Bang Bite Filling Station

Came into Santa Fe looking for some great food and found it in Bang Bite Filling station. After taking the first bite of the Cubanito my exact words were «oh yes, that’s how it’s done». Lots of flavor in this sandwich that keeps you excited about the next bite you get to take. This place is kinda hidden, but it makes sense because it’s food truck treasure. We’ll be going back again before we leave.

I am currently eating an ooh-​Papi burger and had to put it down so I could write this review. It is one of the top 5 burgers I’ve ever had — if I could give 6 stars I would! The world would be a better place if everything could come topped with maple bacon jam.

I had the wonderful opportunity to try the food here over the XMAS Holiday. My wife and I had the green chile cheeseburger. Whoa! It was so fantastic for Lunch along with the fries that we didn’t need to have dinner that night. It is something that we’ll do again and again. We’re thinking of staying at the Hotel Santa Fe so we can walk across the street to try other items. I wanted to try the calabacitas sandwich. Oh well, next time. Thanks for the memories!

I had the maple bacon jam burger — seriously hands down the best burger I have ever had ! Sooo good:) very satisfied. And their fries are yummy too ! Excited to try some other menu items.

Love this truck & all of the menu options!!! Someone needs to update the location though. It is no longer on Old Santa Fe Trail.

So my first experience at Bang Bite was exceptional.
I have to say that the menu was incredibly enticing, and it’s very rare that I will buy an $ 11 sandwich. Now that said… This is the kind of sandwich that I would spend good money to buy a lot of days of the week. For one, it is so packed with meat, that it would last me three meals. For two, oh my Goddess… it was good. Hubby got the pulled pork and I got the Cuban. Both were melt-​in-​your-​mouth good and came with ridiculously good french fries. A-​plus. All the way. You’ll get that fifth star on my next visit. I’m sure.

Nothing «–ito «about this Cuban! Besides packing a solid punch taste-​wise, it is a massive sandwich! Do yourself a favor and order it, it’s one of their most popular sandwiches for a reason!

One of the best burgers in town. Absolutely delicious. Comes out quickly and won’t leave you disappointed. I’m always impressed trying something new here. «That’s my boy blue» «The O.M.G.» and, «The Grandma Milla» all leave me very happy.

Love love love this place! You would never guess that a food truck would be so yummy! The burgers are huge! The «bite burger» is amazing, so are the gooey/​trailer/​bang fries! The service is always great!

Food truck virgin, but hamburger expert! LOVED the buns used on the 100% Black Angus beef burgers! Ordered up a medium Bite Burger which comes with roasted 5 chiles blend, bacon, avocado, pepper jack cheese and jalapeño aioli WITH fries for $ 10.75. Fries are handcut with seasoning. Not crazy about overpriced drinks from a cooler! If I’d known that I would have brought my own. Not the best or most expensive burger I’ve had, but tasty and fun! My favorite burger hands down… In N Out!

We stopped by Santa Fe, NM on our way back to CA. I’m so happy we ate at this food truck stop! The food is really good! We got the following items —
Bang fries — with cheese, bacon and green chiles! Really good and not spicy!
You are my boy blue — burger with blue cheese, maple bacon and garlic aioli. Amazing!!!
Cubanito — pulled pork sandwich with cheese. Didn’t like this one. I’m not into pulled pork.
Honey glazed sriracha wings — really good. Tastes more like sweet Thai chili sauce.
The food is very high in calories but at least it’s worth it. Haha. The only down side is when it’s hot, there’s not much shade even with the umbrellas on the tables.

So on TripAdvisor, this is the number 5 of 418 restaurants in Santa Fe. While the burger was ok I’m really not sure what having this place rated #5 of 418 restaurants in Santa Fe says about the overall state of the food industry in this area.
I guess it’s worth trying, but I can tell you I’ve marked this one off the bucket list.

This is definitely the best food truck that I have ever eaten at. It’s amazing how much flavor comes out of a trailer! Go for the «bite burger» made with spicy green chile, avocado and jack cheese. Ask if they have any spare aoli to dip your fries into. Serious yum.

It’s hard to deny how good the food is at Bang Bite, which is why we hired them to cater our wedding this past May. We overlooked it when he charged us an extra $ 95 in tax on our down payment by accident, even though it took several weeks to get that corrected and created extra steps for us during a busy time. At the wedding itself he seemed generally unprepared and rushed. The truck was in place not long after the ceremony ended, and yet it took a very long time to start serving, indicating he’d done little to no food prep before arriving at our site. At one point rumors were going through the guests that his fryer was broken? He claimed my mom told him to hold off on serving until we were done with pictures, when in reality he checked in with my mom during pictures to let her know appetizers were still 45 minutes away (in other words, 45 minutes late). While we were taking pictures around 6pm, a few older guests asked him how long before any food would be served, and he gave them a 1 hour estimate; they were so hungry at this point that they had to leave because they were feeling faint since there weren’t even appetizers to munch on. By then we expected appetizers to be out and burgers to start being served. He finally served huge burgers that took forever to cook, rather than the sliders we’d agreed upon, which would have been much faster, and would have allowed guests to try a few different sandwiches. There was a 2 hour delay between the first and final guest (of only 80 guests total) getting their food. The final kicker for me came 3 months later when I was told he sent 2 of our younger guests into town (a 15mile+ drive round trip) to bring back ice because he’d forgotten it — the entire reason we paid a caterer was to prevent our guests from having to lift a finger.
Yes, the food is great, and having a food truck cater your wedding is a super fun idea. But I will never eat at Bang Bite again, or encourage friends to do so, because of the experience we had. He took no ownership of what went wrong, and instead put it all on our family. Neither side was perfect, but he definitely demonstrated very little professionalism with customer concerns and offered no ownership or compensation for everything that went wrong. Our guests still joke that the reason their burger was so good was that they were borderline starving when they finally got it. Not how I wanted them to remember our day.

I’m not completely sold on the popularity of Bang Bite. I stopped by for lunch today on the recommendation of fans and tried the Bang Burger — a roasted chili cheese burger with bacon and avocado on a fresh baked bun. Sure, the ingredients are fresh and wholesome, and the burger itself was tasty, but at $ 8.75 for a burger, I was expecting something more memorable. The fries are an additional $ 3 and a diet coke $ 2. So $ 13.75 for lunch is a bit steep for a trailer meal. The burger itself was well-​stuffed with avocado and lettuce and a light jalapeño aioli sauce. Personally, I think the green chile cheese burger at the nearby Santa Fe Bite is tastier and a much better deal.

Just had a number two bite burger. Fresh roll awesome deluciousness. Now you can eat inside there new shack next to their trailer. Snow can’t stop me now.

If this is the best burger in Santa Fe, then Santa Fe lacks in good burgers. Average at best.

Wow! I had been talking about going to this food truck with my friend Joseph, kind of holding it over his head as an incentive to get better after he got sick 2 years ago, but sadly he passed away recently. Tonight they were parked outside the CCA and I ordered their «Almost Philly Cheesesteak» and it was delicious!
I also received some complimentary french fries, but I can’t eat potatoes, so I gave them back to the owner, who seemed a little confused that I didn’t want them. I should have specified that I didn’t need them, but next time I will know. I’ll definitely be back.

Perhaps the best burger in Santa Fe. Get the 2 or the 7. Insanely good.

Ohhhhh this is going to be DANGEROUS!!! Fantastic lunch today, had the posole salad and the beef cheek special tacos with perfectly ripe avo’s and tangy onions. Can’t wait to come back for the OMG burger and fries. STAY TUNED!!!
