It might seem a little shady sitting on the side of N. Lamar, just 1/2 mile shy of the infamous Rundberg intersection -- BUT don't let that stop you from enjoying some legit Mexican tacos. Forget those uber-trendy food trucks that charge $3+ for a taco, this place is the real deal! Tripas, lenguas, chicharrones, oh my!
This taco truck is parked in the parking lot of a shopping center that has various types of shops (tortilleria, money cashing, etc.). I've never seen it move - so I assume it's called this place home for quite awhile. The truck has a tented seating area where you can enjoy all the delicious goodies.
Tacos are less than $2 and they are adorned with cilantro, onion, and a lime wedge -- that's how you dress a real taco! The corn tortillas are homemade and just the right thickness. The carnitas is flavorful and full of crispy bits. The barbacoa is not the best I've had, but I'm not complaining.
They also have tortas, gorditas, sopes, and refreshing aguas frescas (big azz cup for $2.50!) to wash everything down.
They also have two salsas: a spicy red sauce and a cilantro/avocado cream. Both do the tacos justice.
