Stopped by this little food truck today and WOW... absolute hidden gem…read more First off, the owner is seriously one of the sweetest people you'll meet. She took the time to walk me through the whole menu like we'd known each other forever; you can tell she genuinely cares about her food and her customers. Now the food... unreal. The beef empanada was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The buffalo chicken empanada had just the right kick without being overpowering. And the dessert empanadas... I don't even have words. Straight up addictive. And then she went above and beyond; threw in a free chicken empanada for my kids, which was awesome. But here's the real review... my 9-year-old son is one of the pickiest eaters on the planet, and now I won't be able to keep him away from this place Great food, great vibes, and even better people. This is the kind of spot you root for. If you see this food truck -- STOP. You won't regret it.

The place is nice inside, welcoming and selling some cool things alongside the food items. We both had a platter, one with falafels and the other with the marinaded chicken. They played had incredible salad and a red cabbage salad. Both were excellent! The bread was sold and warm and very fresh too. Then there was some white rice included and it was delicious too! It was jasmine rice and very tasty. We will have more items in future visits. Also, the platters came with a cup of their lentil soup, which for us was slightly different as it must have been made with tomatoes. Stop here and give them a try. You will love it!

So with only a bit of juice and chimichurri, it works. But on the bites without any chimichurri, I still found myself wanting another ingredient, a bit of something zesty or sour or other. The pastry, uuuuuhhh, what is this pasty called again? It was very good, light and flakey and still kind of warm with a bit of cream on the inside.

I was unusually free for lunch today and thought I'd check out a place I hadn't been before. As the…read moreresult of quick spurt of research on the way home, I discovered this place. You can't see it from the main road and the outside may look a little unassuming, but don't let that fool you. This is a hidden gem in Orange Park. Surprisingly, there don't seem to be very many places for good authentic Mexican tacos. This is probably as close as you can get. It doesn't hurt that it's a grocery too! Prices here for the made-to-order side won't hurt the wallet, and you can find some rather unique and quality stuff otherwise. Service was extremely friendly and happy to help in either English or Spanish. In terms of flavor, the al pastor was top notch. It comes with lime wedges and your choice of either mild or spicy salsa. While there isn't anywhere indoors to sit and eat, there's several tables outside to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather. Give this place a try!

I got the pabellon arepa and taqueños to go and there was a very short wait (they make the arepas fresh!), but it was so good. I also enjoyed house made mango juice which was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Parking is a bit tight, but there's more parking within walking distance. All in all, a very authentic, local spot.

The server was really friendly and recommended some great options for us. We ordered the following: 1) THE QUEEN - classic Venezuelan "chicken salad" with their home-made avocado mayo, cilantro and sliced avocados (also known as the Reina Pepiada). Fresh with a great balance of umami flavors! The cilantro green sauce was an amazing add-on with a little spicy kick! 2) PORKO LOCO - slow cooked pork marinated in red wine with queso blanco. Tender, moist, and very flavorful. Amazing! 3) CACHAPA - soft crispy pancake made with sweet corn and fried cheese in the middle. Flavor bomb of sweet and savory! 4) EMPANADA (BEEF) - tender, shredded beef with great flavor of savory. The dipping sauce was white, tangy, vinegary, creamy with a slight spiciness. Delicious! 5) SOURSOP JUICE - rare to find restaurants with this drink. Ate the actual fruits in my homeland in SE Asia. The juice was milky/creamy, sweet with an earthy taste. Great health benefits eating or drinking soursop -- antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, etc. Other notable item was the Passion Fruit Juice however, I did not try it. My bestie really liked it. Overall, wonderful experience at the restaurant of the food, service and great interior feeling creating a great ambiance. Definitely will visit again and try out more menu items.

I could tell the chimichurri had great flavor, but there wasn't enough of it. All in all, it was a decent lunch, but for $20+ with tax/tip, I expected better. I might try the empanadas next time.
