    GET THERE EARLY! My fiance and I decided to go to New Haven to check out the food trucks for our anniversary since so many friends have raved to us about them. Upon arrival it was apparent that every food truck there was either Mexican food or Puerto Rican food. I went to one food truck with Puerto Rican food and ordered only a chicken empanada and a Piña Colada because that was basically all they had. We finally settled on going to La Jaltera, not really sure why...maybe because it was the next closest Puerto Rican food truck with a varied menu. We waited in line for approximately 45 minutes only to be told that nothing as far as frituras were available. I settled on the mofongo con camarones. It tasted about right, just missing a bit of crunch and some more garlic. The small salad that was included was a nice surprise. That said... it didn't live up to the $14 price tag. BTW...CASH ONLY.

    Not the best experience…read more The service was quick, their truck seems clean. However there's room for improvement. We ordered the Tripleta sandwich which is three meats: chicken, beef and ham with signature ketchup. That was delicious. Price 13.00 I ordered just Mofongo. Very disappointed. They didn't put any pork rinds on it as traditional Mofongo calls for. Price 8.00 for crushed plantains with garlic? Meh at least should of had some lettuce and tomato on the side. Per drinks, their offerings were very limited and if you want Piña Colada (no alcohol) you will pay 8.00. Overpriced. People go to food trucks to do something different and get a taste of their island. However, just because it is a truck, and a business you shouldn't cut corners like this. Not memorable. Take away. The guy that took my order was really nice. Would I drive to New Haven again to stop here. NO.

    At this year's New Haven Food Truck Festival, my husband insisted that we get a tripleta from this…read morespecific food truck. While there are normally two sizes to choose from, today was just the large size for $10. To be honest, at first I was very ticked that we had to wait so long for our food. Compared to other trucks at this festival, FBT was going particularly slowly, it seemed. However, the wait was worth it. The tripleta was probably my favorite thing we had the whole event. Admittedly, I've never had a tripleta before today, but I loved the flavors of the three meats (ham, pork, and steak) and the mayo+ketchup combination. I didn't want to share! We were also the only people ordering who ordered in English, too, if that's any indication for authenticity.
