    We were visiting Burlington, VT over the weekend for a graduation. Decided to go to this place for…read moredinner because of the Gluten Free options. It did not disappoint! First of all, if you fancy some drinks, looks like they have some good options. Most of their items are items are gluten free except the burritos. The portion size is good, and the meat was flavorful and tender on tostada. For dessert, we had the Buñuelos which is also gluten free. It was soft and fluffy, went really well with the dulce de leche sauce. Check it out if you are in Burlington.

    If you're looking to escape the crowds of Church St. this little place lies east along Bank St…read more It's got a great vibe with a diner or railcar feel. Just look for the shiney silver exterior. We got there late around 8:30 PM and were quickly reminded that they closed at 9. The place was hopping and even though they were in a hurry to get us moving we didn't have our order taken for atleast 10-15 minutes. We started with chips and salsa and my son said "it was the best salsa he's ever had". The chips were fresh, tasty and gluten free. I got a chorizo buritto and it was large, filled with beans and rice and great tasting. My son went with the chicken enchiladas which he devoured quickly. I believe my wife ordered their enchiladas. Overall, the food was great and flavorful, service wasn't the best and we felt rushed to leave. The kicker, and this may be due to the close proximity to Church St, is our bill was around $80 (which included two drinks). It's way to pricey for some chicken, rice and beans, etc.

    It is a restaurant and not a truck so you can sit and eat. It's a very cute place with inside and…read moreoutside seating. The bathroom is clean and the bar is cute. It was a little hard to find at the roundabout but the signs pointing helped. Servers and hostess are exceptionally nice and do wonderful. I had a to go order and I was expecting more, but not the most authentic Mexican food. I got a veggie burrito and veggie quesadillas. It lacked a lot of flavor and spices. I wouldn't order anything again. I got a margarita while waiting for my food which came out really super quick after like 10 minutes.

    I would give them zero stars if I could without ever having eaten a single bite of their food based…read moreon the following encounter. 6/28/2025 7:30 ish AM. 8 S. Main Street Saint Albans VT. My neighbors & I are woken by blaring contemporary music. I'm not a fan but let's be honest it's probably not considered the most banging music of all time. The car will be on its way soon & I can go back to sleep. Right? Nope! The music continues blaring, so I'm up now. I see a text from my neighbor. He's pretty unhappy and reports the music is coming from a food truck. One of the gentlemen in my building went outside to investigate where the music was coming from & discovered it's the El Gato Cantina food truck bumping his music from a sub. He says a guy working in the truck told him to eff-off. I guess contemporary music can be banging cuz it's certainly rocking my bedroom windows. And the people who vibe out to it aren't calm sweet souls. It's pouring rain, I get my dog suited up & we head outside for a morning wee. Upon walking outside I realize just how loud this sound system is & I decide to kindly ask them to turn down the music. Maybe a female will get a different response. I knock on the open front door. There's a man holding a broom. I ask "Can u plz turn that down, it's not even 9AM sir" This rude entitled jerk waves his hand at me as if I'm a gnat, and responds. " yeah yeah, get the F out of here." I respond with, "sir This is our neighborhood and you woke many of us up can u plz turn it down." I walked away. I have no desire to hang around to see what other profanity he's planning to throw my way. I waited a good 10 minutes or so and when the music kept blaring, I stood in front of his truck and called SAPD. He turned it down before the cruiser got there. But seriously? This is how your business treats our community? You expect us to want anything to do with your business? Honestly, stay in Burlington/Essex with that nonsense. Saint Albans at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning is not the place for you. This business is not in it to serve our community. I highly recommend giving this food truck a pass.
