A Sneads Ferry family has brought a new food truck to the community, one that offers a niche item not found on the east coast.
Antionette Hurtado, and her husband Jeremiah, opened All Rolled Up a couple of months ago, a food truck specializing in breakfast burritos. Antionette said local community members rave about one thing in particular, the green chili she and Jeremiah get directly from Colorado.
The family has moved around a lot due to Jeremiah’s having been in the military, but they’ve never found anything like the green chili they’re so fond of in Colorado. Jeremiah retired from the Marine Corps back in 2021 and the family has settled in Sneads Ferry.
“Every year, we’d go back and we’d buy more chili, we’d bring it back and for Christmas, I’d make tamales, or I’d make something extra,” Antionette said. “I have a big family, I’ve got 10 kids, so I would always have extra food. Wherever we’d move, whether it be California or Hawaii or Virginia, I’d always have something extra for the neighbors and the green chili was always a hit.”
One day, Antionette saw a social media post from someone craving a breakfast burrito, noting the lack of good breakfast burrito options in the area. She then went to her husband and said it’s always been her dream to open a business like this.
In January of this year, the family began working on making All Rolled Up a reality.
The couple’s oldest daughter, Celeste, is 27, and she loves to bake. She was already selling her baked goods on the side, items like fresh cinnamon rolls and Mexican sweet bread. She joined forces with her parents to make All Rolled Up a one-stop shop.
“It just started working for us and little by little, everything kind of just took off faster than we thought and before you knew it, the trailer was parked in our driveway and I was like, okay, here we go,” Antionette said.
Although All Rolled Up does often offer lunch and dinner, breakfast is their strong suit.
The menu consists of the Rocky Mountain Roll Your Own, allowing customers to pick a meat and four additional ingredients; the Wake N’ Bake, complete with eggs, potatoes, bacon, bell pepper, onions and cheese; the Veggie Burrito, which has eggs, potatoes and grilled vegetables; the Gringo Tears, full of eggs, potatoes, choice of meat, Colorado green chili and cheese; the Colorado, also the fan favorite, complete with eggs, potatoes, cheese, chorizo and chopped Colorado green chili; and the Jalapeno Business, which has eggs, potatoes, sausage, red bell pepper and homemade creamy jalapeno sauce.
Although All Rolled Up does move around, Antionette said they are most often at Kinetic Nutrition in Sneads Ferry. They’ve also previously set up at Tortuga’s and The Sea Witch.
They’re open on Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
“There’s six options and two or three of them are super popular,” Antionette said. “The most popular is the Colorado. People have raved about that one. They keep coming back for more and we have quite a few regulars and they bring more people so that’s really cool to see.”
Antionette said the green chili comes straight from Pueblo, Colorado, and can’t be found anywhere else. She added the burritos are large, so going hungry is not going to happen for anyone eating at the new food truck.
Though All Rolled Up is still in its infancy, Antionette and her family look forward to the future. She doesn’t think a brick and mortar is in the cards, as she likes being able to move around, but said her goal is to one day open a second truck.
“That’s what my goal is because we have so many kids that we’d like to leave them with something that they can have on their own, that they can work on,” Antionette said. “They all work, every single one of them. I have a five-year-old is the youngest one and then a 27-year-old is the oldest one. They all have a job, every single one of them. They love working on the truck.”
Antionette said it’s nice to see the young children building that work ethic so early on. With all 10 helping out, Antionette and Jeremiah have no fear when it comes to having enough hands. Alongside Antionette, Jeremiah and Celeste are Rico, Lillie, Maya, Xoey, Gabriel, Aden, Noah, Ysa and Raphael.
For other aspiring food truck or small business owners, Antionette said there will be many people who tell them not to pursue it, but that’s no reason to quit.
“If it’s really in your heart and it’s really what you want, then go for it,” Antionette said. “Don’t let anybody stop you because in the end, you’re going to see the results that you want and that you’ve been wanting your whole life.”
Of course, it’s hard work, Antionette added, but so is everything else in life.
“The people that you do run into that do help you, those are the people you want around you anyway,” Antionette said. “I’ve talked to a lot of food truck people and a lot of them said no, don’t do it. But then there were that bunch that were like, hey, go for it, don’t listen. Yes, it’s work, yes, it’s hard, but yes, it’s worth it.”
