Don Churro

This late night review was brought to you by Daylight Savings Time. (Thanks prick) Now to the review… I’m currently in the middle of a midlife food trailer crisis in which I feel I must try every food trailer in my immediate radius. So I am. Don Churro was in my path today. First of all, I have never had Cuban food so I played it safe and ordered the traditional Cuban sanguche/​sandwich. I really loved the kind of bread it came on but that is where my love kind of fizzled out. Kind of like when you look at your watch towards the end of a first date because while you are having a good time you know you are never going to have this guy’s babies. All the elements were there but they were all just kinda bland and the ingredients past the bread seemed store bought, if that makes sense. So it WAS good I have to say but it wasn’t like «OMG I’M TEXTING MY SISTER UNDER THE TABLE TO START PICKING OUT BRIDESMAID DRESSES CAUSE I’M MARRYING THIS GUY» good. It needed a kick, a surprise, a something, to zazz it up.

It was late. I wanted a snack. Short (not that short) and sweet [just like this review] and not another TACO. (No offense tacos.)
Order the Churro! It comes with a caramel dipping sauce, just a little dessert to go with the other empty calories you probably just consumed.
The service was pleasant and they provide seating!

I’m glad I only checked Unilocal after I placed my order, because the negative reviews would likely have steered me elsewhere. What I got though, was a good, simple meal that didn’t disappoint in the least. The Cuban may not be a haute cuisine interpretation of the classic sandwich, but it was solid and substantial. Extra star for the good churros with caramel sauce, and for the pleasant service.

The Cuban was completely disappointing. Dry, hard and bland. I should have went to any of the other trailers next to it.
Skip this place!

Grabbed a quick dinner here before going to an event at a local bar. I got the Cuban sandwich and paid with a credit card via the Square app (yay!). Unfortunately my excitement does not extend to the sandwich. I’ve experienced a wide range of qualities when it comes to Cubans and this one did not rate very well. While it contained all the expected ingredients, it really lacked anything to make it actually taste good. Bland is probably the best description for it. At least for $ 6 you get a fair amount of substantial food because that’s seems to be all you’re paying for.
There are several picnic tables set out but they tend to always be occupied by two people who insist in sitting in the very middle and not sharing with other patrons of the surrounding food carts.

Love love love when the man thing brings me food home from agelon. I don’t mine being woken up at 3 am with a hot cuban sandwich, or some of their rice and chicken.
The empanadas are good, add hot sauce (if your not scared) and its ahhhhmazing!
Need something to drink? Try one of the Latin coffees, oh my gawd mmmmm!
All in all a place I love to grab a bite both before and after a drink downtown, not to mention they are always so nice!
Perfect food truck dining :))

Kind service, went here to grab some churros. Awesome. If you go here, you need to purchase some churros with chocolate dipping sauce, and tip generously because the people in the truck are really nice. I can’t speak to the quality of their other food.

I went for lunch. They had several things on the menu that I thought looked good but they were not available for lunch. There was very little available for lunch so I got a couple empanadas and churros.
The empanadas were ok. The were nice and crispy on the outside and did not feel overly greasy. I was impressed right up until I bit inside. The inside tasted like simple taco meat like you would expect at Taco Cabana. Not bad, but not great either.
The churros were great… but I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad churro. My biggest complaint about the churro was they come in either packs of three or seven nearly foot long churros! I just want one. Feel free to charge me $ 2 for one instead of $ 4 for three.
The sauce that comes with the churro is okay. The dulce de leche was not dulce de leche. it was just runny caramel. The chocolate tasted like Hershey’s Syrup.

Ummm… no.
A Cuban sandwich is bread, ham, cheese, pickles and mustard. Let me get out my calculator, ok, here we go, carry the 2, divide by Pi, minus the remainder, let’s see… yep that’s only 5 ingredients, all of which Don Churro managed to screw up.
The meat and bread in particular get dis-​honorable mentions for being the greatest offenders. First up, the meat tasted like it came from some sort of generic brand lunchable that you might have gotten as a kid if you pissed off your mom that week. The bread was old, stale and tasteless and even my Maker’s Mark soaked brain had the sense to yell out «no more!» and to pass the remainder of the sandwich to Brian S. who was too hungry to care.
The only reason it gets two stars is because they do produce a decent namesake churro, but then again it could be because the ingredients are limited even further and the recipe calls for sticking them in a fryer. EIther way, if you accidentally stumble here after a night out, skip the dinner, go straight for dessert, and pray that you drank enough to not care but not too much that you’ll have to experience the food a second time.

Hunger.
Jason G., myself, and 2 others were expelled from Ten Oak by gnawing, personalized famine.
The only stipulation for hunger abatement was credit card acceptance as Jason G. had made it rain dolla dolla billz earlier in a fit of balla and now sported a light wallet.
Don Churro fit that bill: Square users. Kudos Don.
So the four of us purchased churros, cuban sandwiches, and the South Florida Chicken Sandwich.
Food arrived. Conversation truncated. Faces buried.
Minutes elapsed. Collectively coming up for air we exchanged glances and spoke in unison: «this is not good».
No. No it wasn’t. Undelicious bread (might we affix the stale label?), meat that can only be described as meatiocre (besides being skimpy), and condiment application that seemed confused: what does this sandwich want to BE?
Jason G. pushed his away.
2 stars for the ability to force mock oral sex on each other with giant, caramel-​dripping churros. My throat still hurts.
