Taco Truck/ by Guest Blogger, Darryl Duke of Seattle Foodies
All that mobile food talk motivated me to swing by the new taco truck on 3rd avenue between Bell and Blanchard (just south of the dog park, in the vacant lot on the other side of Dan’s Belltown Grocery.) It looks appropriately ramshackle, behind a chain link fence, and already bits of the signage have fallen down. What caught my eye was the beef tongue tacos. Then the beef cheek. I ordered both, plus a sangria flavored Mexican soft drink at the guy’s suggestion (not bad- and I usually HATE soft drinks). Anyway, for a buck-fifty apiece, they were great. Fresh corn tortillas, green tomatillo sauce, shredded cabbage and lettuce for crunch, some fresh cilantro. Sliced lemons and nicely pickled peppers for garnish. All very good. The cheeks are definitely the best flavor-for-the-money thing going on in Belltown. The truck is called Tacos El Campesino. The guy says he’s only been there about two weeks. He was very nice and helpful. I should have asked his name. The only worry is the truck was desserted at noon… I hope more people catch on. I better blog it!
