Oh my oh my!
I stopped for gas at the Exxon station at South Bell Blvd. and Riviera Dr on the Austin/Cedar Park border (frontage road of 183A heading south) on a very cold, windy yet sunny day and I'm so glad I did! After getting gas, I went over to the TacoMaye food truck parked along the side of the parking lot near a few picnic tables and a shaded grass area.
The menu isn't diverse, but offers standard breakfast tacos (egg and...) and about 8 lunch taco choices, a few other staples like burritos, quesadilla's, nachos, tortas, etc.
I had the chicken taco with onion, cilantro, cheese and avocado on a warm flour tortilla with a side of green sauce that perfectly complimented the fire grilled chicken, onions and zesty cilantro. The generous helping of shredded Monterey Jack and the creamy avocado wedge helped to balance out the heat. The green sauce was just the right heat, too; I'm still feeling it as I type this- my upper lip is sweating slightly,my tongue is tingling and my sinuses are clear- but even without a beverage, this meal didn't feel like I would die from capsaicin heat.
The next taco I ordered was the brisket, cheese, onion and cilantro on warm, house made corn tortillas. I thought I'd had some good tacos before but Wow! The brisket was flavorful and seasoned just right, not greasy, but slightly crispy and cut into manageable bite sized bits. It drives me nuts when you bite into your taco and all the meat comes out in one big piece!
And praise needs to be given to those glorious flat rounds of sun drenched corn turned into soft, delectable tortillas. Made in a normal TACO size, not in the smaller fajita style, and doubled up, too! I could eat them with melted butter all day long! Order the corn!!!
Each taco is $2.50 (The vegetarian taco is $1.00 more) and well worth it and even worth standing in the cold sunshine for a little over five minutes, too!
Thanks TACOMAYE, I'll be seeing you again and soon!
