How Las Vegas Mexican-Italian Food Truck Camaradas Came to Be - Eater Vegas
"Camaradas, a food truck that opened in January 2019 and serves both Mexican and Italian fare, doesn’t quite make sense — until it does. To its owners, German Castellanos and Juventino Angeles, cooking and serving Mexican and Italian food in the same place comes naturally. The small team chose the name Camaradas Mexican-Italian Kitchen, which translates to comrade, ally, or friend. They purchased a former taco truck in July of 2018 and quickly found their location through a family friend who owns a nearby car wash and window-tinting business. They spent the next six months securing permits and designing the menu, which is split into Italian dishes and Mexican dishes. On the Italian side, there’s rigatoni Bolognese, cheese ravioli, and spaghetti with meatballs. The star of the Mexican side of the menu is the huarache, a base of crispy masa topped with beans, cheese, and meat. Other highlights include the chicken tinga taco, wet burrito with carne asada, and the chicken Milanesa torta, which is made with quesillo directly imported from Oaxaca." - Krista Diamond
