Border(less) Grill


I meant to post this yesterday, but got sidetracked.  Yesterday for lunch, my co-worker Madeleine and I walked down the street from our offices to the Northrup Grumman plaza for the Wednesday food truck on the east side of the building.  This week was Border Grill (www.bordergrill.com).  I have been to the restaurant (many years ago) but never their truck.

I ordered the combo with two tacos, rice and beans, and a soda for $7.  I had the Yucatan Pork and Carne Asada tacos.  The Yucatan was actually very tasty.  It was topped with I believe jicama, pickled onions and orange segments.  It had a very nice play of the sweet and spicy.  The Carne Asada taco was a little disappointing.  The meat didn’t taste like it had been seasoned. 

Madeleine also had a combo, but with a Quesadilla.  She ordered the Poblano Quesadilla and told me that though spicy, the flavors were rather flat.  Neither one of us thought the food was very exciting, and given the competitive food truck market in L.A., I’d hope they’d step their game up. 

On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and the service was quick.
