The first time I ate lunch on Temple’s campus, I visited this truck and ordered the pork with salsa verde and an order of chips & guacamole. I remember the chips were a bit stale and hard, so I just put the guacamole on my tacos. Delicious! However, a bit pricey at around $10 for 2 tacos and guac and a drink, compared to other trucks nearby. Most trucks on campus are closer to $5 and a lot of them give a free can of soda with a $5 purchase.

I have extremely limited knowledge of Korean food, I have only tried Bibimbap, lettuce wraps, and bulgogi. As I got into the line, I planned on getting the bulgogi, but everyone in line before me was ordering the Chicken BBQ or Pork BBQ, so I decided I should try it too.

Here’s where I remind you that I am a spice wuss. Only recently have I tried to delve into the world of chiles. I have stepped up from ordering everything mild to now ordering everything medium, so I’m getting there. When I ordered the Chicken BBQ, I was not expecting chicken marinated and cooked in a sauce of red chiles. Guess I should have done some research first.

calle del sabor

Curry shrimp taco and al pastor tacos with fresh pineapple salsa

I sampled Calle del Sabor tacos at the Manayunk StrEAT food truck festival in September 2015. Spanish for “street flavor,” Calle del Sabor opened their truck in 2012. They have a varied menu with flavors such as Korean pork tacos, curry shrimp, beef brisket, and Baja fish tacos. Rotating specials are often available.

The items I chose were a la carte, so I chose 2 al pastor tacos and one curry shrimp. The shrimp was big and juicy, and bursting with spicy curry. You might be wondering why most of the third taco in the photo is gone. It’s because I was really hungry and I ate most of the shrimp taco before I could take a photo. It was my favorite taco of the two that I tried, and al pastor is usually my favorite.

Lemongrass Pork and Rice Platter

Full disclosure here: I hadn’t planned on starting a blog when I took the photos you will see in my first post, so I apologize for the quality. They were quick snaps I had planned to use as a reference for future orders, and then I got the idea to start this blog.

Simply Yummy

Location: Parked near Broad and Montgomery Streets

Phone number: 267-225-8624, to call in or text orders

Pay: Cash only

Cuisine: Asian, American, Breakfast, and Vegetarian selections

What I tried: Lemongrass Pork and Rice Platter

Delivery: This truck uses Habitat for their food delivery service.

On this day I was craving some Asian food and the lemongrass pork platter caught my eye as I was making my rounds past the many food trucks at Temple University. It is priced well at $5.50 and includes lettuce and tomato, rice, lots of marinated and grilled pork, and an over-medium fried egg. Judging by the menu items I am assuming this leans more towards Vietnamese food.
