Red Truck — Restaurant in Truckee

Ordered a bunch of food to go. Good service. I got the tikka masala burrito and my parents got the naanwiches of the same variety. We had hummus and chips, and samosas. Chips were obviously homemade and DELICIOUS. Crunchy and crisp and a big hit. Samosas were light and flakey and the right balance of pastry to filling. All in all the burrito could have been more flavourful. But my wrap might have been folded a bit wonky because it got better toward the end once it was more evenly distributed instead of just filler. Like it took me a long time to get to the chicken because I kept getting stalled by the filler. Still delicious but definitely doused it in sauce -- love the avacado and harissa.

I was also disappointed that their specials online did not coincide with the specials on site. Very nice cashier, but our food was sitting there for a while before they gave it to us (we arrived just before a lunch rush so that was probably part of it and we waited an extra +7min easily). Definitely not her fault, she was polite and courteous and swamped.

Location kind of out of the way but still one of the best experiences I've had from a food place in the area because it tasted great and the order...

The food was amazing. TBH I was not excited about going to an Indian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant (officially "modern eclectic"). I love Indian and Middle Eastern food, but have never been a fan of fusion. But boy was I pleasantly surprised!

I had the bowl with falafel, and by gosh, by golly, Red Truck has the best falafel balls I've had in the US. Super clean tasting (no oil flavor contamination), full of umami flavor, and a pretty green color inside from fresh cilantro and parsley. The only better falafels I've had were at Mi Va Mi in Paris, but they've since closed. The sauces were on point and the overall bowl experience was amazing with hot sauce! Also the service was awesome: friendly and helpful. It took a while to get our food, but they were slammed. I'd rather wait for great food than get fast, mediocre food!

My wife got the samosas, which were delicious, and my son got the falafel burrito through an order mix-up, but they caught the error and brought his vegan tacos a bit later. Everything was delicious.

What a gem! Red Truck is definitely worth a drive out of your way if you like good food and great falafels. We'll definitely be back next time we're at Heavenly...

Update: definitely get the chicken sandwich special when they have it! But make sure you order by noon (you can call ahead). Lives up to the hype! Finally checked out this place and was not disappointed. Arrived just before 12:30 to about ten people already in line and they had already run out of their chicken sandwich special but I wanted the falafel bowl anyway which was fresh and delicious. I added the avocado salsa which I wish was thicker but the taste was great. The outside patio area is great for kids and dogs if you don't mind the occasional sound from the jets which you could still talk over if you spoke loud enough, so it gets a ding for atmosphere because seating inside was hard to get as well, but if you're getting food to go then it's a good option. Plenty of...
