The Tacos Colima food truck can be found in the Star Mercantile parking lot and is currently open M-F 10:30am to 5:00pm. A higher star rating from me is warranted, however one of the challenges tied to any food truck is the availabilty of seating, shade, etc. There is one table with chairs available however and in our case today we were taking out regardless. The truck and work areas are clean and the menu is clear and concise (unlike some of the hastily handwritten ones for many food trucks).
Although "tacos" provides the initial draw, the menu for Tacos Colima is varied. Other than tacos one can choose from burritos, super burritos, tortas, flautas, quesadillas, sopes, tostadas, and even a Torta Cubana sandwich. Protein options include pork carnitas, chorizo, chicharron (+$3), lengua (+$3), cabeza, shrimp, chicken, asada, pork adovada.
We both went with burritos today - a carnitas Super Burrito - slightly larger and includes sour cream, avocado, and cheese - and a regular chorizo burrito - the regular is a simple beans, rice, and meat version. Being a chorizo "aficionado" I was more than pleased with my "plain" burrito. The soft tort was filled with an equal amount of chorizo, beans and rice. I was very happy with my choice. The portion was great for $7. The carnitas Super Burrito ($11) was also great, and large enough to opt for leftovers. My dining partner has also tried the carnitas tacos here which she stated were great. Nothing flashy, just really great, basic eats. Each of our plates also included shredded lettuce, thin sliced radishes, and a lime wedge. The burritos were also foil wrapped and were still nice and hot when we got them home.
Such a great place to have close to us in Star. Very reasonably priced, fresh ingredients, and very friendly service. Highly-recommended. read more
