Visited the infamous Giovanni’s shrimp truck while we were in Northshore and it was average at best. We were the first people in line and arrived about 10 minutes before they opened as we heard the lines can get a bit hectic. The food truck did open a little late and this was due to a food inspection from a local food inspector. After we placed our order we discovered that the food safety rating for the place had actually dropped and the place was under review due to unsafe food handling - disgusting. We had already ordered our food so we decided to commit to it and the inspector did not shut the place down so I assumed we would be safe to still eat here. We ordered the half and half combo and of garlic and hot and we found the hot one too be too acidic. The hot sauce was basically just vinegar and chili flakes. The garlic one had a much better flavour, however the shrimp was overcooked and hard to peel. Also, they left some veins in some of the shrimp. The best part was the macaroni salad. It was creamy and delicious and we actually ordered an extra one after. The vibe was pretty cool as there was other food trucks in the area and there was benches set up for eating. Overall, the place has decent flavours and the price is fair, but I would not return. Ps. Be warned you have to pay for parking in the lot shared by the food trucks, which is pretty stupid even though it was a $2

Kind of like going to the beach, having some food truck shrimp is a MUST do, visiting Hawaii!! I heard so many stories and chatter how awesome the original Giovanies is the pinnacle of food truck shrimps. So we had rented a car and made a trip up north to discover this food truck. The parking there is $3, but I'm pretty sure you can find parking outside of the food trucks for free. And as you park, there are a good handful of food trucks showing off their foods, and the aromatics is drool worthy. And as expected the longest line was to Giovanies. We finally made it through the line, and the menu is really simple. 1. Scampi 2. Hot and spicy 3. Lemon / butter. We were told that lemon/ butter was a bit bland. So we got the original and the spicy. If you LOVE butter and glaric 1. Scampi flavor was great. But the garlic flavor could have been a bit more infused into the shrimp. Over all good flavor. And hot and spicy was good amount of spicy. But if you really like it spicy. It was like 5 of 10. The server said it has ghost peppers. The taste was kind of like a spicier tobacco. But similarly vinegary flavor. Overall worth making a trip to check off the "things to do" list, and as a food experience just do it. Thought it was a bit over priced, and the flavors could have been better.
