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.

Messin' With Texas (Brisket) $8

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!

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!!

It was love at first bite!!!! When I chomped down into the shrimp taceaux, I almost past out! It was amazing. Mainly because of that special sauce added to the taco that makes it very unique. It instantly appeals to the senses with its tangy, sweet flavor as it explodes from your taco. My first time trying it was during a movie production school project last year. I had to pick up the food for the day and when I first saw the truck I thought, "What is this concoction?" But, boy when I made it back on set! People were all over those tacos. I knew that they would satisfy all my hunger needs and I would eat them more often. Just gotta find that truck! I haven't seen around yet! Hahaha! Can anyone help me find it?

I came on Wednesday, which is game night! So. Much. Fun!!! It starts at 7pm, and it's not like your typical trivia. You have to come to understand. The food is so good. I ordered the jerk chicken plate from Johnny's and it was fresh and authentic Jamaican food. You won't be disappointed. I've always thought New Orleans needed more food trucks, and this is a thought. There is a small parking lot in front of the food truck lot, and you can also find parking on the street. Added plus, bottomless mimosas for $13+ tax on Sundays!

Came with rice, plantains and greens. The chicken was on the bone and there were lots of little pieces to pick through. I didn't mind but some may. I came because a friend told me about the snowball truck that has dairy free condensed milk! She mistakenly told me he had a nectar flavor so I had my heart set on that. I ended up with an ice cream flavor with dairy free condensed milk. The condensed milk was delicious! The syrup wasn't as sweet and flavorful as I like my snowballs to be. I would definitely go back to try a different flavor. He makes all of his syrups with natural ingredients and said he may try to figure out a nectar flavor. My biggest complaint and the reason for the less than stellar review was the garbage smell that permeated the area. I tried relocating to three different tables to escape it. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My best guess is a hidden dumpster somewhere. It was awful and hard for me to enjoy my food when there was a smell of garbage. Lots of space to sit, bathrooms and a bar area for drinks. There was also a live band playing music. It was a nice touch.

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus.

Decided to try some chicken from this place at the Cluck Fest. My cousin said he's had food from…read morethem before and that he really enjoys it. The menu had Jerk chicken, curry chicken, and brown stew chicken. I wish they would have listed the sides on the menu as well, so it wouldn't leave potential customers wondering what comes with the chicken. I planned to get the jerk chicken and my mom was going to get the brown stew chicken. My mother and I aren't eating rice right now, so we asked if we could get a plate without rice and peas and just double the veggies/ greens. He said he did not have enough veggies to do it for two plates. I said okay well if we get one plate can you do it on that one and he said ok. So instead of purchasing two plates we just purchased one jerk chicken plate. The chicken was good and the greens were flavorful. I wish there could've been another veggie offered like cabbage so I could've had cabbage and then greens, but overall I enjoyed the food. Only other tip besides adding the sides to the menu, is that I think they would've benefited from having another staff member. It was only one guy plating the food and taking the money/ orders. There was someone else who would come to refill the food but they didn't help serve.
