Tacomobile

I’m fairly down to earth and reserved with my reviews so please understand that I am understating this when I say if Pancho Villa and Montezuma had a culinary love child the chorizo burritos from the Taco Mobile would be that child.
Literally the best thing I’ve had in my mouth that wasn’t screaming Oh God, Yes!
Their tacos and fajitas are damn good too.
You can find the three ladies in their cart on the corner of Greene and Columbus after 12 noon Monday through Friday.

They are not fast, they are not fancy. But they are fantastic. They have a small menu of Chicken, Beef or Chorizo Tacos, Burritos and Fajitas. So far I’ve only tried the chicken /​beef tacos and the beef burrito, but they are all damn good for a small taco cart. The chicken and beef are both seasoned very well and pack a lot of flavor.
Tip: I would order an extra tortilla shell when ordering tacos since they are always packed so full and tend to break apart.

I love their hawaiian chorizos tacos. they include slices of lime and radishes. The taco in itself is already excellent but when added with dash of lime, it brought out the heavenliness of the food. OH MY!!!
I can’t wait to try their fajitas next time.

Eating out of a food truck was once a feat reserved only for the bravest of the brave, unless you were a union employee working on a job site. They were called «roach coaches» back then, and bared no resemblance to the food trucks of today.
And unlike today’s food trucks that are all pimped out with full-​sized kitchens, flat screen TVs, gourmet menus, Twitter feeds, Websites, and Facebook pages, the Tacomobile has none of that. If you want to be technical about it, the Tacomobile isn’t even a food truck — it’s a food trailer, pulled by a truck.
But enough about that.
The Tacomobile shows up unreliably during the work week outside my building, setting up shop on the corner of Greene and Columbus. It’s a tiny little truck with only a sad little «TACOS» banner draped almost invisibly on the side. Inside the truck is a friendly Mexican duo, usually two women, that I assume might be family. They don’t appear to speak much English, but there’s not a lot of conversation required to place an order.
Much of the food is prepped in advance, stored in Tupperware containers, and is surprisingly fresh. It’s the «fresh» part that has led me back to this truck time and again. Your order is prepared right in front of you, cooked up on a flat top grill, handsomely dressed with sauces and other toppings, and then neatly packaged up for your trip back to wherever you plan on eating it.
I am a fan of the chicken fajita, which is pretty much what you know it to be. Shredded chicken, jullienned onions and peppers, all griddled with seasoning until it’s nice and brown, topped with shredded queso chihuahua, pico de gallo, and both red and green salsa — all wrapped up in a giant soft, warm flour tortilla.
For all of those ingredients it is not abundantly flavorful, but it’s all abundantly fresh. And I’m fully equipped with a treasure trove of hot sauces to top it off with when I get it back to my office, making it one of my favorite lunches to indulge in from time to time.
And at $ 7, it’s a good deal worth supporting the hard working folks trying to make it.
Give them a try if you’re passing by.
