For days now I had been seeing this food truck parked along Williamson Road and wondered when will…read moreit open and where will it be stationed. I tried finding more information about this Cuban Food Truck to no avail. Then today, as I was shopping in one of my favorites supermarkets, I hear someone talking in Spanish about how she had dined at El Guajiro last week and how good and genuine the Cuban food was. I didn't want to miss this opportunity to find out more about this food truck, so I asked her in Spanish if she had the address of where it finally was anchored. She gives it to me and tells me that their roast pork sandwich is amazing. That same day I decided to drive in my pearl white Lexus over there, and finally discover the mystery of this new food truck that came out nowhere and had seemed to have impressed all those who have been able to find it and sample its genuine Cuban cuisine. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And El Guajiro Cuban Food Truck in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. As I was nearing the address that my GPS was guiding me to, I clearly began to see the modern, wide, and colorful Cuban Food Truck parked on the side of Envios Express / Envios a Cuba, a business that specializes in Shipments to Cuba. The food truck was one of the largest and nicest food trucks that I had ever seen. One could clearly tell it was a new food truck, not one of those refurbished old ones. Next to the food truck, the owners had set-up a square gazebo dining room, for customers to be able to relax and shelter themselves from the sun and rain as they enjoyed a delicious, genuine Cuban cuisine. The name "El Guajiro" is a Cuban Spanish term for a rural peasant, country folk. It refers to people living in the countryside, with a hardworking lifestyle and deeply rooted to Cuban national Identity and patriotism. This Cuban immigrants,family-owned business, was established to keep the Cuban cuisine alive among the Cuban-American community in exile, and to share it with other members of our community, so they too can appreciate their unique and delicious cuisine. By this time the owner and his wife came out to greet me with open arms and native Cuban hospitality. They talked about how they conceived and are in the process of developing this business and it's menu. How the recipes did not come out of a book, but out of their heritage of their families home kitchens. I ordered a Batido de Mamey to drink, a fruit that is highly popular in Cuba and the Caribbean, and my second favorite fruit after the mango. To eat I ordered the Ropa Vieja, with rice and beans, yuca, and salad. Ropa vieja is one of my favorites Cuban dishes. Authentic Cuban Ropa Vieja requires flank or skirt steak, shredded and simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce. Key ingredients include green and red bell peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, tomato paste/sauce, beef broth, dry cooking wine, and often Spanish olives or capers. Each family or restaurant tailors this recipe to their own style and taste. With excellent background music I enjoy, the wind blowing, and seated at a table under the gazebo, I highly enjoyed this food. Everything was seasoned and cooked just right and was very authentic home-style Cuban cuisine. At the end of my meal I was offered a Cafecito Cubano (a highly sweetened shot of espresso served in a demitasse), and had a sliced of in-house made Flan. Simply, delicious. Inside the gazebo dining room, they also had a Domino's table, one of the favorite pastimes of Cubans, to attract customers to come and play. I've eaten at many Food Trucks, but none of them, as clean, with comfortable ambiance, inspiring background music, and amazing food, as this one. I highly recommend this place and am proud of having had the privilege of being the first one to review it.

El Guero's Food Truck which has currently moved to a new and permanent, primary location next to the One Stop Market #2 at 4331 Williamson Road in Northwest Roanoke is one of those few. Specializing in autentic, handcrafted Mexican street food, including a special menu "From the Grill," which includes "Pollo al Carbon" (Charcoal-Grilled Chicken), "Costillas al Carbon" (Charcoal-Grilled Baby Back Ribbs), and "Carne Asada" (Charcoal-Grilled Sirloin). They are also well known for their massive megaquesabirrias, burritos, tortas, and traditional tacos, as well as for their Aguas Frescas of different flavors such as Melon, Piña, and Mango, among others. Their operating hours here are Fridays 11:00AM - 8:00PM, Saturdays 9:00AM - 8:00PM, and Sundays 9:00AM-5:00PM. While primary stationed at the above address on Williamson Road, they occasionally pop up at other local spots like Salem Walmart. One can track their daily whereabouts on the El Guero's Food Truck Facebook Page or give them a call for more information at (540) 588-4944. They also do catering for private events. I visited this family-owned spot for the first time today. From the moment I stepped out of my pearl white Lexus, I was hit with the incredible, mouth-watering aroma of chicken cooking over one of their charcoal grills, and I knew I was in for a treat. I invite you to view my photographs and videos accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its amazing food. A friendly lady greeted me from the window of the Food Truck and handed me a copy of their menus. Taking advantage of their charcoal grill I ordered their Combo #6 of a pound of Carne Asada (Sirloin) with Charro Beans, Rice. Tortillas, and Sauce. I decided to take it to-go and enjoy it at home with a friend that would be visiting later on. It was a pleasure watching how one of the Grill Masters cooked the thinly cut pieces of Sirloin on the charcoal grill. After he was finished cooking he brought it over to the Food Truck so the lady there could put the finishing touches of a grilled onion and a roasted pepper. I paid using one of my credit cards contactless using my Google Pay. And drove back home to enjoy the meal with my company. In conclusion I highly recommend this Food Truck of authentic handcrafted Mexican street food and am looking forward to returning to try one of their famous Megaquesabirrias.

As you pull up to it, you will instantly notice the grill master smoking ribs, chicken, and steak on the side of the truck. As you walk up to the order window you will smell the savory-smokey smells coming from the grill. The staff at the window have been friendly every visit. You cannot go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. They have the usual staples such as Tacos Traditional, featuring Corn Tortilla, Steak, Onions, Cilantro, and Lime with Hot Sauce, and Tacos Americanos, for those with a less exciting taste. If you like Birria, then you need to try the Megaquesabirria, featuring 12" Flour Tortillas, Birria, Cheese, Onions, Cilantro, and Lime with Consommé and Hot Sauce. Now, all of these items are delicious, but the best of the best are the Costillas al Carbon (Charcoal-Grilled Ribs) and the Pollo al Carbon (Charcoal Chicken). Both dishes are four servings worth and come with Rice, Charro Beans, Tortillas and Hot Sauce. My wife and I love to share an order of these, and we each get two meals from them. And the cost? The Ribs are $30 and the Charcoal Chicken is $24. These are excellent prices for large portions and phenomenal quality. They package the food so well that it is still warm when you take it home, but you can also eat at their picnic tables as well. If you want some authentic Mexican BBQ in Roanoke, VA, look no further than El Guero's Food Truck.

The owner built it with his two hands and also used his artistic talent to decorate it with lively wooden carvings and paintings, as well as a movable wooden woodpecker. Shawn White sells Nathan's All Beef Hot Dogs, Quarter Pound Dogs, Kiolbassa Traditional Sausage, and Kiolbassa Beef Sausage sandwiches/combos, all at reasonable prices. Since 2018 Shawn has stationed his hot dog trailer in Roanoke and Franklin Counties, at places such as Carilion Hospital, Salem Walmart, Ace Hardware on Brambleton, and others, as well as to private booking events. To find out where he'll be or to book an event, you can call him at (540) 520-2622, email him at dogontimehotdogs@gmail.com or checkout his Facebook page Dog'on Time Food Stand to find his daily location. The other day, as soon as I discovered his contact information, I emailed him to find out where he would be on Wednesday, and he emailed me back writing that he would be at the parking lot of the Cherry Bomb Tattoo parlor in Vinton, Virginia, from 11 until 4. This is located in the same Building as Vinton Computers in Vinton, Virginia. And surely it was worth the trip. For just the trailer itself was a delightful thing worth seeing and admiring, a work of art; very colorful and with many wooden artworks that gave it lots of character. Shawn greeted me behind the small window of the trailer and chatted with me on how he started his business years ago and about his products. There were also posted menus and a price list of all the items being sold there. I had a My Way hot dog. Shawn prepared it for me and wrapped it in an aluminum foil in such a way that my hands remained clean as I was eating the hot dog. It had a Touch of Hot Sauce, Squeeze Cheese, Barbeque Sauce, Mustard, Chili, Onions, and Sweet Relish. It was like an orchestra of flavors playing harmoniously and creating a culinary masterpiece of a flavor. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and high-quality of the hot dog. Another customer arrived after I had finished eating and I thanked Shawn for such an amazing tasting hot dog and I took off in my pearl white Lexus to allow other customers to park in this small parking lot. I highly recommend that you find out where he'll be and go try his amazing hot dogs out. Also you can book him for an event. Shawn deserves the total support of our community.
