This Dominican Food Truck began operating in late May, and is permanently setup at 1919 Silas Creek Pkwy. The truck is owned by a married couple, Jorge Done and Stephany Peña. Jorge is from the Dominican Republic and Pena was partially raised there.
The menu is rather broad for a food truck and most of the food is traditional Dominican fare, though hamburgers and hot dogs are available.
The menu includes a number of sandwiches including several varieties of Chimi, a very popular street food. It consists of meat (choices here are shredded chicken, beef, or Dominican salami) on a sub like bun, and it topped with well seasoned grilled cabbage.
They also serve frituras (fried) plates including chuleta (pork chop), salami, longaniza (sausage),Queso, and beef. The plate included plantains and yucca.
I ordered the Salami Chimi and a frita plate of longaniza. The Chimi was well sized and was quite tasty, the cabbage was very flavorful.
The longaniza was not large and was cut in to discs. I found these to be rather chewy, but was flavorful. The plantains had no flavor at all. I have eaten longaniza a number of times at La Palma. The sausage there is bigger in diameter and was very tender.
To drink I had a Dominican drink that is a mixture of orange & lemon juices , and milk. It was surprisingly tasty, but expensive at $4!
All in all not a bad experience, and I would definitely recommend a Chimi. read more
