    The Box Food Truck - Yeah, I ate 2 more fish tacos!

    The Box Food Truck

    I was trying to figure where to hold my 5th Annual 50th Bday party and it occurred to me that we…read moreare developing a bit of a "food truck scene" in Vermont and I had heard about a Taco Truck out of Hanover, NH. I googled and found "The Box." www.theboxfoodtruck.com I read their story and their menu. It sounded pretty great. So I contacted Caleb Lara (chef/owner of The Box) and arranged for him to park out front of The Hartland Diner (I own The Diner) for my birthday and "cater" for my 20-30 guests. Best. Idea. Ever. Caleb grew up in the San Diego/Baja, California area and trained at the Culinary Institute of America. After he was laid off during Covid he was able to buy The Box food truck and launched a menu based upon the Mexican taco/burrito/nacho style of the area he grew up in. O.M.G. Caleb's food is OFF THE CHARTS. Delicious beyond anything you're imagining, or anything any of us in The Upper Valley has ever had, if we're talking about tacos, nachos, burritos, Mexican "street food." The Box is serving local pork and beef (they will tell you which local farms they source from) and using The Best Quality fish that comes directly from The Boston Fish Market to The Upper Valley from Wood Mountain Fish. I personally do not eat beef, pork or poultry. But I DO eat fish. The Box's fish tacos are The Best fish tacos I've ever had. And I've eaten a lot of different kinds of fish tacos in a lot of different places. The fish is SO BEAUTIFULLY FRESH and fried to order right there inside the truck. Your actual taco shell/tortilla can make or break a taco experience. For me, it HAS to be a fresh made corn tortilla. That really is the only legitimate taco. The Box is using only fresh made, Guerrero corn tortillas that are so delicious I'd eat them alone. The vast majority of Pico de Gallo in this world is very disappointing. It tends to lack flavor and your tomatoes need to be excellent. Pico has ZERO shelf life. It is fresh ingredients and you need to make it and serve it FRESH. The Box's Pico de Gallo is the best I've ever eaten (I've eaten Pico all over the Southwest - so I'm not just talking here). Flavorful, delicious, FRESH. Tacos also have actual, Cotijo cheese. Once you've eaten these foods with legit Cotijo cheese there is no going back. Actual, authentic ingredients are what Caleb uses in The Box and you can tell. The Box serves everything with their own, fresh, from scratch salsa made with tomatoes, tomatillos, habanero peppers, amongst other things. It is INSANELY good and elevates the food even further. (I LOVE LOVE LOVE tomatillos.) I did not eat ALL DAY on my birthday so I would have room for as much Mexican food as possible. I ate 4 fish tacos. AND nachos. Since I don't eat chicken (The Box's nachos are usually made with Caleb's pulled chicken) Caleb made me vegetarian nachos. My friends. I. Love. Nachos. I could potentially eat nachos every day of my life. Sadly, most nachos are really terrible, with that horrendous so-called "nacho cheese." NOT THESE NACHOS!!! The Box nachos are made with their own, house made Guerrero tortilla chips (CRAZY FREAKING DELICIOUS), slow simmered Pinto beans (one of my favorite beans), fresh Cotijo cheese, Chipotle Crema (again, just so much more delicious than anything you've ever eaten), the house made salsa and the most perfectly ripe avocado sliced over top. It cost me about $1000 to feed my entire party the most delicious Mexican food they'd ever had and AS MUCH of it as they wanted AND I did not have to clean a single plate or pot. Just a fantastic, wonderful, DELICIOUS experience. Caleb and Donna, who ran the truck and cooked for us and served us were WONDERFUL. And Donna SANG ME Happy Birthday. I will be hiring The Box for EVERY gathering in the future. I'm not even kidding. GET THESE TACOS. Any way you can.

    My son took me here last week for the tacos that he is a regular fan of. I have to say they were…read morereally great. The steak was tasty and well seasoned, and cooked yummyness. The tacos themselves were nicely warmed and the guac and trimmings were fresh. All in all two really tasty tacos. They were doing a promotion that day so we only got to try the carnitas, but I'd definitely go back to try their other menu items next time. Really friendly staff too. It made it a pleasure to lunch from the truck.

    We came on a chilly Thursday night. There was a line…read moreoutside. Each menu item is on an individual piece of paper on a magnetic board on the food truck itself. When something runs out. Somebody then comes out and turns over the menu item like Vanna White! And the customers moan. That was fun to watch!!! We waited about 45 minutes but it was worth the wait! We ordered Beef Stew. Caesar salad Hand cut fries Cheddar Brocoli Soup. The Soup could use more Cheddar in it. We will Definitely be back again next time!

    This place was great! A friend of mine and I took our kids to the Ice Castles nearby last month and…read morestopped in here for dinner afterwards. I had read reviews online and they were all great, and I have to say - they were spot on! The place was interesting - you walk in and you aren't sure you're in the right place lol. You first walk into a storage/garage area of sorts. But once you see the sign and make your way up the stairs you find the restaurant. This place was great for families. They have picnic tables and some are bigger than others - which was perfect since it allowed our group of 7 to fit comfortably at one table together. They had games you could use while you waited for your food. And lots of kid friendly food options. The food was very good as well. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the ramen and it was delicious. It may even be the best ramen I've ever had! If you are in the area and looking for a quick place to stop in and eat - I'd definitely recommend it!
