Primo's Venezuelan Street Food

I stopped in the other day to try this new food truck.  I had an Og Pepito with pork, which is a large sandwich with the protein, cole slaw, potato stix, mayo, ketchup, grilled cheese and special sauce, and mine came with an egg on top.  Absolutely delicious!  The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauces mix and complement each other.  Putting potato stix on a sandwich seems to be a Venezuelan thing (a previous place here, El Kourmet, did the same) and it's brilliant--adds a nice salty crunch.  It's served open faced, but the bun is substantial enough to pick it up if you want.  Loved it.

I also had the Pastelas Andinos, a fried pastry with ground beef and rice.  Nice idea and it was crisp, but it could have used more flavor.  I would have had dessert but they were out of all their dessert items, which made me mark it down a little.  I washed it down with a Frescolita, a South American canned soda that reminds me very much of San Antonio's signature soda, Big Red.  If you haven't had it, think liquid bubble gum.  Not quite my thing, I would try something else next time.

All kinds of delicious options on the menu.  I'll be happy to give them another try.
