NEW OC GFT: Porko Rico BBQ

Leave a comment

Porko Rico BBQ is brought you by Luis Flores, the creator of The Viking Truck (@TheVikingtruck), one of OC’s wacky food truck establishments.

Luis comes from a puerto rican and danish background, which explains the first truck: the Viking Truck. Now Luis wants to try to bring some Caribbean flavors to OC in a non intrusive way, so he decided on BBQ, with three signature sauces made from scratch. The first is the Citrus BBQ sauce, a very classic sauce with a lemon lime twist. The second is a mango gold sauce, fruity and tangy and a little chunky almost like a chutney. Finally, the Jerk BBQ sauce is sweet and spicy with fresh habanero (just a little). Luis’ goal is to expand his small, but tasty menu, to rice bowls, as puerto rican rice and beans is a staple of the island cuisine.

Below is their current menu that is getting a lot of love and great feedback (photos to follow soon!)

  • Pilager Pulled Pork- Classic BBQ staple, our with Mango Coleslaw and our signature Citrus BBQ sauce.
