Our favorite was the falafel & hummous sandwich. It was piled high with two or three large falafel balls and tons of veggies. It was served on a nice, crusty, home-made pita. Definitely worth checking out if you want to sit outside or take food back to your place.

I called Jade in September about catering an event in Buena Vista in October, but when she said…read morethey owned and operated an Asian Food Truck, I thought I was out of luck. She asked what I was looking for and we went from there. I live in MA and hosted a brunch the day after my goddaughter's wedding, on October 23rd and I could tell just by her voice and enthusiasm that she and her husband would be able to pull it off AND to exceed my expectations. I agreed with all of her suggestions and on the morning of the 23rd, I went down early to check on things and to meet her and it was all uphill from there. The food was fabulous, the attention to detail and my wishes were honored at every step of the way and we pulled it all off seamlessly even though we were 1800 miles away during the planning stage. I recommend her highly and can't wait to visit her food truck the next time I am in the West.

Delicious , the extra dollar for carne asada was so worth it. Great texture , flavor and not abunch of fat like some places. I also asked for a side of rice and beans - the rice is white but nice and fluffy and the beans were whole pinto and they gave salt to sprinkle on the beans since they usually put in the burritos only - perfect taste ! We got the spicy hot cause and it was flavorful AND the right amount of heat. Friendly service , good energy and smiles. It's a cute food truck and outside picnic tables had shade and sun, you could hear nearby running water. A must try!

Omg Ya'll! We discovered this small little truck because my husband and I rented The Little Red…read moreCabin next door. We camp in Salida every summer. I'm so glad we decided to stay at TLRC otherwise we wouldn't have discovered this truck. Let me tell you, I was hesitant. I'm from northern Mexico and reside in San Antonio, Tx. so tacos are a big damn deal to me. My in laws had us booked for dinner every night so we had one chance to run next door and grab a couple to go. Looking at the menu I noticed how moderate the prices were. Still, I wasn't expecting much. We decided to get an order of the "Chicken verde" and "Pork Carnitas". The sweet girl at the front was friendly and brief. Which I like, I don't like people talking to me. After we put the order in she asked what kind of salsa we wanted. "Oh. The hottest one you've got!" I confidently responded. We decided to walk away just so they could do their thang. We returned about 10 minutes later and the order was ready. I could hardly stand my excitement. Walking into our cabin my husband decided we should wait a little bit longer to eat. "Wait a minute, *green goh* ! I'm hungry! And I've been wanting a taco for weeks!" I said in my determined Mexican voice. I proceeded to open the neatly packaged boxes. I didn't know which one to pick! I bet you can't guess what I did? Being the sinful glutton that I am, I grabbed one of each. I carefully poured tiny drops of the red salsa. But then I remembered my father told me I had bigger pelotas than my brothers and went a couple of more drops. The chicken verde was the first bite. The lettuce made the first bite a bit crunch. The taste of the chicken verde hit all sides of my tongue and mouth. Then came the punch of the red salsa. They really know what they're doing with this. I was impressed. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and it reminded me of the Christmas pork tamales that my momma makes. The juices were flowing out. And everyone knows that a messy taco is the first sign of a good taco. Next, I had a bite of the pork carnitas taco. The sour cream added delightful hints of tart and the pork was cooked to tender perfection in the red sauce. It was obvious they were cooked for hours. I enjoyed the pork carnitas the most. I didn't add as much red sauce. So dad, you were wrong. I'm a shame. In all seriousness, this was a very special treat. It is especially difficult to find delicious Mexican food in SOME parts of the north. Especially delicious tacos, My husband and I highly recommend that you try these. We're excited to try the rest of their menu next year!

They call it a 'business kink' regarding a lack of calls returned? Sooooooooo, one must be in business more than three months in order to become adept at simply returning phone calls? Wow, how sad.

Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.
