My more food-motivated son noted the name of the Mexican food truck I mentioned in my recent post that we frequent at the local flea market, and it’s called San Jose. We stopped by for lunch today, after a quick toy haul1 at Target and the Cumberland Mall
.
We tried fried bananas (the girl working the stand called them bananas) with a block of fried cheese and a salami-type meat that chewed and tasted quite like pepperoni; what I think was a gordita, stuffed with mashed beans, chicharrones, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and maybe the hotest hot sauce I’ve ever tried; and the best surprise of all: tamales. My older son, who is growing ever more adventurous, got chicken taquitos. Also: passion fruit aqua fresca. So good.
They have tacos, so we’re definately going back.
Soon.
