| - Once upon a time I had every reason to be driving along Edmonton Trail. It was my way home. But these days, I don't often get up to that neck of the hoods. So when kickin' reviews started to show up for a food truck in the parking lot of Barbecues Galore, I decided a lunch time adventure was in order.
Jojo's has been open a grand total of 23 days (as of today). It's this camper/van/food truck in the middle of the lot. As any good food truck does, it specializes in just a few key items. The menu is broken down into 5 parts: sandwiches, not sandwiches, sides, fresh cut fries, drinks.
Today's lunch came from the sandwiches and sides categories. A pulled pork sandwich and a side of coleslaw came to a total of $10.50. I had $10 on me for sure, but wasn't anticipating the tax. Thankfully another 50 cents appeared after a quick rummage through my purse. Although the lady at the counter (I wonder if her name is Jojo?) offered to take the 50 cents out of the tips that day. "We can't have you going away hungry," she said.
You're order won't be ready right away, they make it on the spot. Also, prepare to take it with you back to the office, or a nearby park (like Winston Heights or Munroe). There's only one picnic table at the far end of the parking lot.
The pulled pork sandwich was as tender as any pulled pork sandwich could be-filling too. The coleslaw was a-ok, the $3 price tag on it for the side seems a bit much, but it's on par with what you'll find for the same sized salads at a grocery store (which I also thing are a bit much and thus don't buy).
I'm thinking my next visit will need to be for a Sloppy Jojo and some of those jalapeno fries that Jon H and Stephanie C were talking about.
