Me and my fiance tried their food for the first time yesterday and were blown away! He loved the beef biscuit and I had a few tacos, my favorite was the chicken tinga. Morgan and Kyle were friendly and quick to cook our food, we can't wait to try them again :) More...

TIN Kitchen is one of the best food trucks in queen city.....again I say the best!  I have been a fan of this truck for years and I was introduced to them at Southpark eats when I worked in that area.  They truly have something for everyone on this truck, vegan, vegetarian, etc.  I believe they have more than one truck and I've probably tried most of their offerings and have never been disappointed as everything has always been superb!  They're probably most known for the many taco offerings(buffalo cauliflower, stewed chick pea, chicken, pork belly, shrimp, beef brisket, etc.) and the salad and sliders are great as well.  I was able to try them again recently outside of the panthers stadium and this time I tried the garden veggie quesadilla with roasted peppers, grilled squash, mushrooms, onions, and garlic aioli with a side of quinoa and chips and salsa......everything was amazing, so if you come across this truck, give them a try.

Just had for lunch today outside the new Bank of America building off South Tryon. I ordered the #1 combo: 3 tacos or sliders and a drink. I had the Chicken Tinga (far left), BBQ Beef Brisket (middle), and Cilantro Lime Shrimp (far right). Everything was tasty and full of flavor. I'm not a fan of tomatoes but with the Chicken Tinga, I didn't taste the tomatoes at all. I would pass on the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Taco in the future. It wasn't nasty just didn't sit well with my taste buds. I'd definitely be visiting the Tin Kitchen Truck again. Their service was fast and my food was hot. I highly recommend them. Happy FriYay!

Make your way to the kitchen and don't leave until you try their food. It's too good to miss! This is a food truck you'll want to try! The food was prepared quickly, so I didn't even have to wait long.Variety: Good variety for a food truck. Ranged between tacos, nachos, street corn, etc. They also sell canned soda and bottled water. Price: Way to go, your prices rock!Quality: I am so impressed! The taco and nachos that I had were SUPERB. Much better than ones that I've eaten elsewhere on many occasions. The taco was juicy, super filled, and had me wanting more. The nachos inherited a stroke of creative genius! What a winner! I had no idea how I would feel about goat cheese on nachos with pulled pork on top, but you know what? It's the best risk I've ever taken and the reward was a very, VERY happy tummy. Heck yea, dude. Highly recommend you ordering those, just for funsies.You gotta go try this place! Great news is that it's on wheels and probably coming to a place near you, soon. Looking forward to the next time.

I had seen the TIN Kitchen rolling around Charlotte a bunch of times over the years and never gave it much of a thought or even knew what it served. That was a mistake....the food I had was A+. We ordered the chicken tinga & beef brisket tacos and then the chipotle chicken, pork al pastor and kids quesadillas with a side of ginger pickles. The tacos were great, but the quesadillas were the star of the show. The tortilla was buttery and crispy and the ingredients were tender and flavorful. If i were to come across this food truck again I would focus my efforts on the quesadillas. The only thing missing was a nice margarita. I typically don't like food trucks. They are usually over priced and overrated. And, it sucks eating food off a flimsy plate with a plastic fork while sitting on a curb of standing up....but, the TIN Kitchen would be my choice amongst the sea of trucks. More...

The Tin Kitchen is one of the OG food trucks in Charlotte and can be seen all over the city. Specifically they can be found at NoDa brewery on a permanent basis. This is such a good pairing of great beer and delicious food. I ordered an pork al pastor quesadilla which was just phenomenal and packed with amazing flavors. I also ordered nachos that were topped with a green salsa, goat cheese, scallions, and pork belly. I must say that the pork belly and the al pastor is ridiculously delicious! Trust me that if you eat here you will not be disappointed. More...

TIN Kitchen is one the premier food truck staples in Charlotte. They offer a wide variety of fresh Mexicanish food. Everything is delicious. I have had their food at various breweries (Noda and Sugar Creek) as well "The Old Food Truck Friday in Southend". The wait times can sometimes be long, but the food is worth it. If you see them out, check them out. You will not be disappointed. More...

I recently had TIN Kitchen for the first time at NoDa, and it was seriously crave-worthy. My husband and I split the pork quesadilla and pork belly tacos, both were delicious. The quesadilla was a large portion and the pork was perfectly tender. The outside was crispy and the queso fresco and sour cream were perfect refreshing accompaniments. I thought the pork belly tacos were very good, the pork pieces were large and the flavor was great. I was just kind of so in love with my quesadilla that I'm not sure I appreciated the tacos as much as they deserved. I'd definitely visit TIN Kitchen again to try the rest of their menu. More...

I've had this food truck while at NODA brewery, but it's always been great. The nachos are always my go to! Whether I get a protein or not, they are topped with a green tomatillo salsa, sriracha, green onions, and the best: Crumbled goat cheese!  This last time I got the shrimp, which was perfectly cooked. It really hits the spot with a good beer. More...

You know what... TK Cafe has been a few floors below me for years now... I literally go at LEAST once a week for either breakfast OR lunch. .. Now, is this place some sort of gastronomically unique gem?  No.  This is a deli.  Salads, wraps, sandwiches with delicious local breads, yogurt parfaits, omelets, cookies & muffins, protein shakes, freshly squeezed OJ, etc... BUT here's the deal... it's good, fresh, well made deli food, and Ethan and Christina there are WONDERFUL people who take such good care of all of us here in the 525 building!  I can't believe it's taken me so long to thank them properly, but I LOVE this place, and I'm so grateful you guys moved in! :) More...

I worked with Jodi in Chef's Catering and she was the best thing that I could have come across while planning my own DIY backyard wedding on a budget. She was patient, understanding, compassionate of my lack of awareness of many things, and accommodated so many requests that made customizing things for my wedding super easy. She was just heaven sent for a paranoid bride : ). They were already mighty affordable, but she always gave me an option to go even cheaper (Like arranging for my own alcohol while she offered services to tend the bar). She was super responsive to all my emails and kept sending me updates from her end as well. They have an amazing range of food on their menu and they are willing to customize anything you want for your event. I'd definitely recommend Chef's Catering to everyone and am definitely re-hiring them in future! More...

This is one of my favorite food trucks in Charlotte. They've been around for a while now and you can find them permanently at NoDa Brewing. We had a happy hour at NoDa so I decided to get some tacos while we were there. I went with the chana masala, cilantro-lime shrimp, and the cauliflower goat cheese (special) tacos. The chana masala was definitely my favorite of the three, but I really enjoyed all of them. They are pretty good sized tacos. They all had really good flavor. There wasn't a line when I was there, so the food was ready a few minutes after I ordered. They were really friendly and gave me some recommendations. If you haven't already, I highly recommend trying it! More...

Food trucks and tacos, enough said. I'm a huge fan of food trucks and I'm always happy to see Tin Kitchen at the foot truck Friday events. Who doesn't love tacos right? Luckily if you don't they have a wide variety of options like quesadillas for you who like to be extraordinary, but trust me when I tell you that these tacos are a must! I went ahead with one of their recommended tacos and got the chicken tinga. Omg! This is one my top tacos of all time. Never had it before, but it's now in the top.I was extra hungry so I got one of their quesadilla specials with chicken. I'm one of those extraordinary people who love things other than taco, but no worries I still love tacos.I love mixing these great tacos with my beer and enjoy having a nice conservation with the owners and chef of the food truck.Can't wait for the next Food Truck Friday to have another one of their delicious tacos.

I got the Chana Masala and Pork Carnitas tacos. The Chana Masala was a very flavorful mildly spicy yellow Indian curry and came with cous cous. Since I like spicy, I added sriracha and it made it way more delicious. The pork carnitas was medium spicy and came with green rice and pickled onion. The filling of the tacos was very delicious. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the corn tortilla was pretty tough and I like my corn tortillas soft. I would still definitely come back and would recommend. More...

I love a good food truck, but TIN Kitchen has set the bar so much higher than any other food truck I've had!They offer tacos, quesadillas, salads and nachos etc. and even have combo plates available (3 tacos for $10!) if you want to get a bang for your buck. The food is awesome, we ordered the following:*3 Taco Combo with Pork Belly, Brisket and Shrimp*Chicken Quesadilla Combo with Rice and Beans*Nachos (we did not add meat--though it is an option for $3 more)Everything was so tasty. The pork belly was my personal favorite, but all the tacos were fresh and flavorful. Each had it's own sauce that truly enhanced the taste of the proteins. The nachos also stood out as they are so different from what you expect. They are served with cotija cheese, salsa verda and a pretty hot red sauce. The chips are cold--which I know sounds strange, but the flavor profile with all the ingredients really works. Great experience all around! More...

Definitely has a kick-ass Korean flair, TIN Kitchen is one of those rare treats that I should seek out more often! Clean, simply designed truck that serves some dynamic and flavorful Tacos, Quesadillas, and SLIDERS. My two favorite I have tried so far are the Pork Belly Taco and the Korean BBQ Slider. Both have a "30-minute kim chi" and both have this outstanding hoisin glaze. I should probably branch out on the menu a bit more but damn did they make a winner here! The brioche bun they serve their Korean BBQ slider on is beyond what you would expect from a food truck, I'd love to know their supplier.Want to track down TIN? More than likely they are hanging out at one of North Charlotte's breweries. They're one of the few truck teams that are likely in multiple locations at once because they have at least three trucks that I know of! You can go to their website, click on trucks, and see the calendar that's updated very frequently and shows where all the trucks will be. The other CLT trucks should really take note at how TIN is doing their calendar, it's perfect!Prices are a bit on the steep side, but you only live once. And if you haven't had that Korean BBQ slider yet and you're in CLT, well buddy you just simply ain't livin'! More...

Had it today for lunch as it is convenient at my work building on Thursday! I had the pork carnitas quesadilla which was delicious! I am not a fan of spicy food and although this quesadilla was labeled as spicy, it just has a little kick but not too much to scare away the anti-spicy like myself! The pork was very juicy and I was delighted to see yellow peppers in the quesadilla. Usually most people use green since it's the cheaper of the pepper options. I would return again but I'm only knocking them a star for portions - this quesadilla is only 3 wedges but understandable for a food truck. More...

Several times I have tried to go to the Tin Kitchen Food Truck and the line is so long that I don't wait for it. But if the line is long, it has to be good. I caught it on a day at Wells Fargo when the line wasn't extremely long, but there were about six people ahead of me. Everyone told me to try the tacos so I decided on a three taco combo. There's plenty of different flavors from around the world. And in the combo you can mix and match. I got a buffalo cauliflower,  pork belly and pork carnitas. The ordering process and getting food took a total of about 20 minutes.Finally I got to eat the tacos. The buffalo cauliflower was a little lackluster. The buffalo taste wasn't as strong or spicy as I like it and there didn't seem to be enough of the cauliflower pieces. I did appreciate the Blue cheese slaw. Now what made me up this review to four stars instead of three, is the pork belly taco. The pork belly is cooked to perfection with a sweet sauce paired with fresh kim chee. I would have been very happy to order just three of these and this is the dish I would come back for. The pork carnitas was not as spicy as I had hoped, but had good flavor. The rice on the taco was a little dry so I wasn't blown away by it. I'd give it another try as I think I will enjoy the Korean slider and I'd be willing to try some other tacos.But I do hate the wait time for this truck. More...
