The Tia Rosa Snack Truck is located just south of the Pos Chikito circle in Aruba. It used to be in another location, but moved last year. Many people stop here for the pastiche and other local snacks. Here’s a photo of the joint.
Don’t be fooled by this photo, which I took on Sunday when the place is closed. They open early, at 4AM for those of us who stay out all night in San Nicolaas, and do a steady trade through most of the day. You’ll frequently see a line here. But, it’s worth the wait. I pop in for an ice-cold Coca-Cola or something small when the mood strikes.
Bon dia from Aruba.
I set it up in the little courtyard outside my house. I’ll be adding some seating, a table, a few tiki lights and be ready to go. Nothing like cooking over a flame. Takes you right back to caveman days and tastes good, too.
It was quite startling to come across an American style diner in Spain. Of course, I couldn’t resist taking a look. This place might have been found along any rural highway in the United States. So, taking advantage of such a locale, I promptly sat down and got some writing done. As I’ve said before, one of the joys of travel is coming upon the unexpected. You just never know what’s around the next corner: more of the same, or something completely different. (There was also a McDonald’s there but there’s plenty of them around Spain so we’ll ignore that.)
