I recently visited the Spices Garuda Food Truck in Russellville, AR, and wanted to share my experience and the meal. They are located kind of across the street from the Walmart Neighborhood Market for those who might now be familiar with them.
It was lunchtime, 12:20 pm to get exact when I arrived at the truck to place my order and the service at the window was prompt and super friendly.
The menu on the truck is vast and has plenty of options ranging from fried noodles to fried rice, spring rolls, hibachi, and more. Many of the options come with your choice or beef, chicken, tofu, or shrimp. So definitely something for everyone when it comes to proteins.
They did appear to be busy preparing call-in orders that were ahead of us so our order took about 20 minutes, but that was fine because it was hot and fresh when the buzzer went off and I picked it up at the window.
So if you want to try them, and you have time restraints because of a lunch break then definitely call in your order so it will be ready when you get there to pick it up.
I ordered the Mei Tek-Tek (Fried Noodles) with shrimp. It already has tofu and then you can choose from the beef, chicken, or shrimp like I did.
The saucy noodles came with lots of veggies. pieces of tofu and shrimp, and a heart-shaped fried egg on top. As far as shrimp, the only thing I will say is that I wish there had been a little more to make the protein a little higher.
The shrimp come cut up into smaller pieces, so you definitely get some scattered throughout the noodles, I just felt like there should have been a bit more, but the flavor of the noodles was amazing and I was very happy with my lunch choice.
I don’t remember the price of eggs exactly but I believe it was around $13 or $14 again, I can’t remember exactly because my order was combined with another person’s that was there with me and I don’t remember seeing a receipt.
I also tried an order of spring rolls which you can get with or without meat so I chose the veggie options, which didn’t disappoint.
You can choose between 3 or 5 I believe, so I ordered the 3 pieces to share with my son, and they were super nice and through in a 4th one. They were hot and very tasty, and the crispy crunchy outside was so satisfying. Yum!
With the delicious food and friendly service at the window, I will return for another lunch day in the future and hope you will give them a try as well.
