| Tanya's Tacos |
| Tuesday, June 19, 2007 |
I remember reading an article in one of the Los Angeles papers about a restaurateur that couldn't get people to come into his restaurant to try his food but every time he set up a taco stand in the parking lot the crowds would line up for his tasty tacos. The inside of his restaurant was usually empty and he was constantly trying to get his customers to come inside and try his other dishes to no avail.But sales tripled.
carniceria mural
So now everytime I see a taco truck parked in the lot of a carniceria or taqueria I think of that taquero and his unusual dilemma. I also think that the proprietor of the carniceria most likely understands a thing or two about human behavior. Although carnicerias commonly sell tacos behind the counter the allure of the taco wagon in the parking lot is too tempting. It becomes an impulse buy for motorists and passers buy, many of whom would not have bothered to go inside to order from the counter.
That's how I ended up at Tanya's taco truck. Driving east on Cesar Chavez my impulses got the best of me and I pulled over.
When I first walked up to the truck they were loading supplies from the market into the back of the truck. It was just after noon and I could smell the grilled meats emanating out of the trucks windows. The scent of charred pork and beef and chile hit my nostrils and set off all the happy sensors in my brain.
asada
My tacos(asada y al pastor) came garnished with onions and cilantro.The al pastor was cut from the spit, the asada char-grilled and lime flavored. Both meats finely chopped and topped with a salsa roja and avocado salsa. The cold creamy avocado salsa in one bite, the chile salsa in the next add all the flavor you can ask for. If you want some extra heat ask for a jalapeño(which I did) and you'll be dancing.
al pastor
If I had room I would have gone back for more but the heavy lunch earlier in the day put an end to any gastrological excess. These were beauties though and I will be back to try the other meat offerings. If you plan on going on a taco crawl along Cesar E Chavez on a Saturday afternoon don't forget to add Tanya's to your list.

You've been spending too much time in Boyle Heights/ELA, methinks. I think what you need to do now is a South Central taco crawl, or maybe one through places like Huntington Park and South Gate.

Bandini,
I love and respect your site. I was just wondering, besides putting up grades of places, maybe more operating hours and specific locations as well(taco trucks)? I'm from Ventura County and make trips to L.A. and this would be helpful in my next taco hunt. I'm in search of the best home made corn tortillas with decent pricing, any suggestions?

peter,
good idea. huntington park and southgate are on notice. Hopefully this weekend.
anonymous,
most taco trucks don't have a set time. I'm gonna make a google map of taco trucks i've been to when i get the time though.
for corn tortillas go to los 5 puntos in east la.

Bandini,
I was actually wondering where I can get tacos with home made corn tortillas. I've seen some of your blogs, just wondering which one is your favorite (taste, value).

术+术：可能是唯一有可能冲上2300的同职业组合，天赋一般选用双恶魔法+贼：控制+爆发型，法师的爆发力略胜术士，不过容错性非常小，游戏相似组合还有法+野D，法+暗牧法+法：双冰法控制，综合来说还不错，续战力也存活能力也很强。双奥法的秒杀流一经提出就被喷的面目全非，我本人其实尝试过这个组合，可惜装备只有S2，法伤最多也只能撑到102X（现在能高不少），魔兽队友情况也差不多。这样的组合容错性低的离谱，虽然有10000+HP 400+韧性，但是感觉一被打就瞬间死，而且跑还跑不掉，所以这个打法还是更适合高端副本装，反正一样死很快。组合上还是克死战士队，别和我提盾反，网络游戏那么明显的动画效果能吸到个火冲不错了。网游基本上能够硬顶过我们5秒的职业只有骑士，冰法，盗贼和恶魔SS了。打盗贼队伍，如果是盗贼+看的见，一律先把看的见的OOXX了，双盗贼很难打，2斗篷我们免费网络游戏直接去一人。最后被一个队恶魔SS+骑士卡住了，因为奥法的后续爆发几乎没有，开局秒恶魔SS和骑士都不成功。感觉装备足够猛的话，2000是没问题的，2000以后看能否连好沉默来秒SS了。法伤最好是NOBUFF 1200+以上，最新网游保证秒杀的成功率，可以不用考虑血和韧性，建议装备牛B的法师们平时娱乐使用，非常畅快的战斗贼+暗牧：爆发力非常强的组合，而且他们的视频里很不厚道的最新免费网络游戏吃了金童3场贼+野D：第一赛季闷+盲+消失补闷+飓风的完美控制秒杀型队伍，不过在徽章能解所有控制技能之后容错性大大降低了。
