We actually found this little spot on accident while trying to find somewhere to eat. The first thing I noticed was the banner for the world central kitchen which helps feed people in times of disasters such as hurricanes and floods as well as the furloughed workers from the government. This was already a plus in my book. We parked and walked around the food trucks. There was a truck that served cocktails and beer, another that served Puerto Rican food, one that served Mexican food, one that served Italian food, a Greek food truck, lastly a small one that served frappes. Being on the island of course we got food from the Puerto Rican truck as well as the Italian truck. The Puerto Rican food truck was called Que Toston! Absolutely amazing. The gentleman from the truck who brought us our food gave us each some hand sanitizer before eating which was an awesome detail. The food though. I had mamposteao with avocado and potato sticks. It was perfect. The creaminess of the avocado mixed with the rice and the crispy potato sticks like heaven. The Italian truck we also got food from was called The Meatball company. Another hit. They had a sign out that they were serving furloughed workers for free. An absolute plus in my book. The food was also amazing. The macaroni and cheese though. Exceptional. My kids tore it up. It was so delicious and creamy and you would get this beautiful kick from the cheese they used. The cocktail truck my sister got a drink that had lavender, grapefruit, and orange juice. Stellar. It was strong enough but not too strong. Everything was so amazing and delicious. If I'm ever in this area again I will 100% be going back. The area was also very clean and well kept. Highly highly recommend this...
Read moreThis review is for the "The Meatball Company" food truck at this location. ( I give 4.3 ⭐) I have yet to visit the other trucks, but when I do i will make my own review for them.
The Meatball Company has a decent selection of meatballs that include ones such as Italian, Korean, chicken and buffalo style balls. They also sell meatball subs, sliders and pasta with meatballs and desert. I actually happened to stumble across this place because I took a wrong turn heading to "Lote 23" (you should check it out as well) but I'm glad I found it, back to the balls....
I had what was a take on a Banh Mi, which is a sandwich typically served in Vietnam. The sandwich came with 4 juicy meatballs topped with a nice home made aiole, veggies, pickled carrots, cilantro and jalapenos. This sandwich came with a side, which you can choose 1 out of 3. Mac n cheese, chickpea salad or Lays chips. I chose the chickpea salad which paired well with the Banh Mi and it also came with tortilla chips for some odd reason. Regardless, the sandwich was well prepared and tasted great. The meatballs were pretty tender and seasoned quite well, but once the marriage of vegetables and pickled carrots and the picante jalapenos fell into the grasp of a fresh supple French bread, this became a big joyful sammich which made me happy and a...
Read moreVisited for the first time for dinner. On one hand, it's nice to have all the different options, especially if you're there with a group. Tons of seating, nice atmosphere. The negative for me was that some of the workers were soooo pushy. I wound up settling on something because I felt so pressured and it wasn't that great. Ordered empanadillas and was given "mofongo balls" instead without explanation. They tasted good, but it was just plantain - nothing mofongo about it really. All the photos of the boa buns can make you drool, but they're just not spectacular. And I'd say skip the chocolate chip bacon cookie - sounds amazing, but it seemed old and the flavor wasn't enjoyable. Everything was also very very expensive - it was one of those experiences that we all had our hopes up for but made us leave feeling...
