| Sanguchon's pan con chicharron, $8. |
Though SFoodie learned of the existence of Sanguchon, a Peruvian sandwich truck, in January, it took a few months for chef Carlos Altamirano (Mochica, Piqueo's, La Costanera) to get the truck up and running. But last night, Altamirano and his crew debuted at the Upper Haight Off the Grid, attracting the longest lines among the 10 trucks gathered.

The most classic sanguchon on the menu: pan con chicharron -- chunks of slow-roasted pork shoulder slathered in mayonnaise and topped with a sweet potato slice and salsa criolla, or lime-tart red onions. Is Sanguchon's pan con chicharron as majestic as the one El Perol makes? Not yet. But it's early days: According to its Facebook page, the truck will have lots of time to perfect its recipes parking at the corner of 17th and Carolina streets in Potrero Hill, every day from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
