the cats pjs. me and my old lady have been wanting to try these guys for a while and finally got the opportunity this last wednesday. i had to force myself not to get a burrito, even though i am the king of burritos. the reason? these guys make their own corn tortillas and theyre supposed to be the shiznizzel. so we each ordered a pollo, carnitas and asada taco. after i paid we realized we'd forgotten about their fish tacos. i slowly began to weep like the forgetful cretin that i sometimes am. next time you dumb bastard, next time...
after a while, i managed to move on and a few minutes later we were awarded a bag containing the objects of our desire, followed by a sauce inquiry: face melter? medium? mild? yes please. all of the above. we wandered over to the lutz, ordered a couple of margaritas and got down in it. i tackled the carnitas first and that was probably my favorite. face melter was cruel but needed a little more going on than just sheer destruction. so i mixed some of the super delicious medium in with it and voila! perfection had been achieved.
i love taco trucks but most of them do a dicey (but somewhat, necessary thing). that thing is that they cook all the meats in the morning, chop them up and throw them in a bin to be reheated once you place your order. if both steps are timed out perfectly, you can sometimes get away with it because the meat isnt dried out. but unfortunately, a lot of the time, you take a bite of one of these and are left cursing, chewing on little rocks. if the folks over at el gallo are taking this shortcut then they have it down pat. i forgot how tender and delicious these kind of tacos can be. when theyre prepared properly. the chicken and steak were equally slobber, drool inducing offerings and the thick and hearty tortillas were more than up to the task of keeping everything in place. have no doubts, these gringos make some mexican grubs that would make abuela sigh in defeat. the best thing is that i still have the fish tacos (which are supposed to be fantastic) and burrito to look forward to. life is good, even though the weather is usually not.
grade: a ( oh yeah, forgot about my wife. she got tuned out along with the rest of the world once i began unscrambling those flavors. once we both came back down to earth i was completely unsurprised to find that her own experience mirrored my own, that is to say, she thought it was the cats pajamas)
