West side of the road across from UHaul. Because of a median it's best to approach Southbound on 14th.
I finally made it to the little blue food truck.
Everything on the menu is tempting, but the one thing on their Facebook page that screamed out to me... " You have to try this!" Was their quesa taco...
I couldn't exactly see in the truck, but how I imagine these are prepared is...
A tortilla is placed down on the grill... Piled with cheese until it melts and overflows and the edges of the cheese start to crisp up on the cooking surface. Or maybe it starts cheese down, the tortilla is placed on top, and then it's turned? Then the meat, onion, and cilantro are piled on it. It's scooped up and placed in a serving container...
I ordered one al pastor (marinated pork) quesa taco, two birria (slow cooked tender beef in a adobo style marinate) quesa tacos, a cup of consume, and a bottle of Coke. $13 before tip.
Service at the truck was very good at ordering, during payment, and pick up.
I've often wondered why I didn't see any videos, or pictures, of someone eating their item after dipping it into the consume. Well... The area of my goatee between my lower lip and chin now has the same color tint as a certain prominent leader... While the taste was phenomenal it's not a good look on me.
The truck has an area with tables and chairs under a canopy off to the side. To properly enjoy the consume you don't want to be in your car. Forego the AC and sweat it out if you have a long commute. Anyone know a good detailer?
Just kidding. All possible major catastrophes were avoided today.
Aside from being a messy endeavor everything was cooked perfect. I can find no fault with my quesa tacos or visit in general. I'd definitely order these again.
The one thing I might change... On the menu board I'd erase "(birria broth)" beside consume and replace it with "(nectar of the gods)". It's that good.
As the quesa tacos appeared to already have enough consume from the meat, and I was making a mess, I used it sparingly from the cup with my meal. To get a good feel for it I grabbed a piece of white sandwich bread when I got home and ate it while dipping into the consume. Concentrated beef flavor, an enjoyable seasoning, a little grease/fat added to the richness, cilantro floated on the surface. I don't know what goodness lies beneath, but what I have left sure won't go to waste...and I'll find out. Might be dipping some grilled cheese sandwiches into it later tonight...
I didn't try the hot sauces. With the consume there was no need. Theyre in the refrigerator. I'll use it for something in the next day or so.
Good stuff. read more
