El Chato Taco Truck

While there are certain trucks around town that we rely upon for knockout renditions of one particular type of taco (Leo’s, we’re looking at your al pastor), El Chato manages to deliver excellent options across the board (or plancha, rather). And since their small, palm-sized tacos run for $1 each, you can easily sample your way through the menu without breaking the bank. Favorites include the diced carne asada, al pastor, chorizo and lengua, all of which are treated to a healthy splash of their smoky, roasted salsa roja, cilantro and onions. If you’re looking for a more hefty option, the $5 quesadilla is a solid choice. Just be sure to bring cash and be ready for the inevitable line.
