I’ve lived within five minutes of the Taconazo taco truck on Fulton for about 13 years before I visited, which is sad. Because after going for the first time in July 2021, I have probably been back ten times in the last year. It is great.
The tacos are delicious and made while you wait. Every time I have been, there have been other customers waiting. On weekend nights, I have stood in a line maybe twenty deep; it doesn’t take too long, but the line’s presence guarantees you aren’t getting food that has been sitting around. The line also contributes to a collective anticipation of the food and maybe the evening. People are in good moods in this line.
The official name is Taqueria Taco Nazo Veracruz. Importantly, it’s cash only. I’ve seen another truck with the same logo of a sunglasses-wearing jalapeño lounging beside a palm tree while driving north on S. Sgt. Macario Garcia Drive after returning from golf at Gus Wortham. I haven’t been to the East End one yet.
