It was
little past lunch time (not really, make it 3pm), I was hungry and I remembered
all the posts on Facebook that
had been haunting me in my hungriest hours. So I went.
I stopped to eat at Uorale Taquería Mexicana;
A food truck tucked away in a parking lot, in the Jesús T. Piñero Ave.
I had to find out for myself if I was
missing something or not.
When I got there, I saw the menu board and the cook was nice enough to explain the varieties of meats.
The
selection went from ‘Criollo’ chicken, beef, pork ‘al Pastor’ to ‘Nopales’ (a
cactus commonly known as “Prickly
Pear”). They had a great selection. I couldn’t take a picture of the
menu but I can remember a few items such as tacos in corn or flour tortillas, burritos, quesadillas and nachos. I know
they had some ‘frijoles’,
guacamole and refried beans as sides, too.
The choice,
for me, was simple. I went with the Burrito ‘al Pastor’; nice-sized flour tortilla
filled with ‘carne al pastor’,
cheese, refried beans, onions, cilantro and pineapple chunks. It was covered with
a red sauce (not
spicy), cheese and more pineapple and cilantro.
It was one
tasty and fresh burrito. Not at all what I was expecting, but I got a nice surprise with
the flavors. Loved it.
The place was simple and yet cozy under the
tarp. A few ‘changos’ (mozambique birds) were around waiting for
the scraps and anything that might fall on the floor (so you get a show too).
Everything
looked and
smelled clean, it had parking and the prices were fantastic.
I can’t
wait to go back and try something else!
