Golden Meals — Restaurant in San Antonio

Golden Eats is an indelible food gem. The truck quietly tucked away in its unassuming beauty packs a punch full of authentic flavor. As a native New Yorker spoiled by terrific middle eastern style food trucks like Halal guys and Sammy's, I can safely say I know a thing or two about quality when it comes to this food. Mr. Hassan's friendliness is only second to his cooking.

I ordered the Falafel plate and the Harira Soup. Like Mexican food, one can gauge the menu by sampling carnitas; if they are juicy, the rest of the menu is good. Falafel is one of those litmus tests from which you can safely bet on the quality of the menu, and this falafel did not disappoint. It was crispy on the outside, moist inside, and with the right amount of salt. The Falafels comfortably sit on a bed of yellow aromatic rice, please drown them with the secret white sauce notorious with this style of food; oh yea, don't forget the hot sauce. Excellent even heat and not too acidic.

The Harira soup was vibrant and hearty. I am not a meat eater per se, but I did not mind shoving away the nice bite-size chunks of meat to find plenty of chickpeas and noodles. This one was also perfect in the level of salt and spice—a must-try. Last but not least, the salad was refreshing and with a heaping portion of olives and cucumbers—all in all, delicious food. The new Yorker in me approves. I will not be surprised if there a big lines and long waits in this food truck! Keep it up...

This place had a good reviews and since we were hungry for Pho it sound like a good idea. We’ve got Pho and the lemon grass pork. Soup was pretty tasty, full of flavors but the garnish was totally out of life, basil was dry with brown spots on the edges of the leaves and bean sprouts saw better days. Lemon grass pork was served with egg rolls and white rice. The pork was very salty for my taste, and I like salt, way over my salt tolerance. Egg rolls were on the other hand tasteless but crunchy and filled with ground meat. Hmm, something different. White rice nicely filled my belly since pork was, hmm, uneatable. Will I go beck? I don’t think so. Will I recommend this place? Not really, especially that it didn’t even look clean. Lastly, I have to add that the parking might be...

This is my 3rd time here and I've always stuck with the same thing. The first 2 times the food was amazing! Decided to switch it up tonight, not a good idea. The food I ordered looks nothing like the picture on the menu, the chicken shawarma is dry and so is the rice and pita. I also ordered humus with ground beef, (nothing was ground) and it was just as cold as the humus and there were no almonds as promised. And the prices on the menu don't match what I was charged. The best thing about this $40 order was the nuggets and fries I got for my nephew. 😩 Lesson learned.

To add to this review the gentleman I usually deal with wasn't there this evening, he was off. His name is Emaam, I may be spelling it wrong. But if he's not there if I decide to go back, I will not be...
