The word on Emotion
Here's the word going around
I haven't eaten off El's truck yet, so this is the diners' word, not mine.

By most accounts El is the heart of this operation, a man cooking with his whole self and grinning while he does it, whipping up a gyro bowl and still finding a minute to chat like you've known each other for years. Reviewers admit walking up skeptical, the way you get skeptical of a food truck buried in five-star reviews, then eating: chicken shawarma fresh and loud with flavor, a rice bowl gyro that's a serious plate of food, and a white sauce people say they think about later. Portions read generous, service fast, and El runs it all with a smile that makes people want to come back just to say hi. There's breakfast on the menu, plus a cheeseburger and fries that hold their own. The recurring verdict: the immigrant-kitchen-on-wheels dream done right.
A white sauce strangers say they think about later? I plan to give it something to haunt.
The Order
Reviewers point to the chicken shawarma and the rice bowl gyro, drowned in that white sauce, with breakfast saved for next time.
That's the word on this one.
