    a plate of mexican food
    Bob V.

    The food truck scene in Asheville continues to grow and amaze. I devoured some truly awesome tacos the other day at El Querubin II. The protein here (see pic) is huitlacoche, (pronounced wheat-la-KOH-cheh), also known as corn smut or Mexican Truffle. To be blunt, this is a fungus that grows on corn. And while I'll admit the description is a tad less than appetizing, this stuff has been treasured for centuries, all the way back to the Aztecs. I'm telling you peeps, it works. Grilled to perfection, then bolstered by pico, fresh lime, cilantro and a mildly pungent queso fresco, the huitlacoche provides an earthy depth of flavor and a satisfying mouthfeel. I'm not sure what's in that salsa, exactly, but it's stinkin' good. And my oh my, those warm, handmade corn tortillas are everything. You just couldn't get any more fresh. The corn and the corn smut are brought back together in a triumphant family reunion, singing a glorious harmonic refrain before being silenced by my very happy belly. El Querubin translates "The Cherub." Hey, no argument here.

    Food Truck Time: El Querbin at Wedge Brewing Co. I really enjoyed the fish tacos from this food truck, they were the special of the day. I can't speak to the other menu items but a few others in our party liked what they ordered.

    Hot dog special.  They hid them under the veggies so I wouldn't see them when I got the plate. He said they add the hotdogs "just because".

    I ordered a dish called hatahambre or something similar. It was described as having pollo pastor, chorizo, bacon, pork sausage... wow was I in for a surprise. At first the dish looked great, but as I dug in I found hotdogs... wtf?! ...and shopped up deli meat; god knows what... gross. I was concerned that maybe I misread it and this was their famous hotdog and bologna (authentic cultural cuisine) dish. I went iut and read it over and just felt duped, tricked, taken for. These people are scumbags, avoid them and save your money.

    Enchiladas were a little dry and flaky. Not much chicken on them. Maybe just a bad batch of tortillas and a stingy cook on the chicken?

    Excellent first trip to this place. I went to the bar, which had one chair left out of about ten…read moreor so. I shoehorned myself in there and asked the guys on either side of me what they thought. One was a regular, the other also a newbie like me. The newbie said his loaded nachos were very good, but too big. I didn't want a lot. The regular told me I couldn't go wrong with the street tacos. The bartender confirmed. She was awesome, but didn't catch her name. Very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. I was going to order two steak tacos, but the bartender thought I should try the carnitas for one of them. They were both good, but the carnitas was excellent. Should have done both as carnitas! They came with a nice serving of rice and beans that were actually good! It's a big place right on Merrimon and like many restaurants on that street, parking is at a premium. There are like five spots on the side street right next to the building, but if you don't get one of those, you be walking either on the side street behind the building or across Merrimon. I was on the side street about two blocks behind the building at about 5:45pm. It's free parking, but plan accordingly. You may be walking a bit.

We both ordered the chicken Tinga tacos with rice and beans and I thought they were phenomenal, they weren't my husband's favorite, but I would definitely order again. The service was great and the ambience seems like it would be fun on a Friday or Saturday night.

My only negative was that it took too long to get my margarita from the bar! Had it come sooner, i would have gladly ordered another one. Interestingly enough - there is no complimentary chips and salsa - it's complimentary corn elotes. Different concept that I was not aware of going in. At first I was a little disappointed, but then I saw how much food I got for my meal, and I'm glad that I didn't get the chips and salsa b/c I wouldn't have been able to eat my meal! For entrees, I got the Grilled Garlic Steak Toastadas + grilled veggies + salad. My husband got the Puffy Wrap w/ Chicken + yuca + salad. It was so much food! Each of our dishes were delicious and we tried to eat as much as we could. Our server was very attentive and we appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The cheese dip was so delicious that I poured it over my burrito. Once seated, we were given complimentary street corn, which was a nice touch. The portion sizes are generous, so come hungry.
