| - Tin Kitchen is a food truck that I have repeatedly seen at breweries (Noda and Sycamore, just to name a few) but never felt compelled to try. That all ended one Sunday Funday when I found myself hungry and perched at Sycamore. Since they were conveniently located on site, I decided it would be as good as any time to finally try them. I placed my order for the buffalo cauliflower and lime shrimp tacos. I was then shocked when I heard my name called about two minutes later letting me know it was ready.
I raced back to my seat and dove into the cauliflower taco. I was underwhelmed. All I could taste was buffalo sauce (that tasted like some of the mediocre bottled stuff) and nothing else. Maybe if they consider roasting the cauliflower beforehand, it would enhance the taste. The bleu cheese crumbles added absolutely nothing. I would suggest they make those thicker pieces. The cilantro-lime shrimp tacos were okay. I found the cilantro lime aioli to be watery and lacking real flavor. Nothing memorable about these at all. I think there definitely needs to be something with more of a substantial crunch on these tacos.
Tin Kitchen regularly pops up in my business park so I figured I would give them another shot. I ordered a chicken tinga taco and, just like last time, my taco was ready in a flash. I definitely enjoyed this one the most, so far, of the three I have tried. Flavors were much more pronounced, with juicy chicken and a sauce with just the right amount of spice.
Tacos are priced at $3.50 each and they are on the smaller side. In addition, they sell quesadillas, nachos, salads, and sliders. They normally have specials of the day. Personally, I do not feel inclined to try anything other than the tacos but I've heard the Korean BBQ sliders are pretty good so maybe on another day I see them around, I'll give those a shot.
They keep their core menu pretty much the same so I can see myself trying out the remaining four taco flavors just to see if I end up liking any others.
