Quick Blurb on Taco Guy Food Truck

 

Hey all! This is just a quick post about an amazing lunch I had a couple days ago from the food truck Taco Guys at the Marin County Mart in Larkspur, Marin County.  Food truck vendors park their trucks along the sidewalk of the Larkspur Landing shopping center every Sunday and prepare fresh food to order.

The Taco Guys food truck makes (guess what?!) TACOS that are absolutely delicious for $5 each. They have many kinds of soft tacos that change daily. The picture above is their summer squash taco with a great spicy salad with beets and pickled red onions. The other pic is of their Taco de Maui, which they describe on their online menu as "Batter-fried sustainable ono (wahoo), shredded little gem lettuce, pickled radishes, Sriracha mayo and cilantro."   So yummy! 

Their drinks really stand out too, especially the Vanilla Saffron Lemonde, Watermelon-Basil Cooler and my favorite, the Cinnamon-Hibiscus Cooler. The Hibiscus cooler is vibrantly pink in color and tastes like that Tazo Hibiscus herbal tea you can get at Starbucks, only with a little surprising kick of cinnamon. Each refreshing drink is $2. 

I also suggest trying other food truck vendors' food in the Larkspur Landing area. The other time I went to eat at the food trucks I had the most delicious sandwich of all time: Aidell's chicken-apple sausage, fried egg, frisee and red onions sandwiched between two buttery cheddar biscuits. OMG I died and went to heaven. I wish I knew what the vendor's name was; each week the trucks change so you never know what you're going to get!

My dad also went to the Korean-Japanese fusion truck called Koja Kitchen (pic below) and ordered their extremely popular Korean BBQ sandwich.  The highlight of the sandwich (besides the tender beef) is the grilled rice they use as the "bread". 

The food in the food trucks range from pizzas to good ole' Southern BBQ ribs to dainty cupcakes. Its funny because my dad said that street food vendors used to be viewed as cheap and for the poor, but this whole food truck revolution has made street vending artisan! Check it out if your in the area, otherwise look at different food trucks' websites and Facebooks since most of them post their weekly schedules.

The Larkspur Landing Circle shopping center is across the street from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. The food trucks come every Sunday. You eat outside on benches under a (crowded) tent, and there's usually a relaxing band playing as well! There used to be food trucks at the Ferry Terminal area on Thursday or Friday nights but I'm not sure if they still do that. I'll let you all know when I find out! :)
