With the significant others out for the night, and some time to burn, my best friend and I decided to roll out to the trailer last night. No trouble finding it, it's in the Eastland parking lot right where you all said it would be. A little background on me, I lived in Mexico for about a year on and off and am fascinated by Latin American culture and cuisine. From Mexico to Bolivia I've eaten anywhere from 5 star restaurants sitting on ruins in Lima, to the chifas and taco stands in tiny neighborhoods in el campo. When I lived in Mexico I was fortunate enough to have a taco stand roll up around 7-8 right next to my house. I ate there 4-5 times a week and like a drug, I'm still chasing that first bite...
We got there about 9 last night. It was pretty busy, about 10 people standing around, all latinos. Being bilingual, it really helps me get the feel of the place. All of the people working there we're really nice and it's always funny to watch their heads spin when a 6'6" gringo steps up speaking castellano complete with Mexican slang. Their menu is pretty consistant with a typical taco cart, tacos, gorditas, tortas, tamales etc. I started with a few gorditas, al pastor, with grilled onions (cebolla) and cheese. I was dissapointed to see them using Mozzarella instead of manchego, an excellent latino cheese, but it didn't hinder the taste at all. Fresh pico de gallo with green peppers in it which was a first for me, and was excellent. THey have two salsas, a red and a green, both with unique flavors, my preference was the red. I found neither one very hot, but good nonetheless. Fresh limes to squeeze on top and I was in heaven. They also serve Mexican Coke in a glass bottle made with cane sugar which is always a hit. My friend had a taco con asada and really liked it. Next we decided to try the chorizo tacos and we were both in love. Literally some of the best chorizo I've had stateside. So good we kept ordering more and more of them until we were pleasantly full. They use traditional corn tortillas which have always been my preference. 3 gorditas, 6 tacos and two cokes came to 19 and we were pleased. We both drove away as satisfied as we could be. The car ride back was filled with many "Damn that was good" from both of us. Will we be back, uh maybe as soon as tonight! Thanks all for the tip off on this place, it's not to be missed.
