50 Pesos Kitchen & Food Truck

9.5$$·635 reviews

50 Pesos won Food Truck Face-Off before it had a storefront. The truck became a compact Harvester Road counter in Uptown Burlington a few years later, and the taco that did the winning — Boca Chicken — still leads the menu: local antibiotic-free chicken slow-cooked with citrus and spice, then stacked with cilantro-lime crema, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cabbage. The kitchen has stayed counter-service since the 2015 launch. The truck still books out on the same calendar as the storefront, and the brand still presents itself as both a taco joint and a food truck rather than picking one.

Past Boca Chicken, the taco list does the work. Pineapple Pimpin' Fish Tacos run sriracha-battered cod under pineapple salsa, guacamole, chipotle crema, and cabbage — the cleanest sweet-heat fish taco on the board. Freak Nasty Fish Tacos hold the same cod-and-batter base in a louder, sauce-forward direction. G-Funk Black Bean Tacos take the vegetarian path seriously: black bean spread, mango salsa, guacamole, cabbage, and a cashew-based crema option that doesn't read as a tacked-on swap. Kamikaze Chicken and Tiger Uppercut Tacos sit in the spicier lane. Past the taco column, Peso Poutine — Mexi Street Fries lays chipotle queso, cilantro-lime crema, guacamole, and pico de gallo over fresh fries, and Bangin' Birria Quesadillas bring slow-cooked beef, mozzarella, and a side of consomme into a richer, group-friendly middle for the table to share.

Why It’s on the Map

Three things this kitchen does the rest don’t

  1. 01

    Food-Truck Origin, Storefront Focus

    The Food Truck Face-Off origin gives 50 Pesos a real starting story, while the Harvester Road storefront keeps the experience compact, quick, and taco-led.

  2. 02

    Scratch-Made Taco Counter

    The strongest evidence is concrete prep: mango salsa, guacamole, pickled onions, pickled jalapenos, hot sauce, black bean spread, and crema choices show up directly in the menu and local feature.

  3. 03

    Flexible Casual Ordering

    Fish tacos, chicken tacos, black-bean paths, birria quesadillas, loaded fries, churros, and take-home sauces make the menu useful for quick lunches, family pickups, and small group orders.
