    The Lighthouse

    If a restaurant, a mercadito, a carniceria, or a food truck offers street style tacos in the Triad, Yelper Michael P will find them, try them, and review them, and all I have to do is follow along behind him - a bit lazy perhaps, but kinda cool, cause like Michael, I do like tacos and such! This truck is his latest find, apparently now firmly ensconced in a parking lot in the front of a mobile phone store, just down E Bessemer Avenue from another great little taco source, Taqueria Latinos. Unfortunately, this is a butt ugly stretch of Bessemer Avenue, similar to if not worse than, stretches of recently re-named Gate City Blvd, and apparently still in the political and financial blind spots of the governmental PTB - but perhaps bike lanes are just around the corner! The entire operation is typical as to menu, pricing, and service, resulting in some pretty darn good tacos - throw in a flavorful Burrito with Carne Azada, some very different, very tasty Rice & Beans, all "artfully" done. and you have yourself a really nice lunch of authentic street food. The tacos I tried were the al pastor, carne azada, and chorizo, all nicely decorated & flavored with chopped, raw white onion & cilantro, and came with grilled onions, a giant, grilled jalapeno pepper, and a red, house hot sauce with some noticeable heat. Once the onions, sliced jalapeno, and hot sauce were added, this became an excellent taco - and all for $1.25 each! I hope on my next visit to get the verde sauce, as well. The burrito is quite nice once you're well into it, the outer edges are rather dry tortilla. Inside is a nice assortment of thinly sliced beef, tomatoes, and lettuce - throw in some of the hot sauce, and you are good to go. The rice is a very white version with peas, carrot, and corn, & when well salted, quite tasty. The beans are basically pintos, in a rather soupy liquid, also tasty. I recommend this taco truck for your consideration!

    This taco wagon sets up shop in the parking lot of a closed down tire shop on Bessemer Ave. I spotted it Saturday and wheeled in to check it out and had some pretty awesome tacos. They do the street style tacos, theirs are 2 small corn tortillas per taco with your meat option topped with onions and cilantro. They also do gorditas, tortas, sopes, burritos and a few other items. They had a couple of folding tables with chairs set up if you want to have sit down and eat. I tried chicken and al pastor tacos and they were great. The chicken is cooked with spices and peppers & onions like a chicken tinga, both were very good. Tacos are $1.25 each.

True to its namesake, there are brightly colored folk art designs throughout the restaurant in line with their Mexican heritage. The trees that make it look overgrown from the outside actually serve to allow sunlight while masking the surrounding city, facilitating the transformation that makes you feel like you're in Mexico City. We came at an off-peak time in the afternoon and it was nearly empty. We were seated immediately and the service was prompt and attentive. I was pleased to see some unique menu offerings like Birra Ramen and Sopes that deviate from the standard American-friendly fare in most places. Drinks were good - we had a regular house margarita, a triple berry margarita, and a jalapeño cucumber margarita. All were tasty and I would order again. I tried to order a Mezcalita, since it's not often I see a Mezcal option, but they were out of that particular liquor. We tried to get street corn as an appetizer, which they were also out of. We got cheese and salsa with chips instead. The chips were hot and fresh, the salsa generous with the cilantro, and the cheese bold and warm. For entrees we had the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the Birra Ramen. The quesadilla was good, though the beans on the side were pretty bland. The ramen was a unique and very tasty option, and I was not able to finish such a generous portion. I think I'd leave the cheese out next time since it made some weird textures, but the flavor was great overall. Overall, there are some small things to improve (having menu items in stock, bland beans) and the prices were a bit high, but we had a great experience overall. I'm not often in the area, but I'll certainly eat here again if I am!

The name Bandito Bodega is extremely accurate, as the store itself is a small and unassuming looking place, with a charmingly decorated interior and some indoor and outdoor seating. It was very convenient to order at the cash register as soon as you walk in, and the staff was very patient and efficient. I adored the unpretentiousness and individuality of the place. It did not need any flashiness or grandeur- just some good food and good vibes. Now the food: WOW I was blown away by the pork belly garlic fried rice. The pork belly was so incredibly fatty and perfectly crispy, the shrimp add-on was juicy and well seasoned, and the fried egg over a bed of DELICIOUS steamy garlicky fried rice was absolutely perfection. And they do NOT skimp on the portions. This heaping bowl was just $15, and it was generously topped with the pork belly. This will easily be a place I plan to frequent often, for the convenience, food, and charm.

The young lady who took my order was really friendly and prompt. By the time I arrived, my order was already ready and sitting under a hot lamp, waiting for me. The same young lady from the phone warmly greeted me and checked me out. As I was finishing the prompts on the screen, she came around to bag up my order. She took care to place napkins, chopsticks, and a fork in the bag and to hand it to me directly. Overall, it was a great experience in service. The ambiance is casual and relaxed, typical of any fast-casual restaurant. At my earliest opportunity, I opened the box, which was stuffed full of pork belly, garlic noodles, broccoli, and scallions. The noodles had just the right amount of sauce, and the pork belly was perfectly cooked. The portion was so large that I ate some for lunch and finished the rest for dinner, and didn't need anything else either time. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning.

One of my favorite menu items is the taco salad something about the nostalgia of that shell gets me. It never last long enough for a good photo. The company has done a good job or ensuring that it doesn't feel like a fast causal dining spot but rather a restaurant with a quick service option. I love the separate full service bar offering a good assortment of drinks, good prices and even better specials. Overall I love the space. The updated/ upscale decor makes it feel cozy and I am a big fan of the stone work seen throughout. Super easy and available parking is also a plus.

I love chorizo so ordered the chori-pollo. It was enough for 2 meals (yea leftovers). Rice, beans, guacamole, lettuce/tomato. It cones with a couple of tortillas, salsa and chips. The salsa was okay and the chips could have been better. It's standard add-on, if not I could easily skip them. Definitely had better. The choripollo was delicious and very fresh. For this type of fast food set up, certainly well done. I liked the addition of tortillas. Very good.

    I was eyeing this place for an entire week and happy I tried it out being that I'm from California,…read morethe anticipation was quite high! It's a food truck located in Petra's parking lot and open hella late, which is a WIN! I ordered 4 Quesa birria tacos, Birria ramen and something that looked like a mini quesadilla, I'm unsure of the name. The ramen was very flavorful although it felt like something was missing compared to Cali but overall very delicious! The only thing I didn't appreciate was the price. The cup was tiny and priced at $11. There wasn't enough room for additional consommé (juice) in the cup. I honestly think the cup could be a little larger for $11 or add more meat. My friend says the Quesa Birrias ($17) were good but they still prefer La Costenita's. Personally I don't like La Costenita's, because the meat and taco shells are extremely dry. But that's why we're all entitled to our opinions and preferences. :) The item that looked like a quesadilla was really tasty and only $7! It reminded me of a taco sandwich lol. The lady that took my order could of been a bit friendlier but I understand most people in NC aren't friendly at all. She insisted I add cheese after repeatedly explaining I do not like cheese and advised to dip my taco sandwich in the ramen but there wasn't enough juice in my ramen cup to even attempt that. Overall the meal was delicious, I've tried many places and this is at the top of my list. I would return when I'm craving something authentic but the pricing needs to be adjusted for what you get. Give it a try and tell me what you think!
