Flippin Yolk Truck

This place was bomb. Somewhat expensive for an egg with rice and meat and stuff but hey, can’t say it wasn’t delicious. The rice marination was on point and the egg lived up to the name of the truck. I haven’t tried the tacos or any of the other stuff though.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this truck. The menu looks really tasty, but the sisig is just OK. I would recommend the other meats, though I usually do like sisig.
What I have gotten… The flipping silog w sisig (sisig over garlic rice with a fried egg). What sold me on this combination was the fried egg. The egg was good, but the rest was just OK. 3 tacos w tapa, tocino, and sisig. This was a far better choice, but leads me to believe I should also try the flippin silig with tapa or tocino. They were the stars.
I will probably try again.

Flippin Good! Takes me back to my Tita’s tocino. Loved it after my #ElectricRun.

I love this place sisig burrito is bomb. Very high quality

I’m not a huge fan of the food truck phenomenon because I think they are all over-​rated, serving overly greasy and overly salted foods. Flippin’ Yolks was at a local community event today and I have to admit, they are actually pretty good! They serve great homestyle Filipino food, which reminded me of food cooked by my friend’s father. Not too salty, not too greasy, but full on flavor; I would go to them again. I tried the Tapa with garlic fried rice and fried egg today.

Ugh!!! I’m flippin’ pissed I didn’t check Unilocal before eating off this truck.
I checked out all the food trucks lined up in Cerritos, Ca and this is the only one that sparked my interest, I got the Tapa Silog (Beef with garlic rice and a fried egg and some cabbage) It was not Flippin good, just ok.
I had to pour some Tapatio on it to spice it up and some more vinegar for flavor.
I noticed I only had a few pieces of beef, mostly rice.
I was able to fill out a survey as first name: «Bubba» last name: «Gump» for $ 7 towards any truck so my meal was only $ 1, Awesome!
As I was eating my meal I kept salivating, not literally over hubby’s hamburger and fries. It was a sad waste of calorie intake that night. lol
RANDOM FACT:
Filipino cuisine is distinguished by its bold combination of sweet, sour and salty flavors.

I’m starting to think that the ship has sailed on Filipino food trucks. There’s no way that the market could sustain all of them and my main rational for thinking this has mainly to do with the quality of the food being cranked out by the Flippin Yolk.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a pretty big portion of food, but the problem was that I was expecting something that I get with Pinoy food… tons of flavor. Hell, even just dousing their burrito with some all purpose sauce would have been leaps and bounds higher in terms of the taste profile. What I was getting from the Sisig burrito was just a lack of any flavor.
If I do come back to this truck, which I doubt I will. and even if I attempted to, I’m sure it will probably out of business before than, I will have to remember to pack my all purpose sauce, cause this bland burrito sure as hell needed it.

I stopped by the Flippin Yolk today, and while I was totally satisfied, I was not in the least bit overwhelmed by my Sisig Burrito. my first impression was the short, stocky burrito was just about the same size, weight and color as my Diet Pepsi can.
My second impression was, well actually there wasn’t a second impression as the burrito was really not memorable at all. There was nothing exceptionally wrong with the burrito but nothing really right with it either. There was plenty of sisig, diced ino very small bits, each about the size of a Tic Tac.
And while the menu also promised garlic rice, I can vouch for the rice but wonder whether there was actually any garlic. The burrito also included a fried egg, cabbage and atchara. They added to the texture and heft of the burrito, but again no flavors jumped out me.
The meal was 9.00 including a Diet Pepsi.
Gourmet Food Truck #210 on my never-​ending quest to try every truck in «So Cal»

My friends and i was at the zombie walk in long beach… decided to try this food truck out since the other trucks had really long lines… and im sooo glad i did!
I ordered the «tapa silog» beef with glarlic rice and egg… this plate brought me back tothe vacation i had in the phillippines 8yrs ago!.. the rice was just amazing and the tapa was seasoned just right… my friend ordered the sisig (pork) and i had a few bites. And wow this plate too was just as amazing as the plate i ordered! Its too bad this is a food truck and not a sit down restaurant… iv been waiting for this truck to post up close to my vicinity… i need to try the other items on their menu!

They take credit card but tack on a fee for it. I really wanted to try tocino. I placed my order but got served tapa instead — didn’t have time to bother with clearing up the mixup. That was okay, nothing special. Dang I wanted tocino…

@FlippinYolk
In an already crowded and volatile market Flippin Yolk comes along to crave our hunger for Filipino street food.
Yes, move over White Rabbit, there’s a new sisig slinger in town!
They portion out their menu this way, first choose your meat!
The choice are of course sisig (pork), Beef Tapa, Chicken Adobo, Longanisa (sausage), Pork Tocino and Spam!
You can get any of these choices in the form of a taco, burrito, silog (rice bowl), or quesadilla.
I tried the tacos because well, that’s the best way to compare trucks since they all make tacos.
So for the standard three taco order I got one sisig, one longanisa and one Tocino. Curiously, my favorite was the Tocino and the Longanisa.
The sisig was great, it’s pork belly, how could it not be!
But the other two were tastier in my opinion. I got an order of garlic rice to go with it and I was a happy truck stalker. The garlic rice was cooked exactly right and even after adding Sriracha I still loved it.
How do they compare to others?
Well I think White Rabbit makes a better Sisig but everything else is slightly better here. And the addition of the silog gives them a little more variety.
With the Pinoy trucks coming and going i have to think this is a tough specialty to make it in.
I hope this one finds the same kind of success white Rabbit has because they are just as good if not better in some ways.
So what’s left to add… Only this.
…Stalker Approved

I love Filipino food so when I saw that the Flippin Yolk Truck was going to be across from Sony I knew what I was getting for lunch. The Washington lot usually has the same food trucks so it was awesome to see Flippin Yolk on the schedule.
Upon my walking arrival I took a peak at the menu. It all looked good but I seem to always have a hankering for Spam. Nom nom nom Spam! «Spam it’s pink and it’s oval, spam!» I digress. So! I got the Flippin Silog with spam. Holy crap the rice was delicious. The combination of the super nomtastic rice, perfectly cooked egg, spam and pickled papaya were super tasty and the portion is generous and filling.
Thanks for making me fatter! :)

The flippin yolk truck stopped by my neighborhood one night and I decided to try one of their burritos, pinoy style. I got the chicken adobo burrito which came with garlic fried rice, egg, chicken adobo, and some sort of sauce and veggie. The burrito was short in length but thick. When I looked at it, I thought I overpaid because huge chipotle burritos are the same price ($ 7). Anyways when I tried it it was pretty good. Flavors went well together although I felt like the chicken adobo was just… chicken. I was expecting more adobo flavor and/​or adobo sauce in the burrito.
The truck offers other items… basically filipino meats (longanisa, spam, adobo, etc) served in different ways (tacos, burritos, rice plate, etc). In addition they serve some desserts, and filipino drinks. Overall this truck was okay, I just feel like there can either be more originality in the way they presented their food, or if not the food could have had that WOW factor.

I was delighted to try Flippin Yolk at the 21^st Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture (FPAC) at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro. Flippin Yolk is the newer Filipino Food Trucks in LA, having opened on June 17, 2012, and at FPAC they were parked alongside White Rabbit and Neri’s Curbside Cravings, both good trucks among the handful of Filipino Food Trucks in LA. Generally, I’m partial to new businesses, new trucks included, and this one did not disappoint. Many of the foods from the trucks serve similar meats – tapa, tocino (sweet pork), longanisa, spam, chicken adobo (some places have pork or both) – across the board, but each has its distinct style and flavor. Flippin Yolk’s menu consists of items that you would typically find in a Filipino breakfast, especially the egg, though it can be enjoyed any time of the day.
With your choice of meats mentioned above, sisig, or spam, you can have a Flippin’ Silog (this being «traditional» and the rest a little «fusion»), which is served with egg, garlic rice, and atchara; tacos with a corn tortilla, shredded cabbage, and a Tapatio aioli; R.J.‘s wrap, a burrito named after one of the chefs, has a flour tortilla, garlic rice, fried egg, atchara, and chipotle mayo; or fried rice bowl with scrambled egg.
I tried the R.J.‘s rap with sisig. Sisig is made of pork cheek and belly marinated in citrus soy sauce and it is chopped and sautéed with onions, serrano chilles, and with chicharrones. R.J.‘s wrap is pretty much the same as a silog but in a wrap and a few more things. I had a tocino taco and the tocino wasn’t that sweet and I decided I may have to try it again (as a wrap or silog) to have a better take on it.
For dessert, my friend had the turon, which is a deep fried banana, and we both thought it was pretty good. I’ll have to try the deep fried leche flan, which I know would be interesting since I make a killer flan myself.
Service is great. Most likely the guys I saw are the four friends who started this truck. I like the shirts that say «Flippin’ Yolk» and has a pic of a fried egg and the truck itself is even simpler looking. I like egg. I like this truck.

LONGGANISA BURRITO.
This truck is stupid how good it is. I RARELY say this but having eaten here half a dozen times I can tell you I’ve never been let down. Find this truck and order anything.
SO.
FRICKIN’.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

adobo chicken burrito. BOOM! you’ll be happy you did.

This is the newest Filipino truck to hit the scene. I was reminded of Tapa Boy truck that I hadn’t realized closed down their truck in February.
You get to pick your choice of meat: sisig, tapa, chicken adobo, longanisa, tocino, or spam. Then you choose how you want it: taco, burrito, quesadilla, silog.
I chose tocino and to have it with a plate of garlic fried rice, fried egg, and pickled papaya; Silog, on their menu. The tocino was good; a little sweet as it should be. My coworker got the tapa. I let her taste my tocino and she liked it better. She wasn’t a fan of the pickled stuff but I gladly took it from her.
That day, I had the option of making it a $ 10 combo by adding a dessert. I don’t think this is permanent on their menu. There are two choices; turon (banana lumpia) or deep fried leche flan. I went with the leche flan since it was different to have it deep fried. I didn’t think it was that great. Although I know flan is made with plenty of egg yolks, this tasted like cooked eggs. The inside wasn’t silky and smooth like a flan should be.
The $ 10 is kinda pricey, considering that it didn’t come with a drink. Based on flavor, I would have them again but would skip dessert. Gotta support those Filipino trucks.

Flippin’ Yolk is flippin’ good. I don’t know much about Filipino food, but I know what I like. And I like this.
I’ve had grub from some other other Filipino food trucks, and each one has its own style. But I gotta say these guys have some stand-​outs. I tried the Tocino and the Sisig, and they are both winners. When it comes to food delivery systems I don’t go in for bowls, I like the sandwich or burrito format. So I went for RJ’s Burrito (aka, Rj’s Wrap).
I like Tocino cuz it’s a sweet pork with lots of texture. But sometimes, it is so oily that I can’t finish it off. Not the case here. Their tocino is still sweet and crunchy, but also juicy. They don’t obliterate it with over-​frying, so the oily feeling is absent. What you get is a good balance of sweet, juicy, porky meat.
Their Sisig is dressed up in garlic and onion, and features pork cheek and the ever-​important chicharónes, which adds some texture and crunchiness to the meat. I don’t usually go for this cuz of onion breath, but I end up with garlic breath anyway, so what the hell, why not.
What’s great about both of these is the additions. The Ginger cabbage slaw adds a nice tart crunch to offset the salty fatty meat, which would otherwise be overwhelming by itself. And the garlic rice and fried egg bump up the creaminess and flavor, rounding out the whole thing nicely.
So Flippin’ Yolk stands out for being filling without being coma-​inducing with oily meat overkill, and they get extra points for that.

Being a filipina myself, I’ve eaten quite a bit of filipino food. Most fans of filipino food have their own favorites and we all favor a different type of style and seasoning.
I’m usually picky about my «tocino» and «tapa». I saw the Flippin’ Yolk Truck as part of the weekly Thrusday night truck event at my old High School. I thought I’d give it a try. For $ 6, you get 3 tacos with your choice of meat. So I ordered this with 1 tapa, 1 tocino, and 1 sisig. The tapa (marinated and grilled beef), is tasty, tender, and had a mild smokey flavor from the fire grill. All the tacos are made with solf corn tortillas and topped with atchara (pickled shredded cabbage and carrots). The tocino taco (sweet marinated pork) is tasty and not too sweet. LOVED both! The sisig, I’m not a big fan of. It’s tasty, but it has pork ear and I don’t prefer that. Most pinoys do, since traditional sisig is made with the pork’s slow roasted n crispy head.
Overall, I cannot wait to order from them again. The food is so delicious and tasty. The staff works quick for such a busy line, and they work very clean. They are also pleasant and nice.
By the way, for a food truck, they accept credit cards. A definite plus! In addition to their tacos and burritos, you can also order those meants with rice and that includes an egg (traditional). They also offer deserts like turon (fried banana spring roll) and friend leche flan.
See you again soon!

I tried this new truck for the first time at Northridge Din Din A Go Go this week and they were probably the busiest truck there — It was delish!
I had the pork tocino wrap (burrito) and it was amazing! The garlic rice is very garlicy and made the whole dish more flavorful. The small amount of shredded cabbage gave it a nice crunch and the fried egg inside was a nice surprise. I have eaten from a few other Filipino trucks and this one has a little something different. I really hope to see them back in the Valley so I can try some of their other menu items. YUM!
