    Plantains
    Travis H.

    I got two beef empanadas and an order of plantains. 10/10 on the empanadas. Packed solid with meat and flavor deep fried to perfection. Salted after which enhances the taste even more. The salsa side is good 7.2/10 comparable to burrito shops salsa. The mayo based sauce is 10/10. The plantains were good. Salted after as well. I wish they were more ripe and brought out the sweetness more. 7.1/10. They also make fresh smoothies. Give it a try they are local and delicious! The owner is very nice and his service was great. Nice shaded area to eat is available.

    Great empanadas and friendly service. I had the ham & cheese and the cheese/green chile empanadas. They were perfectly fried. Definitely check this truck out.

    I had the opportunity to try their empanadas at my daughter's Girl Scout trunk or treat event and it did not disappoint. Service was quick and the lady taking my order was very nice. I didn't order any juices or smoothies but definitely will next time because they sound delish! I went with a ground beef empanada and a green chili and cheese empanada both of which were amazing. They are flaky and crispy on the outside but so juicy and full on the inside. I especially loved the green chili and cheese! The prices are super fair, too and overall I really enjoyed it. Keep an eye out for this truck and give it a try!

    Joined my besties to try this Dominican food truck on a lunch whim and enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and excellent customer service complete with tasty empanadas and tostones and unique drinks you can't find anywhere else in Tucson. Also a bonus that the handsome owner joined our fun conversation all without missing a beat quick service and perfect Spanish. Thank you for the good vibes!

    Driving East on MAC we made a split second decision to veer of to the side and finally try Che…read moreCafe. You could tell right from the start the guys in the truck were passionate about what they did. They showed a high level of excitement explaining their different empanadas and how to reheat them when you got home. On our first attempt, we ordered the ground beef , apple, chicken, pizza, and fatay. They neatly arranged it in a medium size pizza box that had the qualities and included the reheating instructions. Each empanada had initials stamped so you could identify the types without having to bite in to it. Every detail was well thought out with the customer in mind and I thought that was a great touch. Fast forward to reheating and biting in to the empanadas, I found them to be very flavorful. You could tell the flavors were layered nicely. These were so good I went back the next day and walked away with their large pizza box. I pretty much tried everything that wasn't special order. My preference, but I like that it's baked and not fried. The internal ingredients are more pronounced and not masked with fryer fat. The size was perfect in that you can try more than one and not be stuffed. It's quality over quantity and in a place like this it matters. Good stuff. I'll be back. Just under $4 each any flavor.

    I drive past this food truck all the time and finally decided to stop to try it. This is a to-go…read moreonly, as there's not enough room for seating outside the truck. There's always people pulled over ordering when I drive by and I'm so glad I stopped. Now when I say these are packed with flavor, I mean it! I've had empanadas in the past with only a little filling. Not these bad boys. They are stuffed full! We ordered the beef, the chicken, the humita, and the apple pie. All were AMAZING! The chicken was my favorite- so much flavor! And all of them were stuffed full. I definitely recommend stopping if you're around the Vail area.

    They had a good plan in place for Xmas eve walk in for tortillas and the line moved appropriately…read more I arrived around 11 on Xmas eve and was still able to pick up tortillas with no problem but the selection was minimal. This is by far my favorite tortilla shop on the eastside for fresh tortillas. I have tried the corn, flour and the lard, they are all great and come in many different sizes. I ended up getting green corn tamales as well and I'm so happy I didn't serve them for Christmas. They were very poorly made. Even after steaming them The masa was chunky and so much skin in it the insides were very dark and almost orange which I assume was the cheese. I ended up throwing them away they were inedible. So my rating is based on the tortillas not the tamales.

    La Mesa has the best tortillas on the east side of Tucson. It is our go to since we are far east…read moresiders...if I feel like taking a drive St. Mary tortillas are my first choice. Today, I decided to explore their red chile burros and refried beans. Sadly it was a complete disappointment. Red chile was watered down with no flavor at all. Seriously I can not recommend this at all. The shredded meat was cooked fine but again no flavor. The refried beans with smashed with some whole beans mixed in and they were just okay. No real flavor again. Service is always excellent, friendly and fast. Their place of business is always clean and welcoming. Food was not good...at all and that makes me sad to write this. Edit: I wanted to add a positive on the green corn tamales we bought. They were very good. So out of the three food items we purchase the green corn tamales were a positive!
