Tequila Taco

It was super-​refreshing to see a genuine lonchera hanging out with the higher-​priced, gentrified food trucks at SJ Eats Saturday.
Unfortunately most old school taco trucks can’t cater to my taco needs (I only eat seafood or veggie tacos) so when I asked if there were any veg options I was fully expecting to hear a «No.» However, I was told that they could whip up simple rice/​beans/​cheese/​onions/​cilantro/​etc. tacos for me so I went ahead and ordered two.
Now, when I get this sort of jury-​rigged veg taco at a traditional lonchera or taqueria, I’m usually disappointed or just mildly satisfied, but the two I got here were right on the money. All the components were fresh and flavorful and super-​satisfying to munch on, and the double layer of corn tortillas were nicely toasted to a light golden. For me two tacos were about the size of a large snack; to make it a full-​on meal I’d need four, while others might need as little as three or as many as five.
It’s nothing particularly mind-​blowing, but it’s simply, satisfying old school food truck fare. An easy three to 3.5 stars, eagerly rounded up a full star for the super awesome price: $ 2.50 for two vegetarian tacos with self-​serve extras: radishes, lime wedges, and a choice of fresh salsas (the tomatillo and the spicy red were both fab) that rounded out the tacos perfectly.

With all this street food movement it’s sometimes good to go back to the old school. Before all of this craze, there were the industrial catering «roach coaches» and the awesome taco trucks. Tequila fits in with the latter. Unfortunately I cam late and they were out of lengua and birria. However the pastor and asada were excellent. $ 1.50 per is still on the higher end but I think for the quality it’s worth it. 4.3 stars
