| - Ahhh, Roach Coach - how far we've come!
These days, Phoenix is finally starting to get the hint that GOOD food on mobile trucks can work - and work well!
My first introduction to Jamburritos was at the Great Cajun Cookoff and Food Fest. I would have written about the gumbo - but as I was on the planning committee for the event, thought it would be a conflict of interest. And, by the time things slowed down enough for me to actually eat that day, only a handful of the restaurants still had food. I didn't want to skip kudos to a great place just becuase I was too slow in getting there. That said...the experience I had that day was certainly good enough to get my attention. I "liked" them on Facebook and have had a great lunch with them that past 2 days.
I saw the Facebook update that the truck would be at the Ford dealership on Camelback yesterday and today. I made plans with Kim T to meet for lunch today...but I couldn't wait!
Yesterday I tried the special - 2 catfish po boy sliders. Nice fresh rolls, perfect remoulade, shredded lettuce, 2 good sized cornmeal breaded catfish filets fried to perfection and a dollop of black bean salsa. YUM! Adding hot sauce made it perfect. The only problem (which I was sure to share with them today), I took the platter home, left it on the table for just a minute to get a drink...and my dog Layla stole one of the catfish filets! So - not Jamburritos fault at all, but I was left a bit hungry.
Today I met Kim T. She had the K-sadilla with fried eggplant, I had the steak jamburrito. We were both happy campers! Her K-sadilla was enormous, and had to be eaten with a fork. There was just so much good stuff in there, the tortilla never could have held up! The steak jamburrito was HUGE, and filled with chopped steak, slices of andouille sausage, rice, beans, cabbage and cheese. Every bite was amazing...but did I mention it was HUGE? It's seven hours later, and I am not even interested in dinner.
Prices are VERY low for the quality and quantity of food received. Yesterday's special was $3.99, the highest on the menu, I believe, is $6.99. I could be wrong about that...it may be the $5.99, which was the price of my burrito.
Fresh, hot, delicious food and WONDERFUL people in the truck!
Mark Brown, the owner, came out to chat with us - before we even got our food, we were made to feel like family. (Meant in the good way!)
Definitely worth finding on Facebook or following on Twitter to see where they'll be serving up next!
