There's more than the usual taco ingredients being mixed at the Cultro PVD food truck in Rhode Island.

Co-owners Leslie Polanco and fiance Daniel Nunez are all about ensuring that their love is part of the Latino infusion fare recipes, according to a 10WJAR report.

"[Our love] definitely finds its way, everything we do from the time it takes to marinate the chicken, cook the steak, and the arepas are very labor intensive," Nunez told the news outlet. "And it's just us two and we're in the kitchen and we just work very well together."

The food truck began as a pop-up four years ago and its food has become a popular destination, with lines often forming from its opening hour.

"Some people just cut meat, throw some seasoning and call it a day; he actually marinates and buys a quality beef and tastes like, cooks for his family," Renato Yee, a food truck customer, told the news outlet.
