I had the pleasure of enjoying food from El Chamo Criollo this evening…read more I ordered one La Sifrina arepa and beef empanadas! Super flavorful, and fresh with heaping portions! I thought the service was pretty good. He was pretty busy but handled everyone with ease and kindness. I appreciated how clean the food truck was. I feel as though they take food safety very serious. The payment device was even clean! Haha! I do not play about food safety and cleanliness.

I tried the tiramisu latte and the sampler platter, which was a great way to try a little of everything all delicious and full of flavor. Perfect spot for a quick breakfast, coffee run, or casual bite. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and definitely worth the drive to Orange Park if you love discovering local gems.

It was suggested to look on line to the website for pictures-maybe they'll add pics to menu? Another suggestion-add some type of salad with the meat and toppings you are using. I asked for a salad with grilled chix, black beans, avocado, cheese, salsa (which was in a bowl option with a fry bread?) added and little lettuce and it was $15, my opinion that was too expensive; I suspect bec they weren't use to salads being asked for. Most things had a fried something, which I did not want. The food was very tasty. The group loved all the desserts offered, big and sweet!

It's a little expensive but you get a lot of food. $20 for two sandwiches. There are also huge meat platters for a group of people. The side of the gas station is a nice little fenced in oasis with picnic tables. Good tunes playing. BTW, Rucio Moro is the name of a horse in a famous song by Venezuelan folk singer Reynaldo Armas. This is the second Venezuelan food truck I have visited in Jax. I think the Rucio Moro folks moved up from Orlando. Good news for cowboy food lovers.

They have a couple tables with chairs to sit and eat at with decent lighting so if the weather is good you can totally order and eat right there.

I can honestly say I've had really bad luck in this place. Not only does the service take forever,…read morebut also it is just crappy food. I just think they don't try hard enough, the people working there perhaps are not properly trained, paid or it just comes all the way from the top. I went there to give them a second chance since I had previously tried them about a year ago and I thought the food was not good back then, but maybe since they have been open long enough, maybe it was that one thing I had. Well I was wrong, I ordered just some appetizers, not even a full meal or anything and they took almost an hour to bring it out!! I didn't want to complaint so I just took my food to go and left, but when I got home the mandocas I ordered were terrible, tasted like they just reheated them and didn't even have cheese or nata which is what they should come with, or how they are served in any Venezuelan place you go to. On top of that, I had asked for cilantro sauce for the tequeños, they said it was in the bag, and when I got home they just put garlic sauce in there!! I didn't even eat, what a waste of money and energy to go there. Terrible experience, I don't recommend the headache to anyone, it's just not worthy. Unfortunately.

Staff was great and friendly, we came early on a Saturday morning. The shredded beef arepa was…read moredelicious it had ham, cheese, cabbage, mayo and ketchup but bit pricey for $15 for only one. I wish they had a kids menu or more sides like French fries. They do also have an ice cream business so its pretty nice if you want to eat an arepa and then stay for dessert.

Graduation celebration party of 11. Tinker has officially stolen my heart (and my appetite)! Every…read moresingle thing that hit our table was a flavor explosion, but I have to give a standing ovation to the pollo a la plancha juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to absolute perfection. It's the kind of dish you take one bite of and immediately plot your next visit. And the side dishes...oh my goodness. Usually you have a "favorite" side and a "meh" side, but here, every single one was a star in its own right. Creamy, vibrant, tangy, savory, each had its own personality and every bite made me do a little happy dance. Honestly, it's rare to find a place where the sides are just as memorable as the main course, but Tinker nails it. The atmosphere was warm, the service was wonderful, and by the end of the meal everyone basically grinning like a kid at their birthday party. The Tres Leche cake was insanely good! If you haven't been yet, go. And if you have you already know you're overdue for another plate! It was really that good!

I've driven by many times and through the smoked glass it looked like chairs or something else was stored behind it and I though it had closed.The service was very good, prompt but not over attentive! The selection of Beers was outstanding! I had a starter of what was billed as Chupe De Pollo, (chicken chowder), it had very thick broth and was chocked full of chicken. Chicken breast was used and although there was a lot it was very dry and the broth was more like a heavy veloute. It also did not have much flavor. I won't be ordering that a again. My wife and I had Empanadas, mine was shredded beef and hers shredded chicken. I could have used a bit more sauce for dipping. The shell was quite crisp but not greasy. But all and all it was good. Our friend had the vegetarian arepas and let me taste some, it was quite good. She finished the whole dish! We also shared the loaded fries which came out hot with an interesting sauce drizzled over it. We didn't have the bacon on it as our friend is vegetarian. That would have made it even better for me. All in all it was a fun experience and we'll be going back.
