| - It seems I've been hearing nothing but great things about food trucks lately. The inception and subsequent success of Kogi BBQ in L.A. a couple of years ago incited a food revolution like no other. Suddenly, mobile restaurants started to appear one by one, not only in the City of Angels, but major metros across America. I'm glad to have been witness to the shift in the food paradigm and I'm equally as glad to been a part of the experience at Hanshiktaco.
Crammed in the corner of the Lee's Discount Liquor parking lot, Hanshiktaco, although inconspicuous, delivers on so many levels. Firstly, the food is outstanding. Hunger was an egregious understatement at this point in time, so I ordered both a beef taco and the "Nate" dog. I found that the meat in the taco was laden with a smooth, yet unexpectedly spicy marinade which makes all of the difference in my opinion. The soft tortilla the meat was sprinkled in made a perfect pairing. The "Nate" dog was very good, but I wouldn't declare it the best dog in Vegas like many others have suggested. I respectfully give that distinction to Great Links on Craig/Jones.
On to the service.....impeccable. Ron made us feel like we've known him for years and also allowed us to try a free order of his Crazy's Sweet Dough, which was similarly tasty. He also asked us to return for 2nd Sundays, which typically feature other food trucks in the area such as Sloppi Jo's, Snow Ono Shaved Ice and the Slider Truck to name a few. Ruefully, I was unable to return as that was our last day in Vegas, but I will be certain to make the trek back when we return to visit our family again, which is very often.
