Well I finally went to this UFO of a food truck, located on Main and Dyer right along the side of the Orange Coast Lumber Co. and across the street form the Yellow Basket. I thought they were a Santa Ana truck, they`re from Whittier? People filled up the parking lot for MSI furniture and the Hell on Wheels joint that never seems to be open, ever. Packed is an understatement, especially when it comes to a place that supposedly has something good to offer anyone. Well I was about to order when I got a call from one of the homies who said he was actually down the street and would be right down to come a feast as well. I ordered first after we got together and started with dos de pastor, dos de tripas, uno de chorizo and one of asada to just try it, I just wasn`t feeling like chicken tonight. You can`t wash down tacos properly without and horchata, if I`d have wanted a Pepsi with my dinner I would have just gone to the Del Taco or Yellow Casket across the street. So, all that said, I asked how much it was and she said 6 something... Six and change, for 6 tacos and an horchata?! You crazy? So I told the homie to just order so I could feel like a baller when I paid for both. I through in another taco to my order, and for two guys who can eat you out of house and home the total was about $17. It did however take about 20 minutes to get my tacos but I was with good company.
Lets get down to the actual feast: Size wise, the tacos are about momma bear size. (I`ve actually had smaller...) Most of the carnes where decently good like the asada, and the al pastor, the chorizo was nothing special but wait... the tripas, oh the tripas... they were some of the worst I have ever had. Now here is where the homie comes into play majorly, I was not the only one who thought so about the tripas. They were made as if the we got a scoop from the corner of the steam pan after a flame had already scorched the damn thing. The tacos come with nice slices of cooked onion on them and once you get your tacos they had the outside complimentary ceboya and cilantro,chiles and limones. I am a red sauce type of guy and their chili did not disappoint at all, yet when my mouth was on fire I had to save my sips of horchata cause they only have a baby dick size.
(Insert picture of actual food here... I was hungry, by the time I remembered I had nothing left to photograph :( )
So with all this being thrown out there, I`m going to give this 5 out of 10 blue stars. Would I go again? Yeah, among good company though. All but one taco were good and order two drinks with your one plate. If you still have room in the end, there was this young lady trying to hustle those freakish pastel color Mexican jellos which I declined 3 times. If I`m ever going to eat jello at all, It better be that American see through shit.
