Wait! What! What the hell is a Street Taco? Allow me to educate you.
Definition- A Street Taco is a very small soft taco made with a corn tortilla. I measured the tortilla here and it's 3 1/4 in diameter. That's small! The tortilla is very often doubled. More about that later. They are intended to be eaten with one hand. They only have three ingredients: your protein, minced onions and chopped cilantro.
What the hell again? What happened to cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and twenty other things I get on my tacos? That's American style and not found on a traditional street taco.
My little place has seven protein choices: Al Pastor, Asada, Barbacoa, Lengua, Suadero, Pollo and Tripa. I'm an Asada guy myself.
Ordering- This place has an outside walk-up window. You mention your protein, # of tacos, and red or green sauce or both. Nobody orders just one. Typical orders for one person are 4-6. The post-pandemic cost is about $1.50 each.
Consuming- Street Tacos are often called two-bite- tacos. If you are a dainty eater, maybe three. Chomp, chomp, and maybe chomp and it's gone. Here each chomp is accompanied by rolling eyes and moans of delight!
However, if you want to be identified as a sophisticated Street Taco aficionado, you do this. When you get your order, you immediately separate one of those doubled tortillas, put one aside and then chomp away on your order. These are tacos so you know you're going to spill some right? I think there is a law that requires that! So, when your almost finished, you take all your spillage, put it in your saved tortilla, and now have another taco. Genius!
I once sat near a table where a little girl watched me very carefully as I did this. She looked at the mess on her plate, figured it out and laughed and clapped with delight! Her parent's loved it!
Note #1- There is a market inside the building where you can grab a beer or other drink to go with your tacos and also order other types of Mexican food.
Note #2- There is a covered pavilion with some picnic tables and weather permitting, they are a great place to eat!
5 Stars!
