Buenos Aires Food Trucks - Wrong Number!

Street food in Buenos Aires is not uncommon, for years comidas caseros ( home cooked) have been solld warm and direct from the basket on the streets. Until recently, small caravans lined the coastanera both North and South selling sandwiches, and as mentioned in a previous post Reuben was amongst the first to make good use of the virtually unattended coastline, serving up food 24/7 to the taxistas and camioneros as well as those last night party goers and tangueros in the know.  So with only 85pesos in your pocket, you can eatone of the best damn bondiola sandwiches in the city, complete with ham, egg, salads and a soft drink or water.
Springtime is the best season in Buenos Aires, more sun, more fun, more flesh. Lots of outdoor events all of which have the ever-present food trucks selling their yummy tasty wares, but BEWARE.
 Last weekend we visited the Hipodromo (horse race track) and from 6pm more than a dozen food and craft beer trucks opened for a quick bit of business. One of the nicest exleriences was the icecream laboratory GuiLab, in the style of molecular cooking, icecream is treated to a nitrogen bath becore serving, resulting in what was for me the best icecream ever.

Bang for your buck is what that icecream is! Unfortunately they only do events. The food trucks however seem to prey on the stupid rich. Admittedly tasty (although not necessarily tastier than the coast options), food trucks charge around 33% more for less food. Some have a looong way to go with regards customer service and satisfaction, but service is a different concept here yet.
 Enough griping and I will finish by saying that for the ARP700 pesos we spent, we left still in need of buying dinner. For me, these companies need a slap or to try harder.
