When I was in Portland last month (I realize that any sentence that starts that way is generally a tedious look at how life is supposedly better there, but bear with me), I ended up eating at three or four places that had started out as food trucks, but had opened up physical locations as they built up a following.

Tucson’s food truck culture is obviously still a bit behind that of our bearded cousin to the northwest, but another truck (well, a trailer, but let’s not get picky) is launching a permanent spot, with Seis Curbside Kitchen following the path of Eat-a-Burger and Serial Grillers.

According to owners Erika and Jake Muñoz, Seis has signed a deal to move into a space at Mercado San Agustin, hopefully by March. The menu will feature the same takeaway takes on regional Mexican cuisine, but adding breakfast options and “some fun additions.”

We’ll keep you updated on when the Mercado location is ready to open.

  3. Who says Tucson’s food truck culture is behind Portland? I don’t think that’s necessarily an accurate statement. But, in any event, hooray for SEIS!

  4. Moveable: Is that a matter of debate? Just on volume alone and that there are multiple food truck courts around Portland, I think they have the title in the bag. I love our trucks and the culture is expanding here, but we’re still going to be trailing behind for awhile.

  5. That’s great news for us westsiders and the Mercado. I really like Seis’s pibil tacos – slow roasted pulled pork simmered in an achiote, citrus marinade, de Yucatan peninsula.

    I guess Seis and El Pueblito, the existing Mexican cuisine at the Mercado, have different enough menus to allow the two to co-exist though I’m not sure.

    In a couple of square miles the westside has arguably the best Mexican food in Tucson with Valle del Yaqui (birria de cabrito), La Fresita (homemade corn tortillas), Taco Giro (carne en su jugo), Mi Ranchito (cocido), St. Mary’s (homemade flour tortillas), Las Cuatas, Mariscos de Chihuahua and the families that put “food sale” flyers up when they need to raise a little money and the ladies that walk around with fresh hot tamales, etc. etc. etc.

    Competition is fierce. How about some other ethnic food like vietnamese pho or korean bbq or pad thai for the Mercado or environs?

  6. We’ve eaten at their food truck parked outside of Dragoon Brewing Co the last two Thursdays. Wow, is this great food !!!!!
