Pretty good! It's a little worrying to visit a food truck parked in an auto parts lot in Glenwood, but there again, if a food truck has SURVIVED being parked in an auto parts lot in Glenwood, there must be something to it, right?
Visited on one of my free days when I was alone and looking to try something new, since my family is allergic to "new" and my friends just aren't the "let's do lunch someplace potentially questionable" kind of people. (Seriously, if you need a friend to go be adventurous for lunch with...)
Parking was easy enough, the lot was pretty clear. There were other cars parked, people enjoying their lunches in the freezing downpour that is quintessentially Oregon.
The menu board was handwritten, but well organized and easy to decipher. Nothing too weird or out of the ordinary, if you've been to any Mexican food restaurant in your life ever. They have everything from tacos to enchiladas, burritos, sopas, nachos. Beverages are bottled sodas.
The man manning the cart today was friendly, patient and helpful. I noticed they are a "cash only" establishment, which is good to know- I usually don't carry cash but happened to have enough on me for burrito and a tip.
Burritos come with meat, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, rice, and onion. Nothing too far from the norm. No cheese, though, which I understand is more of an American addition. I got a chicken burrito, no cilantro or onion.
Chicken was lovely, tender and shredded. Rice was cooked perfectly- not mashy but not crunchy. Lettuce and tomato were sparse but tasted crisp and fresh. Beans were plentiful. It needed a kick of flavor, and so I had a side of green sauce in my bag.
All and all pretty good! read more
