"I've noticed Lowcountry-based Mexican food truck El Kiosko has been gaining followers for its birria tacos, and owner JR Villasenor Gonzalez recently announced on Facebook that he would flavor pork tacos with fall spices to create pumpkin spice tacos. Eater photographer Mike Ledford taste-tested them and came back with glowing short reviews: "Tasty. Kinda sweet and spicy? Close to classic bbq sauce sweetness. Definitely tasted like pumpkin spice but not over the top. Would eat again." The truck tends to travel around Hanahan, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant, and I follow the mobile kitchen on Street Food Finder. Even though pumpkin spice is often made fun of, it makes sense to combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a pork dish — isn’t that just a Christmas ham? The piece also includes photos of El Kiosko and the birria and pumpkin spice tacos." - Erin Perkins
