A
Winston-Salem-based food truck, Sur can be found regularly at Winston-Salem and
High Point breweries. It offers empanadas, sandwiches, sweets, and more.
The local
food truck scene has exploded in recent years, and even amid a field that
boasts excellent Mexican, Jamaican, Korean fusion, and more, Sur manages to
stand out. First, the Chilean-inspired menu offers something different. Can you
find empanadas elsewhere? Of course. But empanadas with beef, raisin, and egg?
Next, pricing is reasonable (sandwiches under $10 and empanadas and sides are
half that), and turn-around times are quick. What really puts Sur on the map,
however, are the flavors.
Our group shared
a churrasco (steak sandwich with tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro mayo), a completo
(loaded beef hotdog with tomatoes, avocado, and mayo), and fries, and
everything was delicious. The two sandwiches weren’t the easiest things to eat,
but what they lacked in structural integrity, they made up for in tastiness. If
calorie guilt or ethical compunction makes a hot dog a once-in-a-rare-while
indulgence, then the completo should be that once. Even the fries (hot, fresh,
and simply salted) were addictively good.
Whether at
a brewery, a festival, or a random location for reasons unknown, if you happen
to see Sur, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Grab napkins and leave regrets
behind.
