I am talking about those life altering instances of pure joy that make you laugh, cry and scream random obscene words while grabbing your groin to do an MJ spin. Such days for me were the first time I tried Guiness (Angels singing), watching Die Hard......each and every time I watch it, and the first time I saw BURP! Then why have I not blown my load by throwing up the fifth star? Allow me to explain...... BURP is one of my favourite spots in Adelaide. A brilliant little ecclectic Mexican Fast Foodie haunt that offers your standard quick eat dishes plus traditional drinks ie. Cerveza and Tequlilla! I think they serve soft drink and other liquid stuff to, but bugger that! I love the feel of the of the place, or the vibe for those a bit more in touch with hip phrases. Not overly well lit, with bright colours and oodles of decoration to completely discombobulate your senses. I wonder if I am the first person to use the word 'discombobulate' in a Yelp? Interesting! The reson for the minus star is simply that the food is not the best Mexican I have ever had. It is pretty good, and not worth complaining about, but just not up to the supreme level that a restaurant needs to be to get a 5 banger from this little tubby Yelpian! For me, it is the perfect place to go if you are meeting some mates after work and need a feed before hitting the turps.....having said that the tacos go down a treat when you are three sheets too!

I first met Burp about 7 years ago, and this 15 year old was instantly in love. But over the years…read morethey began to fall from their pedestal. The burritos were still tasty, but they just weren't that great. So the other day, after noticing Mamak Corner was closed and Burp was going to be the tastiest quick meal in sight, I decided to head back there. Sure I was remembering why I don't really go there anymore, so much better food out there. But it was quick, accessible, and it was a lot better than popping in to McDonald's. I was disappointed that their mango salsa looked like it came from a jar, but most of the other salsas and toppings looked fresh. They have friendly service, a good range of drinks, I just don't worship at the counter of Burp like I did when I was 15.

Let me set the scene for you. It's 9pm New Years Eve at Glenelg...well I think enough said really…read morehey? I was famished, all of the good restaurants were closed or it was $100 per head to go in and drink/eat all you can. The golden arches were a calling but I resisted not much of a temptation and was instead drawn to the spicy green and red lights across the road. "Give me all you got and stat!" I cried. Apparently that equated to a chicken and guac burrito with mexicrinkles (yes you did not read that wrong) and a Corona for $16.95. Well what a way to ring in the new year! My freshly heated burrito wrap was packed with spicy chicken and guac and not too much lettuce, my crinkle chips (I refuse to call them mexicrinkles again) were perfectly salty and spicy and the beer topped it off nicely. The atmosphere was clean and the layout was really cute with wooden boxes filled with cacti and industrial lighting in the venue. It has beautiful big windows opening out onto Jetty Rd so you can feel like part of the nightlife without getting abused by any of it. Overall if you need a quick fix meal that is reasonably priced, very fresh and reasonably healthy, this is a great option on Jetty Rd.

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.

So I like to think I know my way around Latin American cuisines!! Now people can question if this is authentic or not and let me tell you that each Salvadoran family I knew would cook the same dish (lets say Tamales) a slightly different way, doesn't make it wrong! The elements of Arriba Grills dishes are that of Latin American, no question about that. Actually biting in to the chicken burrito I ordered reminded me a lot of the typical dishes my ex mother in law would make. Chicken with rice, salsa, black beans, avocado, lettuce etc. The servings are huge! Still, I devoured my half of the nachos in record time and then polished off my half of the burrito. I do feel like some elements were slightly lacking, salt is needed I think to enhance some of the flavours, perhaps they are taking the 'health' concept too far? Lol unlikely but damn I do love me some salt! The salsa is just so fresh and I loved the hint of coriander. No jar stuff here! I'd definitely come back again, beats Subway hands down, that shit is nasty!!! On an odd note one of the staff members went to say something to me as I was leaving but then changed his mind and said not to worry about it.......yeah well now I'm in deep frustration and thought as to what he wanted to say lol!

It was a peak lunch (12:30pm) and the food court was full. I got in the queue to order (the slow one). Like many places there are queues for each register and not necessarily 1st come 1st served. As I said, it was busy. but the food orders came out all over the place. - about 5 ordered after me but got their meal before I did!! Not Good. I ordered a Trio of Tacos (soft ones not the hard ones) Chicken with Fresh Salsa and Guac, Pork with Pineapple Salsa and Beef with Red Cabbage, black bean and Habanero Salsa.

The line was quite long but moved really quickly. The wait for the food once they took your order wasn't too bad either - I was very impressed that the staff managed to keep chipper and be friendly to people even though they were getting slammed! My only complaint is that as a vegetarian, the veg mix they have in their burritos is a little odd. It might be my personal taste but I wouldn't normally put zucchini and mushrooms in. The black bean mix is very very tasty though. Their mexicrinkles are the best chips that you'll find - covered in salt and spices, they're delicious! A great place to come and grab something that's not too unhealthy for you. Yes, it's fast food BUT they do seem to be slightly healthier for you than other options.

After searching out a rare-as-hens-teeth street parking spot, head toward the train station past…read morestreet art, funky shops and dessert bars until you see Candela, the "firey" mascot which signals that you have reached your destination. Candela is a hole in the wall diner with three or four small tables, and thoughtfully packaged take away. On entry you will be welcomed with a smile by chef and owner Nela Ramirez, who is very helpful, explaining the menu and guiding your selection. Carlos Benitez, the other co-owner and chef, is busy preparing meals in the kitchen. The first selection I made, was a signature arepa. White cornmeal is mixed with flour (gluten free!), shaped into a thick discs, and then grilled on a flat plate until crispy on the outside. In Venuzuelan style, the arepa is then split through the middle to create a little pocket which is then stuffed with filling. Veg Fiesta ($7.50) is filled with black beans and optional shredded cheese and chipotle mayo. It is hot all the way through, soft and yielding in the middle and firm but not crunchy on the outside. It was a little starchy for me, and I wished I had bought a jar of the house made chimichurri sauce ($12) to liven up the flavours. It's not very big, about the same size as a single soft taco, so I was glad I got a few more things. The Caribbean style empanada, "Empanadas Caribeno Queso" ($4.50) was different to the flour pastry type empanadas I'm more familiar with. Again it used the white cornmeal, made into a thick half moon shape, stuffed with feta cheese in the middle. It was smaller than the arepa, but tasted largely the same, though I think this one was deep fried rather than grilled on the flat plate like the arepa. I normally avoid friend foods so this after the arepa felt a little heavy for me. Afterwards I felt the same as when I eat a plate of polenta chips. For me it's definitely "occasional" food. Next time I would opt for the El Vegano, a vegan taco, or the Veg Trío meal plate with two mini arepa breads, rice, black beans and veggies, with a serve of the tasty Quinoa or Heart of Palm salads of the day. I also tried "Golfeados", Venezuelan sweet rolls. What makes them special is "papelón" for sweetening, a by-product of sugar cane processing, and "queso blanco", a salty white cheese. The two special ingredients are rolled inside an anise-flavored sweet roll dough, then baked, drizzled with more syrup made from the papelón, and sprinkled with more of the grated white cheese. It was a perfect sweet-salty treat, like a grown up version of a coffee scroll. I particularly loved the salty white cheese, which is what they use a lot in the US with Mexican cooking. With a dessert like that, and the enticement of lighter but still signature regional dishes, it certainly warrants a long overdue repeat visit!
