NEW OC GFT: Porko Rico BBQ
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!)
Current Menu
- Pilager Pulled Pork- Classic BBQ staple, our with Mango Coleslaw and our signature Citrus BBQ sauce.
- Black Beard’s Brisket- 16 hour smoked Brisket with our trio pepper onion medley that is caramelized in Captain Morgan Rum, served with our mango gold sauce.
- Cutlass Supreme- Smoked Chicken Sausage, Grilled pineapple, Spicy Jerk BBQ sauce, and fresh green onion (Luis’ favorite!)
- Shipwreck Grilled Cheese- Brisket, Coconut pesto, fire roasted tomato, munster and mozzarella cheese, on thick cut egg bread.
Sides

Dessert

Due to lack of space and the ever changing process of food trucks some items may be missing certain days but we are working hard to make these and a ton more items amazing.

The cash donations will provide 9,761 meals to families in need.

“We are grateful to the community and the Great Park for their enthusiastic support of Second Harvest Food Bank,” said Nicole Suydam, CEO, Second Harvest Food Bank. “The food that’s donated will feed hungry families this holiday season and help us end hunger in Orange County.”

2013 Food Truck Blog of the Year Contest
Mobile Cuisine is an online trade magazine that covers the mobile food industry; we cover the industry as a whole and have strayed away from covering one specific region of the country.
With that said, there are numerous blogs across the country that cover specific cities and regions where food trucks operate. From New York to Miami and Toronto to Dallas there are bloggers that cover the gamut of mobile food businesses. This poll has been set up to find out which local mobile food blog is the favorite in North America.
Last year, our winner was Alex Levine’s Food Truck Freak out of Chicago. Can she retain her title or will another blogger be able to take the title from her?
To find out, we have listed the Top 17 local food truck blogs. Your job is to vote for your favorite.
This poll will run through Friday, November 8th (11:59 PM Central Time). Once the votes have been tabulated, the winner will be announced. The winner will be able to claim the title of Favorite Local Mobile Food Truck Blog as well as have the chance to be part of a feature story here at Mobile Cuisine that delves into the individuals who run these blogs and why they write what they do.
So help us spread the word for your favorites.
