Aurora Del Sabor Mexican Food Truck

When I think about local favorites, one of the first places that comes to mind is Aurora Del Sabor Mexican Food Truck. Even though it isn't a CHamoru food business, it's definitely one of my favorite places to eat.

Aurora Del Sabor started back in 2021, selling food out of their home in Dededo across from Guam Home Center. Not long after, they got a food truck and started setting up at the Harmon Cost-U-Less on Saturdays. As more people discovered them, they began showing up at pop-up events all over the island. These days, you can usually find them at the Tuesday Dededo Night Market, the Wednesday Night Market at the Chamorro Village, and plenty of other food truck events around Guam.

One thing I really like about this business is the story behind it. The owners are a family from Mexico City, and from what they've told me, the money they make from the truck helps support their church here on Guam. I've asked them a few times when they're going to open a restaurant because their food is that good, but they always laugh and say the food truck is enough. They're happy doing what they're doing and helping where they can.

The reason I love Aurora Del Sabor so much is probably because it reminds me so much of my nana. My grandmother on my dad's side was Mexican, and she was an amazing cook. She actually met my tata in 1942 while he was stationed in San Francisco, and the two eventually married, had four children, and moved back to Guam. Growing up, she lived downstairs from my family, so I was lucky enough to eat homemade Mexican food all the time. Fresh flour tortillas, refried beans, enchiladas, and tamales were pretty normal meals in our house. She  taught me how to make most of her dishes, even tamales, which is still one of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Because of that, I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. I've tried most of the Mexican restaurants on Guam, and while some have dishes I enjoy, none of them really remind me of the food I grew up eating. Not Aurora Del Sabor though! Their dishes taste the most like what I grew up eating and still cook today.  

Their menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tamales, pupusas, horchata, and a bunch of other great options. My go-to order is always the Tamal Plate. It comes with two large pork tamales, Mexican rice, and refried beans, and it's honestly one of my favorite meals on island. If I'm especially hungry, I'll grab a couple of carne asada or fish tacos too.

I've tried just about everything on their menu at least once, and I really don't think you can make a bad choice. But if you're trying them for the first time, I'd definitely recommend the tamales and tacos. They're my favorites, and they're the dishes that keep me coming back whenever I see the truck at an event.

If you ever get the chance to try Aurora Del Sabor, I highly recommend them!

Southern Spotlight: Dukduk Shave Ice

By: Ciann San Nicolas      Tucked by the quiet Merizo shore, there is a hidden gem called "Dukduk Shave Ice." In a sleek silver Airstream, owner Donovan serves refreshing, deliciously sweet treats that are perfect for maipe days on Guåhan. Dukduk Shave Ice is my personal favorite southern spot for a sweet treat because not only are the desserts scrumptious, but the prices are fair and the views are impeccable. At only $5 per shave ice (with no limit on flavor choices), it's a perfect place to bring the whole family to cool down. Beyond shave ice, Donovan also serves Americanos and homemade mango ice cream!      It's important to note that Dukduk Shave Ice only takes cash, so be prepared before stopping by! They are open Tuesday-Sunday from 11 am - 4 pm. There is a nice, shaded place to eat your treats right by the Airstream. There are also 3 picnic tables right by the sea for a truly picturesque afternoon. They are located right across from C&J hotdog s...

Let’s Celebrate with CHamoru Pastries

  Malia’ ta Silebra I Fina’mames CHamoru Let’s Celebrate with CHamoru Pastries Keeping Guåhan’s Sweet Traditions Alive When a family celebration begins in Guåhan, the air fills with laughter, conversation, and the warm smell of pastries made with love. No party, fiesta, or gathering feels truly complete without the sweet taste of buñelos kamuti, buñelos aga’, and titiyas manha waiting on the table. These pastries are more than food; they are memories, lessons, and traditions passed from one generation to the next. I call them my favorites not only because they are delicious, but because my grandparents taught me to understand their value. They reminded me that not everyone can make these pastries. Preparing them takes patience, strength, and time. Each ingredient comes from the local harvest, raised and gathered through the hard work of the men and women of Guåhan. Every bite carries the story of our island, our families, and our people. That is why we must keep these l...
