Let's get this out of the way first, since this seems all anyone wants to know, is it better than In-N-Out? I will preface this by saying I have eaten at In-N-Out more often than I can count. So, the verdict? In many ways its exactly the same, and in a few, its better.
I was excited to see this food truck by our place, glad to see them out during these times and happy to support them, and I can promise you I will be back when they roll up again! I downloaded the app and logged in early, when you select to place an order and select the date and time it will tell you where the truck is during that time. I confirmed they would be here and happily placed my order for a Cali Double (A Double Double) and the Cali Fries (Fries Animal Style). The order was hot and ready when I arrived at my requested time, along with about 10 other orders, yea words out, this place rocks. Let me also tell you I knew this place was going to be good when you can smell it from a block away and it makes your mouth water!
Got back to my place and my food was still nice and warm. First up the burger. A nice soft bun, 2 good sized patties, juicy and full of flavor, all the fixin's including the grilled onions and thousand island. I closed my eyes and imagined myself in Cali, took my bite and was pleasantly surprised to have the flavors and freshness that i was expecting. This is a solid burger on its own and definitely reminds me of an In-N-Out burger.
Next up the fries! Now let me start off with saying I am not a fan of the actual fries that In-N-Out serves. I know, I know, they hand cut them right in front of you, freshly fried etc, that doesn't make them great ya'll. Do i eat them, of course i do, but I like a crisp fry (which In-N-Out's never are) and one that has flavor on its own. Cali Burger delivers on both fronts and with the familiar grilled onions, cheese and thousand island, they do a better fry than In-N-Out. Their fries are crisp, cooked to perfection, and lightly salted. These are the fries you wanna eat.
These guys know how to make a great burger, definitely check them out if you want a great meal and if you're craving a taste of the Cali fav In-N-Out you will not be disappointed.
Now let me address some of the other critiques i read here on yelp. The menu was extensive. I could have ordered multiple tyburgers, bacon burgers, chipotle BBQ burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, etc etc. What more do you want from a food truck? There are plenty of options for everyone here. As to the price, I paid about $15 all in. People complain that because its a food truck its too expensive. I don't care if its a food truck, food cart, or 5 star white table cloth restaurant, when you use quality ingredients and make a great meal you can charge an appropriate amount. This was worth each and every penny of my $15.
