Everything comes off one flat-top, two pots and a fryer, so the list stays short. Prices include tax and match what’s on the window.

Before you order

Dietary notes and allergies

  • Both chiles are meat-free

    Our red and green chile sauces have no meat, no meat stock and no lard, so either one can go on anything.

  • Where the pork is

    The bacon and chorizo burritos, the stew, the adovada and the biscochitos. The beans are cooked without lard.

  • Wheat and gluten

    Flour tortillas, buns and sopaipillas have wheat. The enchiladas use corn tortillas, but everything shares one flat-top and one fryer, so we can’t call any dish gluten-free.

  • Allergies

    Tell us at the window. We’ll tell you what goes into a dish and how it’s cooked. In a truck this small, we can’t promise that any item is free of wheat, dairy or egg.

Feeding the office?

Call (505) 555-0137 by 9 a.m. for six or more burritos. We’ll wrap them, mark each one red or green, and have them ready at that day’s stop.
