This classic taco truck doesn’t include the word “caliente” in its moniker by accident. The house-made salsas — both roja and verde — are tongue-scorching in the best kind of way. Drizzle a little of each over freshly made corn tortillas stuffed with brick-red pastor, melt-in-your-mouth barbacoa, and the richest, most flavor-packed lengua. Just don’t forget to squeeze on the lime and get an ice-cold beer from neighboring West Alabama Icehouse to take down the blazing heat. These are the kinds of mind-numbingly delicious Mexican eats you’d expect in Houston. All from a truck in a parking lot.
