Hitting the road

Peter Gonzvar closed his south-side Peruvian restaurant in late July after he and his California-based landlord could not reach an agreement on a new lease.

Two months after closing its south side location over a rent dispute, the operators of Don Pedro's PeruvianΒ Bistro are hitting the road.

Literally.

The restaurant, which ended a five-year run at the Southgate Shopping Center on South Sixth Avenue in early August, is rolling out a food truck.

The owner, Peter Gonzvar, announced on Facebook that it would debut the truck Friday, Oct. 16, at Jacome Plaza Downtown.

"We are very excited to start this new chapter of our business. And we want you, our loyal customers to be the first to check out our food truck, exclusive menu, and of course some salsa music," the posting said.

The menu includes some of Don Pedro's favorites including Arroz con Mariscos, Anticuchos and Lomo Saltado. Entrees run from $5 to $15 .

Follow the truck here. The grand-unveiling will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
