Bottom Line:
Unpretentious food from friendly folks. Portion (Indian Taco) seemed small'ish for a meal.
Top Line:
Gotta give a shout-out to the friendly gang running this food truck. They've been friendly & engaging both times I've bumped into them at Marble Westside. Nice guys in my experience.
This round I went with an Indian Taco from Brooke's for the second time. Still a tenner plus tax to get one. This one seemed distinctly smaller (about 6-7" diameter is my roughly measured guess) than I remember the first one being about a year ago IIRC, so the value ratio may be fading.
Flavor wise the Indian Taco was okay to good, with the complexity running on the low side. But the dish had a moderate spicy kick & easily ingested soft texture. Refried beans and cheese, plus tomato & lettuce, were the major players. The meat hardly registered as being present at all, though it was supposedly included. Temperature wise it was lukewarm. So bland & unimpactful on that front.
The bread base was a disappointment. In my world Indian tacos come on frybread that's fresh out of the deep fryer bath. Oily outside with a crispy exterior and tender chewy inside. Brooke's bread platter for the Indian Taco was Boboli from a grocery store near as I could tell. It was a puffy doughy white bread round sans frying or crispification. It was tender however, but in a white Wonder Bread sort of way.
Next time I bump into the Brooke's food truck, I may have to try their burgers, which I'm assuming are fried upon ordering, to get into the hot & freshly prepared category. read more
