Messing with Texas
John L. H.

It seems like I have been hearing the praises of Taceaux Loceaux ever since I first joined Yelp. Since the city has convoluted rules regarding food trucks they move around a lot. Every time they visit a location they tweet their current location. Problem is that I never seem to be in the area when they set up. I was determined to try their food so I started paying attention to their pattern. Every Wednesday I noticed they were on Carondelet right off of Calliope. That isn't too far from work so I knew it was only a matter of time before I got to find out what all the fuss was about. The process was super easy. I walked up, ordered and a few minutes later had my food. Who knew a food truck could be so simple? I sure didn't, but I guess simplicity is a big part of the reason food trucks exist. Rather than just stick to one thing, I decided to sample both the brisket (Messing with Texas) and the pork (Carnital Knowledge). The brisket was excellent. I would go so far as to say that it was the best taco I have ever had. I have no idea what they did, but this thing was awesome. The pork was not so good. It was dry and too salty. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I am really glad I tried both. I look forward to the next time the truck is in my area. Let's hope I don't have to wait a couple of years this time.

I'm not sure if it's the allure of the food truck, but I'm loving this place at the moment. Though not completely Mexican/Latin American, this food truck serves up a storm on even weeknights with their brisket, BBQ, and delicious vegetarian options (with clever names). Oh, and did I forget to mention their battered avocado fries? They're the best thing NOLA offers to my belly. I've tried just about half of their options so far, and the brisket was one of my favorites. It erred on the saltier (and somewhat spicy) side, but the cilantro, radish and rest of the garnish gave the taco a fresh twist. I also really enjoyed the BBQ pork, which had a pineapple salsa that was also delicious despite my dislike for sweet in my savory food. The best invention (or adaptation) of theirs, is the avocado fries. At a hefty price of $5 for about half an avocado (sometimes a little more), these battered wonders come with a delicious aoli that will disappear in no time! Not to worry, these minute-appearing eats actually fill you up quicker than you think! Another plus side of this food truck? Its stop is always two steps away from a watering hole. Literally.

I had to experience what everyone was talking about... Taceaux Loceaux, Taceaux Loceaux, Brisket, Taceaux Loceaux...is all I've been hearing. A Taco Craving was in full effect, so I jumped on twitter to find their spot for the night. They tweeted 45 Tchop approx 7pm. So the mission began. Hours passed as I waited for 7pm. I tried to nap but had visions of tacos dancing in my head. Once I arrived to the less than desireable part of town, I safely parked in Rouses lot and staked out the truck. Upon arrival, they weren't open, but I could hear the chatter from the open door of 45 Tchop less than 2 feet away... if I'm going to wait, I might as well have a drink *uhem* I mean, stay out of the cold... into the cloud of smoke I went as I patiently waited their opening. A quick 15mins later, they were open. With no line, they so kindly allowed me to split the double taco tray into 2 types of tacos. --I'm a girl who can't make up her mind -- one BBQ pork and one infamous brisket. A steep $7 and a couple minutes later, I scooped up my plate and rushed off to my car. I normally take photos for the yelp crowd, but these tacos didnt last. The BBQ sauce was so unique - not sure if they make it themselves but its DAMN good! The brisket, slightly charred flavor with a light oil coating on your tongue. Crisp radish and fresh cilantro add texture and another layer of flavors. I loved these tacos!! I actually thought the BBQ pork was better than the brisket. I sat in my car gazing at the truck wanting another taco. Just one, a little more BBQ sauce is all I need. I resisted and quickly regretted it. Rule #1: 2 tacos are not enough. Double up! Rule #2: These tacos are worth great lengths. Rule #3: You're likely to get BBQ sauce all down your shirt - check your clothing before you continue on with your day.

I'm updating and giving taceaux loceaux 5 stars. Consistently good food, fast service, and they let you know on twitter (@tlnola) what their menu is for the evening and where they will be serving. They also take credit cards now. In two months taceaux loceaux has become one of my favorite stops.

I've grabbed tacos from here a number of times and I'm sure I'll continue getting tacos from here in the future. I always get one order of the Texas brisket tacos when I go. The meat is nice and flavorful. At times it can be a little dry but the flavors are still good. The pork taco is also a favorite of mine. The thing that surprised me the most on the menu and what I think the everyone should try is the avocado fries. I'm wary to weird avocado dishes because avocado like bacon people seem to be putting on everything. But the fried avocado slices combined with the dipping sauce they serve it with is just divine.

Ahhhh new tacos so I must try them!! Pictures to come!

Went back to taceaux Loceaux last night and it was two different guys running the truck this time... I didn't know it could be better but it definitely was! The tacos we had last night soared past the last trips quality. The oyster mushroom and the chubster is what we had. Both were 5star worthy. I can say the chubster was 10x's better this time than last time and I didn't even know that was possible... Who ever was running the truck last night was on point!!

With high expectations from Anthony Bourdain and high frustrations from not being able to track them down the first couple times (my fault) I was excited to try these tacos. There aren't tons of taco options in New Orleans m, either. I had done a bit of a food crawl already this day so I just got an order of the Texas Brisket tacos ("messin with Texas" is the name). The $4 per taco is borderline overpriced to me, but they squeak by. These tacos aren't rigidly authentic but still very good! The Brisket was allowed to take center stage and it was very well cooked and very tasty. I wish I had the tummy space for more tacos as the Chubster (ground beef) tacos were coming out one after another and highly recommended (and after a ground beef taco tragedy in Nashville *cough* Mas Tacos *cough* I was curious to see them done right). I would certainly return!

I'm on a mission to eat at restaurants founded by all the judges and this was my second after Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips in NYC. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to order (here's looking at you - short rib birria), but I figure that I can always come back on a return trip and stuck to more traditional Mexican fare. My friends and I shared an order of the chips, salsa, and guacamole of which all three were heavenly. Don't even get me started on those fried plantain chips. I could munch on those for days. For my main course, I ordered a carne asada plate and had to have a Mexican Coke to accompany it all. There was no room for dessert, as much as I know it would have been delicious. I loved the decor and the big mural on the wall, too. Our server was wonderful and patient with us (maybe more with me due to my excitement). I'll definitely need to get back when I can enjoy a margarita while I'm at it.

The complimentary salsa was tasty, and my margarita was delicious, though I would've liked it a little stronger. My mom ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were flavorful, fresh, and actually well seasoned, which was refreshing compared to other bland fajitas I've had lately. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were absolutely amazing. The pricing felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. Our server, Linda, was wonderful, and the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. I also loved that some of the staff spoke Spanish, so I got to practice a little. Overall, such a fun experience, and I can't wait to come back.
