Chilaquil, a new food truck emblazoned with a pretty folk art-inspired pattern, serves up bowls of tortilla chips covered with spicy salsa, cheese, red onions, avocado, cilantro, and more toppings. Besides this addictive comfort food, the menu includes bolillo bread layered with black beans and Chihuahua cheese, along with snacks like jalapeño poppers and churros. Chilaquil offers catering for events and normally quotes catering prices based on the number of guests served.
