Okay. Let me just start off by saying I had absolutely zero expectations for this dish, but it totally blew it out of the park. The succulent medley of vegetables, the crispy tater tots, the fresh mint chutney- all topped off with yogurt. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

Papri tot is twist papri chaat, an iconic Indian snack. This food truck added their own twist by replacing the deep fried pieces of dough (the papri), with tater tots. Seriously though, it was ingenious. I could eat it again, and again, and again… you get the point.

The one part of me that wasn’t too happy was my wallet, and my still sort of empty stomach. The dish itself was made for half a person, but cost $10! I mean come on guys, don’t do this to me. If it wasn’t for the steep price tag, I would have left the Stampede having eaten it a couple different times.

They also didn’t have that much variety, but with a papri tot like that, they really didn’t need it.
