Last Sunday B and I took a walk down to the Head House Square Farmer's Market. Our plan was to have brunch at a nearby restaurant before hitting the market for some fresh produce and other goodies, but when we got there and saw the taco truck and sausage truck we couldn't resist.
We started with the
Los Taquitos de Puebla truck.
I had the chicken tacos.
The chicken was tender, and the sauce had a nice spice without being overwhelming, but they weren't anything extraordinary. B's tacos al pastor, on the other hand, were absolutely fantastic.
Tacos al pastor is a traditional Mexican dish which includes shaved pork, pineapple, cilantro, and chopped onion. I found this
recipe in case you want to give them a try at home, but I would highly recommend checking out the tacos al pastor from Los Taquitos. The pork was delicious, and to our surprise the pineapple was a perfect complement without adding too much sweetness.
We washed down the tacos with a ginger-infused lemonade from the Made in the Shade lemonade stand.
Cool, clean, and refreshing.
Next we tried the Asian chicken sausage sandwich from the sausage truck.
The sausage had a great flavor and the bread was fresh with a nice crunch to soak up the juices from the asian slaw. If we had had the sausage first it might have knocked our socks off, but it was no competition for the tacos al pastor.
After we finished eating we took a stroll through the market. It was sort of picked-over due to the late hour, but we will definitely be back -- if for no other reason than those tacos al pastor!
