Friday Lunch Date

Hey, what's not to like about eating lunch outside and

saving money (for the weekend) ? Enter the Taco Zone:

Sunshine + tacos = Friday

Check out Los Compadres taco truck Spear St @ Folsom St

This is what Kimberly had to say on Yelp...

Yummy yum yum...I'm so glad to have a taco truck like this only a couple of blocks away from my office!

It can get really busy during the height of the lunch hour, but I usually try to go on the early side when the wait isn't so bad. The carne asada super taco (my usual) comes with a generous helping of meat and it's loaded down with rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, cheese, onion, guac and sour cream. This thing is huge...and heavy! It's on a soft taco and they provide you with a fork, but I end up picking up the taco part with my hands once I've eaten some of the fixings off the top. (I eat this at my desk so nobody has to witness me tackling this monster!) Combine the taco with a bag of their thick, crispy chips and a side of salsa (which is included with the order) and you have some goooood tasty eatin'...all for $7.50! I always order mine spicy (vs. mild) because I love spicy food, but you should know that it really IS spicy.

On a similar but diferent note consider the tacoshed project .

cheers!

What's for Lunch?

Tacolicious Market Days: Thursday
PRODUCTS: Three kinds of seasonal tacos, homemade salsas, agua fresca PEOPLE: Joe Hargrave and Sara Deseran plus two members of the Laïola team ABOUT: Tacolicious is the taqueria offshoot of Marina restaurant Laïola. For owner Joe Hargrave, tacos are comfort food — he grew up eating them at home and on the taco truck-lined streets of his hometown of Modesto. Inspired by a recent taco "smack-down" with Laïola chef Ron Pei, the Tacolicious stand serves antojito-style tacos with an emphasis on humanely and locally sourced ingredients. (Antojito means a snack that fulfills a craving in Spanish). Three rotating tacos will be available, including the signature braised pork shoulder. The salsa and agua fresca menu will also be updated to reflect seasonal availability. SOURCING: Tacolicious uses local pasture-raised meat, freshly made tortillas from San Francisco’s La Palma Mexicatessen, and local produce from several local farms, including Dirty Girl Farm, Swanton farm, County Line Harvest, and Hamada Farms.				www.tacolicioussf.com FUN FACT: Joe says he likes to keeps a Zip Lock baggie full of Chef Reed Hearon's Ancho Recado salsa in his car for emergencies.
