I hope everyone has a good new year and keep sending in those taco tips.
10. Gorditas Lupita - Carne Asada w/ salsa habanero
9. Flying Pig Truck- tamarind duck taco w/ duck confit,pickled red beets, toasted almonds, radish sprouts, & mandarin oranges
tamarind duck far right
8. Kogi - calamari taco w/ sesame salsa roja
7. Taqueria Sanchez - lomo(beef loin) taco w/ onion, tomato, and jalapeno salsa.
6. Tacos El Korita - carne asada w/ spicy salsa roja
5. El Chato - al pastor w/ salsa chile arbol
4. Sergio's Tacos - carne asada w/ onions, cilantro, salsa roja
3. Knockout Taco Truck - blackened shrimp taco w/ bacon & cheese grits, cajun salsa.
2. Tacos Leo - al pastor w/ pineapple that is carved to order by skilled taquero.
1. Tacos Tamix - al pastor w/ pineapple. Both Tacos Leo and Tamix are brilliant, but the edge goes to Tamix because of superior salsas
I don't know who you are or what you do, but you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought Leo's was the end all, be all. Heading to Pico & WestMore tonight (and if they're not there tonight (NYD), then tomorrow, until my mission is complete.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing the research for us, man. Greatly appreciated...
I am looking forward to trying Al Pastor with Pineapple.
ReplyDeleteI believe Norma's Tacos in Pasadena is a new challenger that deserves a serious look.
ReplyDeleteThis is the greatest blog post in the history of words.
ReplyDeleteUhhh....No Tito's Tacos?
ReplyDeleteBandini, to the extent possible, could you specify in your reviews what times these trucks are in the locations you mention?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what's the final word regarding the legality of trompos? Do the spits just have to be manufactured according to commercial specifications, or what?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Bigmouth,
ReplyDeleteyeah..i'll add that to the reviews. For the most part taco trucks open up when the sun goes down. A lot don't have a set time.
I'm sure trompos are regulated under the same rules as rotisseries. When the trompo is outside the truck then its technically "illegal". Though this is enforced pretty arbitrarily.
These all look uh-mazing. But the more I read your blog, the more I wish we had taco trucks in Dallas and it makes me shed taco shaped tears.
ReplyDeleteI love sabroso's in the valley, corbin and van owen, everything on the menu is excellent.
ReplyDeleteOmg is all I have to say. I am a taco fanatic. I am a taco fiend.
