Pupuseria &Taqueria El Fogon

This is a tasty and interesting new food truck, currently parked at the Star Stop Exxon at Kuykendahl and Gosling.  We tried three tacos--chicken, al pastor and beef fajita--and their fried rice with chicken.  Washed it down with a jamaica agua fresca.

They have a broad and diverse menu.  Pupusas (of course), Central American dishes, hamburgers, and the above mentioned fried rice.  Never seen that at a Tex-Mex food truck and I had to try it.  It's a pretty standard Asian fried rice, but actually a very good representation.  It was well seasoned and the chicken was done just right.  A nice mix of vegetables and egg as well.  Plenty for two meals.

The tacos were a good representation also.  The chicken was very good.  The pork and beef tacos had good flavor.  They were just a bit chewy but not anything to complain about.  The tortillas tasted homemade.  The meal came with three sauces--two salsas, red and green, and a chili sauce.  The salsas were moderately hot with good flavor.  The chili sauce had only a little flavor, seemed mostly to be an oil for heat.  It was nice for mouth feel.

The jamaica was delicious, nice and strong and a generous serving.  

One other unique feature--the truck has a breakfast menu, despite only being open for dinner or late snacks.  This would be a good place for breakfast-for-dinner fans. Overall it’s worth a try.
