“Chez Jaco” Trailer: an explosion of local flavors!

To try it is to adopt it !

They say things never happen by chance, and once again I was able to verify that. Leaving an afternoon spent with a cousin hospitalized at the nearby Taaone Hospital, I felt like stopping for dinner at one of the food trucks that set up in the evening in the parking lot of Aorai Tini Hau Park in Pirae. It was a first for me. In this parking lot, which transforms into a veritable open-air restaurant at sunset , I wandered around looking for a table. In the still-humid atmosphere, despite the late hour, the aromas mingled and intoxicated me . It was difficult to choose between the dozen or so food trucks where the "chefs" were busy at their stoves. Finally, and don't ask me why, I settled on a table at "Chez Jaco." I now go back regularly , and I'm going to tell you why.

Ultimately

Since I discovered the “Chez Jaco” caravan, I have not hesitated to travel the 32 kilometers round trip that separates me from Pirae to come and taste the specialty which made him famous: lhot and cold tuna.
