We were a little confused how to get in - the entrance is actually inside the Ace Hardware. There's no seating inside, but there are a few tables outside. Probably the best sandwiches we've ever had! My husband had the pastrami and corned beef. I had the hoisin roast beef wrap. So good! And make sure you get the homemade cookies!

The pulled pork sandwich I had was possibly the best ever, and their root beer flavored BBQ sauce is "to die for"! The catered food for our family reunion was just as good, if not better. The brisket and chicken were amazing. Also, I'm not a big corn bread guy but I knew my family would want corn bread so we had that included. Let's just say, if all corn bread tasted as good as Pop's, I might eat more corn bread. If you're in the Iowa City area, do yourself a favor and stop at Pop's!

They hang out on the main drag gong into the farmer's market and roll in quite the fancy truck. The owner told us about how she had it custom built in Florida. At the market they offer a number of breakfast specials, including the aforementioned fries. The combo of meat and cheese and meat and cheese and potatoes is as American as you can get! We're excited about trying it again and at this point it's going to be our go to spot when we visit the farmer's market.

The Rasta wraps are my favorite. They're like the best burritos you've ever had. The kind of food fusion that makes you mad no one else has thought of this before. I can never decide between the fries and the plantains. Both are top notch. The Island Boy pasta is equally delicious. Getting both the jerk chicken and shrimp in the same pasta feels like the kind of generous serving you'd usually only get at home. Again, I want to try so many other things on the menu, but I can't peel myself away from my usuals!

To be honest, whenever I'm feeling down I think of the brightest spot of my week. It's Saturday morning, when I feel that burrito in my hand, and I take a flavorful bite as salsa drips down my face. Local Burrito is synonymous with happiness in my mind. Try it out, you will not be sorry. Also, here's a pro-tip. You order and pay on the left, then get in line on the right where you tell the peeps what burrito you got. There, you can say if you want salsa/hot sauce, or none. The salsa is SO KILLER though, you have to get it.

The food truck scene in Iowa City is sadly lacking, so I've been excited to see this burrito truck…read moremake appearances at farmer's markets around town. This seems like a town that would really gravitate to a strong food truck culture. Used to live close to Durham, NC, where food truck rodeos were commonplace; there seems to be enough locavores here for a critical mass for food trucks here. Having heard about the recent menu changes and seeing them at the forefront of the pro-food truck movement here, my hopes were high. I tried the breakfast burrito, which has eggs, potatoes, and various locally sourced greens. I opted to add cheese curds for $1 extra, an exciting local option. I was somewhat disappointed with the burrito, because it was heavy on potatoes and light on eggs, greens, and curds. If the ingredient mix were balanced, this could have had much more flavor than it did. The other menu additions, such as Korean fusion and thai peanut tempeh, sound intriguing so I'll update my review once I try those.

The place is run by Spanish speaking folks who seem like they're a family. The tortillas for the burritos are made to order, which would've been great if I was having that. I got a salad with grilled chicken, lettuce, black beans, pico de gallo, hot sauce, and cilantro. As hearty as I could go. The grilled chicken is grilled to order on the flat top. The other proteins are in a steam table. The salad was fresh and tasted pretty good. I'm sure the lard refried beans, grated cheese, and creamy dressings would be better. But I was going for healthy af. They don't have receipts, if that matters to you. The people seem like a hard working family who are making their family recipes. It's a pretty good place.
