You don't always need a fancy name to make things work. For example, I found this truck perched outside Kelly Brewing Company, and they seem to be doing just fine too. Pupusa Lady seems to be a fairly new Morgan Hill food truck, with some sort of county-level COVID-19 compliance dated October of this year and no older social media presence than this very month of November. They seem to make the rounds at local beer-serving spots in the Downtown area of Morgan Hill, running out of a truck labeled Sajj Mediterranean but presenting their own simple menu of pupusas, Mediterranean tacos, and something called Piggie Fries which I may regret not getting. But I did try plenty of the other items, all of which clocked in at a surprisingly affordable $3 each. The Falafel taco came on a single corn tortilla with hummus and tahini and was solid aside from parts having an occasional too-crunchy bit of crust. I would've liked a spicy sauce; popular falafel presentations in the Bay Area often have one, and the Steak Shawarma taco came with a spicy cilantro chutney. Plentiful tender meat was also present along with several veggies on that corn tortilla. I actually kept the pupusas to reheat/share later in the evening. The Revuelta was as solid as any of these traditional Salvadoran treats which I've had, with seasoned pork, beans, and cheese filling a tasty corn masa dough. Pairing it with the cortido (lightly pickled slaw) and mild salsa was helpful for texture and layers of flavor. The Pepperoni & Cheese pupusa sounded like an interesting departure, but the pepperoni was muted by the corn and they forgot to include the advertised marinara sauce in my to-go box. Pupusa Lady shows a lot of promise already as an affordable and fairly enjoyable food option for local beer drinkers, especially with pandemic restrictions in effect. No need to seek them out if you're not in town, but you can feel comfortable with them if they're your food option outside your beer spot of the day.

Shwarma Wrap!

My Sister and I have been wanting to try their papusas for the longest! Soo worth the chase! LoL We ordered the chicken, revoulta(pork &cheese), and bean ones. All were soo good! Hot and fresh.. also, we had to try the Shwarma Wrap. Very flavorful and good to the last bite! We caught the food truck at Guilimermo's Winery. Therefore, it was only right that we paired it with their wine slushies(Lemon Drop). Ahhh.. much needed!

Wow! Absolutely mind blown by this Mexican cuisine restaurant. The menu is quite big but it's…read morefilled with dishes that you don't normally see in other Mexican restaurants. We got: 1. Octopus adobado 2. Chicken enchilada mole 3. Jericayas - Mexican flan for dessert They were so generous with the portion size. You get two huge octopus tentacle - juicy and seasoned to perfection! The creamy sauce that comes with the octopus pairs really well. The chicken enchilada mole usually is made with shredded chicken but the waitress was nice to substitute the inside to grilled chicken instead. The dish was tasty and packed with flavor. I made sure to clean every drop of the mole sauce. We weren't a big fan of the Jericayas, which our waitress described it as a mix of cream brûlée and flan. It was good but I don't think I would get it again. It's topped with strawberry and blueberry fruits. There were so many more dishes that I wanted to try here. I'll definitely be back soon if we're ever around the area. I highly recommend anyone to try this place. The ambiance is relaxed and there are plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The staffs were all friendly and took the time to explain the menu.

Pre-Hispanic Mexican Cuisine OMG!!!! My sister visit me from…read morethe East Coast. So, we decided to visit this restaurant. I have revisited this restaurant five times and counting. The authentic Mexican food is always fresh, delicious and made with love. I would give this place a 10 star if allowed. Excellent, Wonderful, Professional service with a smile. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a pleasant visit. I want to thank Miquel, Angel, Esme', Josue, and Cenoblo for their continuous kindness, warmth, friendly atmosphere that I always receive. Again, thanking you for you. See you soon. T (smile)

Great food! I think this is the first of few food trucks where I said "the food is delicious and…read moregreat price!" I have Fire and Rice on my to try list for awhile so very happy we got to try it. The food was really good. I got the poke nachos and it's made with the wonton chips. Super crispy but well balanced with the poke and dressing. The service is good as well and they are super friendly people. Will definitely be back for more food here!

Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.
