Excellent sandwiches! Serrano ham and roast pork really shine, as do the patatas bravas. The meatballs--albondigas, were a surprisingly great dish too. Bub and Grandma's bread serve the sandwiches well. They've been parked Sundays on Hillhurst right in front of Maru Coffee, which is a nice place to get a coffee to wash it all down. The couple who run the truck have a nice story too: https://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-fo-tumaca-food-truck-20170527-story.html read more

Tumaca Truck - Food Trucks Near Me

I attended the grand opening of Tumaca at Rosenthal's in Malibu this past Sunday. It was a great setup: beach breeze, live music, wine from Rosenthal's and food courtesy of Tumaca. I wanted to try a few things so Victor, one of the co-owners, suggested their Serrano ham sandwich and the Butifarra. I love potatoes and opted to get the Tumaca fries. Everyday was amazing. The sandwich had great flavor from the ham slices, caramelized onions, sautéed veggies and toasted bread. The Butifarra was a juicy pork sausage topped with peppers and crispy onions on a hot dog bun. The papas were huge chunks of hand-cut potatoes topped with a garlic aioli and Spanish paprika. Perfection. All of it. Victor and Sybile (the other half of Tumaca) are a great pair: so friendly and passionate about their cuisine! Follow their Instagram (@tumacatruck) for updates on locations and definitely try them out if you track them down. You can thank me later. read more

2018 YELP CHALLENGE: 64/100 4.5 A FOOD TRUCK THAT SELLS SPANISH FOOD? Tumaca Truck is an outstanding little find around Los Angeles (always check Instagram/Twitter for updates) that -unlike many food trucks- maintains a consistent schedule. Barcelona style tapas and sandwiches made with Bub and Grandma's Bread!! I got the Serrano Ham sandwich for a pricey $14.25. Tumacatruck.com Quick Tips: -So authentic, there's a slight language barrier. Usually they're open from 5-9 Monday nights at Silverlake Wine, but I was informed via Instagram that they would open an hour later. Always always feel free to reach out to businesses. -Several chairs are laid out so you can enjoy your food! -Food made with love takes about 10-15 min -Brava sauce is slightly spicy. On a scale of 1-Howlin' (10) it's a 1/10 Taste 4.5/5 Even though I would have preferred SPICY (Spanish Brava sauce is supposed to have a bite), my Serrano Ham sando was extraordinary. It came with a hefty amount of succulent, thinly sliced ham (think prosciutto), spicy arugula, sweet/soft caramelized onions, and Brava sauce (creamy Spanish tomato sauce). The flavors were gentle with wonderful texture from the crunchy baguette, sweet onions, and tender ham. I gotta come back with friends to enjoy their TAPAS. Price 4/5 Spanish food is a rarity in LA, and while the prices are a little outstanding for a smallish sandwich, Tumaca Truck is definitely worth your money. In fact, anyone who invests in quality ingredients (especially Bub and Grandma's bread) is worth raving about. Service 5/5 A little hard to understand them because they don't speak English, but don't let that deter you from visiting the Tumaca Truck! read more

The Tumaca Truck serves Barcelona style cuisine from a truck the roves around Los Angeles. Lately, the Tumaca Truck has been rolling up to Silverlake Wine in Silverlake on Monday evenings from 6-9PM. There are two free lots with parking for Silverlake wine, you order at the truck and they bring your food in, and there is $15 per person tasting flights with cheese, bread and brandade from Melody on Virgil. What more could an Angeleno food and wine lover ask for? Nothing. The food is made to order and takes a bit - 10 to 15 minutes - but you will not notice the time as you are sipping wine inside. The food is outstanding. The egg and chorizo sandwich ($12) is delicious. Two slices of hearty bread from Bub & Grandma's bakery sandwiches two over medium eggs, a few slices of bacon, and half a dozen thin slices of dry chorizo. A classic egg sandwich with a little addition that makes you go mmmm. The bacon is super good quality too. The tostada egg and bacon ($7) is simple and delicious. One slice of that wonderful hearty bread is toasted and halved. Half has a bit of tomato spread, an over medium egg and a couple of slices of bacon. Put a lid on it and you have half of a classic egg sandwich. While those were particularly good choices for the LOs that were certainly delicious, we aimed a little higher. We ordered the abondigas ($4.50), which are four super fresh and moist, well-seasoned beef meatballs in a spicy tomato garlic sauce topped with minced chives and served with three little breadsticks. I couldn't believe how moist those meatballs were and how sweet and spicy the sauce was without being overly acidic. I was similarly wowed by the Catalan sausage ($11), which was a toasted sesame seed bun with a light colored sausage that was reminiscent of bratwurst but with a lot more seasoning. It was drizzled with a spicy "brava" sauce (similar to a harissa mayonnaise sauce) and topped with crunchy fried onions and little pickled peppers. The sausage was moist and juicy in a toasty and warm jacked with crunchy sweet and tart toppings. Delish! The tostada jamon ($7.50) was similarly wonderful. A slice of hearty Bub & Grandma's bread is smeared with tomato spread and topped with shaved jamon serrano and topped with marcona almonds. The jamon was rich and intensely flavored by nice and lean. The crust of the bread was perfect for sopping up the rest of the sauce with the abondigas. We absolutely loved our entire meal. The truck and the wine tasting were totally worth the 80 minute trip - one way. Five stars. read more

The Serrano ham sandwich is amazing! The ciabatta bread is delicious and the sauce is just the right combo of sweet and (mildly) spicy. A bit pricy with the extra $1.50 for manchego cheese (for $14.50 total) but totally worth it. We also got an order of the croquettas which were to die for- flaky crunchy on the outside, salty and creamy on the inside. The truck is in a great location right outside of Albertsons on Hillhurst. We will definitely be going back! read more

Great food- we tried it for the first time today, and every sandwich was tasty and excellent. The kids liked it too, which is the ultimate test- they're pickier than me! The kids liked the egg and bacon sandwich and the blt. read more

Lomo Con Queso on Ciabatta ($15), Tortilla on Baguette ($10) and Tumaca Fries ($5) all were perfectly made and prepared, from the roasting of the pork to the the romesco sauce for the Lomo Con Queso, to the garlic aioli for the Tumaca fries, to the care in slicing the meats, vegetables and bread. It was a tad bit pricey, but I understand the need for increased prices for the local quality breads, meats and vegetables. SUPER friendly, Victor had a smile greeting us and taking our order, beaming with happiness and positivity. read more

I read many reviews that said this was the food truck to go to in LA. My girlfriend and I decided to go over Thursday night at their silver lake spot , and to be totally honest, were very disappointed . We initially wanted 2 eggs and chorizo subs , but were told they had run out of the ciabatta bread . The cashier offered us the same sandwich on a baguette, which we agreed to. Then , he talked to the chefs and told us "they actually can't do the sandwich on the baguette".... then why were we given that option in the first place? We decided to get a Classico , the meatballs, the fries , and the tostada eggs and bacon , add cheese . It came to about 40 dollars with tax . After waiting about 25 minutes, we received our food and went home . The fries were by far the best part of the entire meal. Well seasoned and flavorful. 8/10 The meatballs were good, spicy sauce and juicy. The bread sticks were not good, but I'm assuming they felt that it added to the dish somehow. 6/10 The Classico had a good flavor , the tomato and pepper worked well together . The bread was insanely hard and not enjoyable whatsoever. 5/10 And lastly , we didn't even get the tostadas that we had ordered. We asked for the eggs and bacon and got the De Jamon (as pictured below). My girlfriend is allergic to nuts , and it completely ruined her dinner . Luckily it was obvious that it was a mistake, and she didn't have to go the hospital. If we would have gotten the right item , and been accommodated in general, I'm sure this review would have been a 3 star, maybe even a 4 . But sadly , our experience on a Thursday night was far less than what we paid for . For 40 dollars I expected a good meal, and I feel we were taken advantage of . The saddest part is the 9 dollars I spent on a wrong item that Couldn't be eaten Would not recommend , will not be returning . read more

Tumaca Truck - Food Trucks Near Me

Find this truck STAT and get ready for Goodness. This is the only way to get to Barcelona at the moment and it's a Fantastic option. read more

Do not advertise yourself being in a place and then not be there. That is a very very very bad thing to do. Food trucks must be consistent in an effort to be successful. Your food is great but I drove my whole family all the way from the San Fernando Valley based on your Instagram feed telling us where you'd be and you weren't there. The Hillhurst location did not feature a Tumaca Truck today. Not good business at all! Shame on you for ruining our whole day! read more

Amazing people. Realized they were closed when I arrived only to turn back when one of the guys told me I dropped my wallet (thank you to his awesome girlfriend who saw it on the sidewalk). On top of that, they agreed to make my order when I told them I was going to be in deep water with my girlfriend for retuning empty handed lol. You guys saved the day! Our second time there and everything is delicious read more

Tumaca is top notch food truck material! Their sauces are phenomenal, the chorizo sandwich is light and flavorful, the bread is the perfect texture not too dry not too crunchy. Very balanced breakfast option. The tumaca fries are tasty too. Love the soft crunch of the potato and the aioli is addicting. Met the owners, they are very friendly and keep their set up very clean. read more

Tumaca Truck - Chorizo & egg sandwich w/ tumaca fries - Food Trucks Near Me

Wow! The food is delicious and not only by food truck standards. I went to Silverlake Wines (Silverlake location) on Monday evening for their flight special. Tumaca works with Silverlake so you're allowed to order food from the truck and they will bring it inside for you to enjoy with your wine. Apparently they do this ever week. Tumaca accepts cash, CC and even Apple Pay! The spanish food is kind of tapas-style, wish small portions meant to be shared. Each dish ranges from $6-$12. Between the 4 of us, we ordered 2x 6 different dishes and we were stuffed. It's not cheap but it's a damn good value considering the culinary masterpiece of each dish. Croquettes: these looked like giant tater tots (3 per order) and came with a white dipping sauce. The inside had a soft potato mash with some sort of meat- bacon or ham? Oh my god, so good! The outside stayed crispy even towards the end of our meal. A sign of a good croquette! Tumaca fries: Think dirty fries. Super crispy potato chunks smothered in a cream white sauce and cayenne pepper. Not spicy, but very flavorful. Each bite is firstly crispy from the potato and then creamy and rich from the inside of the potato mixed with sauce. Bombdotcom. Meatballs: 3 golf ball sized balls per order. The meatballs are served smothered in a slightly spicy tomato sauce. The meatballs are very moist and flavorful even on the inside. Very good and meaty. Jamon sandwich: the ham is piled generously high and served on top of a flaky bread roll. My friend who has been to Spain said the ham tasted very similar to the quality you would get from Spain. Luckily we ordered two orders of this because the four of us would have thrown punches for this dish. Beef tomato sandwich: this sandwich is best described as tomato soup in a sandwich. It has a generous layer of creamy tomato paste on the bread followed by sun dried tomatoes, grilled onions and beef. It was very delicious. Chicken sandwich: the chicken is crisped up and marinated so that the interior has flavor too! I'm pretty sure they used chicken tenderloin and not breast because it wasn't too dry. This was my favorite dish because the crispy chicken, lettuce and soft flaky bread roll complimented each other so well. I am very impressed by Tumaca. I don't know if they have a restaurant location but if they plan to open one, I'm sure they will do very well! read more

I tried Tumaca specialties at Row DTLA (Mondays). As a Spaniard (from Barcelona) I can say that they serve the BEST tapas & sandwiches you will find in LA - far beyond Food Truck standards and compared to best tapas restaurants in Spain. The food quality is awasome and the cooking is perfect! Don't miss their ham croquetas... Delicous experience!!! read more

We had the BLT, Lohita with bacon...absolutely amazing. High quality and delicious flavor. Lives up to Spanish cuisine!

I work in Venice so my co workers told me about the best chicken sandwich from a truck that parks at Abbott Kinney in front of blue bottle coffee. I went to get the Pollo brava sandwich and OMG. It was seriously so good! The bread is nice and soft (not like the ones that cut your mouth bleh!), The fried chicken was essentially chicken tenders but soooo juicy, some lettuce, hot pepper, and the damn sauce! I think the sauce made it for me! It's a garlic aioli and brava sauce! Next time I definitely want to try their Serrano ham sandwich and their breakfast sandwiches! I think they are usually on Abbot Kinney on Thursdays for lunch. Always a good option since you don't always want to spend $30 on lunch in the area. read more

So good, I've gotten the polla bravo a couple times and it's so damn good.....so damn good. It has a little smoky spice in the sauce and a spicy pepper on it but a really good balance. I love the tumaca fries, they are perfect. Sometimes this truck is dangerously close to my house so I may become a regular LOL read more

UH-amazing ---so fresh, flavorful and delicious!! The bread from Bub and Grandma's is so delicious and helps set these sandwiches apart for sure I got the Serrano ham on ciabatta and would highly recommend it but all of my coworkers who got other items all loved theirs too. read more

Pollo bravo. Best choice I've ever made. Won't get anything else unless my gf FORCES me to. Which she did. turns out the Serrano ham is also very good. read more

Amazing food! Driving by and saw the Big Red Truck parked outside of Blue Bottle dtla Arts District Refreshing to have new concepts and different flavors in the sandwich dept! Third time here and consistently amazing. Croquettes are terrific and the Tumaca Fries are bomb! Ingredients are tasty and fresh (obviously cuz they really are from Catalunya and France so quality is tops) everything is around $10 mark which is where it should be on a food truck, but often isn't for LA's food trucks.... Favs are Sausage, Serranon ham, croquettes and fries. But all good here read more

They are usually near blue bottle in the arts district on Mondays and Fridays. As a regular here, Tumaca Fries and Pollo Bravo are favorites. Nothing beats the creamy flavor of these! All the appetizers are fantastic but the tumaca fries in my opinion give you more bang for your buck. This place is a must try read more

Nice people and amazing food. I got the spanish ham sandwich without the sauce and it was fantastic. The bread was fresh, crispy, and not too dense. The flavors of the sandwich were wonderful. A slightly spicier version of proscuitto for the ham...the cheese complimented the salty meat. The french fries are unreal. Freshly fried potato with cheese and some paprika. Highly recommend you check it out if you find them. read more

I visit the Tumaca Truck @ Sunset Junction on Saturdays every now and then, as I live nearby and I barely have time to eat, let alone cook. I'll lead this by saying I shied away from the spot for a few months because I was put off by the price point, but after I tried it, I can say the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail in very simple sandwiches was worth it. The owners are a very kind and friendly Spanish duo and the truck is parked right in front of Intelligentsia's outdoor seating, which is a great spot for people-and-dog watching. So - I say give it a shot. Split a sandwich with a Bumble date or something. Live a little! read more

Great truck, A health rating, different food than many trucks. I had the Catalan Sausage sandwich, which was great. I'd definitely get it again. My wife had tapas: a ham croquetas and also the tumaca fries. We loved them all. read more

Boyfriend brought a chicken sandwich home for lunch as a surprise. Said it's from the truck downstairs of our building. The sandwich is called Pollo Bravo, let's just say, it is BRAVO! The flavor is on point and the bread is great. What I love is that sometimes these food makes you feel sick and bloated afterwards, but this was great! Hopefully they are working toward a store soon! read more

Absolutely brilliant. Everything you want out of a food truck: amazing quality, great bang for your buck and wonderfully unique. Had the pollo bravo : 10/10! My girl had the Serrano ham sandwich and that was 11/10! Balance of sweet savory and spice like you wouldn't believe. Felt like I was in Andalusia! Highly recommend if you ever see the big red truck, get in line. The service was wonderful too. It was parked next to stumptown so obviously had a great cocoa too. read more
