El Encanto Food Truck

Got our lunch on the way back from Hawaii volcanic national park. We were greeted by peacocks, chicken, coffee farms, and rain. The food was good with vegetarian options.

We were so excited to find this food truck on our drive from Volcano to the South Kona coast. Living in California, we have no shortage of good Mexican/Central American food, and we rarely drive by a food truck without stopping. We ordered the carne asada burrito which was just as good as any we’ve had before — with a salsa that is definitely hot and flavorful. We also ordered the pupusas based on the recommendations in the reviews (2 bean/cheese and 1 spinach/cheese). Unfortunately, the burrito was done at least 5, if not 10, minutes before the pupusas. And, on their own, the pupusas were not as flavorful as we are used to. They come with a pickled cabbage/carrot salad in a small plastic ziplock bag, and that was missing something as well.

They were like eating a small stack of pancakes with a bean and cheese filling and came with a delicious vinaigrette coleslaw and a small cup of really spicy hot sauce. I loved the slaw, but the pupusas were rather bland. I realized that I should have paid extra for some sour cream, it definitely would have made them taste better. They have two rows of picnic tables under a tent that makes a comfortable place to eat. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back to try the sp
