| - New food truck in CLT...yeah!
When I visited Tin Kitchen during the South End Food Truck Rally I was pleasantly surprised by the array of tasty taco options written on their menu board. Despite being super busy, the dudes behind the Tin Kitchen were quite friendly and happy to serve the masses!
While I was jonesin' for the Thai shrimp tacos, unfortunately, because of their popularity, those little crustacean envelopes were sold out. No worries, though, there were a handful of other delightful looking options to try!
For $16, hubs and I split the beef brisket tacos & the pork belly tacos (3 each) with kimchi and hoisin sauce. Of the two, I favored the brisket quite a bit more. It was tender, savory and perfectly paired with a crunchy slaw. I was also a fan of the green rice as a side; it was a nicely flavored accompaniment and not the least bit mushy. No one wants mushy rice!
As for the other taco plate, the pork belly was nicely cooked, but the hoisin sauce was almost saccharin sweet and overpowered the pork and the kimchi.
Overall, Tin Kitchen is off to a great start and I'm looking forward to catching them again soon!
