Basin Bites: Packing the punch with super lunch
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – In this week's Basin Bites, we visited Super Lonches, a food truck in Midland with some menu items that will make you want to come back for more and more. Super Lonches is a brand-new truck that just opened a few weeks after both owners, Diana Suarez and Jesus Melendez, were inspired by Suarez's father, who also owns a food truck in El Paso.
Serving Mexican Comfort Food From Scratch
'It all started with my parents,' says Suarez. 'They own a food truck in El Paso as well, and then they started from scratch. It's been almost like 20 years, and then I started helping them a few years ago. Then my parents always approached me to open my own business over here with my husband, and then I think it has already come to life now.'
At Super Lonches, the star of the show is the namesake 'super lonche,' a hefty sandwich stacked on soft bolillo bread and packed with your choice of meat options, including bistek, al pastor, ham, and more. From there, it only gets bolder: layers of avocado, hot dog slices, lettuce, tomato, and house-made condiments round out the savory tower.
But the love doesn't stop at the lonches. The truck also serves hand-cut French fries, made fresh daily, and refreshing aguas frescas, like cantaloupe and lemonade, perfect for the West Texas heat.
Super Lonches is located at 2209 Rankin Hwy in Midland and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 12 pm to 8 pm.
