After a year and a half of existing solely as a pop-up, Top Nada debuts its new food truck in Seminole Heights this weekend.
Common Dialect Beerworks at 5023 N Florida Ave. hosts the soon-to-open food truck on Saturday, Aug. 26 from noon-6 p.m., where bumpin’ reggaeton music and a raffle will welcome its first customers.
Top Nada makes its food truck debut at the same place where it took home the first prize for “Best Traditional Empanada” at the Tampa Bay Empanada Festival earlier this year.
The pop-up’s classic beef and cheese empanada captivated festival goers— a classic item that will definitely be on the food truck’s menu, alongside other dishes like chopped cheeses and loaded fries.Other empanada flavors that Top Nada founder Adam Ayala will dish out at this weekend’s grand opening includes “The Rude Bwoy” with marinated chicken and homemade jerk sauce, “The Birdy Mac” stuffed with buffalo mac and cheese and ” The Bubba Gump” complete with Gulf shrimp and a garlic creole dipping sauce.
Ayala tells Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that he will announce more empanada flavors and an expanded food truck menu sometime soon.
In addition to popping up at popular Tampa breweries like Magnanimous Brewing, Wulfaven Brewing, Ology Brewing Co. and Woven Water, Top Nada is also available for a variety of private events, too.
