The Supper Truck

Got the borachito burrito for $ 9 during Truckin Tuesday on Civic Plaza and it was so so good. Friendly and fast service too. Highly recommend!

Hands down, my favorite food truck in Albuquerque. Love the shrimp n’grits and the fried chicken bahn mi sandwich!

I first experienced the supper truck at a Unilocal event. Delicious fusion food. Southern kind of thru me the a loop I guess I was expecting something else. Like biscuits and gravy, greens… This truck served Vietnamese with what I consider a southwestern style (tacos and burritos). They offer other food items such as French fries and sweet potato fries and fries smothered with various toppings. My two year old granddaughter was with me and there wasn’t much that she would eat. They accommodated me and cooked up some chicken tenders for her. Last time I visited the supper truck my experience wasn’t as good as my first visit. I ordered the special which was a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Sandwich was flat, tasted like oil not butter, was soggy definitely lacked that nice crunch you have with a nicely toasted bread and the cheese was sparse. I would assume that if it was going to be a special there would be something special or even good about it at least. I have to visit one again to give my final verdict. Fusion food it is though.

Food leans toward Mexican influences, but definitely not your average «taco truck.» Beef tacos (also available with a tofu option) are top-​notch, the fries were ok but nothing special. I have generally been disappointed with many of the food truck offering around Albuquerque but I can see why folks are fans of the Supper Truck.

I used to love the Supper Truck. Friday nights would find me at Tractor Brewery ordering Fried Pickles and Shrimp and Grits. Tonight was disappointing. They were out of Shrimp and Grits, but it wasn’t early, so understandable. My Fried Pickles were another story. instead of being made from chips, they seemed to be spears or halves. Do you buy whole pickles and cut them up? The cucumber skins on the pickles were very tough and difficult to bite through. Sometimes change is good, but it definitely didn’t improve the Fried Pickles.

Hands down BEST FOOD TRUCK in Albuquerque. I’ve missed this truck and its amazing cuisine. I was so happy to see it makes its return, and the new owners are doing a fantastic job getting it back up and running! If you are a first timer trying this place out, you must order the shrimp and grits. Your taste buds will thank you, I promise.

Hooray the Supper Truck is back in business! Their food is the same deliciousness I remember. The new owners are very friendly and love satisfying their customers. When we order she asked if we wanted to leave a phone number to send a text when it was ready for pick up, what a great idea at busy park! Later we were offered a sample of a moon pie and it was delicious I’m defiantly craving another one. I can’t wait to have me some more Supper Truck!

Was at marble brewery on a Saturday night and HAD to get this! I LOVE pickled vegetables and had to get the chicken Vietnamese sandwich. The vegetables were amazing and the bread, perfect.
If I were to go all food network on you I’d say the only thing wrong is the chicken on it. It wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong. I just think the Cajun chicken thickly sliced takes away from the sandwich. Maybe shredded chicken with an herb flavor would better compliment this lovely dish.
My husband had the beef (different burrito?). It was very good! Maybe too many potatoes but still delicious.
The customer service was great too!

Food trucks are taking Albuquerque by storm, and I can’t say I’m sorry. So many different options, and you can usually find them clustered in groups so you can samplet he awesomeness.
The Supper Truck brings Southern food to NM, and it’s needed. My hubby is from TN, and he misses certain things desperately. We hit up the Supper Truck (They reopened!) and he had shrimp and grits. He left fat and happy, which makes me happy. I had the Borachito, which was… amazing. It was unlike any burrito I’ve ever had. The flavors were so wonderful, and the portion was huge. I was able to eat half of it, and my hubby ate a good part of the other half… and I was sad I couldn’t eat more! I don’t know what the Supper Truck was like before, but I can tell you… it’s good. Really, really good currently. We plan to eat our way through their menu!

It took FOREVER to finally hook up with their fried pickles, but it was worth the wait!!! I had been dying to try them for months, but every time I saw the truck, wither they weren’t quite ready for frying yet, or they had run out, or something like that. FINALLY, one night at Marble Brewery, it all came together. Delightfully sliced pickles, dipped in Marble Red batter, fried to deletable perfection. Such a weird thing to fry, but so tangily delicious!
At a Unilocal event at Zendo, I had to arrive late because I was in class. As I was on my way, things were winding down, so my brilliant husband got them to make one last entrée for me. It was a new item at the time — banh mi tacos. HO-​LEE CRAP! Such joyous eating! A mixture of flavors you don’t expect and can’t get enough of.
They also had boiled peanuts, cajun style, I believe. I am no fan of boiled peanuts — what a bizarre thing to do to a wonderful nut. But in this case, I was hooked! I don’t know what they did to those peanuts, but I could have eaten a barrel of them!
I can’t say I have had everything on their menu, but I can say that I have never had anything there that wasn’t just damn delicious. If you don’t get fries with momo sauce every time you go there, you are a fool.
Supper Truck is ABQ’s good luck!

I wish that this food truck existed where I live.
I got the Vietnamese burrito with Siracusa sour cream and it was amazing. The beef was lip smacking delicious and the burrito was gigantic. I wish I could have tried everything off their menu.
They were parked at Marble brewery on a Saturday afternoon.

Never before have I eaten so well out of a food truck. The Supper Truck is as good as it gets! My husband and I split a fried chicken bahn mi and a Vietnamese beef borachito. The borachito was very rich between the cheese, fries, beef and sriracha sour cream. The bahn mi was the perfect foil to it. Like most traditional bahn mis, it was topped with pickled carrot, daikon, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro for a wonderfully fresh taste. The baguette was fresh and warm and the fried chicken was perfect! Not too crunchy, just the right texture. It helps that the truck was parked in front of Marble Brewery when we went, so we could wash it all down with a brew!

Being downtown on a weekend at lunch I knew I had to swing by Marble for a beverage when lo and behold I see the supper truck parked in front of Marbles patio, sweet!
Gazed at menu for a bit, finally approached window and asked what was good. She responded that Fried Chicken Bahn Mi was popular so decided to go with that.
After a short wait I had my sandwich in front of my and quickly realized I would need a fork as sandwich was piled high with toppings. (made a quick choice between peeling the coating off chicken or forego the bun. Sorry bun.)
Chicken was very good. Fried but not greasy, juicy yet cooked thru and sauce had some good flavor. Jalapeños sliced at an angle almost the size of cucumbers added even more bite and texture. Carrots and other veggies, cold, crisp and plentiful.
Will try again and if as good as last time will update review to 5 stars. Some of the best food truck munchies in ABQ.

I started fantasizing about the Chicken Bahn mi. That is what it takes for me to declare 5 stars. We have eaten it twice and this is evil genius. They had a promo going on at Marble brewing yesterday for the Sansa sour release, and you got some free truffle fires with purchase. Fries were hand cut and awesome. We had the fried pickles a couple weeks ago. Boyfriend thought they were some of the best he had ever had. They were too salty for me to enjoy completely. It can get kind of crazy with the pickles already being brined. The only other thing is the bread with the bahn mi sandwich usually ends up falling apart. This is only a minor setback– still awesome. Make sure you have napkins.
I have yet to try the shrimp and grits. I am sure I will. I make this dish at home a couple times a year, after I got addicted eating it at Lucile’s in Boulder. If you are craving creole food and are in Colorado make sure you go to Lucile’s they have one in Denver, Boulder and Ft Collins. They have amazing Beignets, shrimp and grits, and mile high biscuits. The Beignets I found to be better than Café du Monde in New Orleans. I guess I am kind of suggesting that Supper truck should start serving the hole less doughnuty treats. Who doesn’t love them some desert on occasion.

I got to try the Supper Truck’s offerings this Sunday at an Easter Celebration at Mars Hill. I had been excited to try their food ever since I saw the little music video they released for Vero P. and his/​her one star review. Good food and a sense of humor? Sign me up!
Looking at the menu, you think… well crap, I want to try ALL of it! What we ended up with were 2 Shrimp Tacos and the Fried Chicken Bahn Mi.
Hot damn those were probably the BEST shrimp tacos I’ve ever had. I don’t know if I’ve ever had shrimp cooked as perfectly as they were in those tacos. I am so glad we ordered them!
The fried chicken inside of the Bahn Mi was also probably the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in my dang life. I didn’t know it was possible to get such perfectly moist and crunchy fried chicken without it being bone-​in. (The only thing I would tweak is that my bahn mi was super heavy on the daikon radish and slaw garnish, which made it super difficult to eat and was just too much for me… but that’s an easy fix! I’ll just say, «EZ Slaw» next time and it will be perfect!)
I could give 5 stars just for how perfectly seasoned and cooked the protein was BUT the service was also super friendly and fairly quick considering how many people they had in line.
I can’t wait to go back and try everything they’ve got to offer! Yay for food trucks! Thank you, guys!

I tried this place at a Unilocal event a couple of months ago. OMG! It was so good. We went with a couple of friends and all four of us enjoyed our food. The ladies are very professional and genuinely nice. Great food and customer service is important to this food truck owner. I cannot wait to find them again. Yum.

We caught up with the Supper Truck tonight at Marble Brewery for fried chicken and waffle taco’s, my friend loves them, fried chicken, maple syrup and a waffle who would have thought!!! All I can say is the Supper Truck folks are really easy going and the food, man it’s great. I figured I’d write an updated review because it was a really great experience, again! We had a small order snafu but we worked it out easily, these folks really impress me. I think when something like this crops up the response is key and in my case it was handled gracefully. I came back for the Fried Chicken Banh Mi, this evening my wife tried beef burrito it was really good. Personally I wish I had a side of sour cream but I think I could eat a sour cream burrito outright. I don’t follow just any supper truck but The Supper Truck is one I’ll keep visiting for sure :)

Much like Howie K. I spent my first few years here in ABQ complaining about how there were no food truck, even Taco Trucks were limited. And then one day, Talin decided they were gonna host a Food Truck day…(If you haven’t experienced Food Truck Wednesday at Talin, whats wrong with you? Why are you even on Unilocal?)
Anyway…a few months go by and BOOM! We got trucks… needless to say its a good good thing.
I have frequented Supper Truck on many occasions and in a couple locations that they frequent (Sandia, Talin, and Marble) I’ve tried the Bahn Mi, Brisket Tacos, Fries, Moon Pies, Shrimp and Grits, Jambalaya. Wings… that had a name… that I don’t remember… the fish tacos when Dia De los Tacos made a come back tour, and maybe a couple other specials that escape me at the moment. I would have been at the Unilocal event had it not been for that pesky «job» thing I have to do occasionally. I think the Bahn Mi and Brisket Tacos are tied for my favorite Supper Truck foods and I really love the waffle fries with the Mojo… got a little drool goin there for a minute.
I should also mention that their service is pretty legit too, I spent a month on crutches and would still visit them at Talin and they would bring the food out to the car so I wouldn’t have perform some stupid human tricks to get myself back to the car with bags in hand, Thanks Guys! The knee is much better now, lol.
If you’re into the food truck scene and haven’t tried them yet you need to get on it. If you’re not into the new food truck scene, fix yourself.
Bonus: My Instagram shot of their food made it into IQ newspaper!

Super Truck has truly brought something fun, new and different to Albuquerque. They are so quirky and unique. Amy (the owner) is an absolute sweet heart and makes fantastic food. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Their shrimp and grits are a staple. Also I would recommend following them on Facebook because very often they will have delicious items they will serve that aren’t on the menu if you ask nicely for them:) Some of the things that aren’t on their staple menu but they have occasionally happen to be my favorite. I had the pleasure of having the Lobster Nachos that I know are very rare and limited. Butter poached lobster, fresh corn chips, Gruyère cheese, and mango salsa… I have dreams about this dish. OMG supper truck please make this again! Also the Chicken and Waffles with Strawberry butter compote, dear lord that is absolutely amazing. Just go there, Go now!

As a veteran of this town, I can firmly state that one of the struggles of living in a burgeoning, yet hopelessly small, stubborn city is the wait for big city convenience and culture. There was a time not so long ago when the fine dining scene consisted of a handful of restaurants (Stephen’s, Petroleum Club, Artichoke Café), the only place to party downtown was a joint called Banana Joe’s, Krispy Crème was somehow the biggest thing since sliced bread, and organic produce could only be found in your own backyard. Essentially, this hole was exceptionally uncool, save a relatively decent underground music scene, which subsequently moved out of state.
Every so often there’s hope. The food truck scene was big in most cities about, oh, ten years ago. If you hit Denver or Seattle or Boston these days, local growers markets, bakers and specialty food shops are «in», but the food truck geek-​out is long over. Here in the 505 we’re just getting started, and at the moment the competition for sturdy, inspired street eats is crowded with shady, flat and outright lame-​o options. Thankfully, the Supper Truck is one of very few which legitimately earn urban street cred and do so in style.
Serving southern food to this populace is challenging enough on it’s own; collard greens and grits don’t have a place in this local lexicon, and anything having to do with comfort food is supposed to include green chile. The Supper Truck sticks to a few staple recipes like tacos, corn grits and sliders and riffs on each endlessly, throwing in a little Bahn Mi here, some whiskey there, and an infamous MOMO sauce that’ll kill you. It’s seriously creative and delightfully quick considering the depth of flavor in the dish, and the price is right. Get it while you can, because successes like this don’t stay inside trucks for long, and in Burque (take it from a veteran), they often skip town.
Thanks for making ABQ that much cooler, Amy.
