I'm not really into food trucks to be honest, but on the rare San Francisco occasion when the weather is gorgeous outside with minimal wind chill, I succumb to the hype. On this particular afternoon, I ventured out to the Presidio for the Picnic at the Presidio event. It was really difficult to get to this location from where I live and I waited over an hour for the Golden Gate Tour Bus, which literally dropped me off at the Golden Gate Toll Booth.
There were a lot of people, mostly families with kids, and it was great to have an open grassy field to set blankets out on and eat delicious foods. There were farmers market vendors, a bar, music, and about a dozen food trucks with the longest line for Del Popolo. As for me, I went for Nopalito.
I decided to get the Gordita de Campechana, which is chorizo and beef brisket inside a corn flour tortilla pocket. It reminded me of a tamale slash empanada slash sopes. It was way spicier than I had anticipated but so so good. The meat was super tender and flavorful. To counter the spiciness of the dish, I got a scoop of Secret Breakfast (bourbon and Cornflakes) from Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream. Yum. The end.
