Really good! I got the chicken curry. Pretty decent portions, including a salad with mixed greens. I regret choosing the rice over the bread (the bread is the best part). I also wish they had more menu options, but overall excellent food and excellent service.

Busy thursday — passed by this food truck — Irish and Ethiopian — amazing combination. I tried Veggie Alecha. It was really awesome. They take credit card too.

Probably the dish that makes this place is the curry dish, the spicy aftermath leaves a trail of burn on your tongue.
The fried chicken is good, nothing spectacular but I liked everything. The chicken is a bit dry but the breading is thin and crispy. The sauces are good but they only had a sauce, tomato, and lettuce? I forget but I felt the stuff beyond the chicken was very plain and most of the flavor came from the chicken. Might be your thing, might not. I like a lot of flavors when I bite down in a sandwich, not just one.

I ordered the Chicken Zig from the truck around 12:45pm, later in the lunch rush cycle. The flavors first of all are pretty good. I would try it again.
The main issue I have is that it appears that it was pre-​made in the cardboard box before I ordered. Because of this the ethiopian «bread» was a soggy mush and everything merged with the salad, causing a mess of wilted leaves and making the salad unappetizing.
I would try this again if it was made to order and the cold salad separated better from the hot dish.

I LOOOOOOVE this food truck. The Chicken dish with the enjera bread is so satisfying! RIch in flavors, this dish is the ultimate comfort food. I constantly crave this as well as the curry fries.
I found that I like the flavors here more than any of the Ethiopian restaurants I’ve tried on Haight or the Mission or even East Bay.
This is definitely not a light dish, but so freakin worth it!

Yummy! This truck is a winner. Please come to Mission Dispatch more often.
I tried the chicken doro-​wat. For $ 8, I got an extremely generous portion, easily double of what other curry type food trucks give you.
The dish is kind of like a chicken curry, on top of sour Eritrean bread, plus a little green salad on the side. Very filling and super flavourful.
Can’t wait to try the Irish food next time.

We sure have some spoiled taste buds in this town, so sometimes we need places like EireTrea to give our wee tongue buds unexpected flavor parties. Look no further than the fusion fiesta that is Ethiopian and Irish cuisine — it’s a unique savory gauntlet that makes you wish your stomach had greater capacity.
The sour spongy enjera bread is something that grows on you, and eventually you can’t get enough of it. The chicken zig and veggie alecha are great choices, and don’t overlook the bangers and mash either. Everything is wonderfully spiced and packed with flavor, and it’s all cooked to perfection.
On top of all gastric goodness, I’ve brought them in for a couple office caterings and they’re lovely to work with. The dishes are anything but skimped, fulfilling dietary restrictions is smooth sailing, and the owner is a real gem. I wish I saw them at more downtown OTG situations, but I hear that getting into things like 5^th and Minna and Truckstop can be difficult. If you happen upon this truck, check it!

Irish and Ethiopian, WOW! I liked it even before I tried it since they are so unique but unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food as much as I had hoped.
We had catered food from EireTrea and I got to try several dishes. Chicken, beef, veggie curry dishes with rice and injira bread. They were all just OK and nothing stood out. So sad.

First of all, big props for having the most eclectic mix of cuisine I’ve ever come across (Irish and Eritrean).
That unique combo basically made my decision quite easy as to which food truck to try. I had the Ziggy Wrap, which was basically a burrito wrap layered with injera bread and filled with curry chicken, potatoes and spices. Really good. I will say it tasted neither Irish nor Eritrean (except for the spongy texture of the injera) but rather more like an Indian curry type burrito (a la Curry Up Now). Well, I love that burrito and now I love this wrap as well.

What an interested food trucking! Combining African and Irish Food. I had the ziggy wrap which was a burrito filled with chicken, curry, veggies. The outside of the burrito was very interesting as the outside was tortilla but also had injera which gave the wrap an sourish taste.
The chicken, curry and veggies were very flavorful and slightly spicy! It was interesting and I love everything that comes in burrito form!

Sure, we’re only across Market street from our old building, but the FiDi is another world from SOMA, so there’s a slew of new restaurants and food trucks to explore. I checked out Éire Trea and was impressed. The truck features a seemingly bizarre fusion of Irish and Eritrean foods, but it was really good! Apparently one owner is Irish, the other Eritrean and they got to talking. The rest is mobile history
I ordered the daily special: Beef Alecha — tender beef with sweet potatoes & cabbage. You can order any dish as a wrap, but I got the version that comes with a salad and injera bread. Good salad, good injera! I think they’re on Sansome every Wednesday — 221 Sansome, between Pine & California, from 11−2pm. But you can check on Twitter to be certain, @EireTrea.

We had catering today at work from Éire Trea and I LOVED it! The accompanying sauces were amazing (especially the red sauce) and I snuck in a few french fries too. My main dish was the Alecha wrap — curried yams, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and more wrapped in both Enjera and a wheat tortilla. I know that I’ll be craving Éire again sometime soon and searching out the truck!

Finally made it to SOMA Streats and found the EireTrea truck.
Got the Chicken Zig «Doro Wat» ($ 8) which was an Ethiopian chicken stew wrapped in injera bread. This was pretty spicy so the simple salad side was a nice cooling factor. Pretty large portion and very much a comfort like food given it’s stew consistency.
Not sure I would be able to have it often though. The spices did me in.

I think I would call this my absolute favorite food truck, ever. Flavors are great and unique, everything tastes fresh and spicy, and the people who work there are super nice.
I get the chicken zig. I’m still not sure exactly what I’m eating, but it’s delicious so I don’t care. Chicken, veggies, spicy, unique bread stuff. I’m in.
Only wish they came to Hayward OtG more.

Oh my goodness. Delicious.
I ordered the Veggie Alecha and while I’m pretty used to the type of curry served (thanks to my parents), injera was all new to me. The serving seemed hefty but I was amazingly able to eat the whole thing because the curry itself was mostly comprised of lentils, onions, and potatoes. The injera itself was so tasty and it probably helps that the berbere gives it a good kick.
My BF got the chicken curry over fries and I had a few nibbles of that which was also pretty tasty.

«‘Curiouser and curiouser!’ cried Alice. She was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English.»
SF Weekly suggested this may be the world’s first Irish-​Eritrean food truck. I now believe there’s a reason not everyone is running out to flaunt this combination. On their recommendation, I tried the Chicken Zig «Doro Wat,» aka chicken stew served in injera. It definitely wasn’t bad, it just didn’t taste like anything special. In a very broad description it was like a blend of Ethiopian (which boarders Eritrea) and Indian. With potatoes thrown in for good measure.
The ÉireTrea Twitter account states things simply, «Born and raised in Ireland and Eritrea, we have always had one thing in common: a love for wholesome, fresh and delicious food & come up with Afro Celt cuisine.»

Hearty Eritrean fare alongside Irish favorites, all in the same truck. Unusual, but still winning, combination where you have a large variety of choices among the two cuisines and a smattering of fusion entrees.
I stumbled upon this truck at a version of Off the Grid in Hayes Valley, and instantly gravitated towards the enjera combo, which allowed me to sample a number of their dishes on top of the tasty flatbread: chicken curry, chicken zig, veggie alecha, and lentils. All very hearty, quite tasty, and super filling, before I even got to the enjera underneath (as well as extra enjera they’d provided, all wrapped up).
The Irish dishes (bangers and chips among them) will be far more familiar to Western palates, but I’d definitely recommend trying the Eritrean options as I did with the combo, which is quite good value given that it’s more than enough food for two people.
A welcome surprise in the food truck scene!

I came to Éire Trea when they were parked at SOMA lot on 3^rd/​Bryant. I ordered the most popular chicken dish (1^st item on menu). What I did like is they have a small portion for $ 5 or larger portion for $ 7. The small was a perfect lunch size for me.
I enjoyed the salad that game with it, and the chicken came on a pancake type thing. That was definitely interesting. Maybe it would have tasted better with rice? But glad to have tried Irish cuisine.

I saw Éire Trea (EEE-​Ray Trey-​YA) pop up on a discussion on Off The Grid’s Facebook page and was very intrigued by their concept. Irish and Eritrean Fusion food. I don’t even know what makes Eritrean food so seeing their menu for the first time actually confused me. I did understand the Irish angle with the Chips and Bangers and I’m guessing that the food on the Eritrean side is the Chicken Zig.
I wanted to try something different so although their Niman Ranch Burger sounded tempting, I opted for their Chicken Curry Chips (
). You can get a small order for $ 5 or a large size for $ 7 which is what you see in the photo. This smelled really good! And the taste really surprised me. In a way, if you know your Filipino Cuisine, it kind of tastes like Chicken Afritada on top of a bed of Fries. So this was actually quite comforting. Hmm, I’m going to have to make this at home. Haha. I would definitely order this again on a cold day to warm myself up to.
I heard the Bangers and Chips are really good so I’m going to have to come back for those and they also have a nice variety of wraps to choose from as well. Very good so far! I’m a fan!
