According to this post in the Carpe Durham forums (which more people should use!), there is a new Indian food truck parking outside Sam’s.
Anyone have more info?

Did you know there’s a pie CSA (well CSP – Community Support Pie) in Durham?
Scratch bakery sets up at the Durham farmers market on Saturdays and in addition to selling a variety of pies and baked goods, they run a pie CSP.

To join, it’s $65 for four happy weeks of pies. You get to choose between three small pies or one large and whether you want sweet or savory. You pick up your pies at the farmer’s market on Saturdays.
If a $65/month pie habit is too rich for your …

 
 
Based out of Chatham County, Liberación Juice makes the journey to Durham on Saturday mornings and sets up at the farmers’ market next to the Scrap Exchange. The bright green bus, run by Zulayka Santiago, blares cheerful music, encourages hula hooping and offers up tasty, organic smoothies. 
In addition to their nutrient-packed smoothies, Liberación Juice serves fresh-pressed juices, teas and a warm hot chocolate drink for the cooler months.  
 
We tried the green liberation (a kale, banana, ginger concoction) and the luscious monkey (bananas, peanut butter and almond milk). Both were …

William’s Gourmet Kitchen is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch right where Highways 54 and 55 intersect.

Its atmosphere is definitely that of a fast food restaurant but one that is very clean, welcoming, and decorated with fun artwork on the walls (presently Big World Photography by Lorri Honeycutt). Free wifi is available, which is always a plus.

Sandwiches, salads, burgers, or soup are available à la carte or you can add on a side of sweet potato fries, regular potato fries, chips, potato salad or pasta salad. I’m …

A new Mexican restaurant, El Rancherito, has just opened up in the Lakewood neighborhood (2300 Chapel Hill Rd)‎. Grayson’s Cafe left this location, but their other locations (3600 N. Duke St. and 433 Murray Ave.) remain open, I assume. Sadly, I never had the chance to eat there, but YAR liked it quite a bit. It’s too early to say whether the trade of this Americanized-Mexican place for the former breakfast diner/cafe will be for the better. There’s no shortage of either menu in Durham.
El Rancherito had only been open …

If you’ve ever read this blog before, you know we’re kinda enamored with taco trucks, and especially with one in particular: Benito’s (aka the Sabor Latino truck).  A couple of months ago he left his old spot in North Durham and recently found a new home closer to downtown: near the corner of N. Roxboro and Avondale (across from Los Comales, next to a billiards place).  He’s there on Thursday through Sunday nights, from about 9pm to 3am.  Everything I’ve eaten from his truck (which is quite a lot) has …

Is it just me or is the thrill of happening upon an unexpected taco truck you’ve never been to, especially when you’re hungry, one of the sweetest feelings there is?  You can imagine my excitement when, while wondering what to do for dinner at 11pm on a Sunday, I drove by Rico’s Tacos (outside Ray’s Billiards, at 3205 University Dr).
We got Birria de Borrego (lamb), asada, and al pastor.

All three were tasty, as were the salsas.  I especially liked the birria de borrego, which I’d never had before and I …

Coleman’s (later known as Thompson’s) used to be a free-standing restaurant that was a favorite of ours.  The owner, a really friendly guy, has now leased that space out and operates out of this trailer, which parks at the intersection of Riddle Rd and Hwy 55, Wednesday through Saturday.  
The mobile version of Coleman’s has a much-reduced menu but the quality has not gone down at all.  When we went by, they were offering fish, chicken, and pork chops (all fried).  I’m not sure if the selection changes from day to …

You might have thought (hoped?) that we were done with tacos for a while.  But no, somehow we are not sick of them.
There’s a new truck parked outside of the Sabor Latino club (4527 N. Roxboro Rd)–now it’s Taqueria Lopez truck #3. (Are there really 3 of them?)

This truck offered quite a few meat options in their tacos, including some of the ones you don’t always see.  We got four: carnitas, al pastor, asada, and campechano (which is chorizo and suadero (brisket)). They got them all out to us disconcertingly …

… with its own truck parked right outside their restaurant (which appears to have been converted into more of a nightlife spot) at 3316 Guess Rd.  I didn’t get a good look, so I definitely might be wrong, but it seems like it has expanded into the space formerly occupied by Bull City Bakery.

The truck only had tacos when I went, but the menu says they will have pupusas and some other treats.  As far as I know, this will be the only place to get pupusas from a truck in …
