We first heard about Esuki Esquites from a foodie on IG and thought it sounded like such a unique…read moreconcept, plus looked really delicious! It's the first build-your-own Esquites bowl we've ever seen, and the whole Mexican-Japanese fusion concept is such a creative (and delicious) twist.
They have a small menu, which kinda makes it easier to decide, but the customization makes your options endless! You start by picking your base (Esquites, rice or 50/50), choose your protein, and then add your favorite toppings. We went with an Esquites bowl topped with jalapeños, jammy egg, and chicken al pastor -- everything was cooked perfectly (egg was jammy, chicken was juicy & flavorful). After trying the base with all esquites, we'll definitely be doing the half-rice/half-Esquites combo next time because we imagine the rice would soak up all the incredible juices and sauces.
We also tried the Hirata Pork Belly bao (super meaty pork belly in the fluffiest bun -- very peanut-forward! We loved it, but would probably do a tad lighter on the sauce next time to keep the belly as the star of the show), the Chilangyosas aka gyozas (nutty, earthy, and kind of reminiscent of a chorizo paste -- one of our top bites), and the Strawberries & Cream dessert that completely surprised us in flavor. The strawberries are marinated in sugar and sake, with miso-cinnamon cream, mint, and ginger -- it's layered, refreshing, and unlike anything we've had before! It had way more depth of flavor then we anticipated!
To top it off, the Fetch food park itself is super cute, with covered patio seating and a relaxed vibe. It's a husband and wife owned food truck. The wife greeted and served us that day and was incredibly friendly, and everything came out quickly and fresh!
Overall its a tasty unique spot to check out for sure!
