Sin Wagon "American Food" - SW 5th and Oak, North Side



Yesterday, I mentioned Sin Wagon, which is a new cart that was just preparing to open for their first day of business - next to Spaghetti al Ragu. I decided to give them a try today.

They boast 'all natural' chicken and beef, and you'll soon learn, looking over the menu, how appropriately named this cart is. Most of their items are battered and deep fried, and served with a side of ranch or blue cheese for dipping.

"Fingers," breaded chicken or beef, are offered as a basket with fries or tots, or, for additional funds - Mac and Cheese Balls, or Bacon and Bleu stuffed Jalapenos.
These are also available as sandwiches.

A burger is available with a butter grilled bun, as well as a wrap featuring the same deep fried chicken or beef, and a BLT wrap.

The "Whaddup Dog" is an all-beef dog that can be served with chili and cheese for another $1, then the "Batter Up!" - a hand dipped honey corndog. Despite there being several hot dog carts, this is the first I've seen that offers the standard "chili dog" on the menu.

They do offer salads, with or without meat on top, in case you want to fool yourself into thinking you're getting something health-conscious here.

Sides are fries, tots, onion rings, and the previously mentioned Bacon & Bleu Jalapeno and Mac and Cheese Balls.

Elephant ears and chocolate chip cookies are available for those who don't die of a heart attack eating the main entrees.

I chose the steak finger basket, substituting the fries for the B&B Jalapenos.
(pictured are the B&B Jalapenos and a steak finger, with bleu cheese dipping sauce)

The steak fingers had a nice kick to them (I ordered them spicy) - the breading was subtle and flakey. I think they could have been pulled out of the fryer a bit sooner, but they were tasty, nonetheless.

The B&B Jalapenos, though -- MMMMmmmmmm, these are good. Crispy on the outside, soft, spicy, and bursting with bacon and bleu cheese goodness on the inside. Just enough to make your scalp start sweating. I may stop by this cart just for these once in a while.

"Welcome to the neighborhood."

  1. The wagon food has become the part and parcel of a large number of people in the United States. Rather than becoming a new option for varied food items, such food on the wheel has become a cultural icon. Certainly, this culture will be spread all across the world in short.
