El Ajicito Food Truck

They are at Dragas right now — and of course I can’t say no to Peruvian food — ordered the lomo saltado, lemon garlic fries and empanada — omg so delicious. I have no complaints other than I wish they were a restaurant so I always knew where they were! Prices were soo reasonable — the lomo saltado plate is $ 12 — and is a great food truck portion. Fries were $ 7 and 1 empanada is $ 5. Tax is included in the price and they accept credit card through four square. No complains — food came out hot and omg so tasty. The lomo saltado was amazing!!! Better than I even anticipated! yUMmY! Can’t wait to find them again!!!

Really yummy. They were parked at Dragas Brewery in Rocklin and we took advantage. Ordered the chicken empanadas and lemon garlic fries. The empanadas were moist and really nice flavor. I also liked the side salsa. The lemon garlic fries with cheese were great! I like my fries in the softer side and these were perfect. The lady even brought the food inside for us since it took about ten minutes. I would like to try some other things as well!

Tried this yesterday while they were stopped outside of Device. It was rainy but they had a canopy to stand under. Everything was delicious. I ordered the salchipapas (possibly spelled right?) and my boyfriend got the lomos saltado plate. The salchipapas was so good!!! It was sliced up little sausages over a bed of fries, drizzled with two different sauces on different sides. My boyfriend loved his plate as well. The portions were generous. I was full after my meal but still was tempted to order more things off the menu just to try them. The people working there were very friendly, and when we didn’t go back outside to get our food in time, someone came in and brought it to us so we could enjoy it hot. I would highly recommend checking this truck out if you see it on one of the breweries schedules! They don’t have a schedule posted on their website, but they do update their Facebook page to let you know where they’ll be each night if they’re out.

So good, Lomo Saltado was great. Tender beef. The shrimp basket was the bomb. Good beer inside at New Helvetia.

I am SO glad to have randomly found El Ajicito! Their food truck was parked in front of New Helvetia Brewing; since I’m a fan of food trucks and haven’t heard of them before (and since I was intrigued to find out what «Peruvian street food» was) I decided to give them a try. I ordered the chicharron sandwich and the salchipapas. The lady who took my order was super friendly and my food was ready in less than 5 minutes– score!
The food… you guys, THE FOOD. The chicharron was deep fried pork with sweet potatoes mixed in with the other burger fixings. I didn’t know how that taste combo would work but let me tell you, it works perfectly. My favorite was the salchipapas which was fried hot dog bits over french fries, with cheese and some of the most delicious condiments I’ve ever had– 2 different creamy savory sauces, one was a little sweet and the other was a little spicy. I guarantee I will get the salchipapas at any future visit to El Ajicito, they were SO damn good!
I highly recommend El Ajicito, give them a try if you see the truck! You can see where they’re going to be on their FB page. They show up at a lot of local breweries, which is perfect– their food is the perfect accompaniment to a cold beer.
