What is a cuisine that you really like and a cuisine that you miss?

I love most types of food except for like...British food. And whatever the fuck Scandinavia has going on.

I really miss living in the city and having quick access to Japanese and Mexican food. Then when I visited my friend last year we had Salvadorian food.

you cannot pass up the opportunity to try salvadorian cuisine on your honeymoon, even if dante ended up picking at it instead of eating because, apparently, his palate cannot handle it.

Why is this man so obsessed with Dunkin. Sir I admire the commitment but there are much better donut shops. I know for a fact you bought a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Go to LA. Find a donut store. If there isn’t a Buddha statue and the menu isn’t in another language then leave. If they’re selling ice cream or boba or Asian cuisine in addition to donuts, you’ve found a Good Donut ShopTM.

Buy your donuts. Go home. Take joy in the fact that you probably saved money in addition to eating much tastier donuts. Revel in the deliciousness that is donuts.

(Gonna be real with you I don’t know why but Asian people who don’t really speak English just make amazing donuts for some reason and that is one of my greatest regrets moving to ethnically white Utah. A lot of the cultural cuisines just aren’t as good because either a) they’re white-washed versions of delicious food, or b) there’s significantly less competition when there’s only two authentic Mexican/Vietnamese/Indian/Thai/Salvadorian restaurants in the entire city+surrounding area, so the taste, while still good, isn’t the knock-your-socks-off amazing that you get in much larger cities with more diverse populations.)

Ben making a new Dunkin commercial. Is another pop act going to be in it? When’s Matt going to be in one of these?

La Qchara Vs La Cabaña: A Battle of Latin American Cuisine

In the fast paced food truck environment in Melrose, Massachusetts, two Latin American food trucks stand out: La Qchara and La Cabaña. While both offer authentic tastes and experiences, they both have their curved authentic niche from different parts of South America. La Qchara derives from traditional homemade recipes from Central and South America with a large online presence, while La Cabaña specializes in Mexican and Salvadorian dishes, as a smaller, family-owned business. Here is how these food trucks compare in food, marketing, service, all while both should have a prioritized spot on your next food truck experience.

A Culinary Showdown

La Qchara is a blend of Central and South American specialities with a twist of modern tradition. For instance, their famous gluten free arepas, home-made with stuffed corn-meal cakes filled with an abundance of freshly prepared ingredients: Venezuelan seasoned shredded beef, cilantro lime shredded chicken, chorizo, queso, sesame dressing, and much more. These Arepas range from $7-$15 dollars depending on filling. These cuisines are appealing to foodies who wish for hearty, bold and innovative flavors. As someone who is always looking for an allergen friendly restaurant, I tried Reina Pepiada Arepa which is served with cilantro lime avocado chicken, with a house salad topped with homemade sesame dressing. This cuisine comes in at $12.95 which is reasonably priced for the large portions you receive. This fluffy, rich cuisine fulfilled a craving I didn’t know I had. This cuisine and many of their other menu items are perfect for people with allergies who worry about being given an unsafe item. La Qchara has homemade coffee, smoothies, raw juices, teas and refreshing traditional Mexican drinks, desserts like churros, pie, lemon bread, and many more. Every dish at La Qchara seems to embrace a unique balance of traditional ingredients with a fresh twist, catering to those who enjoy Latin flavors but with a gourmet touch.

In contrast, La Cabaña shares authentic Salvadorian street tacos, quesadillas, bowls, and even houses American traditional cuisines such as wings and burgers. There is a rich, comforting feel to the menu due to the array of traditional items from different parts of the world. La Cabaña shares some allergen friendly ingredients as many of their tortillas, pupusas, and sauces are gluten and dairy free. They take accommodations, but are not able to honor all dietary and other requests. I tried the Carne Asada Plate starting at $20 which holds a refreshingly simple, yet flavorful skirt steak with cheese, beans, guacamole, and scallions. As this is a more pricey item, there are additional items that are more budget friendly if you are looking for quick, tasteful, and authentic meals. If you are looking for a quick, cheaper option they have their homemade tacos starting at $5 dollars each offering ingredients like grilled steak, chicken, guacamole, and a choice of your own spice. If you are looking for a more hearty American cuisine they offer their famous “Big Al” which is made with lettuce, tomato, cheese, pineapple, raw onions, jalapenos, sausage, and even ham. Lastly, to fully embark the true home style feels, there is a family taco option which comes in at $55 for 12 tacos of any meat of your choice, where you can order different meats to fulfill the full 12 tacos. La Cabaña’s approach to flavor is straightforward and soulful, staying close to traditional recipes. It’s evident that their goal is to preserve and celebrate the classics, and for those craving Mexican or Salvadorian comfort food, La Cabaña hits the mark every time.

Scenic Experience

La Qchara’s atmosphere is as bold as its menu. The truck is enhanced through their old wooden grained spoon graphic stemming from the meaning of their truck which in spanish “La Qchara” means “Large serving spoon” which stays true to the truck's values of hearty, authentic meals. On the side of the bright, fire truck red mobile vehicle is “La Qchara” written in an old Latin American font. Underneath the large text is written “El Nuevo Latino” referring to a modern twist on traditional latin cuisine and identity.

All age groups are drawn by the truck’s popular Instagram and website, lingering around snapping photos and chatting. The double ordering windows surrounded with beautiful stainless steel and welcoming faces creates La Qchara’s key identity. The truck’s sleek, modern feel, combined with its active social media presence, makes La Qchara a favorite for those who seek a lively, contemporary dining experience. La Qchara is filled with a welcoming online presence with the owners, employees, and customers interacting online through TikTok, fun videos, trends, and glamourize visual presentation of eating their amazing cuisines.

When walking up to the food truck you will be greeted by a friendly, outgoing employee who is fully prepared to educate you on each menu item. If you are lucky enough to be visiting at the same time as owners Emily and Lorenzo Tenreiro who will gladly speak about their story and values around their business.

La Qchara’s food truck offers catering services for your individual needs. Not only is the truck available for private booking, but you can also find them at popular outdoor venues and events located in Salem, Beverly, and Melrose Massachusetts.

La Cabaña, meanwhile, is a small, more private scene located in the heart of Melrose, Massachusetts. The setup feels more intimate and welcoming from all aspects due to their graphics on the truck housing many traditional cuisines from worldwide. The logo is a small cottage style house with “La Cabaña” written in an old style cursive as if your grandparents had written you a letter and signed it in their handwriting. The graphics of the truck encase a coffee brown color which is weaved through wooden panels with a clay tile roof in a mimic of a cottage home.

It’s a quieter experience than La Qchara, providing an ideal space for anyone who prefers a laid-back meal with friends or family. The translation of their name means “At the Cottage” which is engulfed in the ambiance, and feels like an extension of its close-knit, family-run nature, offering customers a taste of home.

You can find this warm welcoming food truck stationed in Melrose with the hours of 11am-6pm Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesday through Saturday 11am-8pm. They also do local public events in Melrose Ma, and can be booked for private events as well.

La Qchara and La Cabaña both embrace their own traditional Latin American cuisines in very different styles. Each is a great option if you are looking for a quality meal served from loving and welcoming staff.

This is a good point. But my take on Jill and Derick both has always been that they are kind of flighty- they try something for a while, they get bored, and move on. We saw Jill try Nepali cuisine once or twice. I do think Jill is capable of finding new things interesting, but seems to have trouble sticking to it. Like, a blog with some Nepali recipes, some El Salvadorian recipes, some Duggar favorites? Great! But she always seems to fall back into her usual comfort zone after a bit. - Mary

Who Are Today’s Migrants

For my fieldwork, I chose an immigrant from El Salvador. He is an international migrant, a refugee, and the father of one of my close friends. Due to my connection with their daughter he was more than willing to share his story with me. He was born and raised in El Salvador during the civil war. He was not drafted, nor did he partake in the war, however some of his siblings did. The second youngest out of four, he saw his mother worry over his siblings safety, and his. El Salvador’s civil war officially ended January 16,1992, but the end of the war did not end the violence citizens faced. The civil war left a militarized society unable to earn enough money for a fair life. As a result, many people chose illegal methods of making money through gangs. As gang violence worsened and unable to make liveable wages many citizens began to migrate, including his family. He was forced to watch as his siblings left yet again, this time for the US. He explained that his loved ones including his mother, friends, and girlfriend pulled him to stay. Wanting to keep them safe in a hostile country, but he also wanted to help and be with his siblings. Eventually he too was sent to the US. The plan was to send money back home, and eventually bring the rest of his loved ones over, continuing their family’s chain migration. His acclimation to the US went smoother than his siblings because so many of them were already there. Being one of the last relatives to be sent over, it felt like a new home almost immediately. Eventually, meeting his wife here in the US, another migrant from EL Salvador. Currently he and family are now in the US. Actively participating in family functions several times a year as they are all together again. They all live 20 to 30 minutes away from each other and love to cook, sing, and dance together. He says migrating was one of the best things that could have happened to his family. He is so grateful that his daughter does not have to grow up in the same gang filled environment as him. With that being said he and his family make sure to keep family and cultural traditions alive teaching all of their children Spanish, having quinceaneras, and teaching them how to cook traditional El Salvadorian cuisine.
