Tacos Without Borders

I had the spicy, spicy peanut chicken tacos.  Soft shelled and delicious!  While they have a kick, they are not unbearably spicy.  Just right.  They have some slaw stuff on them that cuts the heat a little.  The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. These tacos were da bomb dot com.  Wish they would come to Kansas City!  Well worth $8 for three.  Buy them!

I tried this truck downtown during all the Super Bowl hoopla, and I can't say I was blown away.
I loved the food trucks in Philly, which are plentiful and competitive (pricewise), so I was a little dismayed to see that a very small taco was $3.  I guess since food trucks are "so hot right now" (Mugatu), they feel justified in their prices.
However, the guys working the truck were very friendly.  They offered to let us try the different meats before we got anything, and if you know me, free is the quickest way to my heart.  My friend and I sampled the Sweet Chile Chicken, which I did not like (too sweet), but she loved.  I ended up getting a normal ground beef taco, which tasted like the Old El Paso taco kit that I make at home.  Yeah, it was good, but nothing amazing.
The toppings on the taco were pretty cool.  I wasn't sure what it was exactly, but it seemed like some kind of cucumbery/cabbagey thing with feta-like cheese on top?  It was dark, and I couldn't see what I was eating, but they tasted really good and unique.

Food Tried: ($7 for three tacos)

First off, I owe one of my monumental, and quite common, apologies to Tacos Without Borders for not having written this review four weeks ago when I promised I would, but I ended up jumping on a plane to Paris and getting caught up in three weeks of work and now you know it's been a month and it's Christmas and the least I could do to finish getting caught up on what I said I would do before the end of the year. Also, what with having just switched phones, the photos on my old phone are now in Indianapolis, while I am in Denver for the holidays. Which basically means that I am doing the best I can and it's a sad effort and I apologize.

So I had Tacos Without Borders back before Thanksgiving, and given that they can officially be titled The Most Elusive Food Truck in the city, when I found out that they would be parked outside one of the new breweries in town, Triton Brewing, I decided it was an unmissable opportunity: new food and new beer. When I came out, it was freezing, but as my food was prepared, I stood up in the front of the truck near the heater, and then brought my food into the brewery to enjoy it. I had the pleasure of trying a few Triton brews, and ended up pairing with the Magnificent Amber. I wanted to mention that because I made sure to mention to the bartender and various patrons that I was writing a blog and would definitely give props to Triton for putting me up while I sampled the fares.

I can't remember exactly what I had, but I know that the base taco was a Thai chicken taco, and that the other two tacos I tried had the Thai sauce as a base, and one was curried, while the other was sweet. I couldn't honestly tell you which one I loved more, because they were all overwhelmingly flavorful in a great way, but the spicy, curried taco made my mouth burn so much that no beer nor water could abate the fire. Seriously, I have never had food so spice yet so amazingly good. I couldn't stop eating, despite the pain. I sacrificed myself for that meal, folks, and I'd do it again, despite what I'm sure was permanent tissue damage. Just warning folks: Tacos Without Borders does HOT.

The presentation of my food was great: three tacos tucked in side-by-side, topped with fresh fruits and veggies, crunchy, hot, and juicy. The time I waited in the truck was well worth it, as was the price (as I could repeat again, which was standard for the trucks). For recommendations, it's been a while, but I feel like the best thing I could try to suggest is that there been better publicity for when you're going to be on the road, because often I've missed good opportunities to have great food from the truck because I couldn't plan ahead with advance notice.
