There was a food truck parked outside of Blackmarket Bakery on that Saturday when I was there.  Blackmarket Bakery was really busy.  So was this Piaggio Gourmet on Wheels food truck.  Actually most people get food from both the bakery and the food truck.



Even though we just ate at Break of Dawn, I felt like I wanna get something because the food smelt and looked so good.  I couldn't help but starring at the yummy food people were eating.




Piaggio is a gourmet Argentine taco truck.  Everything looked so good on the menu.  I was having a hard time deciding what to get.  A guy who appeared to be the owner asked me if it was my first time there.  Then he talked to the people inside the truck in a foreign language that I don't understand (Argentine?), and they gave him two little containers of sample for me to try!  How nice was that?!  He let me try their skirt steak and pulled pork, telling me both are their signature meat.  Pulled pork was flavorful and very good.  And the steak, oh my that steak, it was melt in your mouth kinda good.  I knew exactly what I want to get after trying the free samples.


Pulled Pork Taco / Skirt Steak Taco ($2.00/each)

I brought two skirt steak tacos and one pulled pork taco http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  One steak taco for me, and the rest for Dr. P.  I kept on telling Dr. P how good the skirt steak was while taking the food out of the bag.  He kept on saying how full he was from Break of Dawn, how he was about to pop, how he couldn't eat anymore.  I insisted he tried one bite at least.  He took one bite and said, "wow this IS really really good."  Then he finished both steak and pulled pork tacos.  He kept on saying that this is his favorite food truck comparing to Kogi and Barcelona OnTheGo.


Chimichurri Fries ($2.00)

Also got an order of Chimichurri Fries.  It was $3, but if you order it with other food, then it's only $2.  The fries was good on its own, but even better with the chimichurri sauce.  From Wikipedia: Chimichurri is made from finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, vegetable oil or olive oil, white or red vinegar, and red pepper  flakes.  We had leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge.  The next day I sauteed some shredded rotisserie chicken, leftover fries, and the chimichurri sauce.  It was soooo good that way.

This taco truck was a great find.  Seems like I've been having really good luck running into good taco trucks lately.  :-)  We'll hunt them down next time when we're really hungry to try more of their yummy food.
