"A new food truck has arrived in our neighborhood, called El Encanto, but the vendor is Mina Tamales. I'm not sure if they're the same or if the truck is used by different vendors. They do have a Mina Tamales website for convenient pre-ordering, complete with realistic photos of the food, so you know exactly what to expect. We tried the carne asada platter, chicken sope, and chorizo tamale. Everything was incredibly flavorful and delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I went back for a second visit and got two more sopes—beef and chorizo—to save for lunch the next day. At $3.50 each, they're an excellent value with generous portions that are very filling. The carne asada comes with a choice of red or green sauces; if you prefer some heat, go for the green—it has just the right level of spiciness."
