I’ve recently gotten the pleasure of trying two meal options at the Spice Garuda Food Truck near the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Russellville, AR.

You might have seen the review I shared on the Mei Tek-Tek Noodles so I definitely wanted to come back and share that I tried the Shrimp Fried Rice.

Their food has always been so hot and fresh for me so this fried rice was not exception.

It is a nice-sized portion of flavorful fried rice with some carrot shapes and small pieces of heart-shaped egg. Just like their other dishes, you can order it with your choice of protein: beef, chicken, tofu, or shrimp.

I was extra hungry so wanted to up my protein with this one, so I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice and asked to add tofu as well.

As I would have expected, and was fine with, the addition of the tofu does cost some extra, but it was worth it to me for the added protein during a time when I’m not able to have beef or chicken.

The combo of the shrimp and tofu was perfect. It did seem that there were more tofu pieces than shrimp pieces, so I wish there was a little more shrimp, but as far as flavor and portion size of rice I got plenty of food and would order it again.

If you don’t eat red meat or chicken, then this food truck might be a great option for you and your family since you still have a couple of protein options here with the shrimp or tofu. It’s a great option for our family during Lent.

If you have an order that you enjoy at this food truck, please comment and share it with me so I can try it next time. I’ve also tried their Mei Tek-Tek (fried noodles) if you want to check out that review you can click HERE.

A take out plate of Mei Tek-Tek Noodles from Spices Food Truck

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.

Four Spring Rolls from Spices Food Truck.

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.
