Almost daily over the last few weeks I’ve driven by Tony’s Tacos food truck (located at Louisiana and Domingo).  Actually, it wasn’t until today I saw that it had a name.  All I had seen before was the large “Tortas” sign out front.  I’ve been wanting to try it but haven’t for one reason or another.  Usually it’s because I’m going or coming from somewhere and just haven’t made the time.  Today, I stopped.  That’s how I saw that the “Tortas” truck actually had a name.  The menu isn’t big – tortas, gorditas, tacos, burritos – but I don’t think it needs to be.  Just walking up to the truck had my mouth watering.  It smelled so good!  Even if they only offered one thing, I would have been okay with that.  I ordered a torta al pastor – spicy pork sandwich.  Here is where I really want to say that it was amazing and the most delicious torta I have ever had… Sadly, I can’t.  It was good… but, that’s about it. I thought it would be shredded or even cubed pork, but it was ground.  The torta was pretty typical with spicy pork, lettuce, avocado, tomato and mayonnaise.  It was accompanied by some kind of sauce (I poured and ate it before trying to figure out what it was, oops).

Had I more time, I would go back and try other items.  The other customer there (the one in the picture) said he goes all of the time.  Alas, I’ve just found out that I have only a few more weeks here and many more food trucks to try so this one will not be getting a repeat visit.  Not to mention, in my search for Albuquerque food trucks, I found out that the Albuquerque beer week has just started.  Obviously, that’s a must do… Speaking of which…
