Following massive statewide success, the business expanded last year by launching a second truck in Hoboken. This steady growth ultimately paved the way for their brand-new brick-and-mortar storefront.

The Secrets Behind the Viral Menu

The eatery gained widespread social media popularity largely due to its signature Patacón Burger. Instead of standard brioche buns, this viral creation uses crispy fried plantains known as tostones.

Visitors who want to figure out getting around downtown will find the new restaurant conveniently situated at 210 Hudson Street. It operates independently from the mobile trucks, ensuring a dedicated neighborhood spot for fans.

Signature Sauces and Flavors

Every burger is generously layered with American cheese, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a distinct blend of house-made sauces. These unique condiments define the eatery’s unforgettable flavor profile:

  • Savory garlic-cilantro sauce
  • Sweet and tangy pineapple sauce
  • Creamy traditional pink sauce

Before you check out other amazing things to do around town, make sure to grab a quick bite at this exciting new address. If you need a comfortable place to rest your head afterward, you can always research where to stay nearby.

The new storefront is officially open for hungry patrons Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 AM to 7 PM. Stop by this week to taste why everyone is talking about this incredible Afro-Colombian culinary experience.
