Taco truck
Tortilla tasted real and the maíz was so authentic in taste.
This place is a MUST try! I actually found it on yelp and then looked them up on Facebook. I am in Eagle pass for an overnight work trip and I try to eat local often. Last time I was in Eagle pass I tried a different delicious Mexican restaurant, but this one takes that ranking. It seems like a mom and pop shop. With two guys working the truck and a little girl (who I assume is the daughter of one of the men) sitting, enjoying life, watching videos. That made me feel welcomed really. To know that I am eating at a place that helps a local family and their local business. But, the cherry on top was the delicious, authentic, impressive (from a food truck!), and passionate food that they served me.
I will say there isn't a lot of room to eat there. With there only being one table, but regardless even if you take it home. It will still taste fresh.
Here's what I ordered:
- Tacos Asada Maíz with grilled onions only: $9.
- Regular Quesadilla Asada Harina: $6.50
- Cheese fries: $6.50
- 2 canned sodas: $1.50 EACH.
TOTAL COST: $25.97
(Wish it would have prompted me to leave a tip on the POS, but it did not.)
Reviews of each items down below:
Tacos- asada meat is very nice and juicy not dried out like most food trucks I've tried. The sautéed onions are a good consistency. The team other is actually perfect even for me driving around a while.
Cheese fries- the fries are actually cooked really well and that makes them a good consistency when the cheese is sitting on them. They are not soggy like normal cheese fries and still have a good hot crunch to them!! The cheese sauce is actually the one I like the most. I don't know the name or brand, but every time I try this cheese sauce I know it's the best one. Because it isn't spicy at all. It tastes like cheese and it's so rich and nice.
Quesadilla- the quesadilla was really good. Good temperature stayed hot while I drove. The only thing I didn't like was the cheese selection. I am not sure what kind of cheese it was, but it wasn't really that gooey melted cheese that I normally get in a quesadilla even the ones from Mexico. But I really liked the overall flavor of the other quesadilla aspect.
My ranking of my items would be:
1st choice- Asada Tacos:
overall a good selection. What made me make this my number one pick was that I am very plain when it comes to my tacos. I don't like cilantro, lime, salsa, nothing really. So, I always get super dry meat and tortillas since there isn't that moisture from the other products. This asada taco were moist, warm, and so delicious. I didn't feel like I was eating jerky.
2nd Choice- Cheese Fries:
These cheese fries when I tell you were like a great texture, but kept their crispness even being drenched in cheese sauce. That made everything so much better as it was just cheese and soggy fries.
3rd choice- Asada Quesadilla:
The overall product was good. The downfall that made me choose it as my third choice was the cheese selection. I wasn't a fan of that, but I think I would try it again and ask if I can sub the cheese with a different kind.
Go and try this place. You won't regret it. read more
