Lunch Truck - Carson, CA
Appearance(6): These Nachos are served on a Styrofoam plate. There are small containers with lids that one can use to fill up with salsas and after that you must resort to balancing everything back to your desk (since it’s a work lunch truck). The Nachos look like a big mess, with all the toppings thrown on top in no particular manner.
Quality of Ingredients(8): Everything about these Nachos was scrumptious. The guacamole was composed of avocado, salt and lime, and it was more liquid than chunky, but not enough that you couldn’t dip it on chips. The pico de gallo was tasty as well and composed of tomato, cilantro, some lime and a big portion of red onions. Beans tasted fresh and not out of a can. The grilled chicken had little taste, but this was made up by all the other delicious toppings available. The chips stayed crispy until the last bite. These Nachos offered two types of cheeses: shredded jack and the award winning cotija cheese, which was sprinkled on top.
Distribution of Toppings(8): The beans were layered on top of the chips and the rest of the toppings were distributed all throughout the top of the Nachos. The guacamole was on one side of the plate and the sour cream on another kind of awkwardly. The rest of the ingredients were spread out evenly throughout the top and didn’t over power one another. There was enough toppings to cover every chip at about a ¾ to almost full chip ratio.
Price(10): Considering these Nachos come to your work and are prepared by one single cook that prepares dozens of other orders at once, the $4.50 price tag was excellent. Not only because it was cheap and convenient, but they were so delicious.
Overall(32/40): I am extremely lucky to have this lunch truck bless me with its presences twice a workday. The price is right, and whether I’m craving Nachos in the morning or afternoon, I know I can rely on my local lunch truck to fill me up with delicious Nachos.
