Minerpalooza. Food trucks. Should be a match made in heaven. The truck itself looks beautiful,…read moreand draws you in. I was hoping for some good food. Instead, I got an order of mediocre tacos. One star may be a little harsh, but 2 stars seems to be a little too much.
The price? $3 per taco. $8 for 3. $11 for 5. The tacos were small-ish, single corn tortilla, street tacos. A little pricey, but if the quality was good, I would be be OK with the price. Problem was, the tacos were bad. Overall, the sauces and accompaniments for the tacos were all good. The flavors were good. The protein on the taco was just not cooked well. Basically, bad execution of some potentially good ideas
The tortillas felt like they may as well have been store-bought and put into the microwave. No chew to the tortilla at all, and not really warmed up.
When you make bulgogi, you need to have something in the marinade to tenderize the meat (Asian pear, kiwi, pineapple, and/or Sprite tend to be the standard choices). Otherwise, you end up with a tough meat. The beef in the tacos was tough, stringy. Seasoned well. But terribly cooked meat.
The pork was a cooked a little better than the beef, but nothing to write home about.
But the worst offense was the fish. If you fry off fish early, and then leave it there, and then put it on a taco, you end up with cold, greasy, soggy mush. Someone has to step in there and realize that they're serving crap food, but unfortunately, no one did.
