I ordered the Fiery Bird, which is a chicken and jalapeno empanada, and a side of black bean and corn ceviche. $5 for the empanada and a side.
Things were a little rocky, they're just getting the routine down, and surely that's to be expected when you're a brand new food cart.
A few of the items from the prior day's menu weren't currently available, which disappointed a few people stopping by to check it out...
Sweet and Savory empanadas are offered, at $3 each. After having one empanada and a side, I can see where ordering two might be preferred for a meal... yet this cart could cater to those just looking to snack just as easily as those seeking a full meal.
There were options including goat cheese and sweet fillings, some with asparagus, some with meat, some chocolate and banana - a wide variety of choices.
Now, for my take on the food...
A richly flavorful sauce was served with the empanada, and I used it all dipping my chicken-jalapeno filled empanada into it. It was delicious.
The black bean and corn ceviche was also delightful, and went down quickly. I'd order two empanadas next time, though, as I am still a bit hungry after downing it all.
The two guys running the place were super friendly, and apologized for not having everything up and running fully, promising they'd get the hang of it shortly. To be fair, it wasn't noon yet, either.
I see potential here, I'd love to see them succeed as they have more time to get up and running.
