VFingers Spring

This is a new truck operated by the VFingers company, located in the Plaza de los Food Trucks behind the Gosling Express.  We stopped in the other day to check it out--ordered a 2-piece fried chicken combo, a couple of pastelitos (pizza, and potato and cheese), and a couple of frozen drinks--lemonade and frappelon (half iced tea, half lemonade).

The combo comes with both french fries and arepitas--little rounds of arepa bread deep fried.  The highlight of the meal was those arepitas.  They were crisp on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, with a nice salty flavor and great mouth feel.  The fries were ok, but I would take the arepitas over even good fries every time. It's worth checking out the truck just for these, and they sell them by the bag if you want.  Yum!

When I picked up the order I had three pieces of chicken, and was told it was because they were small.  That's not a good sign with deep-fried food, and that certainly held true here.  I got a wing, a thigh and a drumstick. The breading was very tasty and crunchy, but the wing and thigh were dry and tough, basically inedible.  The drumstick was larger and meatier, still overdone but it held up and made it a meal.  I'd be cautious about either the fried chicken pieces or the tenders.

The pizza pastelito was fine, done nice and crisp so the shell had a very good texture.  The filling was a good pizza representation.  The potato and cheese one was OK, nothing wrong with it but I'd probably try something else next time.  The frozen drinks were good representations, icy cold on a hot day and I love the half and half mix.

There's a whole lot on the menu we didn't try, including their signature item, the "fingers" (tequenos).  They have lots of sweets, including shakes, nutella bites and churros, but we just weren't feeling dessert.  The service was fine, and did not take too long.  So while I can't give it a great review now I would absolutely come back to give it another try.

The menu on the website is not up to date, but there's a good picture on Google Maps.
