On the Macy's side of Summer Street, I spied a new (to me) food cart with the word "AREPA"…read moreemblazoned on all sides situated across from the Summer Street entrance to the Downtown Crossing T stop. Curious about their "sweet corn patties with mozzarella cheese" which were grilled on site (but seemingly bought packaged), I stopped despite the fact that I had recently consumed my lunch. For $4, I received a 'sandwich' wrapped in foil with a paper napkin cushioning my hand against the heat of the contents. It was about 4 inches in diameter, and fully heated through. It was reminiscient of a corny grilled cheese or a corny sauceless pizza. Since, hobbit-like, it was my 2nd mid-day meal, I couldn't believe I ate the whole thing, but then I figured it wouldn't reheat in a microwave all that well... It was a nice snack, but it is priced a little high to make it as a regular snack destination for me... more like a special sometime treat. PS - it is noted on the cart that the arepas are Gluten-Free.

The cheese must have been sitting out for a few days because it was so dry it wouldn't melt. Also the vendor was a huge dick to me. Got mad about me paying by card for a $6 order (that I'm 90% sure was advertised as $5) and mansplained credit card transactions to me. I was so jarred that I asked for my card back but he insisted on completing the transaction while complaining about cars payments the entire time. Do NOT eat here. You will regret it. If curious, this was the cart across from Boston Public Library.

We got the traditional, the wicked hot, and the sweet Italian sausages. My favorite was the wicked hot. The traditional didn't do much for me. I love all the peppers on it. I think it's a dry sandwich without ketchup and mustard so I would recommend. They also have Quality mustard instead of just Heinz yellow. $13 each is a little steep in my opinion, but that's what you get for near venue food

They even called me to clarify my order since they were about to close and didn't want to make any mistakes. From what i can tell most people don't dine in, that this is more of a good food fast type of place. But i would definitely like to sit in and eat the food fresh.

I always prefer whole pickles for that freshly sliced crispness, and the half sours are my preference. Grillo's gives you that unique garlicky, briny, flavor with a not-so-subtle lemony twist.

Now...I won't deduct any stars for the plastic tub, but I challenge you to open a new container without spilling a good amount of brine on your countertops, and maybe even slicing your finger on the plastic. But , this juice is worth the squeeze, and once you manage to get that lid off, you'll be rewarded with a GREAT pickle!

Stopped by to check out BBQsmith this week since I have been waiting patiently for them to open…read more They've got a pretty good menu including tacos and sandwiches with smoked meats, and some BBQ sides like greens and beans. I ordered the pulled pork taco with a side of garlic braised kale. The taco was a decent size and well put together. The meat was tender and delicious. At $3 it was a little pricey for 1 taco, but given the tasiness I'll gladly be back to try another. The garlic braised kale was served cold with a small amount of carmelized onions on top giving a nice somewhat sweet flavor to balance out the bite of the kale and garlic. It was a good size for $2. They also offered some lemonade and half iced tea/half lemonade which I didn't try this time but will. The staff was friendly and when I asked for a suggestion she was happy to help and answer questions. I'll be back to try more options.

I overheard a guy talking about how the Slawich is really damn good. Fortunately for me, he knew what he was talking about. It was really damn good. The bun was soft with a slight crunch on the outside. It's medium sized but the BBQ pork, slaw and garlic pickles were overflowing. The slightly sour slaw coupled with the sweet BBQ sauce makes a perfect combination. I know many people hate the fatty portions of the pork, but I think the sweet softness makes it the best part. The garlic pickles didn't have much garlic taste. I would have preferred regular pickles. It's a $6 slawich so I'd say that's normal price for a food truck sandwich.

I couldn't help myself and got a slice of the lemon poppyseed loaf too, and I couldn't believe how big of a slice they give you! I saved it for later and even though I didn't eat it until the next day, it still tasted great (even better warmed up!) The latte I got was a good quality too.
