5411 Empanadas and the Food Truck Fest

Bowl with brisket - a delight from La Cocinta

Friday's outing was just a few steps out into cold to the La Cocinta truck for their "bowl" with rice, beans and brisket.   The previous visit to La Cocinta was in more pleasant weather, Sept. 2016 (Link)

That's snow on the ground, and a howling, cold wind

Box of deliciousness - Bruges Brothers

It had been since November - a long time to wait for the Brothers' fare.
