Gourmet On the Fly

While Gourmet on the Fly seems to focus on gourmet hotdogs, they did have some fantastic-​looking tacos. So I had the steak taco, which was handsomely stuffed with great steak, lettuce, cilantro and that white, crumbly queso fresco sprinkled on top. What really made it was the chipotle sauce that topped it. It’s like a hot, tangy and smoky sauce that’s delicious. I need more of this stuff– on everything!
They served up these «Duros» along with the taco for an extra $ 1. They’re like puffed rice or some light pastry, served with the same chipotle sauce. It was like chips and salsa, but with a yummy food truck twist.
The service was fast and friendly!
I’ll try them again!

Had their chicken cheese steak. Huge. HUGE. Seriously overstuffed; you’ll need a fork and knife to eat it.
The chicken was not bad, would’ve liked more flavor in the schicken. Other than that, the bell peppers and onions were perfectly sauteed and the bun was nice and toasty.
Need to go back and try they beef cheese steak

It’s a food truck!
I don’t expect five star service, but still the guy was pretty nice.
Now the food is definitely five stars. My friend and I both get the sliders, and we’ve never been disappointed.
Five stars for the price, as well. Go for it, you’ll be glad you did. But be prepared to get addicted.

This place was awful.
I came here tonight (on a Friday) and wanted to try something unique. I had never tried Gourmet on the Fly nor heard of them (or Unilocaled them prior) so wanted to check them out. I was happy to see they had a philly cheesesteak (san antonio style with chipotle sauce) so I ordered that. My mom ordered some american burger sliders. We were so excited. So we waited, waited and waited.
I noticed the truck was getting a lot more busy so I went up about 20 minutes after ordering and asked where our food was in the line. I told the guy my name and he didn’t say a word to me but said something to the chef inside the truck. The guy said he was working on it, but still didn’t give me an approximate time.
Another 20 minutes passed and our food FINALLY came out except when we received the food there was no chips when the menu stated each sandwich would come with chips. Of course, I questioned the guy taking orders and he replied «Sorry, we ran out». That pissed me off to the core. WHY didn’t he throw in something else extra or lower the price?
Anyways, we were sat right next to the truck and right after we received our sandwiches, the guy proceeded to wipe off «…and chips» on each sandwich and lower the price by $ 1 – 2. I’ll never come back here and I wouldn’t ever recommend anyone checking this place out, unless you want to be misinformed and pay for food you aren’t going to receive.
Also, my cheesesteak was missing the chipotle sauce and cheese, but I couldn’t be bothered to argue with the guy. The food was horrible.
EDIT — A week after my original response I received a rude «compliment» from the owner of the food truck on Unilocal.No-​siree.

For my first sampling from Gourmet on the Fly I went with the sampler plate. For $ 12 I got two different sliders, egg rolls, the rice pilaf, chicken with pineapple skewers, and fresh made potato chips with dip. Everything was very good. My two favorite items, the sliders and chicken skewers.
The service is excellent as well. They do care and it shows.
I know on Wednesday they are generally at Revolution Room. For locations other nights of the week check their twitter feed or Facebook page.

First: I was with Ash M. when she came here! But I didn’t order with her. Still, I was witness. Just sayin… :P
Second: these guys whip up some damn good sliders. They had that really great ‘grill’ flavor to them — one that I can never seem to get enough of! My partner in crime ordered their sampler plate for about 12 bucks and he was nice enough to let me partake in his sampler plate goodness. It came with two different sliders, egg rolls, the rice pilaf that Ash M. mentioned, chicken and pineapple skewers, and some home made potato chips and dip. I wasn’t too keen on the egg rolls — not that they were bad or anything, I suppose it needed just a tad bit more flavor. The skewers were pretty good as were the chips (didn’t try the rice though which is surprising for an Asian. Also just sayin…)
Third: as Ash M. pointed out, they really go out of their way for their customers. They definitely acknowledge the customer — talk with the customer — and get a feel for what the customer is looking for and I like that a lot!
Fourth: I will definitely be returning for those sliders…

The food I’ve tried at Gourmet on the Fly lands around the 4 outta 5 stars area but what really sets them above the rest is their customer service. My friend and I stopped by strEAT food at Revolution Room to get some grub and our first stop was Gourmet on the Fly. I ordered some eggrolls and my friend ordered a Big Red Float. The chef told her he had forgot the ice cream and I looked over at her expecting her to blow up (I’ve heard horror stories about people telling pregnant women «no.») and she walked away grumbling.
After my order came out and was subsequently mobbed by said friend and I picked at what was left. The eggrolls were fresh and hot, obviously not HEB-​bought which was awesome. It also came with an order of rice, not fried rice but more like a rice pilaf. I wasn’t blown away by it but my friend was.
As we were getting ready to leave, one of the chefs ran over and told my friend that they had gotten some ice cream and would like to offer her a complimentary float. Very cool of them and we’ll both be loyal customers from now on.
