Driving along Washington in Commerce City, you can't miss the huge tire in front of Guzman Tires…read more Look to the right, directly on the corner of 51st and Washington, and you'll see the Tacos al Vapor Food Truck. (Photo)
And oh my gosh, if you don't stop, you're missing out!
The proprietor (who is friendly and chatty, even with the language barrier and even complimenting my clumsy attempt at Spanish!) offers up Tacos and Burritos from his brightly colored truck's window with a smile on his face.
The tacos are $1-$1.75, ranging from Steak, Al Pastor (Pork), Tongue, Tripe, Barbacoa (which, I have on good authority from the man behind me, is the best around!) and more. The burritos are $5-$6, and if the size of the tacos are any indication, could feed a small Village for awhile.
The Tacos are heaped with diced onions and cilantro, and topped with either Salsa Rojo or Salsa Verde, and Jalapenos on request, with a wedge of lime on the side.
We had 2 Steak (1 Rojo and one Verde) and one Al Pastor Verde. The two fresh corn tortillas were piled high with meats and the toppings were heaped upon them, making these traditional two-bite tacos about 4 Bites for me! The tortillas melted in our mouths. (See photos!)
The Salsas were seasoned perfectly, with the Rojo being the spicier of the two, leaving a pleasant tingling on my tongue and lips but not overpowering. The Verde was absolutely delicious on both the Steak and Pork, and I could eat that on just about anything. (More Photos!)
I literally ran home just to write this review. This was OMGood, and I can't wait to make another stop. I'll get off the highway and take Washington for a few blocks just to drive by and grab some more!
