Karlita's way: Latin American food from a hot red trailer

A handful of new food trucks are circling Baltimore's streets. We're catching up with them in advance of A Taste of Two Cities, the big June 23 Baltimore vs. D.C. food truck rally.

Although Karlita's Latin and American Mobile Cuisine has been on the streets since last September, We're only just heard about it recently, when its operator, Karla Flores rang us up. A native of Honduras, Flores also sells things quesadillas, taquitos, burritos, fried plantains and tacos -- Latin food with an authentic Honduran flair, Flores calls it.

A former city employee, Karla Flores left her job in the mayor's office last year to launch. We went looking for it on Monday, at Commerce and Pratt, but we had our eye out full-sized truck when we should have been looking for a fire-engine red trailer. I was really wanting a shrimp taco, too.
