Mexican food trucks have existed in this city long before The Flying Stove came along, though their…read morelocations primarily traveled via word of mouth, and they were all located up near NoMar. Monica's fits in among those rustic food trucks, though she takes a modern-day approach to her business, roaming the city and posting her location on Facebook. The food trucks offers the typical tacos, burritos, and chile rellenos of many other Mexican restaurants, but the draw is her tamales, to the point where it's the only thing stenciled on the truck. Make no mistake, the tamales are the real deal - super moist masa stuffed with copious amounts of tender chicken or pork. There's other restaurants that do better versions of al pastor tacos, and the green chile chicken casserole, while interesting, is best considered a homey offering from the Mexican grandmother you never had. But the tamales are top notch, and worth tracking down wherever Monica decides to set up shop for the day.

I normally don't leave reviews like this, but after two separate experiences involving pricing and…read moreadvertised drink sizes/prices, I feel other customers should be aware. Tonight I ordered what the menu/server represented as a 21-ounce draft beer. When it arrived, I questioned the waitress because the glass did not look anywhere close to 21 ounces. She assured me it was their 21-ounce beer. After I finished it, I ordered a 12-ounce bottle of beer so I could see how much it held and poured it into the same type of glass to get an idea of the actual size. It was obvious there was no way another 9 ounces was going to fit in that glass. The waitress spoke with the owner, she initially said it was glass vendors fault for sending the wrong glasses. Then, she came to our table with one of the glasses filled completely to the rim with water. The owner initially said, "You're telling me you don't think this glass will hold 16 ounces?" I explained that wasn't even the issue -- I had been sold and charged for a 21-ounce beer. She then poured the completely full glass into a measuring cup. It measured 16 ounces -- filled all the way to the rim. So the glass physically holds approximately 16 ounces maximum, yet customers are being sold and charged for a 21-ounce draft in that glass. With a normal pour and room for the head, the actual amount of beer would be even less than 16 ounces. What makes this more concerning is that this isn't my first pricing issue here. On a previous visit, someone in our group ordered a margarita advertised as half price. When I received my bill, it wasn't half price -- it was $1 more than half. When I questioned the waitress, she told me the owner makes them charge it that way. At the time, I let it go. After tonight, I don't consider this a simple mistake. The owner was shown firsthand that a glass they are representing as 21 ounces holds only 16 ounces when filled literally to the rim. I have no problem paying the advertised price for what I order. But if you're charging customers for 21 ounces, they should receive 21 ounces. And if something is advertised as half price, the customer should be charged half price. Customers shouldn't have to measure their drinks or calculate their bill to make sure they are being charged correctly. Mistakes happen. But once the owner personally measures the glass and confirms that it holds only 16 ounces maximum while customers are being charged for 21 ounces, there really isn't any question about the discrepancy. I'm posting the photo because people can see the glass and the 12-ounce bottle for themselves. I don't expect anything for free. I simply expect to receive what I'm paying for and what is advertised. After two separate experiences involving advertised pricing/quantity not matching what I actually received or was charged, I no longer feel comfortable trusting their pricing. If you eat or drink here, check your bill and pay attention to what you're actually getting.

My hopes that this Mexican…read morerestaurant's heritage would provide a unique take on its cuisine were largely met with the standard fare that is found at the better places around here. Not that this is a bad thing, especially given its location - the city needs good Mexican food to perpetuate to all of its corners, and Anahuac takes advantage of being the best restaurant of its type that far south on Senaca; the next closest place is El Mexico Cafe - which doesn't really count - and Lalo's, more than a couple of miles up the road. The food is confined to about two dozen platter entrees, so there's no escaping rice and beans. One of those platters includes three tacos, though, so there's still an opportunity to try one of their pretty large list of meats. They have guisados - perhaps one of their few hints towards their Tex-Mex heritage - so I got the verde version of it, along with the barbacoa, which is only available on the weekends. At the recommendation of the lady taking my order, my third taco was the carne asada. There wasn't a lot of gravy in the meat of my guisado taco, but the double-wrapped affair was still tender and had the hints of beef that was marinated in a green sauce. Barbacoa was standard in the way that I've become spoiled by decent barbecued beef. The cut tasted more like a braised brisket, but there were still some good spices in the mix. The carne asada was more tender than I tend to encounter at other restaurants. One notable aspect of Anahuac is the homemade tortillas, which make the difference when they fry them and give them to you with some tomatillo salsa. Even if there was a heavy-handed application of salt to the salsa, it still tasted good on the chips of applied directly to the tacos. Or rice. Or beans. Or mouth. Anahuac isn't far and away better than many of the other places I've encountered, but they're in a good spot and the tortillas, carne asada, and the guisados serve as selling points. They're certainly a good option for Mexican food if you're in the area.

And if you're in Nomar Plaza, you currently have three trucks from which to choose. The first, Tacos El Torito, have already been lauded by me previously. The second, Pollos y Carnes, was intended to be the subject of my Mexican craving this evening, but a New Challenger Approaches in Los Dos Costas, a windowless truck that isn't as much designed for you to grab and go as it is centered around the provided tables and condiments, to share and fully embrace the environment. In the beginning, I wasn't even sure if this was a business. The truck wasn't quite as flashy as the others, and the lack of window meant that to order I had to talk directly to the proprietor, a part-time pipe-layer spending some time off working with the rest of his family in the truck. As he sat, ate, and talked with me, I learned his family is from a city near Acapulco, which introduced a few new elements not normally seen in the Mexican cuisine around here. But I'll get to that. (HIMYM Reference #1) I needed some help when I confidently walked under that sunshade and quickly realized I had no idea what was going on, and he came over to talk me through things. I expressed an interest in tacos, and was explained that they offered four primary types of tacos: tripa, suadero, carne asada, and al pastor. When listing these fillings, he quickly dismissed the tripa, suggesting that I "probably wouldn't like that". Now, true, tripa is not normally one of my go-to taco staples, but CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (HIMYM Reference #2), if only because he clearly mistook me for an average Wichitan. Over the course of our meal, as we talked about our respective livings and my thoughts on Wichita's Mexican food (no surprise we shared similar sentiments about Connie's), his comments towards how I ate and my appreciation of spice inspired no little pride when he told me I ate like a Mexican. Gloating aside, it shouldn't be any surprise when you step up to a place like this that your tacos are going to be double-wrapped and topped with onions and cilantro. The al pastor was great; the carne asada was good. The tripa was tender, not rubbery, and cleaned well. As for the suadero - it's referred to as "rose meat", and aside from agreeing that it's beef, the Internet can't seem to arrive at a consensus as to an official description of it. The suadero I had was pulled like carnitas, and had a little bit of smoky crisp from the grill. Certainly something to try, if not only because it was my most enjoyed taco, but also because it's not something you're likely to find in many other places around here. Add on some of the community container of carrot-onion-habanero mixture sitting on the table, maybe some salsa, and it's as good as it's going to get. Before I insisted on tacos, I was also recommended on a fried chicken and rice dish that received high praise from a fellow diner. Given their costal tendencies (and name), they also have some seafood offerings, like shrimp and ceviche. At it's best, food isn't about the ingredients, but the experience of breaking bread, and sharing experiences. I came for the former, but I left with the latter, and it made the meal that much better.

Although they charge you fifty cents per cup for extra sauce, the salsas had kick and flavor to them. So no complaint there.

But Los Dos Costas won hands down. I'll be back Los Dos Costas.
