The Montebello Story

Welcome to Montebello

A husband and wife team up to open a one-of-a-kind food truck based in Saint Paul, MN.

Hey there! We’re Santiago and Edna, a husband and wife team who started Montebello to share our love of South American food with the world. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we refused to let it dampen our dream, and we turned our passion into a reality by launching our food truck and brick and mortar restaurant in Saint Paul, MN.

Our food truck is a converted mini school bus that we built from scratch, and it’s where we first began serving up the bold and authentic flavors of South America. Our brick and mortar restaurant is a cozy spot located at 401 Robert Street, Suite 201, where you can come and savor our delicious dishes.

At Montebello, we’re all about using fresh, local ingredients to create a menu that’s inspired by our roots. Our signature empanadas and arepas rellena are just a few of the dishes that celebrate the diverse culinary traditions of South America.

We’d love to have you visit us at our food truck or brick and mortar restaurant, where you can taste the true flavors of South America. Follow us on social media to keep up to date on our location and menu offerings. Come and share our love of food and culture, we can’t wait to meet you in person!
