| - Let's rewind a couple weeks. It was a Tuesday, a sort of cloudy/dreary/misty rainy kind of day and it was nearing lunch time. The hunger was starting to creep up and my boring turkey sammich, salad and fruit cup were not lookin' too appealing. I thought about heading to the usual go-to destination in the Strip (Salem's - also a must try), but I just didn't want to risk getting caught in the rain; so, a turkey sammich it was. Right as I was about to take my first bite, my co-worker shouts out, "THE TACO TRUCK IS HERE!" (okay, maybe she didn't shout, but in my recollection of the story, the overwhelming excitement I felt made it seem as if she was shouting). TO HELL WITH THE RAIN! I dropped that stupid sammich as if a police officer were telling me to freeze and drop what I was holding in my hands!
Okay, so the Taco Truck was here. Let's go. I've heard so many awesome things about this joint, it was a no-brainer. Tacos would be my lunch.
I ordered 2 - carne asada with kimchi and the spicy jerk chicken with avocado cream. Both were OUTTA BOUNDS de-freakin-lish! The kimchi, which can overpower it's sidekick, was the perfect accompaniment to the already flavorful beef. It had a slight bite and provided a nice kick to the tastebuds. You know what else gave ya a nice kick in the mouth!? The jerk chicken! It definitely had a wonderful spice to it which was obviously balanced out by the smooth, cool, green avocado cream sauce. As I said to my co-worker once I finished it, I wouldn't mind bathing myself with it (j/k j/k...well...maybe wink wink).
Anyhow, let's fast forward a couple weeks to yesterday - THE TACO TRUCK WAS BACK AGAIN!!! My co-workers & I headed back down to the Blumengarten, where they set up shop, and eagerly waited in line. My time to order had come again - the juicy pork with thai slaw & grilled chicken with bacon & siracha cream, PLEASE AND THANK YOU SENOR! How many times can you say delish without sounding repetitive?! It was DELISH!! The pork! OMMMGGGGaaahhhh, the PORK! It was SO tender, SO flavorful, SO juicy - I could have eaten it by itself without the slaw (but, let's face it, why would you do that? DON'T ALTER THE CHEF'S CREATIONS!). And the chicken/bacon/siracha cream? Get out. Just stop. First of all, you can't go wrong with chicken & bacon anything, but to have the balls to add a siracha cream sauce too!?!?! You, sir, you should be knighted, given the key to the city, granted immunity - whatever you deem is appropriate! The siracha sauce was just perfect; it provided the perfect little twist to the already "classic" combo of chicken & bacon. (I'd probably bathe myself in this too....j/k j/k...well...maybe HA!)
Anyhow, kids, the moral of the story is: GO EAT TACOS. NOW. DO WHATEVER YINZ CAN TO TRACK THIS TRUCK DOWN - TWEET IT, FACEBOOK IT, INSTAGRAM IT, OR JUST SLAP A GPS DEVICE TO THE BACK OF THAT BAD BOY! It's awesome. It's cheap. You're supporting local business and you're supporting a guy who clearly LOVES what he does, and that's hard to say about a lot of ppl these days!
