EL PATIO TRUCK — Restaurant in City of Mount Vernon

My husband and I have been ordering from here for a very long time. We ALWAYS get the shrimp Empanadas tacos. This is what first caught my husband’s attention about this place. When we use to get the shrimp empanada tacos you actually had whole shrimp in it. Now they switched to some type of grounded up stuffing that they say is grinded up shrimp. I called the restaurant today to voice my concern in regard to the change and the person I spoke to tried to tell us it was never made with whole shrimp like we are crazy and don’t know what we ate.

I have visited El Patio Truck a couple of times and every time the experience has been amazing. The food is incredible. The empanada tacos are my absolute favorite. If you enjoy saucy and juicy foods, this is the item to order. My favorites are the pork, cheese and shrimp. The tacos are completely full with meat and cheese and maduros in every bite. Their chicharrón de pollo is on point along with the rice and beans. They have the best Moro as well. The food is well seasoned. When it comes to drinks they have homemade chinola and Lemonade juice.

The food and the people running it makes me wanna come...

I've ordered from here a few times over the past few years. But this past weekend I ordered a tray of 25 empanada tacos for her party we were having. And they were so good and popular. They were the first foods to be devoured and everyone was asking where we ordered from.
