Fish N’ Chips performing at the event The Xavierite
On Wednesday, April 23, the Student Activities Board (SAB) Hosted a Taste of SXU event where students were able to listen to music performed by Fish N’ Chips and get free food from different food trucks.
Giuliana Islas, Orientation and Belonging Coord., expressed,” Taste of SXU is a great event where students’ can get some free food, listen to live music, and socialize. This event comes at a perfect time when students have so much stress piling up with finals on the way. So, it’s a way for Student Life to show some appreciation to the students’ with the free food.”
“The community I think stood out. Everyone was laughing and having a great time while enjoying some great food,” shared Issac Adams, student attendee.
When walking into the event, students were asked to scan their den pass and were later provided with three tickets, used to purchase food and drinks. Each food truck and vendor required one ticket per purchase.
Options consisted of Yum Dum (bao buns), Willie B’s (salmon and lamb chops), Beavers Coffee and Donuts, Sweet Ride Dessert Truck (churros, cake pops, etc.), D&D Shack (pasta), Whadda Jark (chicken and fries), Dave’s Dawgs (hot dogs), The Tamale Spaceship (tamales and tacos), and Paleteria Los Magos (elotés and more).
There were additionally coolers with drinks (no ticket required) for students to select from.
Adams shared, “I went to the jerk chicken truck, yum dum, and the eloté tent.”
Although the event took place from 12:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m., some vendors closed up and left early due to them quickly selling out of food.
Adams recommended adding more food trucks for the next Taste of SXU event “because they tend to sell out fairly fast.”
