| - Located outside of the Little Rock Food Market, directly off of i-85, is a very generic looking white food truck. My dad claimed that this truck had the best tacos compechanas and sope de carnitas; let me tell you, both authentic (said having never been to Mexico!) and most delicious food truck experience I've been to in a while (plus the $2 and $3 price tag does not hurt!) Oh my goodness, where to even begin with the delightful experience. You'll typically find this truck outside of Little Rock Food Market daytime and late nights. Although, per Charlotte food truck laws, they occasionally move across the street to the Tienda Mexicana La Hidalguelse parking lot. You'll find four old bar seats outside the food truck, but most people take their food to go. The neighborhood around the truck isn't exciting, or particularly inviting, so I'd recommend a home trip or park visit.
Tacos campechanos is where it's at, this is a type of taco that combines multiple meats, usually pork and beef. They serve it on two corn tortillas with onions, cilantro and you can top it with a green (guacamole) or red (chile) hot sauce. They are definitely using chorizo in their campechanos because it's spicy and delicious! The sope de carnitas is beef served on a thicker corn 'tortilla' topped with lettuce, cilantro and sour cream. Both of the items were delicious, although I loved the spicy flavor of the taco. My box also came with a wedge of lime and to-go of the green hot sauce plus it was only $5 for both items. If you're looking for something quick, delicious and filling, I highly recommend stopping at Tacos La Hidalguense; I know I'll be back!
