I have a bucket list, as I'm sure most people do. Although it's not written down [that could be a good project for me] I think of it often. One thing that was added to my bucket list when we moved to Texas was to eat food from a Mexican Taco Truck. Yup. I figured they would have some delicious food and it had to be pretty authentic since Mexican construction workers seem to love them. I have eaten from a food truck in New York and Chicago when I went on trips up there with my high school band and choir...ya know, hot dogs and stuff. But on my bucket list it had to be a Mexican Taco Truck - a little bit more adventurous.
I have seen millions of these trucks in my life but I have always been a little bit anxious to go eat at them. I mean, I'm a young white girl that doesn't really speak Spanish and is just a little bit afraid about getting food poison. So, I have always found a good number of excuses to not grab some food at the truck.
Well, lo and behold, there is a construction site 2 houses down from me. I have been watching this construction site for the past couple weeks and without fail, from about noon to one there is a Mexican Taco truck parked outside of it. BINGO. Nearly everyday around lunchtime I think about whether I should stop by the truck or not...I go out on my porch....look at the truck....debate....yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes....maybe tomorrow. Aughh.....
This morning the husband stayed home to work on a paper of his and he stayed long enough for lunch.....We were going to have roast beef and swiss cheese sandwiches. But then I remembered the Mexican Taco truck. I went outside and it was there! Huzzah!! The husband speaks spanish and ate at Mexican Taco trucks on his mission all the time. I told him there was a Mexican Taco truck outside and that maybe we should eat there....He couldn't have been more excited. He quickly threw on his shoes and away we went.
It was great. The husband spoke to the guys in spanish, got us some tacos and a burrito and we took it back home to eat. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! So good. So glad we went. Maybe I'll go back again on my own... who know. AMAZING.
I can now cross that off my bucket list, but it for sure won't be the last time I eat at a Mexican Taco Truck.
I had always wanted to eat at a Mexican taco truck growing up too! It wasn't until I got a Spanish speaking husband that I got to do that as well :) Our favorite is tacos al pastor. mmmm so good!
