| - This truck has become my Thursday night go-to, especially since they park their wheels just outside Birdsong and NoDa Brewing Cos. Their spicy and flavorful Mexican-fusion fare is a great pairing with some hoppy craft-made beer. Vegetarians rejoice, you've got some fantastic options here too.
Just belly up to the side of the truck and take a gander at their menu, prominently printed on the side. Tacos, sliders, and quesadillas dominate the current line-up. Choose your protein and there are options a plenty. The tortilla or slider buns end up just being a convenient edible wrapper, and that's not a bad thing.
Where things get interesting, my foodie friends, is the craziness going on insider that wrapper. A yellow-curried channa masala with goat cheese crumbles and green onions is a flavor bomb. Savory and warm, yet with a nice, sharp bite. Contrast that with the 30-minute kimchi. Spicy and lighter, with a great kick that mellows with melted Mexican cheese blends. Add in the saltiness of some pork belly and you have another masterpiece in your hands.
There are sides here too, ranging from chips with house-made pico to hot and spicy pickled vegetables that are both healthy and a strong kick in the pants. Great add-ons to round out the meal.
For a food truck, this mobile kicthen has some serious creative engines under the hood. You can't find this at any typical taco stand. Do check out their nightly specials too, duck and scallop are regulars here and should not be missed if and when offered. Same for their desserts.
Just know you'll pay a bit more too for this taco upgrade- most tacos run about $3 a piece and a quesadilla will go for approx. $7. Not bad, all things considering, but thank goodness they take credit cards as your cash will go fast to make a full meal here. It's worth it, though, for a taco that is more than the sum of its parts.
