Staff are extremely friendly and hard working, and they crank out amazing unique dishes beyond what you can find anywhere else in town! The pupusas are my guilty pleasure! Sometimes the wait can be on the longer side, but well-worth it!so just plan accordingly and order your food right when you sit down with your beverage (since they usually park at local breweries)! read more

if you haven't been here yet you NEED to go. Not only is the food delicious and freshly made, but all of the menu items when I visited were gluten-free! It's hard enough to find a diverse selection of foods in Anchorage, but if you want reasonably priced some delicious foods, this is one of my top recommendations. The food truck was super cute, and I ordered "whatever your favorites are, but white-girl spicy." The owner was gracious enough to tell me that everyone has different spice levels and I conceded that my digestive system is often in distress so I asked for the least amount of spice possible. As we waited, we sipped our horchata. It was a chilly winter day, but we didn't mind the iced drink while we browsed the open market outside of Double Shovel. The mountain pupusa was so fresh, delicious and filling. I was able to eat about a third of it and save the rest for later, with the added bonus that it felt nutritious and made with love. The eloté was quite honestly the highlight of my day, tangy and zippy with flavors. This place made my little foodie heart so happy, especially during a time when my dietary options were so limited. read more

Drool... Had a chance to try them out when the sun was out in front of Double Shovel. Repeat visit is a must. (Sadly, they are closed for the winter though). The flaming cheetos elote was good but not great.. Would rather safe my calories for the other yummies! read more

Well, well, look what we have here! A new type of food never before seen in Anchorage: Guatemalan! (still patiently waiting for Burmese, maybe it will hit the Anchorage scene in 2029) I've never been to Guatemala, but I have been to neighboring El Salvador. I'm not sure how "authentic" the food is, nor do I care, because it's really good! I got a pupusa which is hard to describe if you've never had one. I actually had a few in El Salvador and this one was very similar, but WAY more dressed up with toppings (this is a good thing!) It's kind of like a gooey corn-based flatbread that's often stuffed with cheese. Think of if Indian naan bread and a tamale had a baby. It's something like that. It's kind of similar to arepa. Anyway, I had the "mountain pupusa" special. It was a pupusa topped with a plethora of fresh and colorful toppings. This place is located at RE:Made on Tuesdays and will be at the Spenard Foodtruck carnival on Thursdays, when that starts up again. Definitely give them a shot! read more

Central American cuisine has arrived in Anchorage! What an awesome, and creative addition. More specifically Mochileros is Guatemalan, which I've never had. But, as Andrew mentioned the food is similar to Salvadoran cuisine, which I have eaten. As soon as I saw David B. Post about this place I knew I had to try it. This past Thursday I headed over to the Spenard Food Truck Carnival to do just that. I was not disappointed. The guy who served up was super friendly, and helpful. We arrived kind of late in the afternoon so they were out of some of the items we wanted to try. With the guidance of our server we decided to ordered the pupusa and the mountain pupusa. Absolutely delicious!! I figured that the mountain pupusa was just the regular pupusa with meat thrown on top, and I was wrong. Both pupusas have different flavor profiles, and both are delicious!! I love pupusas, and these were very well made. Light, golden brown, super cheesy and not too greasy. The toppings and sauces were fresh and flavorful. Even though this meal came out of a food truck it was still presented well, and came out hot! Portion sizes were decent for the price. A little on the small side in my opinion, but I can always eat more so I try not to be hyper critical of portion size. Definitely a welcomed addition to Anchorage, and our food truck circuit. I can't wait to try some of their other items, and also check them out at Anchorage ReMade! read more

What a surprise to find this awesome food truck!! This trick has Guatemalan food, very similar to Mexican. We ordered chicken doradas, pupusas with chicharrón and cheese, street corn... Street corn needs some work although it's tasty. servings are very generous and taste very authentic. Tortillas are all handmade, too. Since it's freshly made it may take a little. Being patient is worth it. Staff is very nice and speaks both English and Spanish. I will definitely go back to try more of their dishes! read more

Finally! This food truck is so hard to catch, but we made it happen. The Elotes and the inspired flavors are bomb! They were not truly authentic but I still believe everything had awesome flavor. The carne asada on the tacos was juicy and the pickled veggies are always a bonus . Also the presentation is pretty spot on for a take out order. Great place to satisfy my craving. read more

So I had heard about this truck and how good they were but had never the opportunity to try it. Then I saw where's they'd no on base and had to have it. Let me tell you, they didn't disappoint. I had the asada tacos with chips. The tortillas, obviously made daily, were so soft and flavorful. Filled with fresh asada steak and veggies, delicious! So authentic, nothing like it in Anchorage. The chips I believe are also made daily and so crispy and flavorful. Hands down, best authentic tacos I've had since I was down by the border of Mexico. You won't be disappointed! read more

Pupusas aren't Guatemalan food, first of all. This becomes evident when you take a bite of their take on a pupusa: it's like eating a brick! Some bites are just pure cooked tortilla flour. Pupusas should be soft and pliable all the way through. When made correctly, you have ingredients in every bite. It's crazy they've lasted this long, but Anchorage is so desperate for good food they'll eat a semi-tasty brick as long as it doesn't taste like nothing at all... read more

Stopped by this food truck after seeing that they sell elote... the way to my heart! I think Mochileros fills a gap in the Anchorage food scene and has some unique options which I can't wait to try. Today, however, I kept it basic with an order of papusas & elote. The elote was perfect, I don't even know what to say about it - if you have had good elote before, then you know. Corn, cotija, crema, tajin, and a lime wedge...how can you go wrong? The papusas are somehow both dense & fluffy, the right ratio of cheese to maza, served with some really good salsa & spicy veggie mix, topped with a little cotija. I was glad to discover that the salsa has good flavor, not just heat, as salsas can really be hit or miss around town. The only negative was that my papusas had a couple (small) extremely crunchy bits that were too hard to chew - my dogs were very happy for those pieces! Other reviews mentioned the papusas have bacon or chicarron, so maybe those were the hard bits. Staff was friendly and full of pride for their food. Can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

I finally got to try the Mochileros food truck today. I have been wanting pupusas since enjoying them in Gresham a few years ago at a small Salvadoran restaurant. The cashier was kind of friendly. Not as friendly as I expected given their social media, but I digress. I'm here for the food. I got a pupusa for $12. They have pictures pasted to the windows of items. I assumed I was getting a cheese pupusa with maybe frijoles topped with curtido. I was wrong. I am fairly certain some kind of pork, assuming chicharron from the crunchiness hidden beneath. I am not personally a fan of chicharrones or pork rinds as they're too "porky" for me and lately I've struggled with meat in general. Yes I could of asked before ordering what was inside, but I didn't. Chicharron's aside I thought it was just okay. The curtido was nice and briny with a hint of spice from the jalapeño. Tons of cheese stuffed inside which was great! I do kind of wish the salsa and curtido were kind of in the side as the pupusa was pretty buried beneath a sea of condiments and I felt took away from the pupusa because there was so much. My mom enjoyed it. I try to get her to try new foods :) I haven't written off this food truck completely as I'd love to give their chicken dobladas a try or the pork carnitas or carne asada tacos. read more

Love their tacos. We've been here twice and found that they always have good specials and the tacos are always tasty.

This week was the grand opening of Gathering AK Cafe, a chef collective that has rotating occupancy at Anchorage ReMADE (side note: I think that is an amazing concept). Yes, the same one that sells awesome repurposed furniture. I wasn't sure what to expect as I'm not at all familiar with Guatemalan food, but my taste buds can attest to the fact that Mochileros has great eats. Except "great" doesn't do this place justice. Exhibit A: flaming hot Cheetos elotes. Like, what? I was not expecting such a trendy twist on this iconic street food. It was very satisfying in a junk foody way. Their chicken dobladas are just like hard tacos, except they're literally adorned by a "skirt" of cheese. There was just so much cheese. Oh, and the pupusas, they're also stuffed with cheese. The saving graces here are the accompanying pickled carrots, onions and peppers that act as the perfect foil to all the heaviness. Overall, I was incredibly impressed and would easily return. Think of it as a fresh riff on Mexican food. Almost like a cooler, more ecologically conscious older brother to Mexican food. Alright, I'm done. read more

Unlike any central American food that I have ever in my life eaten! They are currently operating in the café at re:Made 13500 Old Seward Hwy. every Tuesday from 11:00 to5:00 Until they get they're mobile operation dialed in. My fellow foodie, the Barron of Brisket (BoB), suggested that I try Mochileros, The latest food truck to join the scene offering Guatemalan fare. That is a mighty powerful recommendation. The BoB and I met for lunch and got a little bit of history on the place from the owner. Just like a flavor profile develops layers over time, so did the story of how they came to be. I will never be able to express how much I enjoy talking to fellow foodies. A passion driven pursuit is impossible to hide. So the menu was short, I knew that I was in for a treat. I ordered the Papusas while the BoB ordered the Tacos de Carne Azada and Chicken Dobladas. The Carne Azada is the only dish that seemed vaguely familiar. I truly appreciate when somebody puts effort into building a menu that they want to present instead of trying to figure out what I want to eat. There was a lot of care put into making the ingredients and individual components of the dish. The sauce on top of my lunch was a very light chili type of sauce with only a whisper of heat and a very mild flavor. The carrots and jalapeños were pickled in house. I got to taste the carne as well. It was vividly reminiscent of the way that my dear mom cooks...putting love on a plate for people she cares about! I can't wait for their mobile operation to launch onto the local food truck scene! I will be one of the first guys in line. read more

I wish I lived near this food truck. Maybe the best food truck food I've ever had. The guy taking orders was great and the food was unique and absolutely delicious.

Stop what you're doing and go eat here. I cannot recommend this place though. My girlfriend and I just tried this for the first time the other day and at cannot stop talking about it! We both ordered the Chicken Dobladas and shared an order of Papusas (my apologies if I misspelled those!) and they were amazing! The portions are great and the quality is top notch. Nothing frozen or processed here! If I had to critique anything it would be making the portion of the Dobladas as 4 smaller pieces instead of two massive ones. This would make eating them much easier. I will most definitely be returning! read more

Ok YUM! Tried this little gem at Double Shovel and I had never heard of it before so it was kind of a blind date. The original Elote was so good I wanted slap someone. The nachos were just meh...they came with a pile of stuff on top but nothing that really sticks to the chip so it was weird. I want to try other things so I would live to go back again. Service was great as well, very friendly! read more

We are visiting Alaska from Tucson Arizona and received a recommendation to have a beer at the Girdwood Brewery and purchase food at the food truck outside. Best suggestion ever! We got there late at the end of their weeklong stint. They were out of several items and so we took their suggestion of having the Macho Nachos, the chicken Dolobras and the Elote. They were all excellent! read more

This is the real deal!!! No other place in Anchorage has authentic Central American food. Seriously!!! They make their own tortillas on the spot!!! I have tried almost everything on their menu and you cannot wrong with ordering one of everything ;) I have had plenty of Central American food, I have travelled across Central America on a foodie mission ( not kidding) with my parents a few years ago. The pupusas are to die for, and you don't spend the 1000 plus dollars to get to all the way to El Salvador. The majority of the menu is based on Guatemalan dishes like dobladas and other delicacies. The owners, a lovely couple, she ( the main chef ) is from Guatemala and he ( the main mechanic) is from Utah. They are an amazing, down to earth couple, that has blended both of their backgrounds into some amazingly delicious food. As a bonus a little Alaskan flavor ( reindeer) is also incorporated into their dishes. As of now ( March 2019) they are operating our of Re:made on old Seward, just south on the Huffman circle. I cannot wait until their delicious food hits the roads on the bus ( which btw was hand painted by the guatemerican pair). If you want a piece of Central American authenticity with a side of five star customer service I can guarantee you that these folks will show you genuine appreciation for loving their food and welcome you time and time again just as if you were family. Btw- everything is from scratch and I mean everything!!! read more

Simply amazing! Everything is gluten free and so fresh! Amazing owners and they have a very consistent product.

So good! I was excited when I heard about this truck, and definitely wasn't disappointed after I visited. The pupusas are amazing!

This was an overall disappointing experience after hearing so many good things. First of all the wait and service were quite poor. No smiles from an awkward cashier made the 20 minute wait even weirder. I ordered the mountain pupusa ($16)and it was under and over cooked. There was a super hard substance (that I think may have been cheese at one time) that was so crunchy it felt like plastic between my teeth. The dough itself hadn't been fully cooked but somehow tasted burnt. There wasn't much meat for such a spendy item. Maybe another time things will be better? read more

I had the Mountain Pupusa. Not even knowing what a pupusa was prior to this I now feel like I've been missing out my whole life. It was amazing! Seriously deep flavor profile! The staff were so friendly and I can't wait to follow them on FB and find the next location where they will be. read more

We were so excited to try this new food truck, sadness overwhelms us after doing so. Pretty spendy. My friend got the Mountain Pupusa and that looked amazing! They totally forgot my order, I had to go up and request it. She said 2 minutes (musta taken 3 to get flavoring) the Crunchy Chicken Dobladas and they were faaaaaar from crunchy. And greasy. :( with no seasoning, no flavor! Would try again, but something different. read more

Amazing food. Had pupusa and tacos at Girdwood brewing. Perfect after a bike ride and paired with good beer

I ordered the al pastor tacos with a chicharron and cheese papusa today. I wasn't impressed with the tacos and the papusa was all cheese and no chicharron. $13 for 2 tacos and the "hot sauce" had no flavor or heat at all, I'll go somewhere else where I can get 3 tacos for less with more flavor. I won't be back read more

I went there twice, both times it took at least 30 minutes to get our food. Cashier was unfriendly and made an off handed comment about us needing to call our order in before hand, we ordered 4 items and I didn't feel that was a large order. There was very little chicken in the doblada. Won't go back read more

I seek this spot out of I'm looking for some good tacos. Nice folks and great food! Pupusas, elote Asada... all on point!

Absolutely amazing food. The flavors are wonderful! Service with a smile every time! This is my favorite food truck in town.
