You can do anything, but you can't do everything. Unless you're Papa's Grill food truck.

🌮 🍔 🍳 🥪 The intrigue: I went here because I was feeling brave yet skeptical about a place serving Caribbean food, burgers, Mexican eats, breakfast and sandwiches ranging from chicken parmesan to a Cubano, all on one menu. Turns out, they know what they're doing.

🍽 What I ate: I sampled a couple of tacos ($3 each), a patty melt with fries ($13) and a mofongo plate with chicken ($17).

Mofongo is a smashed plantain dish served with rice and your choice of chicken or pork.

🇵🇷 Yes, but: They were all solid, but the Caribbean plate was clearly the best, with well-seasoned chicken, rice and plantains, and I'll be ordering off the Caribbean menu again.

🚚 The vibe: Papa's Grill is at City Pump in downtown Rogers, a collection of food trucks anchored by The Botanical bar. Let everyone get what they want and eat together outside at a picnic table.

📍 Stop by: 11am-6pm Tuesday through Saturday at 623 W. Walnut St. in Rogers.
