Most weeks, our best of segment is always on the road. But this week the fun comes to us right outside our studio. Yeah, it's usually done by Tony Caputo. But today we're having it done by News 12 New Jersey's Isabel Liter outside with Yes, hi guys. We're here outside. I'm here with burritos, the burritos and they're here to show me some of the food that they've got going on here today. What are some of these yummy treats we've got. So we made a couple of burritos tacos quesadilla for you. This is a big fella, a beef, bro, some churros, a chicken quesadilla, a beef quesadilla and just in a range of tacos, beef chicken and vegetarian vegan option being our sweet pepper taco. Awesome. And now John, tell me a bit about your business. What, when did you guys start? And what, what are some of the things you guys offer? So we started in 2016. We started off with one truck. Uh we built it out ourselves, got that running for three years and then uh we got our second truck and then we got our brick and mortar, but we got that literally right before the pandemic. So I kind of slow this down, but we offer a lot of catering opportunities that you will come to your house, your uh establishment, bring the truck, serve your guests. So it's less of a headache for that client. You don't have to clean anything and it just helps, it just helps overall and then we offer other options as well, other fun options. Um That's not here in front of us, but yeah, we do it. So we don't have a brick and mortar right now. But you guys are on the road constantly that out, Tony, Tony, we talked about this tacos are for later. Obviously, this food is uh difficult to keep our hands off of. Um What are some of your favorites? What do you, what do you guys like the most? So my favorite is the uh beef, uh beef burrito. Uh The beef is very, has a lot of flavor and by itself, it's very well. It goes very well, but the big fella would be my second out of this, out of these options right now. Awesome. How about you, Marcus? I like the big fella and then the, I like the chicken. So we're like the opposite. Yeah. And I tried some earlier and it was so delicious. I wanna thank you guys for coming out here today and sharing all of your awesome food with us and you know, if people want to come and and call you guys to have them at your have you at their events. They can uh contact you, contact us through our social media at B Rios FT. Uh The better way to contact us is that uh through our email Broos food truck at gmail dot com or you can call the number and I do not know the number that is ok. All right, thanks guys. Thank you. Nobody calls anybody anymore. It's ok. Yeah, but there's gonna be a lot of interest obviously because of that food. So people are gonna certainly, uh, want to get a taste. The food looks good and the name is pretty cool. I like that.
