Wow. This is a bold claim, but these may be my new favorite tacos in Kansas City. I decided to drive through Argentine and stop at any place that caught my eye. I spotted this taco truck in the parking lot and pulled in.
I picked three tacos and a bottled Mexican Coke for $11. There's a taco plate with rice & beans, but faulty communication on my part meant I just got the tacos. They were served with onion, cilantro, and lime with a side of mild salsa verde.
At every other taco shop in KC there is some variety that I just don't like. Often the carnitas are fatty and gristly or they're very dry and crispy. Sometimes the cut of meat for the Asada isn't the best or there's no seasoning. To me, these were all great. The carnitas had a little bit of fat, but not enough to be off-putting and no gristle! They were tender and moist and flavorful.
I wasn't sure what meat would come in the campechanos taco, but I loved the combo of Asada and chorizo. Chorizo on its own is sometimes too strong. This was well-seasoned and balanced nicely with the Asada. And no complaints about the single Asada taco, either. The pieces of meat weren't too large or too tiny. The taco shells were pliable and held together well. The only thing I would have liked is a little more salsa or maybe a spicier salsa. I don't know if they have other salsas to choose from. Maybe they just chose the mild for me! But personally I like a lot of sauce. But this was I was able to taste all of the fillings very well, so maybe it's a good thing. I will definitely stop here for carnitas tacos in the future or try something else from the menu! read more
