]]> Comment on Taco Zone- Echo Park Taco Truck by Canadian Coffee Break: F#ck The Coffee It’s Taco Time http://goodgoings.com/2007/01/11/taco-zone-taco-truck/#comment-1075 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:34:08 +0000 http://goodgoings.com/2007/01/11/taco-zone-taco-truck/#comment-1075 [...] Marc JG Ballard once said that border between the first and third world ran through LA along Wilshire boulevard. Of course LA’s urban geography being what it is, there’s no real rhyme or reason to the distribution of wealth, so Culver City bumps up against Inglewood, and Mount Washington against Cypress Park, but as far as the taco truck phenomenon goes, I’d suggest Ballard’s border to be somewhere around the LA river. Personally I’m a fan of taco zone, which parks in Echo Park by Alvarado and Sunset. I actually have a buddy who’s doing his MFA thesis at USC making a mobile phone accessible system of his own personal reviews tacos trucks, you can read his reviews here for now. In Montreal where I loved for 10 years, tacos were not to be found, it was all shwarma and shish taouk. So i’m down with the the taco. I’ll do buche and stuff like that no problem. Tripe I’ve never been that hot on. In Mexico they actually have the friggin cow’s head in the little rickshaw thing they cook out of, and they’ll carve out the eyeball for you, if you ask nice. That kind of thing is more on a case by case basis. [...] […] Marc JG Ballard once said that border between the first and third world ran through LA along Wilshire boulevard.

I was just thinking about them last week as I drove thru Atwater on my way back to work in Glendale after a meeting in Downtown LA. I missed the turn to check if they were still there. I used to buy sandwiches from them 20-30 years ago. They sold a ham & cheese on french roll for 50 cents back then... and I would buy 10-15 sandwiches on Fridays and bring them into work for the office. How much are the ham & cheese sandwiches now??

It's a permanently-parked truck at what used to be a do-it-yourself car wash place. They have a fruit drink stand and some tables under a canopy also.
