Vanessa’s Tacos

8 Best Taco Trucks in the Triangle | Eater Carolinas

"Vannesa’s Tacos, previously known as Taqueria El Taquito De Oro, is a family business, now named for owner Gabby Gonzalez’s firstborn grandchild. This bright orange truck that Gonzales opened five years ago can be spotted in a parking lot off 15-501 between Durham and Chapel Hill. Though inflation forced them to raise their prices from the “Special $1.50” branded in huge letters on the side of the truck, Vanessa’s Tacos still offers great deals for delicious dishes. Gonzalez has a natural knack for seasoning and marinating meats, best sampled in tacos wrapped in homemade tortillas with simple toppings of onion, cilantro, and lime that don’t distract from the tender and flavorful fillings." - Gabi Mendick
