Los Tres Hermanos

I had heard good things about the Los Tres Hermanos taco truck, and suddenly it's settled into my work neighborhood so I went there for lunch. One instant drawback is that the menu is unclear -- they have sopes, tacos, and a number of other things, but you'd never know it from looking at the menu. There are lots of meat choices for your taco. I ordered carne asada, and it was a wonderful contrast of crispy outsides and tender insides. The ordertaker speaks good english, and asks if you want everything (onions, sauce, cilantro) -- I asked them to hold the onions, which they did. Each taco comes on two hand-made fresh tortillas. I also ordered beans, which were kinda soupy, but velvety, and I was impressed that he asked if I wanted cheese, and if so, American or Mexican. The frijoles are great with a bit of Mexican cheese and a little salsa. Prices are about what you'd expect -- my two tacos with a side bowl of beans were $5. Very filling, and I'll definitely be back.
