About La Amapola
Empanadas sell out quick! We are the only food truck of our kind in the Detroit Metro area. We are a Dominican and Latin Caribbean spot on wheels and empanadas, loaded plaintains, loaded fries and tropical ricebowls are what people usually come for. I also do pernil, and jerked chicken plates when the day calls for them. I keep options for vegans, vegetarians, and folks avoiding dairy or gluten. Halal choices are always available. I pack boxed lunches for work crews and events, simple and hearty. For fast paced events, I focus on straightforward dishes you can eat standing up or hand to a group. If you need on-site service for a lunch shift, or are looking to impress the crowd at your next party or gathering, I offer a versatile menu that can be adjusted to fit your event’s needs. At La Amapola, our food is Always fresh, Always delicious, Always new!
Meet The Owner, Carmen Reinoso
As a first generation Dominican American, it is important for me to preserve my roots and culture for the oncoming generations, and what better way to accomplish that then through delicious food? Food is a huge part of culture and every dish gives us the opportunity to tell a story that brings us back to our beginnings. It is well known that every good cook or chef has a few of their grandma’s secret recipes under their belt, and that’s what food is all about. Culture, history, and family. The intention behind every single one of my dishes is not only to fill your belly with delicious food, but also to transport you to a beach in the Caribbean while eating some of my abuela’s famous recipes.

When to Book
The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.
That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.
Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Detroit, so booking early gives you the best selection.
