Café Tresbé
The street food concept gets a lift in this big “food truck” with a spacious wooden deck. Tresbé (a local idiom that means “Triple B”) is a colloquial way of saying Bueno, Bonito y Barato (good, pretty, and affordable) and that is precisely what you will find — artisanal burgers, tacos, empanadas, seafood, specials, and coffee.
