Charleston Edition: Frescos Food Truck

By Candace Nelson - 9:03 PM

Frescos Food Truck just reopened for the season in the Kanawha City Piggly Wiggly parking lot. The Mexican/Tex-Mex food truck features a broad menu, including burritos, bowls, quesadillas, nachos, tacos and loaded waffle fries. First up: A Mangonada. It's a cold Mexican drink made with mango, layered with chamoy, and topped with Tajín. And, it's one of my all-time favorite drinks since first experiencing it in Arizona. For my entree, I had a steak quesadilla, which was a 14" tortilla filled with cheese, veggies, and topped with lettuce, pico and sour cream. It delivered what you’d expect, without anything particularly memorable but nothing bad, either. A small queso and chips complemented my quesadilla. The queso is warm and velvety and creamy. Paired with salty chips, it made for a good bite. Elote is Mexican street corn -- grilled corn on the cob coated in mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime, creating a mix of smoky, creamy and tangy flavors. This version was coated in Cool Ranch Doritos. YES. For dessert, we had tres leches. Tres leches is a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk -- evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. It was soft and very moist, with a lightly sweet, milky flavor, and topped with whipped cream. Grade: B
