After three installments of the Taco Truck Chronicles series serving as a sort of palate cleanser, it's time to get down to business with the main course. This month, I will take you—and, hopefully, your stomach—to the taco trucks that brought me to my own Mexican Valhalla: SW 29th Street.
Based on the original Taco District lines along SW 29th from May Ave. to the Capitol Hill area, it's where I grew up as a burrito-loving kid, ditching school for a taco-based lunch and a Jarritos soda pop. Sadly, I have the self-made belt holes to prove it.
Starting at the historic flashpoint of SW 29th and S. May through S. Penn, it's an amazing tour of the diverse food carts in the area, from tempting starters and mouthwatering main courses to sweet treats I can't get anywhere else. Let me be your tour guide for this new installment.
