SABOR sm Truck 🚛
Since '13
Since opening in 2013 the food truck has undergone major changes. Name changed from Antojitos San Miguel - to - SABOR de San Miguel
Together with our graphic
designer we came up with the new design of the food truck.
We used the Mayan symbol
of the Quetzal, which is the national bird of Guatemala,
as the face of our brand.
