The Lomo Truck, a food truck fleet, recently opened two new locations.
Spots in Garfield at 517 River Dr. and Jersey City at 501 Central Ave. opened in early September.
A grand opening ceremony for the Garfield spot will take place Oct. 14. Jersey City’s location held its grand opening last month.
Paterson-born Cesar Valdivia, who helms the Peruvian eatery chain, started operating the first Lomo Truck in Paterson in 2016.
The Lomo Truck grew in popularity on Getty Avenue in Paterson — eventually making its way throughout Bergen, Essex and Passaic counties.
“I’m running this show with my nephews, my brother, my father, my partner, my best friends and childhood friends, who are now franchise partners and manage my locations,” Valdivia told NJ Advance Media.
The food truck offers a variety of Peruvian eats, like lomo saltado, arroz chaufa, tallarin saltado, salchipapa and ceviche.
The Lomo Truck was ranked seventh on NJ.com’s list of New Jersey’s 21 best restaurants of 2021.
The company also operates in Passaic and Woodland Park and has plans to expand outside of New Jersey.
“Florida and Texas, those are my goals. One location a year for the next six years,” Validivia said.
