 Sometimes you don't get it right the first time.
Sometimes in my quest to try every food truck, I'll order what I perceive to be a small menu item only because I want to try multiple trucks. This sometimes causes me to overlook great signature dishes.
Other times it seems, some of the trucks actually read the Yelp revues and take action.
Bottom line, either of there scenarios become the reason for a second visit.
I visite 2 such trucks recently and I'm happy to twll you that both of these trucks seem to have made improvements over time. On one of the the difference was nothing short of amazing.
So I'll start there.
The Go Country 105 Chuck Wagon has actually gone to the extent of giving their menu a complete makeover with new items and is being powered by a new chef.
Well I have to tell you it looks as if they nailed it!
I tried some crispy pulled pork sliders and I was very impressed. This was some of the best pulled pork I've ever tasted. The rolls were a little small but there was so much more meat than those small buns could hold that it made for a quite enjoyable chew.
Good going guys, you've gone from 2 Yelp stars to 4 in my book.

The other one I retried was Streets of Thailand. Here was an example of me choosing the wrong menu item when I tried them the first time. They used to make the Thai BBQ chicken skewers that go with the sweet chili sauce. Without getting into detail I'll just say that these left something to be desired.
Well, on a revisit to this truck I noticed that this was no longer on the menu, (Good decision guys), and their signature pad thai was calling to me. This was very good! One of the better pad thai's I've tasted. I got it with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly as well as the noodles and all in all I was regretting not having tried this sooner.
I'll keep an eye out from now on.
If a truck gets uniformly bad reviews, (including my own), and still manages to stay in business I will assume I missed something and give it another try.
It sure paid off this time..
