    OK, I finally got to savour the delights of La Chiva at the recent Fork on the Road event…read more Service was good, staff friendly. Being new to the Food Truck Business and in such a busy place the services was a little slow. .. BUT... worth it. The Yucca (cassava) Chips were light and tasty served up with a little pot of salsa that made them even better. Then the burger, chicken pieces cooked in a South American mix of spices and CHOCOLATE served with some crisp lettuce. YUMMM is all I can say. They also usually have a vegetarian option. If you see the colourful truck, do yourself the favour and give them a go.

    I'm generally wary of the North and South American style eateries that have inundated the scene…read morelately, because (let's be honest) at a glance they're all similar in design and objective, and I find it difficult to gauge how one will compare to another. Personal hang-ups aside, I did try La Chiva at the Adelaide Night Market and I was pleasantly surprised. As is key with food trucks, they give friendly service, and as a nice point of difference they take your name as Señor/Señora ___ when you order, eg Señor Oscar. I ordered the Chivita de Chorizo with a side of Yucas (cassava fries) and I was pleasantly surprised (here I'll mention another hang-up; I don't often like burgers). The flavours worked really well together and no particular ingredient overpowered the others. The freshness of their ingredients is evident in the final product too, which is always nice. They have three menu options (plus the side of Yucas), including a vegetarian and gluten free option. The vegetarian option does have cheese but I'm sure vegans can request it be left out. After my experience I'm less reticent in trying some of the other Americas style food trucks and eateries around Adelaide and I have already recommended La Chiva to friends.
