Fernando Kabande Garc&iacute;a cocina comidas cl&aacute;sicas del Medio Oriente, como falafel y hojas de parra rellenas, adem&aacute;s de algunos platos relacionados nacidos aqu&iacute; en M&eacute;xico, desde este cami&oacute;n de comida en la carretera de Ajijic.
El camello, que es una especie de s&aacute;ndwich de pita relleno de shawarma, se invent&oacute; a principios de la d&eacute;cada de 1980 en el restaurante El Chamuco en Torre&oacute;n, Coahuila, una regi&oacute;n influenciada durante mucho tiempo por sus inmigrantes de Medio Oriente. Este plato es relativamente desconocido fuera de zonas espec&iacute;ficas del pa&iacute;s donde est&aacute; de moda, como Torre&oacute;n.
El taco arabe (taco &aacute;rabe) proviene de Puebla y lleva carne picada, hummus, perejil, tocino y cebolla. Este platillo es m&aacute;s com&uacute;n en M&eacute;xico que el kamello pero sigue siendo regional. Kamellos Food Truck puede ser el &uacute;nico lugar junto al lago que les sirve.
Todos los platos de Kamellos Food Truck se sirven con una ensalada verde y un aderezo de sabor muy fresco elaborado con cilantro, perejil, albahaca, ajo y aceite.
Los platos tambi&eacute;n se sirven con una cucharada de jocoque, que es una crema ligeramente fermentada perfecta para acompa&ntilde;ar su kamello o taco &aacute;rabe. Fernando lo elabora en casa con un proceso que dura 20 horas desde el primer paso de calentar la leche hasta finalmente dejarla reposar durante 12 horas.
Fernando vino de Guadalajara hace dos a&ntilde;os, aunque &eacute;l y miembros de su familia han vivido aqu&iacute; en el lago de Chapala durante a&ntilde;os. Su abuela es de Palestina y su ex suegra operaba un restaurante que vend&iacute;a kamellos en Torre&oacute;n, as&iacute; fue como lleg&oacute; a ser due&ntilde;o de Kamellos Food Truck en Ajijic.

Kamellos

The kamello especial, with beef and cheese in pita bread, a salad, and a scoop of jocoque. The kamello or camello was invented and first sold in the early 1980s in a restaurant in Torreón, in the state of Coahuila in north central Mexico.

Stuffed grape leaves with a side salad and a dollop of jocoque. Jocoque is neither sour cream nor Mexican crema, but another dairy product made from fermented milk that is something in between.

A taco árabe: beef, hummus, parsley, and other herbs and spices wrapped in a tortilla and then grilled.

The seating area at Kamellos Food Truck, which has undergone some recent renovations, including a cement slab.

Preparing salads and adding dollops of jocoque to the plates.

The salad dressing is a combination of parsley, basil, cilantro, garlic and oil that everybody loves.

Fernando Kabande García cooks classic Middle Eastern foods including falafel and stuffed grape leaves, plus some related dishes born here in Mexico, from this food truck on the highway in Ajijic.
The kamello, which is kind of like a pita sandwich stuffed with shawarma, was invented in the early 1980s in the restaurant El Chamuco in Torreón, Coahuila, a region long-influenced by its Middle East immigrants. This dish is relatively unknown outside of specific areas of the country where it&#8217;s caught on, such as Torreón.
The taco árabe (Arabic taco) comes from Puebla and has chopped beef, hummus, parsley, bacon, and onion. This dish is more common in Mexico than the kamello but is still regional. Kamellos Food Truck may be the only place lakeside that serves them.
All the dishes at Kamellos Food Truck are served with a green salad and a very fresh-tasting dressing made from cilantro, parsley, basil, garlic, and oil.
Dishes are also served with a dollop of jocoque, which is a mildly fermented cream perfect for cramming into your kamello or taco árabe. Fernando makes it at home with a process that takes 20 hours from the first step of heating the milk to finally letting it hang for 12 hours.
Fernando came from Guadalajara two years ago, though he and members of his family have lived here at Lake Chapala for years. His grandmother comes from Palestine and his former mother-in-law operated a restaurant which sold kamellos in Torreón, which is how he came to own Kamellos Food Truck in Ajijic.
