El Churry

So I finally made it to El Churry. Three of us watched the Redskins win the NFC east title at Lupis and decided to celebrate with the one and only mixto. We ordered one each and devoured them with a quickness. From the juicy meats and crispy potato sticks to the sauce made from the tears of angels it was everything I hoped it would be.
Please note we have been looking to hit this spot for years. Well worth the wait!

Wow sandwich hit the spot. Like a good chimmy churry from uptown Manhattan late at night. It’s like sandwich crack.

This food truck is sort of famous on the island and has been featured on the Travel Channel. I do enjoy their sandwiches and the last couple that I’ve had were a lot better than my initial one, which I think that it must have had too much condiments or something like that. The latest sandwich that I had was filled with both chicken and steak or churrasco I should say.

Food: Churry Mixto — chicken and churrasco sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and thousand island-​ish sauce topped with potato sticks. The sandwich bread is sooo good; it’s warm, sweet, and fresh! ⁵⁄₅
Service: I almost always have to wait in line here but it’s worth it!
Final thoughts: Best late-​night, drunk food! This is my go-​to spot after a long night out. It really hits the spot.

The truck had good reviews and decided to try it. I had a mixto with cheese. The sandwich was tasty but a bit too mayonnaisy for my taste and not meaty enough. Good for a quick bite.

We saw this truck… and it had a line… I was there. I must say that while the food was fresh, it wasn’t fabulous. We had a sandwich with skirt steak I believe, it was «okay». On to the next one.

Wow. For a random food cart on a a busy Avenida in Puerto Rico, this place rules. It’s a giant food RV, really. It is parked in what looks to be an old parking lot that they laid claim to. They created about 5 cement table/​benches under umbrellas where you could eat or wait for your order to finish cooking. What I love about this food truck is that they keep it simple: 3 menu items on a nonexistant menu. Unless you’ve eaten here before, you don’t know what they serve so you have to ask one of the 2 operators, which I liked — it created conversation.
So El Churri makes delicious sandwiches. You can choose between chicken churrasco, beef churrasco or a mix of both. The sandwiches are about 8 inches long and incredibly thick (hell yeah, ladies!).
The fixings include cheese, bacon strips (and I’m talking about REAL bacon here. Thick and salty), lettuce, tomatoes, pickles (a PR staple in sammies) and your choice of mayo, ketchup or both. Oh, I almost forgot the best part — your sandwich comes STUFFED with freshly fried french fries. YUM!
One bite into my delectable sandwich and I was sold. My husband and I chose the mixed meat sammies and planned on saving them for later. Once we took our first bite we knew there was no turning back. My hubby finished his sandwich in about 3 minutes. The flavors were an incredible blend of crunch, salt and creamy cheese. We were so glad we stopped there on our way to the beach and I can’t wait to return to PR for another bite. Worth stopping for!

Watching an episode of Man vs Food Puerto Rico, I saw the guy go to El Churri truck and have the Tripleta. I can live off sandwiches so I made it a point to have one the next time I stepped foot on the island. After a long night of partying in and watching Dominican Republic win vs Venezuela we went to Isla Verde and decided to have a Tripleta. Soft, spongy bread filled with chicken, skirt steak, and potato chip sticks. It was a nice blend of flavors for the time of day which was 3am. Although the sandwich was good, it’s not the type of sandwich I would have at any time of the day. Maybe it’s not really that good but I’ll live in denial. I mean, everything taste good when you drunk.
