Los Habaneros is happy to bring bold flavors to Wichita

WICHITA, Kan. — For customers seeking variety and generous portions, Los Habaneros Mexican Food Truck delivers. It also offers a burst of Mexican flavor in east Wichita. The experience goes beyond a quick taco stop. The food truck, located at 6401 E. Kellogg Drive, has become a popular destination for tacos, quesabirrias, nachos and other Mexican favorites. The $50 Los Habaneros Platter is the talk of the town. It provides diners a way to sample several items in one meal. The truck’s creamy horchata offers a sweet balance to the savory flavors.

What to Expect 

Los Habaneros Platter

The Los Habaneros Platter is the centerpiece of the meal. At $50, this isn’t an inexpensive choice. The appeal lies in the amount and variety of food on offer. That amount arrives on the table.

Wichita native and regular at Los Habaneros, Mario Delaorden states “If you are coming for your first time, the platter is the way to go… you get a taste of everything.”

Instead of committing to one entree, customers get the opportunity to experience several of the food truck’s flavors at once. Thus, a group sharing a meal can enjoy the platter, turning an ordinary food-truck visit into a Mexican-style feast. Additionally, the experience feels festive and varied.

The truck’s menu presented plenty of choices for building that experience. Quesabirrias are among its most popular items. They feature slow-cooked shredded beef, melted cheese, onions and cilantro with consommé for dipping. Tacos, fried tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, nachos and flautas also give customers plenty of options. 

One of the easiest items to overlook on a menu filled with tacos and quesabirrias is the horchata. The traditional Mexican drink is made with rice, milk, almonds and spices, creating a creamy and lightly sweet flavor. At Los Habaneros, the horchata is a natural companion to the more heavily seasoned food, especially for diners who want something refreshing between bites. 

It’s a Food Truck?!

The setting also adds to the experience. Los Habaneros operates as a food truck rather than a traditional sit-down restaurant, so customers should expect an informal, takeout-oriented atmosphere. 

College student and Wichita resident Flannery Black said “I didn’t expect it to be a food truck when I heard people talking about it…it kind of makes you feel like the food is going to be good.” 

Los Habaneros succeeds by keeping the focus on what a food truck does best: flavorful food, large portions and a menu that gives customers plenty of choices. 

“If you are traveling to Wichita or stopping through, Los Habaneros will never fail you.” stated by regular J’den McFarthing

The $50 Los Habaneros Platter makes the most sense for people who want to share and sample multiple dishes, while the horchata adds a cool, sweet contrast to the meal. For Wichita diners willing to skip the traditional restaurant setting, Los Habaneros offers a filling Mexican food experience served straight from the truck.
