For your dining pleasure, the three-star winner (South Texas Division) of the Chicagoboyz World Heritage Taqueria Guide – Erick’s Tacos, on Nacogdoches road.
Behold the simple splendor of their open-air dining facility!
Their mobile kitchen –
They do actually now have a sit-down restaurant with a full kitchen – but Erick’s started as a taco truck, parked by Cordova Auto Repair.
And finally – a plate of chorizo bistek. And watch out for the green sauce …
I would eat lunch from that truck literally every day if it were close to where I work.
The food is fantastic – very authentic and at half the price of much more pretentious places specializing in Mexican street food.
Most excellent.
I’m getting me some taco hunger. Maybe will go to the taco truck several blocks away.
That looks great. Cilantro is the lynchpin of a good taco.
19 years old, 1 AM, 1970, just getting off 2nd shift at Bethleham Steel, never had a taco. Stopped a a little trailer outside the mills…thought that taco was about the greatest thing ever. My memory is not the best, but I’ll never forget taco #1.
What could be better at 2am after the bars close in Athens Ohio? A burrito of course. The Burrito Buggy on the corner of Court and Union Streets is most excellent and is still there some 25 years later. The owner is a millionaire. Genius.
