What's new at La Plaza de los Food Trucks? We went there on a warm evening and I tried out this new and long-anticipated truck. I had their special for the evening (avocado chicken Milanesa), which came with fries and a mocktail. I chose a raspberry mojito. Finished with their one dessert, a creme brulee.
The chicken Milanesa is a chicken breast pounded thin and breaded. It was served with a generous amount of guacamole, which made for a nice spread on top. The chicken was tender and not dry at all, which is a real achievement for fried white meat. The fries were also nicely done and finished with a tasty seasoned salt. The dish came with ketchup for the fries and a spicy green salsa in case you wanted a change from the guacamole. Overall very good.The creme brulee was $10, higher than the menu price, but a generous serving that would be easy to share. The caramelized sugar on top was uneven in a very good and interesting way, ranging from thin and light to thicker and darker, which actually made it a more complete dessert than if it had been perfectly even. The custard inside was a good representation. I didn't share much of it.
The mocktail was a high point in the meal. Light carbonation substituted for alcohol to give it a little bite. The raspberry and mint flavors blended really well. Absolutely delicious.
Atos has a wide variety of cuisines and price points represented on the menu. They have street tacos for $3 if you want something less expensive, and burgers at the midrange. The entrees are fairly described as American-style elevated dining. The chicken Milanesa may not be on the menu when you're there but based on its execution I would be confident that other dishes would be very good. I can easily recommend it.
