There's a new, very attractive food truck on Gosling Road. I stopped in
to this place for lunch the other day, and had a very good experience.
For a food truck it has nice furnishings--two solid wooden tables and
distinctive yellow stools, with red umbrellas. I ordered a carnitas
torta with garlic fries and a jicama agua fresca (they also had
watermelon lemonade). Started with the drink, which was very well made
(I'm a fan of jicama, it reminds me of drinking grape juice) and got two
refills. The sandwich was pretty good--a nice crusty roll and some
white cheese (not sure what kind) fried on the grill to give it a crust.
The carnitas were OK, maybe slightly lacking in flavor but very
tender. Tomatoes seemed like the supermarket kind--I would probably do
without them next time. Fries were fantastic. Breaded steak fries done
nicely crisp on the outside, with great garlic flavor. The dish was
served with a habanero sauce. It was tasty and very hot as one would
expect.
They work hard at presentation. You get table service
if you stay. The lunch was served on a wooden block, quite fancy. The sauce was a
little confusing--it came in a cute little bottle, but I was not
quite sure whether it was all intended for me (seemed like too much).
They gave me a spoon with it but the spoon was too big to fit in the
mouth of the container. It did pour nicely on the sandwich though, and
was a good complement. I would absolutely go again.
