Our town of Brewster is home to a wide range of restaurants, each offering its own story and signature style. But what makes I’guana Tacos truly special goes far beyond its delicious food or even the novelty of a kitchen on wheels. At its heart, this is a family story, one built on love, tradition, and the simple joy of sharing a meal. Every dish reflects not just bold flavor, but the care and dedication of the people behind it. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a sense of connection, I’guana Tacos is the place to go.

The dream began in June 2023 with husband-and-wife duo Jorge and Senia Handal, who wanted to bring the vibrant flavors of Honduras to their community. Long before the food truck ever hit the road, their journey started in the most personal way possible: cooking for others. Whether it was school birthdays or small local events, the Handals would prepare homemade tacos to share with friends, neighbors, and classmates. What may have seemed like a small gesture at the time quickly became something more meaningful. Their food didn’t just satisfy hunger: it brought people together.

As word spread, so did the excitement. Students and families began to rave about the rich, authentic flavors packed into every bite. What started as a thoughtful act of generosity soon sparked a bigger idea: what if this passion could become something lasting? That question became the foundation of I’guana Tacos.

Today, the truck travels throughout the area, spending most Fridays and Saturdays in the parking lot of Tractor Supply Company in Patterson (check their Instagram weekly to confirm!) serving a growing menu that includes burritos, bowls, quesadillas, and nachos alongside their beloved tacos. Favorites like the Golden Tacos, filled with tender chicken, soft potatoes, and crisp toppings, have quickly become customer staples, while dishes like the carne asada bowl, chicharron tacos, and limited-time fish tacos reflect the family’s personal favorites. Even as the menu expands, the heart of the business remains the same: food made with care, inspired by home.

The Handals have also expanded beyond school events, regularly serving at local gathering spots on weekends and catering celebrations ranging from birthdays to weddings and graduation celebrations. No matter the setting, their goal is consistent: to be part of people’s most meaningful moments, the same way they started.

What truly sets I’guana Tacos apart is the way the family approaches every meal. Each component is thoughtfully prepared, often by hand, using fresh ingredients to ensure quality and authenticity. But more than that, every dish carries a sense of heritage. For the Handals, this isn’t just about serving food, it’s about sharing a piece of their culture and inviting others into it.

That genuine passion has not gone unnoticed. The truck frequently sells out and has built a strong reputation within the community. As their success grows, so do their dreams, with hopes of expanding to another truck or even a permanent location in the future.

At its core, I’guana Tacos is more than a business, it’s a family effort rooted in love, tradition, and community. Their success comes not just from what they serve, but from how they serve it: with warmth, generosity, and pride in every detail. So if you’re looking for more than just a meal, an experience that feels both personal and memorable, you don’t have to travel far.

This weekend, you can find a taste of Honduras right here.
