Mortar & Pestle Food Truck — Restaurant in West Boylston

I stopped by Mortar and Pestle with three other people on a Saturday afternoon after seeing it was near the reservoir. I had heard good things so we decided to go for lunch. We had an exceptional experience, courtesy of the two owners Dan and Lindsey. The service was prompt and friendly, and our food was delivered to us at our picnic table. We ordered a wide array of their menu, including Pea Falafel, a Salad, a Steak and Cheese, Curry Poutine and two tacos. We also ordered a mint and strawberry agua fresca for each person.

The food was incredible. Everyone at the table finished every single bite of food, and everyone sampled each item. The barbacoa tacos were the best tacos I have ever had, and was a great combination of textures and flavors. I had to stop from ordering more of them to take home.

Those donuts are the DEFINITION of succulent! They melt away into such beautiful fruit flavors all while being wonderfully crispy on the outside…I digress. Y’all need to go here! It is imperative! A need!!!! We’ve never been disappointed. These folks clearly love food and flavor...
