Canvas Food Truck and Catering

Canvas Food Truck came to the Hall of Administration today. Downtown LA. Glad me and T skipped the other two trucks and hit up Canvas. I had The Chix and T had a burger prepared to order. Fries for both. It was absolutely perfect. And the young lady that takes the orders is very personable. Great tasting food!

Food was excellent. i love the idea of the bed of greens in my sandwhich and spinach wrap if i want to go light. Burgers are big and their salmon burgers are amazing.

I’ve been waiting for those truck to come by our place of work because I saw my colleague eating their burger. When finally I did I had the chefs burger and garlic fries it was worth every penny. It was expensive but the quality was very satisfying. Can’t wait for them to come back next time.

The Salmon Burger and a side of fries ($ 14). Could not have been better. Perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy, best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. The lady taking my order was very nice and the man at the grill knows exactly what he’s doing.
It’s working.
I’ll stop here every time I see the truck.

Super impressed by this truck. At first I was like farm to table food truck? Erm, no thanks. But then work was busy and I couldn’t leave the office so I had no choice. O.m.g. totally yum grass fed burgers and many other fun options. I had the Chef Style Burger, no bun please (sigh). Bleu cheese, carmelized onions, and pepper aioli. They served it on a bed of lightly dressed greens, which was very impressive coming from a food truck. The burger was cooked exactly how I requested it, and it was very juicy and flavorful. They didn’t skimp on the bleu cheese or sauce, and thoughtfully left out the carmelized onions per my request. It was also reasonably priced.
My co workers got the MR Burger, the one with all the mushrooms. They loved it. Also cooked to their liking, and the bread was soft and the perfect size.
We can’t wait until they come back to our office!

Today I walked over to grand park hoping there would be a food truck. I came across three, one of which I tried already. I checked out the menu on this one and figured I would give it a try. There was a pretty good variety of menu items but I ultimately tried the chef style burger with fries. The chef style burger came with smoked bleu cheese, something called drunken onions and roasted pepper aioli. The combination of the onions and the smoked Bleu cheese was pretty delicious. I honestly couldn’t even taste the pepper aoili. the bun was kind of a sweet roll which kind of ruled the the taste into one. The burger and fries came to $ 15 which was kind of expensive but it was worth it. This truck was a pleasant surprise.

Awesome… everything from the food to the guys working the truck. Brisket Sandwich and Garlic Fries were DELICIOUS!!! My co-​workers also raved about the bacon fries and grilled cheese so I’ll have to try next time. I’ll be back again!!!

I stumbled upon this food truck while on a lunch break at work. When I walked up to the truck, I started to frown because it is very non-​descript looking. Kind of ghetto actually. I had zero expectation about the food and had prepared myself to yet again waste another $ 12-​$ 15 on another crappy tasting foodtruck meal that over promised and severely under delivered. Every single day, we have food trucks at our office and everyday, I end up throwing away what I ordered.
Well, that was definitely NOT the case with Canvas!!! When it was my turn to order, I decided to order the 3B — bacon cheeseburger. Again, I had zero expectations of it being even halfway edible, but I was hungry. When I got to the window, the guy taking my order had the biggest, brightest smile! I ordered my burger and he says, «it will be the best burger you have ever eaten!». I’m looking at him like, ‘yeah right… whatever dude!”. I paid my $ 15 for burger and fries and patiently waited for my number 59 to be called.
When my burger and fries was placed in my hands, I damn near flipped because the burger was so big and gorgeous!!! And the aroma… OMG… the aroma from the lil piece of Heaven that I was about to eat was unreal! Once I got to my office, the delicious aroma of this burger spread thru our building! I had at least 10 people, including the President of our company, came and asked me where I got my burger from. I could not remember the name of the truck because it is so non-​descript looking. So, I am now in my lunch meeting and I finally get to tear into this heavenly concoction of grass fed beef, applewood smoked bacon, homemade bbq sauce, gooey cheese and the most gorgeous hamburger bun I have ever seen. The damn thing was buttery!!!
When I took my first bite, I swear Heaven literally opened up and Angels started singing!!! I literally almost started moaning like I do when I am about to have an orgasm!~! I am not effing kidding! I told my team, «if you all hear moans coming from this side of the table, just ignore them because this is the best f*cking burger I have had in my entire life!!!». My brain could not comprehend the complexity of the blending of the flavors, the juiciness of the perfectly cooked meat, the sweet savory twang of the bbq sauce and the f*cking BUN!!! WTF??? It was grilled in butter and literally melted in my mouth with every bite! I could write paragraphs about how amazing the bun was! I found out that the buns come from Homeboy Bakery!!! The burger ended up being too big for me to eat so I gave a fourth of it to my co-​worker sitting next to me. When he took his first bite, his face literally looked like he just came in his pants! I am not kidding! It was insane! He just sat there smiling in a burger haze!
I spent the next 2 hours talking about that damn burger! Luckily, the Crave food truck will be back at our office on Wednesday of this week and I guarantee you, they will sell at least 100 burgers just from me talking about how good it was!
This food truck is the best in Los Angeles and I have had almost all of the known ones. Hunt this truck down, stalk them, do whatever you have to do to experience the culinary orgasm in your mouth that is Crave Food Truck and Catering!

Visited the Canvas Truck and Venice Beach this week and have to say I was not impressed. Looks are deceiving in the case of the relish burger. That’s not its name but the burger had a huge glob of relish on it like it was attempting to make up for everything the burger lacks. First I’ll say the burger is HUGE. It’s enticing and beautiful. But don’t be fooled because that burger is a black widow and your taste buds will be dead after eating this bland burger. There was nothing special about it. The fries were sad too. Seemingly undercooked and floppy. What a sad way to end your potato life. RIP. I also got a grilled cheese sandwich that was 50% butter.
Another bothersome aspect of this experience was the cashier. In our short interaction he must have used every female term of endearment in the book. At one point I felt he must be reading from a list! It was like, «Ok, baby», «Yes, hunny», «Relish, sweetheart». To be fair he did call the next male customer «dude» so maybe it’s just his thing but it was a bit off putting.
All in all you’d do better saving your money on this one. Thumbs down.

So good! I happily ran into the truck today at the convention having been wanting to try it for quite a while now. At the chefs suggestion, we ordered 2 brisket sandwiches and a turkey wrap. The brisket was insanely flavorful and tender! My friends devoured it within 5 minutes. It was a great choice. I wanted to go lighter since it was a really hot day, so I got the turkey wrap. It was so juicy and refreshing! The turkey was not dry at all, and the veggies were lightly dressed with vinaigrette. It was really perfect for what I was craving. The portions are huge too and we were super full. Definitely come here to eat if you ever get a chance to. It’s the most fresh ingredients I’ve experienced at a food truck to date! Really great service too!!!

Life changing. That’s the only way I can describe their stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches. From the delicious bread to the perfectly cooked crispy bacon to the ginormous amount of cheese. Never can have a regular grilled cheese ever again!

Ahi wrap (seared) = super fresh and delicious! Wish they stopped by my work area more often. I’m full, and I feel good about what I ate.

The lobster mac and cheese and the bacon cheese fries are so amazing!!! This is a must try food truck. Their menu is unique and the customer service is great. Can’t wait to come back to try the other items on the menu! Thank you so much for a wonderful food experience :)

Got to try them for the first time at the Long Beach Folk Revival Festival. I got a burger and garlic fries and it was probably one of the best burgers evah! Huge juicy patty, mixed greens, avocado, cheese and onions, yum. Definitely on par with some restaurant burgers I’ve had. The parmesan garlic fries were awesome too, but when my friend got an order a little while later hers was undercooked. I guess they frequent the festival circuit; if you’re looking for simple but fresh good food, this truck is a safe bet.

Sweet potato fry heaven.
What is better than that? Well they figured it out. A delicious remix of sweet potato and pumpkin spice sang melodies on my taste buds. Paired with a free range turkey patty wrap with the freshest of ingredients made this a meal worthy of the pickiest connoisseur.
The prices are fair considering what your getting but they do charge to use a card.
So grab your cash and your appetite, you will enjoy lunch all over again ;)

FINALLY! A salmon burger that is an actual wild salmon steak and not just ground up dry salmon in a patty.
«A Cut of Fresh Wild Alaskan Salmon served with Farmer’s Mixed Greens, Vine Ripened Tomatoes and Onions with Roasted Pepper Aioli»
No joke, it was so delicious, and flavorful. The veggies weren’t wilted, but were so fresh. And the Hawaiian bun? Best choice ever. That sweetness of the fluffy bun with the fish and Aioli really made my week!
Highly recommend it!

Wow! Impressed! I had the luxury of eating this delicious gourmet food at a beautiful residential home in Pasadena back in May for a 10 year Death Anniversary while I was bartending the event with Goose on the Rocks bartending services. Canvas Foods was catering the lovely event. Their whole team, owner, partner chef Arturo, wife and the rest of the team did an awesome job and were very nice people. Norma & Selma did amazing at making sure myself and team were taken care of. The food was delicious! I would not have expected it to be from a food truck if I had not seen it parked out front upon arriving. Thumbs up!

My review is based on the turkey burger and garlic fries. The turkey burger is bland. It wasn’t seasoned at all. The garlic fries is just ok. There’s nothing really special about it. I feel like I just wasted my money.

The truck has a boring name and somewhat boring and simple design, but the food is quite colorful, exhilarating, and liberating. Nice guys manning the truck, that helps.
With burgers, brisket, turkey clubs, and fancy fries being offered… it was a tough decision of what grub will take flight among my mid section most.
1. Carnitas Fries ($ 7) — a mound of super tender and lean carnitas atop crispy fries and cheese. Freshened with a sour cream and a little salsa, oh yeah baby. Suggested improvement: carnitas was nearly cold… but still, way good.
2. 12 hour Smoked Brisket Sandwich ($ 10) — whoa. Again, super lean and tender meat with caramelized onions. Way way good. Suggested improvement: dump the bun for another, and a little less liquidy. The bun didn’t stand a chance after 4 bites.
Wipe mouth. Wipe hands. Thumbs up.

Realized there were food trucks across the Chevron gas station in the South UCLA campus area, and had to stop by! That previously empty lot seems to be a hotspot for food trucks now, with a couple parking there every day for lunch and dinner!
My coworkers and I dropped by on a lovely Friday late morning for some grub. At the time we got there, we only had two trucks to choose from, and after checking out the menus and what they had to offer, I went for Canvas Food Truck.
I was so delighted by my choice, ultimately going for the Chef Style burger! This was the first food truck I’ve ever come across that actually cooked their meat to order, however you like, just like a gourmet restaurant. They serve only grass fed beef, so it would make sense they would want to cook their patties to perfection, and not ruin it, overcook it, or work it too much. Needless to say, I went with my steak gut, and ordered my burger medium/​medium well. For $ 10, it was burger well worth it! The Chef Style was a pretty hefty burger, with lots of bleu cheese, their signature drunken onions, and roasted pepper aioli. They also don’t skimp on the meet in the patty — I’d say it was a good ¼ if not more.
I would love to come back and try more of their goods. Hope they’re stopping by next week!
