This little food truck offers an amazing experience you can't get anywhere else in Asheville: Peruvian style Pollo a la Brasa, rotisserie chicken marinated with Peruvian chiles and spices. If you think you can get something similar at a Mexican restaurant or by buying a grocery store rotisserie chicken with chipotle seasoning, you are so wrong. This is truly a thing unto itself, and it is delicious. I've had it pulled off the bone and served with rice and vegetables at other Peruvian restaurants outside of Asheville, but to have it mostly on its own, with sauces, a side of fries, salad, tortillas or rice, really enables you to appreciate the chicken for its amazing self. It's marinated overnight and during the rotisserie process, too, so it's not just the crispy, slightly charred skin that tastes of the spices and chiles, it's also the juicy, tender meat inside. It has a nice smoky flavor as well. Not hot spicy (unless you dip it in the red sauce from here, which is fire!). They also provided a creamy avocado sauce, which is great mixed with the red sauce to lower the heat just a little and give it some contrast. The fries are also great dipped into these sauces. The whole chicken with 3 sides was enough to feed three of us (all pretty big eaters) with some leftovers. The service was warm and friendly. There are 3 outdoor picnic tables by the side of the truck, but this is a place to get wonderful food to go that you can't get anywhere else in Asheville. So it enjoy at home or on a picnic someplace in the woods or a park. They also have dishes that are more traditionally Mexican (tacos, stuffed tortillas) and weirdly, also bratwurst. I'm not sure how this got in the mix, but they are from South America and a lot of Germans did immigrate there. We'll definitely be back. The problem will be convincing ourselves to try anything else when the Peruvian chicken is just so dang good. read more

I had a half coal fired chicken which had good flavor but was a little dry. I got fries were crinkle style and beans for my sides and both were good. Had a hard time eating the chicken without a knife and they only had plastic spoons so they lent me a large carving knife. read more

Tried it two time not going for strike three. Service slow , food not up to par! sucked read more

I have gone to the place for a number of years now for good reason. When they were parked at HD I made it point just to go there vs. the other box store. They are now just around the corner. The breakfast options are great and super easy. I usually go with ham egg and cheese or bacon egg and cheese on tortillas. The Bolillo is very good as well. You can get Hickory Nut Gap meats and the hot dogs, brats, and burgers are fantastic. The tacos are an amazing deal for authentic cilantro and onion tacos. We really like the chorizo or beef. Papusas.....you need to get them as well as the cabbage salad that accompanies them. I will get at least one from now on. Many imported beverages are available including my favorite, grapefruit Jarritos. Overall, the food is great. Much better than any fast food place and compares to many of the top food trucks in town. The folks working there are extremely friendly and appreciative. Place your order, hang out for a few minutes while it's prepared, and enjoy. read more

This taco truck is the way it should be. Authentic food that is delicious at great prices. This is on the side street off of Fairview neat the Tavern. Try the papusa, I'd never eaten one before and they are divine. I crave them now. Get you $2.50 tacos with onions and cilantro the traditional way and I recommend trying their cabbage salad that comes with it too. There are also other great options ranging from hotdogs to green smoothies. It's all here. Great for lunch and has picnic tables for out door seating. No frills, no lines, no hassle, just good food quick and easy. read more

I am so impressed with this place. They tell me they use local organic ingredients and this place serves the real deal. I've had beef, chicken and chorizo tacos and both verde and roja tamales. Mango smoothie was fabulous. Next time, torta and/or pupusas. The location (Old Fairview Rd) is a bit hard to find, but worth the effort. This local business deserves all the support they can get. read more

Not only was the food delicious but they were really friendly! Spots like these are hard to come by. I most definitely recommend trying it out! read more

This place is fantastic. I haven't had a fresh papusa in so long. Their tongue burrito with cilantro sauce was great and their mango smoothie had REAL mango. Their portions are great. The large Horchata my friend ordered was indeed very very large and tasty. Can't say enough good things about this place. Will definitely be making it on my list of go to places. There was also no line (unlike WD) read more

It would be a shame to miss this local gem!!! Everything is made in house, local, organic and 1,000% delicious. The selection is varied but not to where they spread themselves thin. The owner I believe, I did not catch her name, is super sweet. If you appreciate fantastic food and supporting locally owned business, this is your spot. This food truck has been kickin, making tasty food in the area, for over 13 years. My new favorite is breakfast- Home made croissant with bacon egg & cheese and one of their freshly whipped up fruit smoothies to go with. There are picnic tables right next to the food truck to enjoy your meal there! read more

Little Gym of a spot in Oakley. People are friendly always smiling and happy to see you. Food is excellent and a lot of what they use is local and organic, rices very reasonable for what you get. They just added dinner and the new item is Pollo A La Brasa.. a all natural hormone free chicken dish that they marinate 24 hrs in Peruvian spices and cook over charcoal on a hand made over. Hrs.are Mon. thru Sat. 7AM to 9Pm closed Sun. You can call ahead at 828-606-2254 and they take credit and debit cards!! Oakley in general and East Asheville as a whole are lucky to have them here. Please go by and try the food you won't be disappointed and it will help us keep them around. They used to be in the parking lot of Home Depot but were forced to move so many of you probably ate with them there and wondered where they went. Can't say enoug good about this place go ck it out for yourselves! read more

Good burger at a great price. Local meats (hickory nut gap farms) with a couple of really sweet ladies working the grill. The cheeseburger came with two slices of cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and mayo and a side of fries for $6 and change. The quality is better than fast food but more akin to a greasy spoon diner. Great orange smoothie and breakfast served all day! read more
