Okay - Fat Kid time. No joke, I ordered lunch today with little to moderate appetite. If you read my food reviews, you may note that lack of a voracious appetite is seldom an issue, but its cool outside & I'm just kind of 'blah' today. No biggie. I placed my order for 5th Ward (the main items are all named after Houston's Wards) which was fried chicken tender on top of Round pasta Mac & Cheese. I also got it "Throwed & Screwed" (Keeping it Houston 3 ways now - this time with Honey Sriracha, queso Blanco & a fried egg on top".) I'm here to say, this would make a mountain lion hug a jackrabbit. Holy Hell, it was amazing - like I am legitimately going to hunt for their home base. If criticism was required, I didn't tell them "easy onions" & by God, they believe in grilled onions. Food was served perfectly on time - and I was told of the ETA when I ordered, which was awesome compared to yesterday's food truck fiasco - it took 40+ minutes to get food I'd ordered using their app. Oh well - Homies made up for it! BTW - This almost special order was only $16 & some change; far superior in price to most trucks I've ordered from, and $2+ on mine was the tip. Apologies for latency in snappin' pics. It was a Beautiful boat before i dove into it. But, Check out the pics...
Read moreThe absolute worst food from a food truck I have experienced...and I was tipsy. An ensemble of things I could craft in my home kitchen with insufficient ingredients and spices. The fact hat the whole "Houston culture" is entwined in the naming of the plates Is disgraceful. I ordered the "fifth ward" and the Mac n cheese was noodles covered in sadness, covered in spinach, topped with a nicely fried piece of chicken breast. All in all I give the meal served a 4/10. After an investigative conversation with the owners, my review of the truck comes to a 2.4. They are from corpus christi....not Houston and that type of story telling rubs me...
Read moreOn a work trip to Houston, we had some down time, so my boyfriend and I went to Cidercade for a late lunch and something to do. What sold us on going there was the menu at Homies, as they were the featured food truck. The food was even better than we had imagined—the portions were quite generous, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. We ordered the Mac and cheese (meal not munchies) a breakfast taco, the chicken sandwich and peach mango space water. It was so good, I asked if they’d consider driving the truck up to Baltimore so I could eat the sandwich on a regular basis. You must track them down if you’re...
