    There’s a 3rd food truck at the Highland Park pod (11th and Holden)! Charlie’s Buns.

    I had the lumpia last week – yummy, affordable (lumpia ala carte are $1.75 and the vendors are lovely peeps!

    Check ’em out on your way to the dump or Southcenter or picking up sandbags or wherever your Saturday is taking you.
    Please, support this food pod so more trucks come join in. These are the ONLY eateries in Highland Park and we need them!!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
