Taco Trucks

I watch the Food Network and know that gourmet food trucks are all the rage in many parts of the country. But here in Texas there's really only one type- the Taco Truck. 


If you see one, stop and try it out. N. knows his way around a taco and he swears the Borracho Beans and Tacos al Pastor (pork) are the best from this truck located on the south side of San Antonio. These places are not for vegetarians- quesadillas are the only thing you can find without meat. Also, be prepared for some types of meat that you don't find back east- menudo (beef stomach), lengua (beef tongue) and other interesting parts of the animal.... And whatever you do ALWAYS order the corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are only for gringos. And really the corn tortillas have a better flavor and are actually better for you.
Make sure you add the homemade salsa (usually pretty hot) and a squirt of fresh limon (lime.)

Try the Jarritos soda. They are far more interesting than a regular soda. The Tamarindo (tamarind) is my favorite.
