It’s really not a replacement for our dearly departed…err…relocated Sabor A Mexico, but you have to applaud a taco truck that changes in its axels for 4 walls and is located within bike riding distance of my front door!
The first thing you’ll notice when you come in is the lack of decor. The owner, a really nice fella that ran Rudy’s Catering/taco truck, could use some more seating, and a salsa/condiment bar. Oh, and they’re not open for lunch on Sundays.
Good thing that the pro (carne asada) outweighs the cons. If you like tacos with hot sauce that you can taste 15 minutes later, and slightly-but-not-too-greasy asada – then you’ll dig this place. Al pastor wasn’t my favorite, but at $1.25 a pop, all of the taco meats (including buche and lengua) are above average. Doesn’t seem like the place to be ordering burritos or tortas to me, but they’re available if you’re that kind of freak.
Cattaragus at Venice, north side of the street. Look for a taco truck with a NOW OPEN sign outside, and don’t park on the sidewalk in front of the liquor store. Or, if you like shouting matches, go for it!
