Tacos. Is there ever a wrong time? This time we try the tacos at the food truck Tacos Santa Fe in New Haven.
All the tacos here are double shelled, but they can’t be pried apart. Meaning you get lots of shell taste.
Taco pollo
Shredded chicken that completely dominates the taco.
There is at least a lot of it.
But the shredded chicken is in an odd sauce.
One that almost makes it taste…sour.
Not great.
The Rating: Tacos Pollo
5.5/10
Taco al pastor
Slow-roasted pork with pineapple.
The pork has good flavor, but the pineapple is not ripe.
This gives the tacos an unpleasant crunch while you eat.
The pork has a good flavor, but that’s about it.
The Rating: Tacos al Pastor
6.5/10
Taco Arabes
Back to pork, this time with caramelized onions.
This is really nice.
The sauce on the pork has a super smoky chipotle quality to it.
Leading to a smoky spiciness.
The caramelized onions add a sweetness that blends very nicely together.
Overall, real solid.
