They have recently been added to the Secret Trail Brewing Company's food pop up rotations on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. I wanted to try all the meats but settled with the pulled pork sandwich topped with pig candy coleslaw and a side of German potato salad. + The sandwich's flavor was great. The pulled pork, coleslaw, and house made bbq sauce married perfectly. I struggled for a bit to find the bits of "pig candy" but when you do, it just adds another layer of texture and porkiness to the sandwich. + The German potato salad was not what I expected. Instead of mayonnaise, it's mixed with vinegar making it a welcomed, acidic accompaniment to the sandwich. - They were a bit slow to start off. I arrived around 4; they needed another 30 minutes. - I don't think they are fully equipped to handle the weather outside for a food stand as my pulled pork could've been warmer. I'm rooting for y'all! All in all the food was delicious, the issues are minor and could be improved over time.

Everything was good. I wouldn't categorize any of our food as great or outstanding, but it was definitely good. The best thing I tasted was their "Roasty Ghosty" salsa/sauce. This trailer/kitchen business has a cool vibe, a couple 21st century hippies putting together Mexican style food for those who hunger, or those who just have the munchies. The menu items are named with double entendre titles that align with Cheech and Chong or Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The cashier and cook are personable and provide car delivery service, after you order at the trailer window, of course. Prices are on the higher side, but everyone seems to be charging more these days. There's a good chance I'll be back for more one of these days.

In planning the event, David was responsive, made coordination easy and customized a few things for us. They were very organized, and served guests quickly - there was never a line despite having so many people. And the food was AMAZING! Best salsa I ever tasted. They put chips and salsa on the tables, brought their own condiments table for various homemade hot sauces, chopped onion, fresh cilantro, etc. plus brought a garbage can to make everything easy for the guests - and the host. Instead of spending time preparing and serving food, I was able to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. At the end of the party, our guests all commented how incredibly delicious the food and sauces were. Hiring El Shastaquero was the best decision we made for our event to be a success. They take pride in what they do, and it shows.

It goes with everything and is the perfect consistency. I really like the hot a lot, but it's too spicy for every chip (for me). I like to dip the hot every 3-4 chips. The medium I can eat on every chip and pour over anything! I bought the mild once by accident and it was still great. It would be a great option for kids, elderly, or people who just like the flavor, not the heat. I rave to anyone who will listen about this salsa. I wish they sold it in Paradise!

The dressing is creamy, and everything tastes fresh, but the bowl is just too bland overall. It feels like it's missing something to bring it to life like a little tang, acidity, spice, or even just a bolder seasoning would make a difference. It's a decent, healthy meal, but with some more flavor, it could be so much better.
