Is there ever a time when I don't crave a Carne Asada Street Taco, of course there is but when I pass one of these roadside vendors I immediately start thinking about them again. I often come this way and I have passed this particular Taco Shop many times and never stopped, but today I took a left on Route 15A from Route 44 and then cut through the Shell Station parking lot and found a space just in front of this food trailer. The staff today were two young employees relaxing under the pop-up tent behind the portable kitchen when I arrived, as hot as it was outdoors I think it was cooler under the tent than inside the small trailer that had the door propped open.
The greeting and introduction was friendly and they wasted no time preparing my request - two steak tacos (I had them omit the onion). My next question was predictable when asked what type of sauce did I prefer "red" or "green" hmmmmm "which is hotter, yes I'll definitely take the red then". It turned out to be a great choice, not only was it very very very hot it was so delicious. The little corn tortillas were filled with plenty of grilled steak that was very flavorful and topped with a cabbage salad and lots of freshly broken cilantro (very fresh and very fragrant). I admit I am no way a connoisseur of street tacos but I know what I like but I'm ignorant when it comes to constructing them but I did learn something today that I will incorporate in my own kitchen - chop the steak small, very small the small tender corn tortillas can only take so much resistance without ripping, the small chop steak will allow you to over fill them and allow you to take a full bite without this thing collapsing in your lap (these are three bites max so get plenty of them if it's a meal). I ordered two for a drive-by snack for $3.50 excluding a nice tip. It was a sampling that will bring me back for sure.... read more
