I just stumbled upon this place in Jackson Square last Friday as I was in Hamilton for work this…read moreweek. This honestly made my day. I love gourmet food trucks, and so rarely see them. As many of you probably know by now, mac and cheese is my all time favourite. I saw that they had it as a side dish for $2 so had to try it. I wasn't really feeling a sandwich (though the pulled pork looked really good), so I opted for the pulled pork nachos. They nachos were $8 and a pop was $1. When I ordered, the guy who took my order said "why don't we make it a combo" and only charged me $10. I love when places do that! Anyway, the nachos were perfectly cheesy, and were topped with sour cream and pico de gallo (one of my fave things in the world). It was fresh and home made. The absolute best was the pulled pork. It was so deliciously juicy and was coated with a tangy BBQ sauce - not too saucy though! I would get this again for sure. The mac and cheese was just as good. They use the spiral noodles which are always fun. It's not too too cheesy, but has some good herbs and spices that make up for it. It has a bit of a kick too. Just a slight bit of heat. I would have liked a bit more, but I'm not going to lie, with the mac and cheese and nachos I was stuffed and had to bring some more. And yes, it was just as good heated up later. I've been in Hamilton for work this past week too and have walked by Jackson Square everyday hoping the food truck would be there. Unfortunately I've been disappointed b/c it hasn't been there, but they do have a "where are we" map on their website.

Aah my favourite Girl in St Jacobs! This girl knows how to…read moreplease your tastebuds. She prepares offbeat Mexican food with local ingredients. Whenever I visit St Jacobs, this food stall is a must stop shop for me and my hubby. Being vegetarian I love the food options available and how she customizes them for me! So whether its Tamales ( my favourite: spicy black bean and corn) or soups, or tacos - it becomes hard to chose just one of them lol. I generally grab daily spl to eat there and take out frozen tamales, which becomes my lunch speak during busy office hours! My husband can't get over the chicken tamales. My 14 Months old loves the rice and beans which comes in the tamale platter, so Whenever I visit st jacobs I dint pack food for her! Hahah saves me time and effort! Well, what to say. How nicely the girl and her daughter serve you, attend you and treat you , they just build a relationship earning regular customers! Wat to go girl!

I totally was in the mood for a tamale on that cold Grey December day and there The Tamale Girl was…read moreat St. Jacobs Farmers Market! Super friendly and helpful (told me not to eat it like a burrito) and I ordered the mild beef and pork one. Ate it in the car with a mild salsa, so tender and flavourful. Just what I needed! Best price I have seen for a tamale too. I usually make my own because they usually start at $8 but hers were around $5 and so good. Lovely woman and fantasticfood. No complaints!
