    We had an excellent experience! It's a food truck with many delicious delicacies. I called in order…read moreand the lady was friendly and patient and polite. We then arrived and everything we ordered was ready as well as scrumptious! We had alcapurrias (my fav). It's a fritter that's stuffed with seasoned meat - best I've had since out here in Alabama. We had potato balls that are stuffed with seasoned meat and deep fried that were delish. We had chicken and beef empanadas that were spot on! The cheese inside was an extra perk. To end perfect meal, we had custard flan, which was so creamy and flavorful. It's a must from now on when we order food. The ambiance was great - since it's a food truck good amount of parking, had utensils as well as a table and chairs (it was clean and area was clean as well). Stop by you won't regret it. It's a drive away from us - but worth the ride.

    I stopped by after work for a later lunch, excited to try the Puerto Rican offerings from this…read moresmall food trailer. It doesn't seem like they move around too much and are instead generally set up in a parking lot off Madison Boulevard with a few other businesses. They keep their FB page regularly updated and often run specials with Puerto Rican dishes that are often hard to find commercially in town. The trailer is small and a little nondescript so I missed it at first. There are one or two small folding tables set up in front of it but it's mostly a carryout spot. Customers were ordering in both English and Spanish but the employees/owner (?) had no trouble navigating either language. I didn't want a huge lunch and they specialize in more snack-ish type items anyway, so I ordered one beef and one chicken empanada, an alcapurria, and a stuffed potato bite. It was super hot so I also asked which of the Puerto Rican drinks was their favorite; the employee directed me toward a cola champagne so I got one of those as well. The food was cooked fresh and service was very pleasant and friendly throughout. They even offered for me to wait in my car and they'd bring my food to me, but I was content to stand by the truck. I took my goodies back home to split with my husband and we were quite happy. The only item I didn't like was the champagne cola but I truly had no idea what to expect on that front and if I'd known more about what it was I probably would've gotten something different. It was cloyingly sweet and a little flat and definitely not like the colas we have in the contiguous United States, lol. It reminded me of a cream soda, which I historically don't like. Anyway, that aside, I mostly liked everything else. My least favorite item was the stuffed potato; it was okay but I probably wouldn't order it again. It was a little on the greasy/blander side. The alcapurria was also a little greasy but had great flavors and I was glad to try a new-to-me food. The kind of crispy and crumbly texture was enjoyable and the meaty filling was rich and savory. The empanadas were the best! We couldn't decide which one we liked more (leaned slightly toward beef). Both were absolutely loaded with fillings. The chicken one had so much flavor and was so juicy and succulent. The pastry/shell part was delightfully flaky and crispy. The beef was filled with unctuous meat and subtle spice. Awesome empanadas! Definitely worth a try to nab some Puerto Rican food in the Huntsville/Madison area.
