.A spring pea in my garden. I grow as much produce and edible garnish as I can that I then use in the food truck and for catering.

Owner Simone Jaramillo created her food truck business as a reflection of her respect and love of food. She was raised in rural northern New Mexico in a family where her father taught her how to grow food as soon as she could walk and where her mother made three meals a day from scratch, often using ingredients from the family garden or local meat from their deep freeze in the shed. “My childhood kitchen was always a happening space in the home, freshly baked goods on the counter, simmering pots on the stove, a pantry full of preserved jellies, canned peaches. When I imagine the kitchen of my childhood, warm light, delicious smells and bright colors come to mind. Feeding people was what I grew up knowing how to do. It has always been one of my love languages.” The ritual of growing food, cooking, gathering people, and feeding them brings her joy. Simone’s independent spirit, creativity and artistic background made the entrepreneurial dream of her food truck business a natural evolution as she believes in her vocation being an embodiment of her heart’s expression. Her emphasis of valuing sustainability, human connection, local agriculture and community is at the heart of what her business is made of and she is excited to continue leaning deeper into these values as she continues to grow her business.

“This might be the best food we've had at a food truck since living in Asheville (15 years). Heck, just the best food . . . period. The quinoa tortillas are just fantastic and the fillings taste like something your body wants you to eat. Looking forward to our next visit.

What People Are Saying

“Incredible food with the most respect and thought put into sourcing local and ethical, healthy foods that I have ever seen in Asheville! Garden fresh produce and local meat from WNC, plus they also use healthier oils and grains. I had the Tres Amigos and the homemade tortillas were fantastic. Definitely recommend and will be coming back to eat here whenever I get the chance!”

“Excellent food! Coleman and Simone have a great aptitude for quality food. They serve gluten free dishes but their food is excellent and full flavor from quality fresh ingredients to the amazing quinoa tortillas to the edible garnish! Try "the garden" or the "tres amigos.”

“Amazing food made with so much love! I have had everything on the menu and it is all delicious. They have three consistent main entrees, a daily special, and a tasty crepe dessert. I can't get enough and always end up eating way too much food,
but their ingredients are so fresh and nutritious.”
