Or at least on weekends, when the trucks are out. I got a little too excited my last time there, a few months back, upon seeing fettuccine carbonara on the menu.<br /><br />Immediately ordered it, and was let down when it turned out to be a cream-sauce concoction (NOT carbonara!), but it was a decent pasta dish, and better than the pasta on offer at the trio of Greek pizza shops on that same stretch of Girard. Probably not better than Franco's, though.<br /><br />JB's burger is probably my second favorite in Fishtown, after Loco Pez. I still wish Charlie's in Folsom would move on up to East Kensington, though...Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545710134936070477.post-35691544490643879042014-06-19T08:10:29.379-04:002014-06-19T08:10:29.379-04:00Johnny Brenda's is pretty damn good these days...Johnny Brenda's is pretty damn good these days.

But they must be doing well enough, since they've been there almost every Friday and Saturday night since last Fall. The lines in that spot tend to be at the Calle del Sabor truck next door, from which I once ordered the worst 'Cuban' sandwich of my life. I don't know what the attraction to that truck is for everybody, but I'm glad it enables me to slide right in to Mi Pueblito and get my food in under two minutes almost every time.<br /><br />I wish they'd add occasional specials, but it's a truck so I can't complain. I once asked the guy who said he runs the truck down Washington Ave on weekdays if they'd ever have tripas at this location, and he told me he'd bring some up the following weekend. I was shocked, but I went back the next weekend nonetheless, and they didn't even show up. I've never seen the guy working the truck in this location again (I'm guessing it's the mother and her daughter, with the son recently joining as well), and I still wish I could get my tripas on this close and conveniently, but such is life I suppose.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545710134936070477.post-61854715153584755052014-06-17T13:52:55.464-04:002014-06-17T13:52:55.464-04:00Great review.
