Today we’d like to introduce you to Hector Lopez.
Hi Hector, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was working at a Mexican food restaurant. Always I love cooking. We saw the food trucks business was rising and when the restaurant shut down the business, my wife and I decided to start our food truck: EL NENE SAMMY, Mexican food with an Argentine twist.
The food is Authentic Mexican, with our own sauce and our select and fine seasoning. We incorporate the Chimichurri sauce, the most popular sauce in Argentina. We keep the original recipe. Also, the food is flavorful and for the whole family.
We start in 2017, five years ago.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
The challenge was to introduce our food to the public. We followed a friend’s suggestion: “Make people try your food”. When we did that, we started doing business.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about FOOD TRUCK EL NENE SAMMY?
We own a food truck EL NENE SAMMY. I’m the cook. I’m in charge of cooking the meats, making Pico de gallo, one of our sauces, driving the food truck, etc. My wife is in charge of cooking the rice and making the Chimichurri sauce. She also is the cashier. We are proud of our winning award: Argentinian Chimichurri Taco.
We won the award: The best creative taco in Utah in 2018. We are proud about how the Chimichurri sauce became the favorite sauce for everyone who loves our food. We want your readers to know that when they visit our food truck, they will receive the best treatment and the best customer service. We’ll be treating them like family.
We consider our customers our friends.
What are your plans for the future?
For now, we are focusing continue doing what we love. Sometimes we talk about opening a restaurant (brick and mortar), but not in the near future. Must wait for now. Not big changes for now.
