    Junior Churry - Mixto
    Karla M.

    The first good thing about this place is that it is open late, while most places close early. I ordered the mixto junior churry and churry fries. I'm not exactly sure what each item contained but it was really good. The sandwich was my favorite. The bread was super soft and the sandwich was packed with many different flavors and even textures from the meat and crispy potato sticks. The fries were also good but it may have had too much toppings--which I never thought I would say. I think the fry to toppings ratio was a bit off, so you didn't get to taste the fries as much. It was a bit oily as well. But overall really good late night food.

    Shortly after arriving in San Juan, we headed to get a late night snack at El Cherry. Made popular by Man vs. Food and Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, the mixto sandwich is the thing to get. Open until 4am, the truck was bustling when we arrived just before 2am. The line moved relatively fast with the majority of people ordering their famous sandwich, some with accompanying fries. The price of the sandwich - $4.26 for the junior and $6.28 for the regular - includes a drink with your choice of water, juice, or soda. My friend loves this place so given all that I had heard, I was expecting this to be the best sandwich I'd ever had. It wasn't. That honor still goes to Paseo's Cuban roasted pork sandwich in Seattle or the muffuletta at New Orlean's Cochon Butcher. While the mixto sandwich wasn't the most amazing thing I've tasted, it was unique. Sweet Puerto Rican bread was filled with chicken and steak - both of which had no flavor - lettuce, tomatoes, potato sticks, and the mayo-ketchup mixture. The bread was great, soft and sweet, yet sturdy enough to handle the toppings and I loved the addition of the potato sticks. I'm not a mayonnaise fan so they were kind to add just a little of the mayo-ketchup mix to my sandwich. I washed it down with an orange lime juice. 3 stars for me this go round. I may try the other truck or the brick and mortar shop on my next visit.

    Food: Churry Mixto - chicken and churrasco sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and thousand island-ish sauce topped with potato sticks. The sandwich bread is sooo good; it's warm, sweet, and fresh! 5/5 Service: I almost always have to wait in line here but it's worth it! Final thoughts: Best late-night, drunk food! This is my go-to spot after a long night out. It really hits the spot.

    Thank the island gods that we stumbled here. I had saw this place recommended but wasn't sure where the truck would be so I gave up. This truck, I believe, is perm stationed in Carolina. I didn't see the address but it's down the road from Casa Dante. I ordered the Junior Mixto and split it with a friend because we literally just had dinner before but couldn't pass up the opportunity. The junior size is about 4 inches? It's not big but I would say it's good option for someone who is hungry but not hangry. Our Mixto with everything and a soda came to a total of $5! How can you say no? First bite after the unwrapping...what in the world!? The bread is SOOOO soft. Like you would think it would be crunchy or what not, so it is soft like pillows! The goods on the inside....wow! JUST wow. The chicken and the beef, delicious!!! Simple and juicy! And man, I freaking loved the potato sticks! It added the crunch and the taste I went back on Monday and sadly they were closed and normally I don't wanna eat at the same place twice on vacation but this was going to be a dinner back home on the plane :(! So sad!! A must try when you are here!!

    So I finally made it to El Churry. Three of us watched the Redskins win the NFC east title at Lupis and decided to celebrate with the one and only mixto. We ordered one each and devoured them with a quickness. From the juicy meats and crispy potato sticks to the sauce made from the tears of angels it was everything I hoped it would be. Please note we have been looking to hit this spot for years. Well worth the wait!!

    Chicken wrap- junior size, because it is the size of a normal size burrito back in Washington.

    Delicious truck food. Choice of Sandwich or wrap with various meats (steak, chicken, veggie) in a junior or normal size. I ordered the junior size wrap because I saw someone in front of me order the normal size and it was about three of my fists big or about the size of a Mondito burrito at Taco Del Mar. Inside, to my surprise was ketchup. I opted out of getting mayo- which would have toned down the ketchup flavor. The ketchup flavor wasn't bad, probably sure to their also being potato chip sticks in the wrap too. It was like eating a cheese burger meal plus fries all in one wrap. I appreciated the fresh lettuce and diced tomatoes inside the wrap too because it made if feel more healthy.

    Busy food truck!

    Since El Curry food truck made it to TV on Man Vs. Food, it's grown to six locations including a brick and mortar restaurant. I tried the food truck at Isla Verdes. The brightly green colored truck sits in a private lot with outdoor seating, a parking lot and a couple of clean, new restrooms. It also has a drive-thru on the back side of the truck. (pretty creative) The offerings are pretty simple. A beef or chicken or combo wrap or sandwich. You can add cheese and bacon too. And that's about it. Both have the same ingredients so you go with the combo. Go ahead and splurge with the bacon and cheese. This unique sandwich is very tasty. The meats are seasoned deliciously and the unique texture of the sandwich comes from crispy French fries inside. The original sauce tops it off. My only complaint would be the cheese is plain American slices. The price is inexpensive and it gets busier as the night goes on. Sitting on the cruising strip, this is a cool place for late night eats while people watching. Parking is easy in their lot

    Trpleta. Chicken, skirt steak, potato sticks, and ketchup. Yum!

    Not my thing. I'm not a fan of Mayo and this had Mayo Ketchup mix that many enjoy. Food was plentiful. Again just not my thing.

Chicken and cheese empanada, beef and cheese empanada, passion fruit virgin drink and then another fresh fruit drink. Right across the street from the beautiful crystal clear waters on the beach!!

It's just that you're basically getting food truck vibes and what is essentially street food for a nice, full service price point. The food is hearty- you don't need to order much to get full. Stick to what this place is good at, arepas. They load it to the max and their assortment of sauces are pretty impressive. One thing I gotta say though, $10 for an orange juice is egregious at any level. I could be at the four seasons in Bali and that would still make me raise my eyebrows. Even then I ordered it like a doof and it was like 3/4 ice!! C'mon yall, just take it off the menu if it's like that. Overall, the 24-hour aspect is nice and the food is decent. I can see myself paying a premium after a long night out, but just watch what you get because that bill can run up quick.

I got a mofongo relleno with chicken. It took about half an hour to receive my order and there were no other customers (1 star off). I thought the taste of mofongo was mediocre. Maybe I am just not that into savory plantains that make up the mofongo, but I like sweet plantains much more. I can see how this space can be a great hang-out with a large group of friends, but with the limited number of kiosks open and the long time to get my food, I was disappointed.
