When I first heard of Pots N Tots, I thought it sold potstickers and tater tots. Turns out, it’s actually crock pot sandwiches and tater tots. I would return for the latter but not the former.
For example, the pot roast sandwich ($5.50) had tender and juice beef but little flavor. Meanwhile, the chicken sandwich ($5.50) was incredibly dry, and the honey mustard on top didn’t help.
As for the tots ($3.25), which are perfectly crispy, there are nine flavors plus a daily special. The Thai chili was not at all spicy and had a nice little sweetness to it. The Parmesan garlic had a heavy coating of Parmesan but the garlic was hard to detect.
Next time, I’ll get either the Volcanic Explosion or the BBQ Blast.

This is a Filipino food cart with a short menu. It starts with eggrolls (three for $3, six for $5.50), and you get your choice of pork or veggies. I chose the pork, and I appreciated that they are densely packed with meat. The eggrolls, which are crispy and not at all greasy, are slightly bland, and thus the sweet chili dipping sauce is a nice complement.
The Baboy-b-que ($5) is a very simple dish. Chunks of pork (not slices as described in the menu) sit on a bed of rice and are topped with a BBQ-like sauce. I thought the pork could have been more tender, but all-in-all it’s a pretty safe meal, especially for picky eaters.
The only other item is the Caldereta ($7), a coconut-tomato-based stew to which you can add chicken or tofu.
