This food truck visited our subdivision this evening. I ordered the bowl which consisted of…read morechopped and torn marinated chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, Spanish rice, sour cream and Mexican street corn...splashed with a bit of homemade mildly spicy tomatillo sauce. A side of warm, salty tortilla chips further enhanced the experience. It actually tasted like food from old Mexico. And that's a good thing! Clearly way above the dribble served served at the local chain Mexican restaurants. My rating, as always, is based solely on my comparison of this establishment versus other Mexican eateries in the area. It's a food truck so there is no real atmosphere or ambiance to speak of. The truck was clean and the owner/chef was friendly and engaging. The menu is limited. If you see the truck...try it...you'll like it!

It is raining everyday Florida, and today was no exception. The rain was pouring and I was sitting…read morein my car waiting for it to stop, but it just kept coming. Then, there was a tap on my window and I looked over to see a kind man grinning at me. Normally, I do not open house or car doors for just any smiling man. But, this man could not hurt a fly and was nice enough to escort me under his umbrella to the overhang of his taco truck to order my lunch. I told the staff that I want tacos, but I only have $6.50 (cash only), they nodded and a woman proceeded to cook up some food. It became: 2 fajita tacos on corn tortillas $1.75 each 2 chicken tacos on corn tortillas $1.50 each Both served with the usual chopped raw onion and cilantro. These did not come with a side of lime, and the green chili sauce was most interesting... The Tacos el Indio truck has by the far the most unique and homemade tasting tacos and chili sauce that I have had so far. I watched as the woman lightly dipped each of the corn shells into melted lard and placed all ingredients onto a large iron griddle. This gave the shells a delicious char of black and brown spots and toasty/nutty taste. The chicken was all white meat that was shredded like rotisserie chicken style. The cook seared the shredded meat on the griddle and sprinkled lemon pepper on it. It actually still tasted like a taco with the toppings and the chili sauce, but just a little more interesting. The fajita beef was cut into long thin strips (about 4 inches) and seared just like the chicken on the griddle. The meat was tough and somewhat buttery, like cheaper cuts of beef can taste. I will usually use a marinade to prevent this sort of taste. The green chili sauce was runny, but the ingredients were pureed into a smooth liquid that consisted of: green chili, avocado, lime, cilantro, salt, and beer. I actually think that the main ingredient was beer. It was delicious! But, since it was so runny, I had some trouble keeping it on the taco. Now I am at work, hoping that my breath does not wreak of beer from the sauce. After I received my food, to take back to work to eat, the man was nice enough again to escort me back to my car with the umbrella in hand. I told him that I will see him again soon, and I will, but hopefully in nicer weather and with people accompanying me. They have a large list of other items; tortas, sopas, burritos, menudo. There were no prices posted and I would have loved to sneak a photo of the menu. I did not see any bottles sodas for sale, but it does say that they have aguas frescas on the menu, and lists horchata as one of them. It is really hard to get photos of the trucks, because everyone is so paranoid. It is only two buildings North of Taqueria Mi Rancho, but they are still the busiest I have seen. They are in the parking lot of "Vessels Into Honour" ministries. There is a listing for a Tacos el Indio at another address on Yelp, but I cannot locate a business of that name under the address that is on the listing.

This is by far the cleanest and newest taco truck that I have been to. The inside is brightly lit,…read moresanitized, and pristine white. The food here is actually cooked, pan fried, fresh as you order. Not sitting in a steamer all day like many of the trucks in the area. I love the name of the stall and the nice woman that runs it. They even have business cards! All of the tacos here are $1.50 each. You have your choice of pastor (pan fried tiny bits of pork), pollo (pan fried minced chicken), asada (pan fried minced beef), carnitas (shredded and slow cooked pork), and chorizo (ground pork sausage). Every business serves it differently. If you are new to authentic tacos, then I recommend this place as your first try. Mostly because the tacos here do not have as much exotic tasting seasonings as other places. By spice, I am referring to cumin, paprika, garlic, and hot pepper flakes cooked with the actual meats. Since everything is cooked fresh to order, I recommend calling ahead to place your order 941-321-5718. The tacos here come with a side of green chili salsa and wedges of lime on the side, and cilantro and chopped onion on top. The green salsa is so far the spiciest I have had, and can be mouth numbing, so try a little at first. I ordered 2 asada on corn tortillas and 2 chorizo on corn tortillas. The asada steak had minimal fat, was finely chopped, and very tender. However, the meat was pan fried with very little seasoning, so it was kind of bland. I added salt, a ton of green salsa, and a whole lime wedge to make it tasty. However, the chorizo was amazing. It was nice and salty with a bit and a hint of tang to it. The chorizo is by far my favorite. They carry many drink and soda options, my favorite being apple soda. The Tortas (sandwich) are $6.00, Sope $3.50, Tostada $5.00, Burrito $5.00, and Quesadilla $4.00. I will definitely be coming back, and bringing mostly people that have never tried taco trucks before because this is a great introduction. If you are driving down State Road 70, it is behind the Dollar General on 15th Street. They are open everyday of the week 11:00AM-9:00PM, and stay open until 11:00PM on Friday and Saturday nights.

Tacos that you only dream of come out of this trailer. Some people make fun of or are scared of food sold from trailers, but I'm telling you this is some of the best street food to be had. The fact that it comes out of a wagon should not scare you off. think on this, you can spend $10 at a "taco" chain down the road, that serves up cardboard shells they like to call tortillas, or you can spend $5 at La Cholita and have amazing tacos that make your tongue sing, your mouth rejoice, and your tummy happy. The spicy pork tacos are the best, just a little onion and cilantro on a couple of warm tortillas, green salsa and lime wedges. Heaven on a plate. The people who work here are friendly and know what they are doing.

Very convenient food stand located right on the beach…read more If you didn't bring a SINGLE snack like us to the beach and skipped breakfast (I know I know, WHO does that?) then you'll literally be the happiest human to know this place exists. We were in the mood for an easy beach day and didn't want to make a million stops and pack all the things. Knowing this place was around made our beach day so easy. Pros: breakfast food is available until 11am, they have all kinds of snacks, drinks, food - from burgers to nachos, quesadillas to grilled cheese. Cons: it's just a fast food spot, nothing super special about the food, the staff is half nice half stand off ish, the in house canned margaritas are just artificial lemonade. What I love the MOST about this place is you can place an order online ahead of time. Even better, you can place an order right from your beach chair and then meet at a specific meet point and they'll deliver it to you. Super cool and convenient especially with the extra long walk to their stand. I genuinely love the home made margarita cans but it would be nice if they actually put some tequila in it. Sadly, you do pay for a cocktail and get an extra light version of it.

Out-of-the-way places that are unexpected treasures are my favorite places to find myself . For today's review, let me invite you to the unusual yet very ordinary locale that is Siesta Beach Sand Pavilion. First, we start with a word about Siesta Beach. It is an award-winning stop noted for its most define quartz sand in the country, if not the world. Add to a tremendous location Sarasota surrounding environment makes CSO a hotspot for beach, lovers, family, getaways, and people watching extraordinaire. A special note about Siesta Key Beach Drum Circle's that take place here at sunset Sunday nights. The sand pavilion serves up some unexpectedly good comfort foods. The main feature for me that I always plan to have whenever I'm in Sarasota is the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. Fresh fish, great seasoning made to order perfect every time. The sandwich is served up on a great bun with lettuce, tomato and onion the condiments that you might care for are available at your request. There's nothing vin ordinaire about the sandwich they serve. Honorable mention besides the blackened fish sandwich are the chicken tenders and other great comfort foods. You also have a variety of great cold beer choices, and access to sheltered seating and washrooms to give yourself a well-deserved break from the sun for your time at Siesta Key Beach. The sand Pavilion is staffed by friendly, efficient staff that always seem to add a touch of local charm. The Santa pavilion at Siesta Key Beach is a bit off the beaten path away from the mainland, and can be very crowded about any given time that the weather might be nice enough for a stop at the beach. Take my word, it's worth it every time! Until next time...tk
