The Sloppy Jos

Pork Taco

What luck that we were staying at The Rio, and SloppiJo’s was going to be parked behind the Palms, located across the street for lunch.

We tried their newest creation, fried Mac & Cheese with pork. Karen and I also shared the Chicken tacos made with diced green chilies, cheese & cabbage.

For dessert I got the Tres Leches (3 milk) cupcake, and Karen got the Chocolate chip cookie with a brownie in the middle. They also had a chocolate cupcake with chili powder on top (which we passed on).

Another customer had the Pork taco, made with guacamole, pickled onions, & the Sloppi jo, which is slow roasted pork with red chili sauce topped with a fried egg and picked onion.

Tasty Bunz

Happy Endings, a dessert combo

A tasty bunz

Tater tots, Lumpia (eggroll) and the Mccheesy Tasty Bunz

After visiting SnowONOshaveice and Hanshiktaco, we decided to head back toward the Strip to try Tastybunz.

Tastybunz are soft buns filled with meat. We were actually full from the first three trucks, so we sampled a few items. Karen ordered the “Happy Ending” dessert sampler, which are pot stickers filled with white chocolate, peanut crisp, and chocolate banana.

I ordered the Mccheesy, a mushroom bun filled with truffle Mac & Cheese, an order of “Mom’s Lumpia”, and Truffle Tots.

Crazy’s Sweet Dough

Hanskitaco

After chasing down Islandbreeze, our next stop was a half hour’s drive across town at Lee’s Discount Liquor at 7411 Lake Mead Boulevard.

SnowONOshave ice and HANSHIKTACO were there.

Karen got her usual shave ice flavors (Banana & Strawberry) and I tried the Horchata, Lychee, & Melona with Azuki beans. Both shave ices were snow capped.

At Hanshiktaco, we shared the Pork taco and the Crazy’s Sweet Dough.

It’s only 4:00, and we’re stuffed, but our quest to find GFTS is not over…YET!!

Island Fusion Wrap with Ahi Poke Tuna

Teriyaki Chicken bento box

Spam Breakfast Plate

Island Breeze parked on the UNLV campus

My very first Vegas food truck was Islandbreeze. Thus, it is only natural that in my quest in chasing a Vegas truck, I make a stop here.

Finding Islandbreeze, however, was a challenge. On their web page they said between Leid Library & CBC on the UNLV campus. After asking several students, driving all along the perimeter of the campus, we finally spotted the truck. It really was ON the campus, next to the Koch Auditorium. We were lucky and found meter parking behind the library and some copy center.

I ordered my favorite, the Island Fusion Wrap with Ahi Poke Tuna, and the Teri Chicken Bento box (which had rice, noodles, spam & chicken). Karen picked up the Spam Breakfast plate (2 scoops of rice, 3 slice of grilled spam & egg).
