Yes but roaches and other vermin can unwittingly be brought into a place
through the boxed items that are carried aboard. But, as a rule, I'm not
nearly as worried about the cleanliness of these cafes on wheels as some of
the more dank-n-dark hole in the wall places I've discovered.

Indeed! And when they make even halfway-decent food, the wait can be
excruciatingly long! The Vietnamese couple would spend 30 minutes at our
place in the morning and then over 60 at lunch! The line was longer than
Togo's* around the corner.
