El Taquito Mexicano Truck
El Taquito taco truck, a truck I heard of while I was still posting on Yelp, but never visited since I was living in Torrance at the time. Time passed and I've relocated in the area and HELLO Tacos! Inspired by a post by PK, Gourmet Pigs and I ventured off towards the truck that's stationed at Nishikawa Auto Services on Fair Oaks.
Menu and Other Signs
The menu here is simple, yet there are plenty of meat to choose from. There are seven different types of meat choices, including cabeza (head), lengua (tongue), and the ever safe asada (steak). At $1.25/each, it's one of the best late night choices in the Pasadena area. Along with the meat choice, you're able to pick from either verde (green) salsa or roja (red). For those that prefer a spicier option, like myself, the roja is the way to go.
Tacos
Tacos
I ended up ordering 5 different tacos, one of each meat except asada and pollo (chicken) since those are too "normal." After looking at these pictures, I honestly have no idea what meat was what, but I'll just say, the tacos really hit the spot on a late Summer evening!
Iced Cold Sapporo

What else goes better with tacos than some iced cold beer. I know it's not Dos Equis, Corona, or any other brand of Mexican beer, but cold beer + tacos spells winner for me, every single time!
El Taquito Mexicano Truck may not be the best taco truck I've ever had, but in Pasadena, it's hard to find any better option than this. There's another truck down the street, but I'd stick to Taquito everytime! Seriously, forget Kogi, Calbi, and any of these random food trucks that's been popping all over West LA/DTLA. I personally will stick to these "roach coaches" everytime, anytime!
*Update 12/15/09* El Taquito serves Horchata! Large is $2!

Nice. One of my favorite taco trucks to visit! Their salsa has great flavor. I'm jealous that you are right around the corner because I usually have to eat off my trunk.

Sorry that I didn't have any Mexican beer at my house, I'll do better next time (or will I?).
