having to ask twice. In most places, asking once is enough. Very disappointed with this food truck. Next time I see them, I’m passing right by to a truck with better service!

So I was able to try out/​preview t Aaron’s Catering Express Truck at the Tamiami Food Truckers Court over by Lexus of West Kendal this past Friday. After waiting in line and overhearing mixed reviews on the items i decided to give them a shot. i mean its gourmet right? I took a recommendation from the woman taking the orders and got the sliders.
As i was waiting my friend appeared with a free deconstructed s’more from Aaron’s that they were passing out. First off– deconstructed s’more? The whole thing about a s’more is the construction of it. I take my cracker and put my chocolate and my melty marshmallow and put it together. It’s the best part– the construction! So deconstructing it, while i understand its gastronomic concept, I thought it was pretty amusing, Secondly let’s go over the recipe for a s’more: marshmallow (Check) chocolate (check) Graham cracker… *cricket*. So for being a gourmet catering company they kind of missed out on one of the key components of a s’more. Mine consisted of 4 marshmallows on stick, dipped in chocolate, and rolled in coconut — now coconut isn’t a s’more ingredient but I’ll go with it for now. My other issue with this s’more on a stick is the lack of melty marshmallow. It was just four plain old what seemed to be bagged marshmallows. No melty, no roasting, no ooey gooey, not even irregularity to suggest an actual homemade marshmallow. Just plain old fluffy, chewy marshmallow. The deconstructed s’more which seemed appealing theoretically was instead total disappointment for me in practice.
Now onto to the sliders. I want to say for about $ 8 (could be 6 or 7 but I can’t recall-​) you get 2 tinnie winnie little sliders and shoestring fries. Which doesn’t sound too bad right? Well I’ll disagree. Let’s dissect: the slider was on a tiny potato roll with lettuce, cheese, pancetta, and of course the burger. I took a bite and was even more disappointed. My burgers were severely overcooked and over seasoned. It was extraordinarily dry and crumbly like a piece of stale bread, no juiciness to it what-​so-​ever. And as far as the over seasoning– i couldn’t taste anything else, no crispy lettuce, no melty cheese, no wonderfully tasting pancetta, just dry over seasoned burger. I did take a small bite of the each to confirm it wasnt just one bad one but anywhos… Let’s move onto the shoestring fries– now here i thought «well you can’t screw up these for sure” — well they did. They were cold and greasy and rubbery? Really, rubbery? I couldn’t even get crispy, cold, and greasy which at least i could have enjoyed a little more.
Long story short version — I THREW IT ALL OUT! Major disappointment.
