One of the things I so desperately miss about living in Brooklyn are food trucks. Simple, fresh food trucks.
Sure, I love the gourmet wagons. What's not to love about Van Leeuwen's artisanal ice cream or Wafels& Dinges - except the cost?
But what I really miss are the ladies who roll their carts loaded with hot homemade tamales. And the taco trucks. Okay, I'm slow. I like to take my time about stuff - at least some stuff. So, after driving past Super Taqueria (2842 N Roxboro St, Durham, NC 27704) about a bazillion times this past year, I finally stopped in. Good things are definitely worth the wait. One word: fresh. Make that two words: flavorful. Did I mention cheap eats? Get the tacos de pastor and have fun with the salsa bar (although it reminds me of oddly enough of a 70s salad bar - not its offerings, just the set-up). For those who enjoy a venture into the brave unknown, there are tacos stuffed with variety meats - lengua (tongue) and tripa (tripe).
Since Durham's Latino population is larger than the state percentage by double, you wouldn't think I'd have trouble finding my comida.
