By far the worst food truck experience in my life. Avoid if you're looking for a quick, well priced meal.My order of fries and a shrimp burrito took 43 minutes and my buddy's chicken quesadilla took 52 minutes. Yes, I timed it because it had taken so long.OPERATIONS:Went here and wanted to love it based on social media hype and good reviews. There were 4-5 people waiting for their food ahead of me. I expected a 10-20 minute wait, maybe 25 if they were slow. I was not expecting the wait would be nearly an hour. This is simply too long for a food truck.Order fulfillment seemingly is in scrambled order, as some customers were served their dishes within 20 minutes of arrival. I saw many customers arrive after me and leave much before me, which was incredibly frustrating.There were four employees in the truck. Two were sitting for the majority of the time and not doing anything, even when the grill is large enough for two.The difference in time between my and my buddy's order was 9 minutes, although we ordered at the exact same time. Standing outside, my burrito became cold by the time we were able to eat.SERVICE:I did not receive any notice that the wait would be nearly an hour or even any estimation at all on completion time. Had I known the wait would be longer than 30 minutes, I would've gone elsewhere. Not once during my 50 minute wait, when I was in eyeshot of the truck the entire time, did the employees notify me of the status of my burrito. This would be normal for a 20 minute wait, but for such a long wait, some confirmation that my order was actually being cooked would be nice.PRICE:The value is poor. My burrito was $15 and fries were $5. The volume of the burrito is about 1/2 a chipotle burrito. Much skinnier and shorter. For the $15 price tag, I was expecting a very beefy food truck burrito. The fries were standard size.This would be a good value at $8, a standard value at $11, and a terrible value at the actual price of $15. One could go to a genuine restaurant and get a great burrito for $15.FOOD:The burrito tasted good. A bit sweet for my taste, with the jollof rice reminding me of a sweeter ketchup-y taste. The shrimp were well cooked. However, my burrito did not include sour cream as listed on the menu. Small point to nitpick, but it shows the inattentiveness and lack of detail. I considered giving a 2/5 because the burrito tasted pretty good, but ultimately the lack of consistency between the menu and the actual item reduced it to a 1/5.
Delicious fresh food. Crab tacos are my favorite dish to order here. Nice proprietors too. Always a line at the food truck.
Salmon salad is a great look
The truck looks clean and the bass fish sandwich was really good, that was my first time there
I was so lucky to taste Afro Taco last night at NJPAC's Sounds of the City. Delicious! This is a unique twist on a taco, with special Ghanaian rice. Super fresh and satisfying.
I've had tacos all over the world. Afro Taco's crispy shell shrimp tacos are my favorite. The rest of their food is OMFG-good, too. My friends go crazy for the salmon burritos, chicken Jollof bowls, and veggie soft tacos. If you see the Afro Taco truck, stop whatever you're doing, and get some! Even if the line is around the corner, it'll be worth it.
Out here with Afro Taco downtown Newark under the lights. Amazing food and wonderful music and fun crowd. I think I have a new hangout.BTW did I say this is the best food I had in a long time...#gogetsome
I just left there Washington park !!!!! The hole set up was cute music out door seating! order the steak n shrimp oh my God the food was awesome!!!!¡ My new go to spot on Friday!!!!!!
I had the pleasure of tasting a chicken burrito while working Rahway’s Juneteenth event. Wow… I really enjoyed the unique combination and nicely seasoned dish. Thanks so much!
Great food. Great service. Not 5 stars because no one seems to answer the phone. I live to far to drive and find out they're out of something or not open. Please create an online ordering system or have someone man the phone.
