Food, family & Filipino culture

Filipino food is having a moment, with awareness and appreciation of the cuisine growing across the nation. And that’s good news for businesses like Meat on the Street, a food truck that’s been serving a broad range of Filipino dishes since 2014.

This week we are talking to Meat on the Street owner Alexa Alfaro about the evolution of the business, the challenges it has faced and the vision for the future, including a pending rebrand that brings its Filipino roots to the fore. Along the way, she offers insights into her experience as an Asian American, her desire to educate customers about Filipino culture and the need for all of us to come together, listen, and use our curiosity to create understanding.
