Mr Nice Guy

This food truck appears to have a cool Reservoir Dogs like name and unpretentiousness coming from Yonkers (my schools blue collar southern neighbor… Kidding SLC is totally in Yonkers nice try with the Bronzip code). They serve sliders and people seem to come back a lot. I try the Cuban, Classic, and pulled pork slider with fries as recommended by the nice girl and guy. They come with equally soft and grease topped buns but the Cuban is especially lovely. It has a small and large slab of tender pork with pickles and a sauce to complement the saltiness with tang. The Classic is decent but more meat than flavor of pickled onions. The pulled pork is my least favorite even though greasy and tender because there is little flavor to contrast or lend complexity so it is somewhat cloying and dry on the sides. The fries are medium cut rustic style or something with skin on. They may be greasy and not crunchy on the outside but I like them. Though I enjoyed my food I would reorder the Cuban slider most of all, the rest I don’t need to have again necessarily. Not worth the breakouts.

I should’ve know by the hoards of people waiting for food this was a bad idea. There was one person waiting to order in front of me and he was completely ignored for a solid five minutes. When it was my turn, I ordered the box of three sliders and fries. Twenty minutes later, I finally got my food. The girl apologized for the wait but didn’t sound sincere. The 3 pulled pork sliders were comically tiny, macaron sized. I couldn’t believe they charge $ 3 each for these. Not only that, but they were cold and the amount of meat to bread ratio was pitiful. The fries were piping hot and decent but I was so annoyed by the wait, the size of the sliders and the cold food that I couldn’t enjoy them.
I highly recommed avoiding this truck. I won’t be wasting my money there again.
I did however enjoy the music. Who doesn’t love a little PARTY IN THE USA.

It is rare that an honest to goodness food truck comes around to where one of my offices is. So, when seeing the Mr. Nice Guy Truck sitting along York and 70^th one morning, I got so excited! I looked the the bag of lunch in my hand and said, «You’ll have to wait until tomorrow.»
This truck is known for its sliders and fries, primarily. However, be warned, their web site differs from their actual items, which is both good and bad. The website boasts four kids of sliders plus an option to mix and match. You can buy a single slider for $ 3. An attractive deal comes with your choice of three kids of fries (choose between regular, sweet potato, or yuca) and three sliders for $ 9. When my co-​worker and I got up to the truck, we were pleased to see additional special sliders such as Pulled Pork, Asian Pork, and (the unfortunutely sold out) Banh Mi. However, the normal $ 9 price was bumped up to $ 12, and each individual slider was $ 3.50. Also, only regular fries were being served. Hmmmmm.
The sliders themselves were hit or miss. Note: These babies are SMALL, like a little meatball on a cute bun. The Asian Pork slider, with a spicy slaw, was flavorful but the meat was a bit try. The Bacon Cheese slider was delicious but almost completely dry, which was unfortunate. The regular ol’ fashioned slider was the most delicious and moist overall. I almost wish I had just gotten three of those. My co-​workers tried the Pulled Pork sliders and both were enamored. The fries, hand cut and perfectly seasoned, were also delightful if not a hair cool by the time I got back to my office. Mind you, it’s about five minutes from the truck to my desk again, so I questioned how hot the fries were in the first place.
I found the flavors to be amazing in everything I ate, but execution and consistency certainly needs to be considered. Still, if I saw them back on the corner, I’d be willing to give a few more sliders a try, especially if they have Pulled Pork or I spy the Banh Mi hasn’t been sold out yet.

Saw this truck at the Food Truck Rally in Grand Army Plaza tday. 3 Sliders + Fries for $ 10? Not bad! Boy was I wrong. There was a huge group of people hanging around and after asking around a bit, I finally found the line to place an order. i was the third in line and it took 15 minutes til I was next to order. And then I was ignored for 35 minutes.
They were so backed up with orders it took them 30+ mins to take a new order. So disorganized, you’d think it was their first day. They apologized to the people who were already waiting for their food but to me and the people behind me? Nothing. No apology, no estimated time, nothing. I would’ve left had I not been the next person to order. I finally gave my order and it took another 15 minutes to get my food. Why do teeny tiny sliders take that long to make? Of course I never got an apology for waiting a goddamn hour. And the food? Completely mediocre. Cold fries, miniscule dry burgers– even for sliders standards. Not worth the wait! I will never recommend them nor will I give them another chance as I don’t think I have another hour of my life to spare on them.

I rarely have bad experiences and don’t usually like to write reviews like this but…
Burgers — 2.5 /​5
ranged from a little dry to somewhat moist, nothing remarkable, each one had some bits of cartilage (!) also
Fries (I had the yuca ones) — 2.5÷5
they seemed drier than they should have been
Wait — very excessive — like greater than 20 minutes which is nuts
– you are better off just walking over to five guys which is faster and better
Also — I felt sick later in the day which I suspect was from this food — I’m not certain enough to dock a star from them, but I’m certain enough to never even consider trying it again

So I was finally able to catch up with this food truck on 33^rd & Park on 10÷15÷13.
NOTE: Their box special of 3 sliders and fries now costs $ 10 instead of $ 9. I got that option with 3 cheddar and bacon sliders and I added pickles.
Bread: Sweet and soft
Meat: Flavorful, tasty, moist
Bacon: Per my pics, there was barely a sliver of bacon on each burger. So what I tasted was bacon «essence». I cannot believe for the tiniest portion of bacon per burger and/​or in total (not even a full slice divided amount 3 sliders), they had the audacity to charge people an extra $ 1 when they first came out. I would have been PISSED if I had paid extra for this.
Pickles: Nice and thick pickle chips that sour enough to make the burger special! I don’t eat burgers w/​o pickles on it and they were perfect in size!
Fries: I agree with a post I read online that states they may soak their fries in a slat brine because they were salty but w/​o a speck of salt on them. No other way I can think to explain that. They were hot and fresh too!
So all that to say, I basically inhaled those burgers and was full by the time I got ¼ way through the fries while scarfing down the trio :) I would definitely go back if they come back to the 30’s again and gladly recommend! The wait was about 10 – 15 mins which isn’t bad at all.
