"No longer constrained by the endless string of chain restaurants that typically encircle suburban food landscapes, Elk Grove, located just south of Sacramento proper, has exploded as a local destination for small businesses with swag. Enter West Coast Taco Bar, a roving food truck and permanent restaurant that bills itself as “Mexican inspired with a Golden State of mind.” Experimentation is encouraged at this taco stand, where a trio of tacos could include a Dirty Diana, a.ka. beef birria tucked inside a tortilla tinged with house-made mole and lots of melty cheese; Peruvian-style pollo a la brasa; and a sweet white corn and poblano creation." - Tamerra Griffin
