Oh, yeah! That's the stuff. Mi Familia Taco Shop #3 is slinging the highest quality food truck…read moreMexican food in Canyon Lake. If you are in the Sattler area near FM 2673 and 306, close to the Horseshoe, or if you aren't, make your way over here to eat these tacos, tortas, and burritos.
The truck is parked next to the Sunoco gas station across the street from River Rose Tavern, and they have a couple of shaded picnic tables for dining on site, plus some big limestone blocks that are fine for sitting while you wait.
I've tried everything in this area over the past 4 years, and Mi Familia was a revelation last night on the way to a show at Whitewater Amphitheater. Instead of being at the mercy of a mediocre stadium concessions meal at the concert venue, we enjoyed a DELICIOUS, relaxed meal with no crowds while we watched the hordes of music fans stream down the sidewalk to enter the Robert Earl Keen and Willie Nelson show.
I had the loaded torta with barbacoa. Good lord! Perfectly juicy, savory, tender meat on a grilled torta bun with fresh avocado, lettuce, tomato, crema, mayo, not sure what else but it was huge and tasty. I say "loaded" because it was, but that's just how Mi Familia dresses their sandwiches. I suppose I could have asked for more specific toppings like cilantro and onions. Next time.
My date went with a beef fajita mega burrito, again stuffed with all the fresh fixings I had, plus Oaxacan cheese, refried beans, and Spanish rice, served in a fresh, stretchy, homemade tortilla. He loved everything about the burrito and the 2 spicy salsas that came on the side.
Was this a *cheap* meal for a taco truck? No, it was $25 before tip, so about $12.50 each, but guys, inflation is on fire in 2024 and we cannot get low cost food any more. I am totally happy with the $ spent, as this food quality was stellar and the service by the sweet tias running the truck was perfect. I cannot wait to come back and work my way through the rest of that menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night. I have my eye on the gorditas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and carne guisada.
