Finally found the food truck at NewBo this afternoon and I'm glad I did. You walk up to a window at the end of the truck to order while two people cook, one outside to cook the pupusas and one inside to put your order together to give much when it's finished. The truck is small, clean and easily accessible. I ordered a chicken and cheese pupusa to eat for lunch and a bean and cheese to eat later. I also ordered a tres leches without the fruit on top to split as dessert for each pupusa. The pupusas were outstanding. They cool them to a golden brown on one side (down) then serve the less crispy side up. The salsa roja is good but the curtido, which I don't normally eat, was spicy and good as well. Vinegary without being excessively so. The golden brown crispiness is a nice touch and adds to the flavor. Though it does make it difficult to cut on the foil and styrofoam containers. The tres leches us some of the best I've had. Some places the cake itself is too dry, considering how it's made, it's quite surprising. Here though, it is primo. It's like ordering a good baklava, some things just always taste right and this tres leches is one of them. They haven't claimed the business on Yelp yet but they do have a Facebook profile, find them and their appearance schedule, you'll be glad you did. https://www.facebook.com/share/15NJ1CvzTQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr read more

AH-Mazing!! You NEED these pupusas in your life right away!! I ordered via Facebook messenger and they let me know when they were ready to be picked up. Steamy hot, soft and delicious!! read more

Los Ortega's Pupuseria - Food Trucks Near Me

I got a chicken and cheese papusa at last Saturday's farmers market. I expected cheesy goodness but instead it was dry and seemed like there was no cheese. The salsa and pickled cabbage made it more palatable. Others have had good experiences so maybe my experience was a one-off. read more

Deliscious and reasonably priced. I got my Pupusa "Kinko" style (cheese on top). It was so amazing and I couldn't recommend it more. read more

Los Ortega's Pupuseria - Papusa, Beans, cheese, meat- Kinko Style - Food Trucks Near Me

Food - if you're like me, you may have heard of a pupusa but never had a chance to try one. Well today in my bank parking lot on the corner of 37th Ave SW AND Edgewood road, the food truck for "Los Ortega's Pupuseria" was sending out some tempting smells- all offered at just 5$ each (add 2$ if you want it Kiki style - which is this amazing melting of cheese over the top). For any who don't know, A pupusa is a traditional dish originating from El Salvador and Central America. It is a thick, handmade tortilla made of cornmeal dough ("masa de maíz") filled with various ingredients such as cheese, refried beans, vegetables like loroco and ayote, and other options like black beans and different types of cheese. Los Ortega's, like many traditional pupusarias infers theirs with curtido, a lightly fermented cabbage slaw with chili peppers and carrots, and a mild, tomato-based salsa. Ortega's curtido has a slightly back end black pepper note that I didn't personally like so I didn't eat much of it myself but the light pickling on the cabbage and carrots was a nice sour and crisp contrast to the gooey and sweeter cheeses and meats of the pork and bean pupusa I ordered. As I learned today, pupusas are naturally gluten-free and can be made with dairy-free cheese to keep them vegan (though I forgot to ask if Ortega's offers a dairy free option my apologies). As you can see from my pictures the food is well made and it was 5/5 tasty in my opinion so I will be seeking this truck out again. The Ortega crew was very hospitality oriented and glad to answer questions and guide me to getting the food experience I would enjoy especially when I told them I had never had Papusa before. Regarding ambiance when it comes to a food truck I mainly look for clear and well kept signage and clean conditions all which I saw being handled very well here. Check out the info on the card and find out if the crew is at Newbo or somewhere else and give this food truck a try. read more
