Gallup’s Newest Food Truck - George

Gallup’s Newest Food Truck

By George

Gallup has reinvented itself several times. In the early days, we were all about the coal that was found in the surrounding hills. Then we turned into a railroad town. Today we are a trading center for McKinley County and the surrounding Navajo Nation. So, it only makes sense that Cecilia Resendiz reinvented her business.

Many of us knew her as the owner of El Metate Tamale Factory, located in the Chihuahuita neighborhood. This eatery had a loyal following and was a favorite stop for many visitors because of the great reviews online. It had a four-star rating on TripAdvisor that brought many hungry travelers to its door. Customers voiced their approval

of the great tastes found here. However, this longtime favorite neighborhood restaurant closed and that led Cecilia on her new journey.

Today, she sells the same great-tasting food from her food trailer. Maybe, this is the start of Gallup’s food truck revolution? Her new business is called Tacos de Guisos Muy Mexicanos, which I believe translates to something like “Tacos and Many Other Mexican Dishes”. Cecilia is all in and loves the new way of sharing her dishes with us locals and out of town visitors.

Her green food trailer is not hard to miss. She can be found at 808 East Historic Highway 66. This is in the parking lot of the old Talk of the Town close to the east side Taco Bell. Her most popular plates are the tacos, of course, and the flavorful tortas. She uses many different flavors, so you will find something for every taste desire. She is operating her business Monday thru Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Also, if you are looking for someone to cater an event you might be lucky enough to talk Cecilia into handling the chore.

We all know how unique Gallup is, and the local Mexican food found here is the best in New Mexico. Many of us knew of the secret spot in the Chihuahuita neighborhood, but then, many of us didn’t. If you missed her at El Metate, you are going to be very pleased with her take on the street taco. A three-taco plate is bursting with flavor. Take the time to find her new mobile eatery and try one of her great dishes. Once you have had your first plate, I am certain this will become one of your favorite stops.

After you have had a taste, make sure to give her a review online. It won’t be long before people will be finding her once
