"Just had the loaded birdz fries and they were...okay. I ordered the spicy birdz hot and was hilariously questioned about this choice. I get it, I 'm so pale I could be mistaken for a ghost and that often equates to a low spice tolerance, I 'm not new to this reaction. Once I assured the lady taking my order that I was positive in this choice she asked me if I 'd ever had it before and I let her know I had not but this conversation wasn 't going to sway me, her final attempt was to say interesting . I was intrigued and excited now.The food came pretty quickly and I was offered sauce on the side which I 'm glad I opted for. At first glance it was clearly well coated in the birdz powder. On to the components! The fries were delicious and very well seasoned. They stayed warm and unsoggy to the bottom. I 'm not really a cole slaw person but this was a pleasant experience, slightly sweet and creamy. Not overly dressed and gives a nice reprieve from the spice.The pickles were good but not great. Your basic jar pickle chips. Yes, I 'm a pickle snob and I won 't apologize for it.The house sauce (on the side) was a very thick aoli type of sauce. I tried it but wasn 't really a fan. The flavor was light but the consistency just didn 't get me excited. The lady who served me seemed to imply it has the effect of cooling the spice when she said you might need it ... but I didn 't.Saved the curiosity that was the chicken for last. The chicken itself was tender and juicy but I felt like it was way over breaded. The real confusion was how little chicken there was. I was really disappointed with the amount of chicken that comes with this. This alone is what killed the meal for me. Besides this being a food truck that specializes in chicken but for $15 I 'd like more than a few bites. Because of this I almost gave it 3 stars but it was a lot of food (that I couldn 't finish) so I left it at 4.As for the spicy birdz spice level... it 's comparable to a Thai #4, slap ya mama spicy, or a shin bowl black. It has a short lived burn that hit me mainly in the upper throat and tip of my tongue. Slight tingle and localized warmth with very little buildup. Definitely more burn than flavor so it 's more for the experience than anything. Wouldn 't recommend it for someone who doesn 't enjoy spicy foods but if you like a little adventure it 's fine."
