A Real LA Taco Truck: Tacos Tamix, Los Angeles
A quarter to 2 (ahem, A.M., mind you) and
Fifteen minutes until the striking hour when the city's best taco truck, found in a Do-It-Yourself car wash, will close. GT knows. He's had a promiscuous past with the other taco trucks in the city but has since named Tamix as city champ and has subsequently remained loyal. And we all have. Besides, you wouldn't want to bother trying other taco trucks after the Tamix experience, unless of course it's after 2AM, in which case you are S.O.L. GT breathing sigh of relief after making it before closing. See, Al Pastor meat is analogous to Gyro meat: magically spiced and marinated meat (al pastor being pork-based and gyro being lamb-based) slowly flame cooked on a vertical rotisserie, infecting the air with contagious hunger pain fumes. Only difference, besides being pork-based, is the pineapple on top, whose juices serve as an enzyme, breaking down the meat to further tenderize it. Tamix adds a bonus chunk of pineapple to every taco. Big buckets of fresh salsas, chopped onions, cilantro and pickled veggies are arranged in a DIY formant.Tamix not only has superior al pastor, but incredible alambre: a mess of bell peppers, onions, cheese and meat served with a bundle of foil wrapped tortillas. More DIY stuff and fun to share, just don't get stuck holding the plate. Tamix's meat is on the lean side, I have yet to bite into a suspicious chunk of fat or miscellaneous gelatinous body party. The cheese serves as a perfect binding mechanism to link the peppers and onions with the meat to make a big fiesta in my mouth sans the mariachi. Assembled Alambre taco 2: 42 A.M. and everyone is happy. Tacos TamixAt a car wash near Pico and Westmoreland Los Angeles, CA related searches : Real
