Manzanita Grill is located in the Humm Kombucha parking lot and offers Southwest fusion.

FoodManzanita Grill food truck offers Southwestern fusion food. Located in the in the Humm Kombucha parking lot, the menu includes sandwiches, sliders, tacos and jalapeno poppers.

When I opened the bag my order was packaged in, I could tell it was put together with care — the fork and napkins were meticulously placed on top of the take-out box.

All three of the tacos I ordered were topped with the same green pico de gallo. Each one, wrapped in two corn tortillas, had a bit of a smoky flavor. On the side were three tiny containers of salsas; two green and one red, with a side of grilled onions underneath.

A shrimp lover at heart, I tested out Manzanita’s grilled shrimp taco.

The shrimp was juicy and cooked just right. The pollo asado taco was also spot on, too. It was made with large chunks of chicken, rather than shredded meat. Add some of the grilled onions and salsa to kick up the flavors a notch.

I had forgotten the al pastor taco came with grilled pineapple and wasn’t expecting the juicy burst of sweetness when I took a bite. Though I knew there was pineapple inside, I found the flavor combination a little strange.

Service

Owners Joaquin Ortiz and Jade Sellers take immense pride in their locally owned and operated food truck. Sellers was more than happy to list off her customers’ favorite orders and suggest modifications to make their offerings gluten-free, such as making a salad that wasn’t on the menu.

Atmosphere

Given the time of year, there was a layer of dust on top of Humm Kombucha’s outdoor picnic tables that left black marks on my white paper take-out box. I’d suggest either ordering to go or bringing dining inside Humm Kombucha’s taproom.
