I'm pretty sure the hours of this food truck are "when we feel like it" because the last three times I've gone (12:30 on a weekday, every time), they've been closed. They were open once at this time, but never again. If you're not open during prime lunch hours, when are you open? If you're not going to have consistent hours, at least post your hours somewhere on the truck.
Anyway. The food is meh. Tata's brick & mortar location is quite good. Painfully slow, but good. Tata's on Wheels is pretty terrible. The food is clearly made earlier in the day and kept warm on the truck all day, so the rice is crunchy and hard, the pork was mediocre, and the empanadas were dried out and barely edible.
I wanted to love this food truck because it's extremely convenient to my job, it's different than anything else in the area, and I love Puerto Rican food..but I don't even like it. Head over to their restaurant up the street if you have a few hours to spare, otherwise drive the 14 minutes down to Long Wharf in New Haven and get some fresh & delicious Puerto Rican food at one of the many food carts. read more
