Sushi-Kito

Thank goodness for ample signage. I was driving down the road when I saw «sushi» on the banner.
Now, this is the southside. Those of us who live down this way are highly accustomed to having ample access to tacos and chimis and burritos and tostadas and the famous Sonoran hotdog.
Ugh, just how many molcajetes do you need in one week?
The day we find an Indian, Caribbean, East African or *good* Vietnamese food spot on this side of town — I will purposefully eat out every single day of the week… for a month!
OK, no. No, I won’t. But I will likely eat out more often.
So, seeing the Sushi-​Kito sign made me make a haphazard U-​turn in 10 seconds flat.
I’m glad I stopped in.
The proprietor tells me that this food truck is brand new. Apparently, they only been in business this month. And it looks like they will stay in this location for who knows how long. That’s cool, especially since we only have one decent sushi restaurant on the southside — that would be Sushi Lounge just up the road.
Kito specializes in a fusion — it is northern Mexican style food meets Japanese street food. At least that’s my best guess.
They even have yakimeshi — a Japanese style fried rice.
For my first order, I went with the Kito specialty burger. I do not know why it’s called a burger when it is, quite frankly, a glorified California roll top with all sorts of delicious flavor accompaniments.
Seriously, for eight bucks I had a meal for two. And it was pretty good.
It’s the type of food that excites the overly curious palette. I found that eating my single dish, the flavors kept changing. It was like a buffet in a single sushi roll. It was spicy, it was soft and smooth, it was crunchy and sweet. Night even tasted something that reminded me of fried mozzarella.
And this humongous roll, stacked skyhigh with shrimp and other glorious goodness, came with a shaving of carrots and a side of a nice, fresh crab salad. Absolutely perfect for the summer months!
The only downside is that I could tell where that the tent in menu are in bright red and so the menu was very difficult to read. Also, the rice was a bit bland. It’s certainly not sushi rice. It seems like it’s your standard long grain rice.
But, not bad for first visit. I’ll be giving them another go and highly recommend that you do so as well.
