Cemitas Poblanas — Restaurant in Payette

I read about this food truck and saw they had molé but nobody reviewed it. So I took the risk. I say risk because there are many kinds of molé and variations within those types. It's a complex sauce. I had a favorite for years and years when I lived in L.A., it was a family business known for their incredible molé and I had to have it. Then the third generation retired and closed it. I began a quest. It made me kind of dubious after a while. Bad molé can be bitter and one dimensional. The good stuff is art. Layers of flavors, like a story or a symphony. I thought "A FOOD TRUCK in Payette has molé?"

So I drove over from Nyssa and investigated. I was tempted to chicken out, so many yummy options on the menu. I love a good torta. always wanted to try a cemita, but I made myself risk the disappointment. Even resisted the urge for back up tacos just in case. The service was warm and friendly and I got there during a lull (4:30 on a Saturday) and my food was ready in maybe 5 minutes. But 3 cars pulled while I was waiting so I consider myself lucky. Drove home and it was still nice and warm. WOW. Heaven. Dreams come true. It's THAT kind of molé. The good stuff. Someone's treasured family recipe. Art. The molé that makes me glad to live alone because nobody is getting a bite. And nobody could watch me using my finger to get every bit of that complex, flavorful, perfect sauce. Generous portions, for $12 I had a meal that would be $17 in a sit down place. I snarfed that plate of food with lots of gusto and very little dignity or decorum and I'll do it again!! Guess I'm going to be going to Payette a lot more! If anyone is molé curious: this is your spot. But I warn you, the bar will be set high, don't be expecting to find sauce like this everywhere you see it on the menu. This is the magical unicorn of...

Ok I LOVE REAL Mexican food! If you like Mexican food this is a must stop! A little Mexican food truck with some amazing food! I got their tacos with chicken and green sauce! It comes with a slice of lime to squeeze over your tacos. I’ve also tasted the burrito which was pretty good but it just isn’t quite as good as those tacos. Tacos are $2 a piece… burritos are $10 for 1… Horchata (it’s a drink made from rice… for those of you that didn’t know) wow the stuff they sell is just awesome! I’m not from this area but I think I will try to stop in here every time I come through payette!! They also have seating under a tent on the parking lot if you would like to sit and enjoy your food there! Wait time was about 15 to 20 min… but you can call ahead and order… If you haven’t tried it yet! You really should go...

INCREDIBLE FLAVOR

I've had Mexican food from probably twenty different food trucks from all around, and none of them hold a candle to these guys in terms of how absolutely incredible the flavors are.

I've been in the Payette area just over a year now and I can't believe I hadn't had their food sooner.

I would drive out of my way to their food truck and I will one-hundred percent be recommending them to anyone and everyone who asks about...
