We were out rougarouin' recently and sampled Cajun grub from this operation's food truck.
What's the verdict? Ca c'est bon!
This truck looks formidable, almost like an armored vehicle. Despite the 10-degree temps, the owner/chef looked plenty warm inside. We ordered jambalaya and street tacos. He told me that someone would bring it inside shortly.
The jambalaya was dynamite, likely the best I have had in Denver. Everything tasted fresh: Juicy, sizable shrimp; spicy Cajun sausage; smoky chicken. Peppers, onions, rice, and beans rounded this out with a bang. I cannot recommend this highly enough. While Cajun tacos defy labels, this "modern street" version doesn't care. The beef tacos delivered fresh, well-seasoned meat, peppers with more flavor than heat, yummy garlic cream, and, while we got the "sweet sauce" on the side out of caution, it was delicious.
The only downside was, I expect, a blip on the radar. While the chef was on point, his companion appeared, well--to be blunt--blunted. After 20 minutes, he brought me one item--nachos. While they looked amazing, they weren't mine. Five minutes later, he hands me "jambalaya." No, it was tater tots--good thing I checked. He went to find the tots' owner. I went to see the chef. "You had the jambalaya and tacos... Sauce on the side." It wasn't a question. I agreed and had my order in minutes. It was worth the wait.
Cajun food fans who see this truck would be silly to pass it by
