Sausagefest Food Truck

Horrible food. The only fresh item on this truck would be the damn ice. Unprofessional service, especially when the young man was constantly speaking of snorting pills instead of meth. I was upset that the owner or coworkers did nothing of this. I ordered a smokey Robinson and that sausage was undercooked. The bbq sauce tasted fine until I realized a chunk of crusted up bbq sauce was my next bite. Seems like these people do not know how to clean the bottles or something. The so called «grilled onions» were very slimy and seem like they just sat in a pan for hours. The bread was as hard as a rock. I took 2 bites and could not stand it anymore. I ended up asking for a refund and when I did the young man rolled his eyes. I asked to speak to the owner and the young man stated the owner comes and goes. I was given a number to call. I called directly and spoke to a man named Oliver which is the owner. His words to me were «sorry for your experience but I’m doing a major line of Coke right now and your gonna have to shove all that up your a**» hung up on me. UNBELIEVABLE! I don’t recommend anyone to eat here unless your willing to get drugs in your system or some type of health issue due to the lack of leadership and dignity. Worst Vegas food truck by far!

This review is a tale of two sausages.
I have frequented the food truck on several occasions at various events like the Las Vegas foodie fest, food truck gatherings (namely at Lees liquor events), UNLV and lastly SEMA. Each occasion has been a 4* event up until this last experience.
I have always been a fan of the their menu with the longinisa banh mi being my default and favorite whenever we visit.
We spotted the food truck on our way from leaving SEMA to the monorail and decided to take a detour and grab a bite to eat before we left. Being that they were parked inside the convention center for a major event, I expected to be priced gouged.
For around $ 20 I got a longinisa banh mi, bacon cheddar fries and a bottles drink.
The food we got was not the standard that we were used to from these guys.
The fries barely filled the tray and was topped with lukewarm cheese sauce and burned bacon crumbles. The sausage was equally empty and disappointing as there was barely any slaw or sauce on the sausage at all. It looked like they were rationing and stretching the food to maximize output. Compound that with the astronomical prices associated with the convention center location, it left me sad and empty; just like my sandwich. They did themselves no favors getting greedy on both ends of the spectrum with the high prices and the substandard misrepresentation of their food.
I hope that this is an anomaly for them and they represent themselves and their product properly going forward. It’s good food when it’s done right however for now I cannot put my stamp of approval on the food until we see positive changes.
Sorry, but it’s the honest truth.

Overpriced and not very tasty. Ordered Chicago hot dog (onions and mustard). Had 3 pieces of onions on it. The hot link was good but that was ridiculous. Chorizo fries had 10 small nuggets of burnt chorizo. For $ 23… Go else where.

This truck did our community event The food is amazing.

At CES, where bad food is around every corner, it was refreshing to see food trucks. Sausagefest, in particular, came highly recommended. The longanisa banh mi was an interesting sausage. It didn’t really taste like longanisa nor did it really taste like a banh mi. It was just an average sausage on a bun with lightly pickled daikon/​carrots. I was full but it didn’t hit the spot. Perhaps their American choices will fare better.

Tried the longanisa bahn mi and it was oh sooo delicious! The longanisa is the Ilocano version (yeah Ilocanos) and it went so well with the daikon, carrots, and jalapeño peppers. I recommend if you like your food spicy. Great people who own it as well.

These guys were at the opening of downtown summerlin and the menu looked good so figured I’d give it a shot. Ordered the banh mi sausage and really enjoyed it. Very interesting take on banh mi that I thought worked. Ingredients were fresh and flavors all went together really well. Fresh cilantro, cucumber, sausage, sriracha (sp?). Worked for me.
Also, they screwed up my order resulting in a really long wait, but they really turned what was a bad experience into a win for them… Comped the meal and really seemed sorry that it happened. Said they didn’t have an excuse and they hoped I’d give them another shot. Well I will next time I see y’all.

I love love love the Chipotle Fries. This truck was a t my work for a few hours, and I ended up going back to get another order of the fries. The Chorizo is so good on the salty fries. The texture of the meat is more like bacon, but taste is still very Chorizo.
The lady up front was very nice. She handled the large crowd and multiple orders in a nice timely manner.
My co-​workers all had chicken tenders and fries and they loved their food as well.
Thanks!

We went to the Brews & Blues Festival at the Springs Preserve (an awesome event, BTW) and decided to grab a bite to soak up some of our beers. Although there were several food vendors to choose from, the Sausagefest menu was most appealing.
My husband had the Smokey Robinson, which is a hot link with bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce. A little too much sauce, but that was one tasty sausage. I wasn’t as impressed with my bahn mi sausage. The longanisa was fine, but there wasn’t enough of the toppings (cucumber, daikon, and carrots) to give it much flavor. We both enjoyed the crunchy rolls the sausages were served in, but we didn’t care for the bland, overcooked fries we ordered as a side.
I’d give this place a lower grade except service was friendly and super fast, and the prices weren’t bad for a food truck ($ 7 per sausage). If you see the Sausagefest truck rolling your way, stick with the Smokey (or maybe the Mexicali, which looked good as well), and avoid the fries.

Kinda 2 stars, however, food was quick and decently priced ($ 10 for a sausage link and small side of fries, but it’s beerfest, did you think it would be cheap?). We ordered the sausage with peppers and onions. I guess what I didn’t like is, one, the roll completely fell apart after 2 bites. Two, the pepper and onions didn’t have much flavor.
I expected more on one hand, but then again, with having to feed so many people and wanting to do it quickly, I got exactly that.
I would not be in a rush to try this place again, that’s for sure.
But hey, try it yourself and maybe it’s different when it’s not at Beerfest.

And they are lucky to get one star! I ordered a Chicago style dog, it came with grilled onions and grilled peppers. OK, well I guess they have never been to Chicago! Well I guess I’ll roll with it, so I went back up and asked if I could get a little sauerkraut. The guy said sure and started to reach for it when the super friendly female worker (sarcasm) said, «no that makes it an $ 8 hot dog!» seriously, for 10 cents of sauerkraut? I said «well this really isn’t a Chicago dog» she said «too bad, it’s what you asked for» really? At this point I just asked for my $ 7 back which she was more than happy to give. Advice to this Roach Coach… If you are going to sell something called a Chicago dog wiki it at least, second if someone wants 10 cents of a hot dog topping on a $ 7 hot dog, it’s FREE.

I tried Sausagefest at last year’s AFAN’s AIDS Walk, but wasn’t really impressed with my selection. I don’t recall what I had, but I just remember that it was underwhelming. After the Ugly Sweater Run, I was hungry and still had my beer in hand so I figured I should get something to eat. After reviewing their menu, I was intrigued to give it another whirl.
I went with the Mexicali ($ 7) which has a bacon wrapped beef hot dog, chorizo, cheese, tomato, onion, mayo, and mustard. It’s served with fresh cut fries. Really good flavor and completely satisfying. I also tried their special, Pulled Pork Fries ($ 6), made with 12-​hour smoked pork, cheese, BBQ sauce, sriracha aioli, cilantro, and onions. Good stuff! I love all the flavors in both selections.
The dog is pretty pricey, but I’d much rather have this type of food at festivals, etc than stadium food! The guys were also really friendly and helpful with selections. It’s a worthwhile choice for a food truck!

Five star for a food truck. Love the sausage and fries.
Food, service, and experience all melded together for great experience. I had the polish with fries and it met the expectations like the old Chi Town feel. The buns and fries were excellent. The sausage was thumbs up. I will definitely return for more when I’m in Vegas.

I love it when food trucks come to UNLV because that means I can easily walk outside the library to grab something tasty. The Sausagefest food truck has been on campus for awhile. Yes, the name is suggestive, but the food is good. One day I had the baja chicken sandwich meal and another day I had a longanisa banh mi sandwich meal. A sandwich, regular cut fries, and a drink currently costs $ 9. They also have a card that’s «Buy 9 meals, get 1 meal free!» and you can purchase a meal either at the Sausagefest food truck or their sibling truck, Tacofest for it to count.
baja chicken — baja chicken sausage, avocado, tomato, onion, chipotle salsa
longanisa banh mi — longanisa (Filipino sausage), carrot, daikon, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, chili paste, mayo
I feel like there’s too much bread/​too little sausage in the sausage-​bread ratio, but the food is delicious and I’m left full afterward.

I am generally not a food truck person because I don’t like standing in a long line to order food that you then have to balance on your lap or eat in your car. There was a bit of a change yesterday when I tried the Sausagefest truck at the Ugly Sweater run in downtown Las Vegas. There was no line and I could bring my sandwich back to an area where there were some seats and be comfortable eating.
I walked over to the truck after fellow Unilocaler Edwin P. walked over. I was looking at the menu boards when the gentleman said they had a breakfast burrito. I looked at the filling and decided that would be it. He gave me a choice of chorizo, bacon, or half bacon — half chorizo. I went with the ½ and ½ option.
In a short time, my burrito was handed to me. It was quite large and it was very hot! The burrito was filled with scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions, cheese, peppers and both chorizo and bacon. I had asked for it spicy and the sauce they used was spicy although I could have walked back and gotten some Sriracha.
The sandwich was very tasty and very filling. I will look for the truck at CES where he’ll be out front. It will give me a chance to try something different.

Saw this fun looking food truck parked outside the entrance to the convention center while I was attending the NAB show a few days ago. Decided to give it a shot for a quick bite as I had little time running back and forth between client meetings.
Holy crap are they kidding me? All sandwiches were $ 10? Are we being held hostage here or what? I have to admit the Milwaukee Brat sandwich was pretty tasty but it was not all that large and not worth ten bucks. All drinks were $ 4 so for a brat and something to wash it down with was $ 14! If I would have gotten regular or ranch fries it would have been another $ 3. Yikes!
I’m all for free enterprise and everything but why did my butt hurt when I walked away from this truck?

Sausagefest made another appearance on the UNLV campus last week.
The menu had some promising choices; I had a hard time deciding what to order. I settled on the longanisa banh mi and ranch fries. My two girlfriends got the longanisa banh mi (she broke my rule of ordering the same thing in a party!) with chorizo fries and baja chicken with fresh cut fries.
There were two registers open which helped speed along the checkout process. One sandwich and fries set me back $ 7; so I can’t complain too much. The food came out super quick too.
The ranch fries were super salty, and they were just okay. They were just fries tossed in hidden valley ranch powder. My friend’s chorizo fries were good though. Maybe it was the slew of goodness smothering the fries (chorizo, cheese, jalapeños, etc.) but I wished I had ordered those instead.
The sandwich itself was just okay. I didn’t think it was that spicy honestly. The longanisa was overpoweringly fatty and I felt the sandwich was a tad one note. It was missing the spicy jalapeño kick and salt from the pickled vegetables. Although I could see garlic chili paste on the sandwich, I couldn’t really taste it — and my heat tolerance isn’t even that high.
Overall, it was okay. I would probably try something else off the menu if I ran into the truck again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to find them.

I first had Sausagefest at the Las Vegas Foodie Fest @ The SIlverton.
It was so tasty and had so much flavor that we went back for 2nds.
Now I follow them on Facebook to find out when and where they will be next!
I just wished they came to the Summerlin area because we would be in heaven.
Our sausages were $ 6 each and had what looked like maybe sauteed celery and onions!!! Either way it was just yummy flavor.
I recommend following Sausagefest on either Facebook or (I don’t tweet) twitter so if you haven’t tried them you can give them a try and see for yourself.

I love sausage! ;^)
SITREP
Haha! And obviously I’m referring to the products of the Sausagefest Food Truck (I hope!). Meeting some local Unilocalers the night before at Unilocal’s Fremont Street Experience, I had a hankering to go back the next night to Fremont Street and take in more of the local sights since I pretty much stayed put the night before where our Unilocal party was. And boy am I glad I went out the next night.
SETUP
Like most Food Trucks, they employ at best a very random schedule that takes them all over Las Vegas (to maximize their coverage — and possibly avoid violating local ordiances requiring a food truck to not stay in one location for more than 60 – 90 minutes.
As luck would have it, the Sausagefest Food Truck was making the rounds and I was able to catch it, and grab a great sausage with grilled onions and peppers. Along with some fries we were looking at only $ 9. Well worth it just to have something different and not associated with a Casino buffet for a change.
PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION
The vendor told me that they actually get their links from L.A. and they are delivered to them. I can believe that since their spiciness rating from my tastebuds puts them on par with some of the best links I’ve had in L.A. when hitting the clubs their in Hollywood.
I wasn’t too crazy about the soggy fries, but that is just one thing mediocre amongst so many things done right. A solid 4-​Star experience.
THE LOWDOWN
The Sausagefest Food Truck is a great local tradition here in Las Vegas!

Every time I see this truck I want to try something different, but at the end of the day I get the Longunisa Banh mi.
Vietnamese style bun that’s stuffed with the filipino sausage longunisa with the traditional bahn mi accompaniments of pickled radish and carrots, cilantro, and spicy peppers. Spread with a spicy chili sauce. Bomb. The owners are really cool guys and have done a great job tearing up the social media to advertise their truck. Whenever I see this truck around, I always order something.
