Adobada at Taqueria La Fondita #2 — Seattle
It’s the guilty pleasure of Seattle street foodies. The name insists that it’s #2 but those who’ve tried these tacos will rave that it’s (for sure) #1. The popular truck, Taqueria La Fondita, located in White Center has been around for over a decade serving the local taco loving community. You should stop by and enjoy some grub, they even provide seating! There are lots of choices on the menu but the most popular are the 3 taco combo — you get to choose 3 different types of tacos!
Los Dos Hermanos — Denver, CO
Looking for something to eat on the weekend in the metro area of Denver? Head over to Los Dos Hermanos for a delicious taco from this food truck. It’s only open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., so be sure to arrive for an early lunch. Los Dos Hermanos offers two kinds of tacos: tacos al vapor and lengua. Tacos al vapor is their specialty; it’s steamed and shredded beef with a corn tortilla and topped with salsa, onion, and cilantro. Lengua, meaning tongue, is the other option offered, it’s not the most popular, however, Los Dos Hermanos makes both tacos to be delish!
