Prices & reviews, explained.
A little context helps you choose your next stop. Here is how to read our price guide and how community reviews become a truck’s rating.
Guide updated October 18, 2026
Understanding prices
The dollar symbols describe a typical food order for one adult, including sales tax. Tips, drinks and optional extras are excluded. They describe spending level, not food quality or a customer rating.
| Price level | Typical total |
|---|---|
| $Inexpensive | Under $10 |
| $$Moderate | $10 to $19.99 |
| $$$Pricey | $20 to $29.99 |
| $$$$Ultra High | $30 or more |
For meal trucks, we use an ordinary meal or a reasonable quantity of the main food. For snack and dessert vendors, we use a normal serving and identify that context. Compare similar kinds of orders.
What does “From” mean?
“From” is a starting price for a standard food item that can be ordered by itself. One taco can cost less than a full taco meal, so a low starting price and a $$ meal level can both be correct. It is not a promise that we have checked every item for the absolute lowest price.
A local example
The directory owner reported paying $11 including tax at Taqueria La Esperanza for two steak tacos and one pastor taco, all at the same price.
$11 ÷ 3 ≈ $3.67 per taco
That supports an approximate From $3.67 item price and a $$ Moderate three-taco meal. The item estimate includes tax and is rounded from the reported total, not an exact individual menu quote. Report supplied October 18, 2026.
We prefer current individual menu prices and label calculated estimates with their tax basis. Prices and portions can change. Check the listing’s menu and confirm with the truck. We are reviewing price details as listings are updated; older price levels may still be provisional.
How ratings work
Each reviewer selects a score from 1 to 5 for both:
- Food Quality / Flavor: how the food tasted and its quality.
- Value for Money: how the food and portion compared with the amount paid.
Both scores carry equal weight. A review’s overall score is their average.
5 for food + 3 for value = 4.0 overall
We add the two scores and divide by two.
How a truck gets its overall score
The truck’s score is the average of its approved, rated reviews. Each review counts equally. For example, approved reviews of 4.0 and 5.0 give a truck 4.5 out of 5. Pending reviews and replies do not count.
A truck with no approved ratings has no score yet. “Be first to review” is an invitation to share an experience, not a zero-star rating.
Reviews are checked before publication
Share an honest, first-hand experience and keep it respectful. Avoid spam, promotions and personal contact details. Your display name, rating and review may appear publicly; your email address stays private. A published review is not a verified-purchase badge.

Featured listings
“Featured” identifies special placement in the directory. It is separate from the dollar price guide and community star ratings.
Featured placement does not add stars, change the review calculation or guarantee a better experience. If a placement is paid, that payment does not buy a higher customer rating.
