The Red Awning

Today's Menu

Everything on here is made in the truck, that morning. The menu moves. If something's on it today it's because it was good at the market this morning, and if the thing you had last time is missing, that's why. Two notes. The birria is the one to get if you've not been before, and it runs out — usually by one. And the salsa on the table is the mild one on purpose; the hot one is on the counter and it is genuinely hot. Cash and cards both fine. — Elena
