Taste of New Orleans (Food Truck)

[Coyote]

I don't know how many times I have passed up this food truck, usually parked in the NW corner of Canfield's parking lot, but I finally decided to try this out today. Today's special was Stuffed Bell Peppers (stuffed with ground pork, chicken and beef) with Mac & Cheese, peas and a small salad for only $8.00. It was pretty tasty and seasoned like you would want it in New Orleans, it might be a little more reasoned than some would like. 11:30 - 5:30 Tuesday thru Saturday. Friday's special is Gumbo, which I will try soon.

Chef Lee is from New Orleans and it sounds like he would like to start a brick and mortar shop sometime in the future.









(Abita Springs Mardi Gras Bock is from my reserves...)

We saw this truck in the Old Market this past summer and had we not just gotten done eating we would have tried it. Looks good.

He is there almost ever weekday evening when I go by.

Scotty's food truck is there a lot too, usually earlier in the day.

I thought Canfield Plaza at 84th & Center was their primary location?

I’m pretty sure they are in the actual Benson Ted and Wally’s building.

It is in the bricks and mortar place in Benson. I spoke to them last week. I had a huge lunch at their food truck at Canfield’s (no longer a Canfield’s there, but whatever). They lasted the autumn but once the weather dips down to near freezing they told me the truck won’t be out.
The food is delicious, by the way.

It looks really good. I'd make the trip across the bridge for some good cajun food

I haven't hit up their food truck since like 2016. I remember being a little disappointed as the day I stopped by it seemed like they were relying a little too heavily on their deep fryer. Everything on their menu that day was fried. Also, i balked at how small a portion of fried okra they served me for the price. It was all pretty tasty, but lacking variety and not a particular good value. That was years ago. I'm sure they've evolved the business since then, but I can only shudder thinking at what they charge now. I'm not the only one to lament the fact that food trucks stopped being an affordable option (with the exception usually being immigrant-owned taco trucks).
