Here are details on a couple restaurant events occurring Friday, Oct. 23: a Scotts Valley food-truck-and-film event and a Jamaican restaurant opening in Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n

Dinner and Movie in the Park<\/strong>
\nAfter a very successful debut event in September with 400-500 attendees, food truck event company Food Trucks A Go Go<\/a> is hosting its second food truck event at Skypark in Scotts Valley Friday night. This time, it\u2019s even bigger: there will be seven food trucks instead of four, and a free family-friendly movie\u2014Monsters, Inc.\u2014will be shown! The film will be aired on the big outdoor screen via Scotts Valley Recreation, who is partnering with Food Trucks A Go Go this time. Participating food trucks are Ate3One<\/a>, Zameen Mediterranean<\/a>, and Aunt LaLi\u2019s Mobile Caf\u00e9<\/a> (these three were all at last month\u2019s \u201ca Go Go\u201d), plus event newcomers Carmona’s BBQ<\/a>, G’s Tacos<\/a>, Mariscos San Juanito, and Zocalo Tamales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ate3One really enjoyed participating in the September event. \u201cWe felt honored to be invited and share our food with so many of the folks that attended,\u201d says co-owner Jonathan Smith. \u201cIt was great to see the excitement on people’s faces as their food came out.\u201d When asked what they\u2019d be selling at the Oct. 23 event, Ate3One replied that they will have staples such as Philly cheesesteaks and garlic shrimp tacos plus a few additions. \u201cWe will also be featuring some new menu items that will highlight locally harvested, seasonal produce,\u201d said Smith. \u201c These include the \u2018harvest hog sandwich\u2019 with slow roasted pork tenderloin and a veggie salad featuring roasted butternut squash, apples, and pomegranate,\u201d she added.\u00a0 Smith looks forward to seeing \u201canother great turn out of awesome foodies and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aunt LaLi\u2019s owner, LaLi Kates, is the Food Trucks A Go Go founder. She\u2019s thrilled that the community has embraced these events. I asked her to tell readers a few of the things her truck will be stocked with on Oct. 23. \u201cOur signature Nawlins’-style organic iced coffee, which has become quite popular\u2026our Affogatos, which have a strong following: double shot of organic espresso poured over ice cream, with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle \u2026made-to-order ice cream sandwiches\u2026cones\/cups of scooped ice cream\u2026and hand-crafted Italian sodas,\u201d shared Kates. Remember to save the date for the next Go Go Gathering: Friday, Nov. 13.<\/p>\n

Date\/Hours:<\/strong> Friday, Oct. 23, trucks start selling at 4:30 & film starts at 6:30 p.m. Trucks will stop selling at 7:30 (or earlier if they sell out)
