| - I was expecting a low key taco truck....but it seemed like a big party was going on when we pulled up to the auto shop lot where Sinaloa is parked! The parking lot was packed and there were people hanging out and eating tacos on top of their cars. I would say this taco truck has the equivalent atmosphere of a night market in Asia. The line was pretty long, all the way back to the curb when we got there with at least 20-30 people milling around eating/talking. We were by far the odd ones out....there was not a word of English to be heard while we waited. The tacos were $1.50 each and come with onions/cilantro, except for a few specialty items like lengua/tripe which were $2.00. They have the assortment of tortas/burritos/quesadillas/mulitas, etc as well. But I was there to try the hand made corn tortillas, so I went with my favorites, al pastor and lengua. You can also order grilled onions and jalapenos for your tacos as well. The lengua was the large tender chunks that I like and the al pastor was tender and flavorful. Both were delicious even after packing them to go and driving the 20 minutes home. They also have a condiment bar off to the right of the truck with pineapple salsa, cucumbers, beets, lime wedges, green and red salsa, and this guac dressing. Look for the little plastic baggies to put the goodies in....being a rookie, I started packing sauces in the baggies but later was informed by the workers that the to go orders come with the red chili sauce and guac dressing on the plate. Expect a little bit of a wait time since the tortillas are made in the truck. The man handing out the orders was also kind enough to realize we couldn't understand Spanish...so he made it a point to get our number and bring us our order =)
A few side notes, they also take credit cards and a hot dog cart is over on the left if you have a child who won't eat tacos, and you can even pick up a boot leg DVD from the hot dog cart =P.
