Taqueria Torres
4400 block of Caroline Street
The Mexican Consulate is on San Jacinto. Behind it on Caroline Street, there are two competing taco trucks, Taqueria Torres and Jesse's Taqueria. Torres has the edge for tangy al pastor, best enjoyed with lots of gooey cheese on a quesadilla. But Jesse's has a decent chicken taco. And they have a copy machine, too. What to get: quesadilla al pastor, Mexican Cokes.
Tacos El Amigo
Northwest corner of Renwick and Dashwood
What to get: "torta cubana," a Mexican twist on the Cuban sandwich made with fajita meat, ham, a hot dog cut into lengthwise sections, cheese, lettuce, tomato and lots of guacamole, with hot sauce on the side. Doña Maria is the head chef, and her food is "todo estilo México," according to her card. The tacos are plain. The gordita is a bad joke. But Doña Maria's Mexican Cuban sandwich is outrageous.
