I stopped by here with my girlfriend for a snack this past Sunday afternoon at Coffee Buddha. We had attempted to get tacos here the previous day during the food truck roundup but the line was simply ridiculously long and barely moving. So whenever we pulled up this past Sunday I was pleased to see that the line was only about 15 people long with some people obviously a part of a single group. It was cold out and I was determined to wait although I certainly didn't think that it would take the half an hour to forty five minutes that it did. While the owner of the truck was clearly working very hard and was also amusing to talk to, I can't exactly say that the operation was efficient since every taco is made after it has been ordered. Granted that is nice from an eating standpoint but not so for efficiency. Originally my girlfriend and I had only planned on trying three of the tacos from the truck but after the long wait I figured that I would we should try all five because who knows when either one of us would want to wait that long again. On this day the taco truck had a butternut squash with chipotle cream (I think), a pork one with a fruity salsa, a jerked chicken with avocado cream, a Korean BBQ with kimchi and finally the americano which is steak, cheddar and salsa. After being handed the bad and sent on my way I made it upstairs inside Coffee Buddha only to realize that I only had 4 of the 5 tacos I had ordered. Apparently the owner knew that too as whenever I went back down to ask about it he quickly provided me with the missing taco. I enjoyed all of them to an extent as the tortillas that they are all put on are quite good. My favorites through were the jerked chicken with avocado and the pork tacos followed by the Korean BBQ and Americano with my least favorite of the bunch being the vegetarian. The jerked chicken taco was my favorite as the chicken had a nice spicy flavor and the avocado cream sauce was simply amazing. It had a slight taste of avocado combined with the taste of lemon that reminded me of a good lemon aioli and if I could buy some more, I would. The pork taco was also great with the pork being extremely tender which combined with the sweetness of the toppings perfectly. You could tell that the Americano taco was made with real pieces of steak which was nice although I thought it was missing a little pizazz that the others had. My Korean BBQ seemed to be the same way and I think a little more of the soy based sauce on it would have made it much better. Finally I was not a huge fan of the butternut squash one (disclaimer that I am not a fan of butternut squash) but it was slightly sweet and better than I had expected.
The bottom line for me is that if I was rating the truck on food alone, I believe it would deserve 5 stars as it definitely hit a home run. However, I was not a big fan of the wait even though I understand why there was one. Due to that I would definitely head back here again in the future but only if there was no line or a fairly short line waiting for the truck.
