I tried to walk past this solitary food truck/stand that appeared one day in an empty lot on 42nd and University Way NE, but the siren call of the proprietor caught my attention. He was singing joyfully about the fact that it wasn't raining. How could one resist such a sales pitch.
I soon learned that bard of empanadas is in fact Colombian, and marvelous conversationalist with a knack for making delicious empanadas. I ordered three - beef, ham and cheese, and mushroom and cheese - all delicious. The pastry dough was perfectly cooked and the fillings flavorful and perfectly portioned. Later visits revealed that their chimichurri sauce was a flavor bomb accompanyment; note that it is very garlic forward in the event you have to deliver a lecture.
I loved this place and the proprietor's story. Nice addition to the Ave all round! read more
