Taceaux Loceaux

"Tacaeux Loceaux Food trucks have become part of the culinary establishment in New Orleans, as in so many other cities. Here the fun part remains chasing them around, an activity that can introduce you to unfamiliar neighborhoods and bars. Among the more reliable and delicious mobile vendors for cheap eats is Taceaux Loceaux (pronounced in local fashion as “Taco Loco”). Its tacos feature innovative and tasty fillings, like a flavorful Texas brisket, or a “Seoul chicken” with kimchi. Most nights the truck is parked outside uptown-area spots, including Kingpin and Dos Jefes. The owners work social media like pros, tweeting (@tlnola) their location every time they start serving, followed some hours later by an online last call."

Taceaux Loceaux Opens Uptown Restaurant At Last | Eater New Orleans

"A longtime taco truck fixture at Uptown bars that appeared on Anthony Bourdain’s The Layover in 2013, it opened as a restaurant over the weekend at 737 Octavia Street. Owners Alex and Maribeth del Castillo first announced intentions to bring their signature tacos to a restaurant in 2016; after various locations fell through they resumed plans after signing the Uptown lease earlier this year. The menu builds on the truck’s inventive tacos featuring proteins like BBQ pork, brisket, and Korean-style chicken and has been expanded to include vegan and vegetarian-friendly options such as braised greens, potato and poblano, cauliflower, and even “fauxrizo” (a meatless chorizo substitute). The bigger menu also offers quesadillas, the famous avocado fries, tot nachos, salads, and a full bar. The truck will continue to operate after a brief maintenance and upgrade break, the owners are hiring staff for the truck, and the restaurant is serving dinner six days a week for now with plans to open for lunch and weekend brunch—check Taceaux Loceaux’s Facebook page for updates on hours." - Clair Lorell
