Plantains
Travis H.

I got two beef empanadas and an order of plantains. 10/10 on the empanadas. Packed solid with meat and flavor deep fried to perfection. Salted after which enhances the taste even more. The salsa side is good 7.2/10 comparable to burrito shops salsa. The mayo based sauce is 10/10. The plantains were good. Salted after as well. I wish they were more ripe and brought out the sweetness more. 7.1/10. They also make fresh smoothies. Give it a try they are local and delicious! The owner is very nice and his service was great. Nice shaded area to eat is available.

Great empanadas and friendly service. I had the ham & cheese and the cheese/green chile empanadas. They were perfectly fried. Definitely check this truck out.

I had the opportunity to try their empanadas at my daughter's Girl Scout trunk or treat event and it did not disappoint. Service was quick and the lady taking my order was very nice. I didn't order any juices or smoothies but definitely will next time because they sound delish! I went with a ground beef empanada and a green chili and cheese empanada both of which were amazing. They are flaky and crispy on the outside but so juicy and full on the inside. I especially loved the green chili and cheese! The prices are super fair, too and overall I really enjoyed it. Keep an eye out for this truck and give it a try!

Joined my besties to try this Dominican food truck on a lunch whim and enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and excellent customer service complete with tasty empanadas and tostones and unique drinks you can't find anywhere else in Tucson. Also a bonus that the handsome owner joined our fun conversation all without missing a beat quick service and perfect Spanish. Thank you for the good vibes!

You could tell right from the start the guys in the truck were passionate about what they did. They showed a high level of excitement explaining their different empanadas and how to reheat them when you got home. On our first attempt, we ordered the ground beef , apple, chicken, pizza, and fatay. They neatly arranged it in a medium size pizza box that had the qualities and included the reheating instructions. Each empanada had initials stamped so you could identify the types without having to bite in to it. Every detail was well thought out with the customer in mind and I thought that was a great touch. Fast forward to reheating and biting in to the empanadas, I found them to be very flavorful. You could tell the flavors were layered nicely. These were so good I went back the next day and walked away with their large pizza box. I pretty much tried everything that wasn't special order. My preference, but I like that it's baked and not fried. The internal ingredients are more pronounced and not masked with fryer fat. The size was perfect in that you can try more than one and not be stuffed. It's quality over quantity and in a place like this it matters. Good stuff. I'll be back. Just under $4 each any flavor.

I got the birria, revuelta, and chicken pupusas. In addition, I ordered the tamal combo with tostones (fried green plantains). Each pupusa bite was very flavorful. My favorite of the three was the birria--it had lots of meat in every bite and was so delicious! I couldn't finish everything because I also had the tamal plate. By the way, the tamal was another favorite of mine! You have to try it. It's similar to a Mexican tamale, but I felt it was more moist and flavorful. The tostones were great with their dipping sauce, which tasted similar to Thousand Island dressing. They also have a salsa bar for extra toppings. Our server was super friendly. When we weren't sure which drinks to order, he offered us a sample of the Salvadoran Chicha fresca. It tasted a bit like kombucha with a spicy kick, so that's what I went with! My friends chose the horchata, jamaica, and ensalada drinks, and all of them were nice and refreshing.With such a big menu, I am certainly going to be back--perhaps for breakfast, since they serve it all day!
