Feastro

Saw these guys at the food cart fest this past Sunday, the truck definitely caught my eye especially when I saw they offered ceviche (my favourite summer food). I was even more excited when I bit into the tortilla chip to find it tasted house made. Now for ceviche, it was good in my opinion but not as good as it could have been. Not sure if it was because of all the free samples but I think I’ll be back to try it again and even the rest of the menu and I’m sure my rate will go up

Saw their truck at the food cart festival and had a small sample of their salsa and chips which tasted fresh. I appreciate it when things are straight to the point. Good customer service.

I love it. I eat from this truck all the time. I work right downtown and recommend them to everyone.
The Dirty Fries are amazing and the sandwiches are outstanding.

Pulled pork sandwich with fries, pretty good. By Vancouver BBQ standards (which suck), it’s one of the better things I’ve had. The slaw is a little weak but overall flavor is there.
The cashier is friendly and professional. They turned my order around faster than a lot of food trucks do. And when I went, they were parked in a really nice spot with benches around (not sure if that’s their usual spot).
Hooray for food trucks!

We had a specially catered event with Feastro and it was ok, just not as good as I had hoped.
Fish taco — small, barely had enough inside. Even if it was more cabbage that would help.
–flavour — 4 stars
–portion –2 stars
–would I want more? Yes, and no. Needs to be bigger!
Pork taco was twice the size of my fish taco. I was satisfied with this.
–flavour — 4 stars
–portion –4.5 stars
–would I want more? Hell yeah!
Fries on the side?
They were good, I’d say average for what I’ve had in the past with other foodie truckers.
There is a lot of potential there, but as a group, we noticed that some tacos were bigger than others. there has to be more uniformity with the food.
The flavours are spot on. They’ve got that part right.
People are paying top dollars for food truck food and it has to look good too.
Would I try it again?
Yes.

My friend and I came here because we needed a quick bite and saw that they were voted the «best tacos» in Vancouver, etc. so we thought it’d be worth trying out. We tried the ahi (special item that day) and fish tacos and were sadly disappointed in both of them. We agreed that we could’ve made them ourselves since the fish was flavorless and all we could taste was the normal (like out of the jar) salsa in each taco. definitely not worth the $ 6 we paid for each one. I guess two stars instead of one though because the food was fresh and service was good. I’m not sure about this place though, if they advertise their tacos and they’re below average. I don’t think I’d want to risk trying the other stuff. Not going back! :/

Their pulled pork sandwich was awesome!

Was at the Vancouver Convention Center for a conference and stumbpled accross this truck for lunch one day. Excellent food. I had the fish sandwich, very high quality, nicely cooked, great poppy seed coleslaw on it. I’ll go back next time I am in Vancouver (hopefully soon)

I ordered a fish taco. This taco was delicious! For $ 5 I was expecting it to be bigger, but the taste made up for it. The fish was delicately seasoned, and sprinkled with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. The exterior was flakey and crispy, and the interior was soft and moist. The taco shell itself was doughy and soft. Definitely not a meal on its own, but makes a great snack.

Everything was bleck… pulled pork and fish taco was nothing great. Had way better at Sal Y Limon and tacofino. The prices are on the high side.

Stopped here after a long walk through Stanley park. It looked promising. Wasn’t disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich and the fries were both delish. I’ll come back the next time I’m in Vancouver.

My favourite food truck. The fish tacos are fresh and just an amazing blend of ingredients and seasonings.
For a more straightforward experience the battered snapper sandwich is great comfort food. Hits the spot after a tough morning at work.

I was looking for a place to eat when I stumbled upon Feastro — they certainly seem to be in good locations. I got the Feastro’s fish taco and it took quite a bit of time for me to actually get it – and my lunch break isn’t that long. I assumed that, for $ 8 a taco, I would get a fair amount of food for my money. Nope. It was hardly a meal, and did not have that much ingredients to it.
I’ve always assumed food carts were inexpensive and you ended up with large portions. Not so here!

My first visit to a Vancouver Food Cart, had to wait until I was with the Queen of Vancouver Food Cart Tours in case I went to the wrong place :-)
Had their Pork Taco with Watermelon Lemonade combo, without the jalapeño peppers as I am a woos, and it was much more than I expected. Their was a lot of pulled pork and had to eat a lot of it before I could close the taco, which to me is perfect! Myfriend had their scrambeled eggs benny, wow was that a lot of food for the price, I am definitely coming back to try that one! Plus they took cards which I was initially worried about as I do not carry cash which made it even better

After two visits to Feastro, I’m a fan.
On my first visit I had their Ahi Tuna taco. So delicious and (I think somewhat) healthy? Lots of greens and the ahi was very fresh. And what a huge serving!
On my second visit, I had their crab & fish cakes. Or should I say, crab & fish BALL. And a huge massive softball it was! I could barely finish it myself, but it was so filling and flavourful. Suggestion — serve this dish in a bowl instead of on a plate.
On the downside? For a food truck, it is pretty pricey. For an Ahi Tuna Taco, Crab Cake/​Ball, and 2 Lemonades — it came to $ 30. Whoa.
Ah yes, the Watermelon Lemonade. It is very refreshing.

I tried almost all of the food trucks at Unilocal’s Canada Day Block Party, and Feastro was by far my favourite. Having lived in San Francisco I have eaten a lot of tacos in my lifetime, and Feastro’s pulled pork taco was on par with the best! I would definitely seek this truck out to try more off their menu.

Besides to fantastically catchy name, ‘Feastro, the Rolling Bistro’, I didn’t find their food absolutely amazing.
My husband and I decided to try Feastro today for lunch. We order two things and they were the Halibut Taco and the Fish and Chips.
The halibut taco was too plain for me. It lacked flavor or depth. The fish itself however, was delicious and tasted very fresh. The fish and chips was better than the taco. The fish was lightly battered and the batter was fluffy. The fish was melt in my mouth good. The coleslaw was bland and nothing great. The fries were average.
I’d give this place another shot though, it has potential.

On a random Monday, a bunch of us gathered by Waterfront for lunch at Feastro food truck to feed our hunger pangs.
I was impressed by the full menu and range of options available. It was hard to choose. I ended up with a (large) taco and split an order of poutine. I thought $ 17 for both was on the expensive side.
I went with the prawn and prosciutto taco. That’s the special chorizo. The tacos were massive and difficult to eat and bite down on.
The poutine was a mixed bag. It was big, but there was not enough cheese or gravy. I was disappointed. I probably should have stuck to the seafood options.
The food was good and I was full, but I wasn’t entirely sold. The seafood was fresh, but pricey for lunch at a food truck and a bit of an awkward eating experience.

We were attracted to Coal Harbour on this sunny day for some good eats. The line up was pretty long so we thought it was a safe bet. The food that was coming out looked good too… in fact, the sheer size of the Shrimp & Crab Cake was mind-​blowing. It was, quite literally, the size of a softball, topped with crispy tortilla strips and on what appeared to be a beautiful salad.
My friend and I shared a yam fries, and I had the Crab & Avocado Taco (fresh sheet) and she had the Halibut Taco. We ordered a Snapper & Chips to go. Here are my thoughts:
1. For 8 dollars, I would expect the crab to avocado ratio higher. There simply wasn’t a lot of crab to go around. I was then incredibly disappointed to find Pace Picante sauce (read, s&@#^ Costco salsa) instead of a nice fresh Pico de Gallo.
2. The yam fries were also mediocre. While well prepared, the only thing fresh about them was that they were pulled out of the freezer this morning.
3. My friend and I had gone to Tacofino last week for the fish taco. When she bit into her halibut taco she immediately said «oh.my.god… this is so bready and heavy» I looked over to see at least 3 mm of thick batter on her light halibut. She found the taco to be very unwieldy to eat — I did with mine too.
4. We didn’t eat the Snapper and Chips, but our friend reports that it was salty.
I really think they have a good thing going and maybe it was just an off day. And maybe the tacos at Tacofino were just THAT good that any other place will have a hard time competing. I’m not sure. I’d probably go back, but not for anything that had salsa or was Mexican inspired. I’d still love to try the Crab Cake and the Tuna Carpaccio.

This place is amazing. Seriously amazing. I’m so happy this little truck decided to make the trek from the Sunshine Coast and call Vancouver its home. Let me list the awesomeness for you:
The food is delicious. They try to use locally-​sourced ingredients, they have a fresh sheet of daily specials that line up with what’s available, and the portions are perfect for their price.
The price is right! The tacos are all $ 7, and I had the fresh sheet special of salmon and shrimp. So yum, and I would definitely buy it again in a heartbeat. They also have some fantastic looking dishes like scallop cerviche for $ 12 and bonzai prawns for $ 13.
The service is great. Steve and Paul are such nice people and really hard-​working. They’re great to talk to while waiting for your food.
I know there are a lot of food carts opening up in the city, but I really hope Feastro stays! Keep an eye out for the purpler truck right by the Olympic Torch. :)
