On Friday afternoon, Chris and I headed into town to hit up the monthly food truck festival, Eat the Street. We went in the mid afternoon-- far earlier than we should have-- so it was definitely too sunny and hot for our liking-- lesson learned. Next month, we'll be going at sunset in order to avoid melting into the pavement. 

But besides a cranky overheated Lindsay, we had a great date afternoon. There were scores of food trucks with all kinds of delicious foods to sample. Roasted corn? Check.  Shrimp tacos? Yup. Guava ribs? Mmmhm. Waffle dogs?? Um, yeah, those too. I was intrigued, but we went for the dynamite tempura shrimp (which were aaah-mazing) instead. 

By far, my favorite was the tacos al pastor (above). While I lived in Mexico, I ate these ALL the time. It's basically meat that is seasoned and grilled on a rotisserie thingie and then shaved off and served in a taco with onions, pineapple, cilantro and lime. It's to die for and I had been searching high and low since I came home for a good tacos al pastor. Well, I found it and I was so impressed with these. Don't you love how a taste and smell can bring back memories? Chris proposed to me in Mexico while I worked there {read our story here} and ate lots of tacos al pastor together there, so he appreciated the authentic taste as well. YUM.

Do you love foodtrucks as much as us? What's your favorite street food?
