 Royal Oak, MI - Green Zebra Food Truck; It's nice to see a truck changing their menu and trying new and complex dishes. I've now tried four different dishes, all being ok, and one being very good. If they can elevate the other three, this could be an amazing menu for other trucks to have a tough time competing.

Irish nachos with oberon cheese sauce is made with homemade chips, which is a big plus. The specialty in this item is their sauce. The oberon sauce sounds better than it is. Its good, not anything that I would send back, but I had higher expectations for the flavor. It unfortunately didn't have enough flavor. You could tell that the Oberon does enhance the flavor of the cheese, but the cheese still over powers the additional flavor.

The Michigan PB & J was one of those unique items that I had high hopes. It's grilled well and has a nice unique flavor, but it does fall short on ingredients. It needed more P, B, and J. Those ingredients are not that important right? It's worth trying though.

Turkey Swiss mushroom grilled cheese is supposed to add a unique item to the menu, but I really didn't think it had any elevated complex flavor. I'm not a huge fan of Swiss and some places have several items that help compliment the swiss so it's not so strong. Unless you are trying to highlight the Swiss cheese, then I would either add something to it or decrease the amount of cheese.

Lastly is the Sliders. This is the dish that saves them to get the third star. The meat is cooked well and more importantly seasoned well. The meat still has nice juices inside and the condiments of spicy green chilies with an avocado mayo give it a really nice flavor. They added nice flavor and crunch with the crispy onions. I would easily order this again and happily eat it.
