There are those who say that Taco Trucks are a scourge to civilized society. That they represent the lowest that the Western World can sink. That they epitomize all that has gone wrong with the world, since Rome fell so many years ago. But amidst the busy lights and words of those who lament the passing of something that they never knew, other voices can be discerned. Whether it is the busy wage slave who desperately seeks some nourishment and a little variety or the 2:00 a.m. reveller who needs something to satisfy when most places have shut their doors...there are those who will always seek out the TACO TRUCK.
We set out on a cold February day to discover what kind of culinary delights we could find at the Tacos El Guanajuato taco truck (usually parked on the East side of the Village Square Mall in Dodge City. We pulled up and a friendly guy jogged out to take our order. Nice, considering how darn cold it was!
The prices were reasonable and the "waiter" spoke a little English and was polite and helpful in taking our orders and answering our questions.
On to the reviews!
K-Dawg had a steak burrito and a tongue taco. His review is summed up with "I was hungry and now I'm not". He noted that the meat was a little overcooked but he still enjoyed it and said that the tongue taco was great. He gave them a 4.5 on our 5 point scale-so far, the highest that a Taco Truck has scored!
I had the same steak burrito that K-Dawg had but found that overcooked meat to be a real downer in what was otherwise a pretty good burrito. The pork taco was good, though. I gave them a 3.5 but I'd like to try them again, since K-Dawg insists that this burrito was not typical.
The Scotsman : He had a steak burrito and a beef taco. He lamented the corn tortillas and once again mentioned that he's a "flour man". His quote "this is more than adequate" and he backed that up with a 4 on our 5 point scale.
I think that T.G.'s (as I'm calling it) has a niche. I would totally join the throng of weekend partiers that get early morning food there. I also thing it is a great alternative to the dismal eating options in North Dodge. It's solid-and actually scored higher than many sit down places we've reviewed.
Taco trucks are the scourge of modern society. When the great killing disease comes, it will be spread through taco trucks. I, the prophetess of the great City of Dodge, thus predict and proclaim it.
