Midtown Lunch

Lunch’er Serene wrote in earlier this week to let us know that another Mexican food truck’s been parking in the nether regions of the Financial District. Sure enough, Tacos El Idolo which some of you may know from its usual spot in Chelsea has started parking at Pearl St. & Whitehall. This is likely good news for those of you whose Mexican food options near Bowling Green until now have included Chipotle, Mad Dog & Beans and terrible deli burritos. Click through for a look at the menu and what Serene said about the food she and a co-worker got from the truck. The truck has a pretty extensive menu along with aguas frescas. I love that you can get both gringo nachos and a gordita from this truck. Here’s what Serene had to say:

I had seriously good lengua and oreja (pig ear) tacos.  I thought it was as good as the Wall St. taco truck (aka, Tacos Morelos Truck). Plus, I think they use El Yucateco hot sauce, which is my favorite.  My co-workers had humongous quesadillas, which they also enjoyed.

So, they have pig ear tacos!?! If any of the rest of you have eaten at this truck, let us know what else is good. And I’ll be filing a report soon, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that they keep parking in that spot.
