You may think a food truck is a step down from a normal restaurant but in the case of Mobile Gourmet you\u2019d be so, so wrong. The Mobile Gourmet Food Truck is indulgent, tasty, and as good as any sit down place I\u2019ve been to in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus of the Mobile Gourmet is Venezuelan street food: arepas, cachapas, patacones, and of course empanadas! The arepas are served on a pair of smaller corn patties. They\u2019re super crispy and far easier to eat. You can choose from fried cheese, pulled chicken, pulled beef or roast pork. (I think the roast pork is the best in the city, you\u2019re allowed to disagree… but you\u2019ll be wrong.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a real treat, get a hot dog, served with fried potato shreds, cheese, choice of sauces, and lettuce. Be ready though, unless you\u2019re ordering an actual hot dog there won\u2019t be a hot dog in the bun, instead the meat of choice. It\u2019s a bit misleading as it\u2019s really just referring to the buns, but they\u2019re delicious nonetheless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also make an amazing sandwich, the pepito, a popular Venuezualan sandwich with your choice of grilled chicken, pork, or sirloin in between a baguette and topped with cheese, house sauce, \u201cpink sauce\u201d, fried potato shreds, and lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confusing? Just think of almost everything on the menu as the same toppings and meat that are in the arepas, but just wedged Arepas (fried corn cakes), Perros (hot dog buns), or Pepitos (french baguette). That\u2019s how I explain it to my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, why am I reviewing them for my dessert blog? THE BEST SWEET DRINK EVER. The decadence of this wonderful menu extends into the drinks. Aside from the usual sodas, juice, and water, they offer Chicha – a thicker horchata that\u2019s delicious to start with, then gets even more sugary when topped with condensed milk, and served iced. I admit going to the truck just to get a Chicha and I\u2019ve never been able to finish one… but maybe you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the place for you if you\u2019re on a diet. It\u2019s the kind of food you want after a night on the town or, in the case of my father, if you\u2019re extremely hungry and want a meal that will immediately throw you into the couch. They\u2019re open 6 PM to Midnight from Wednesdays through Saturdays. You can find them at Founder\u2019s Square at the main entrance. You can smell the food a mile away, you won\u2019t miss it. Remember, they\u2019re a food TRUCK so be prepared to wait for your food if the park is busy and especially after the clubs close.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
