00:00 So I am out here with the two gentlemen behind Lost Borough Food Truck.
00:07 You guys, this food looks amazing.
00:09 So Eduardo and Ricardo.
00:11 Eduardo, you are the founder, the owner, and Ricardo, you are the co-owner and the head
00:17 chef.
00:18 So I really love this.
00:19 Eduardo, first of all, tell me about Lost Borough and how you kind of came up with this
00:23 idea.
00:24 So we're a little chef driven food truck.
00:26 We couldn't really go straight into brick and mortar.
00:28 So how can we bring a high quality food into the public and have everybody be able to afford
00:32 to eat it?
00:33 So we thought Mexican food and we just put a lot of twists, a lot of creative French
00:37 techniques that we've learned in our career and we implemented into every one of our dishes.
00:42 Did you say you put French techniques into Mexican food?
00:45 Yeah, we have confits, we've emulsified a lot of things.
00:48 Everything is made in house from scratch except for a couple of chips, the French fries.
00:52 We wanted to make the French fries but people wouldn't appreciate it at a food truck.
00:56 And the tortillas for now.
00:57 We are coming up with our own secret kind of recipe for a corn tortilla that nobody
01:01 else I think is doing.
01:02 So I'm hoping to put that out soon to the public.
01:04 Cool.
01:05 All right guys, well stay tuned for those tortillas.
01:07 But Ricardo, tell us about what we have on the table today.
01:09 We have a little bit of everything.
01:11 We try to get a variety on the table.
01:13 Our first plate would be our bowl.
01:15 So it'd be bottom with Mexican rice, some pinto refried beans, and then our special
01:21 cremas that we make in house.
01:23 Delish.
01:24 And our pastor, like I said, with pineapple and cilantro on top.
01:27 Yes, we have some tacos there.
01:30 Tell me about these tacos over here.
01:31 That would probably be one of our specialties.
01:33 That's very popular.
01:35 We have the quesadillas and that comes with its own side of bone marrow broth.
01:39 Wow.
01:40 Crispy tortillas.
01:41 You know, we got our onion and cilantro, our braised beef.
01:44 That's very popular.
01:45 So you dip those tacos then into the bone broth.
01:48 Oh man, I love that.
01:50 And then tell me about that burrito there at the end.
01:51 Burrito, that's another favorite of the people.
01:53 We have our California burrito.
01:55 We had our own little twist.
01:57 I think we have carnitas in there with our red pickled onions, some crispy french fries,
02:03 and a nice crispy tortilla wrapped around.
02:05 Delicious.
02:06 Thank you for walking us through that.
02:07 Everything looks fantastic.
02:08 But Eduardo, tell me a little bit about the name.
02:11 Why Lost Burro?
02:13 So at first we didn't really know.
02:14 I wanted it to be funny.
02:15 I wanted it to be a little creative.
02:17 And it's funny, now that I really think about it, when I was making these dishes, my parents
02:20 were just like, "This is not traditional Mexican food."
02:23 Sure.
02:24 And then they told me, "Estas perdido.
02:25 You're lost."
02:26 And then with that, we kind of came up with the Lost Burro idea because they thought it
02:29 was funny.
02:30 I think it's hilarious.
02:31 And I think it's very unique, too.
02:32 It's something that people are going to remember.
02:34 So you guys are going to be out on Saturday, November 4th for the 17th annual Fall Fest.
02:40 Tell me a little bit about that and working with Local First.
02:42 So this is our first year with Local First.
02:44 They found us and we had to do some classes.
02:46 We learned a lot.
02:47 Even my chef career, there's stuff that I didn't know about running a business that
02:51 they showed us, they taught us.
02:53 And they're a resource that we've utilized a lot.
02:56 And since then, they've reached us out for a couple events, a couple other catering things,
03:01 and we've grown as a business with them.
03:02 That's really awesome.
03:03 Well, other than that upcoming event, where can people find you?
03:07 How do they...
03:08 Can they have you come out to events at their places, or do they just kind of follow your
03:12 schedule?
03:13 So we're very flexible.
03:14 We're normally located on 83rd and Peoria from 11 until 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
03:19 But if not, you can follow us on social media at LostboroAZ, or you can reach out to us.
03:24 Our email's everywhere.
03:25 You can Google us.
03:26 We have five stars on Google with over 150 reviews.
03:28 Wow.
03:29 So the people love us.
03:30 We're trying to stay out here for the people.
03:31 And if you need me in Tempe, Scottsdale, anywhere, we've gone to Cottonwood.
03:35 I love it.
03:36 So you guys can travel, you guys are mobile.
03:38 Wherever they want you, you guys will be found.
03:42 I love it.
03:43 All right, guys.
03:44 Really, really great.

04:13 Maybe have a little bit of everything.
04:14 A little bit of everything.
04:15 I love that.
04:16 Shrimp taco.
