La Minerva Food Truck lives up to its lofty praise

Martha Llamas and her husband, Jose Gonzalez, own La Minerva Food Truck. The truck has been serving food at 7610 N. Union Blvd. for about three years.

We’d noticed the truck in the past, but it wasn’t until food-lover friend Stacy Valdez couldn’t stop raving about the quesabirria tacos that I finally pulled over to have a taste.

“Braden (her son) loves the Loco breakfast burritos. They use fried tater tots in the burritos. They’re so good,” Valdez gushed. “But the quesabirria taco is my go-to for lunch. They make their own chorizo. It’s not as oily as some I’ve had. I’ve also heard the Cochi-Torta is good.”

Valdez was right. The quesabirria taco ($4), served with a rich, beefy consommé for dipping, was outstanding. The broth, dotted with fresh diced onions, elevated every bite.

The Loco breakfast burrito ($6.95) was packed with eggs, bacon, tater tots and green chile, a hearty roll of goodness.

The Cochi-Torta ($8.99) featured a generous layer of house-made spicy chorizo topped with shredded lettuce, pickled onions and jalapeños on a sturdy, chewy bun.

“It’s our No. 1 seller,” Llamas said.

La Minerva is open 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday through Tuesday and is closed Wednesdays during the summer. Details: 719-715-9808, tinyurl.com/5kw3xsp7.
