El Paisano Taco Truck

This taco truck is just off the 113 Freeway in nearby Woodland, and is considered by some to be the best truck among several in that town. Proximity to Davis and superior quality make it easily worth the trip, considering that the Mexican food in Davis is generally blander than that from towns with a larger population of hispanics.

To get there from Davis, head west from 113 and it is on the south side of Main in the parking lot of Wood's Flooring and Supply Co.

Excellent tacos are comparable to those from fine trucks in Oakland and LA, and are served with a lime wedge, rabanito (radish) and red or green salsa. Choice of meats includes:

• azada/asada/beef
  

• adobada/al pastor/marinated pork
  

• carnitas/deep-fried pork
  

• lengua/tongue
  

• tripas/tripe
  

• pollo/chicken
  

• cabeza/beef cheek and head (particularly moist and tasty)

Also has burritos (vegetarian available, but may not be vegetarian) and drinks such as horchata and jamaica/hibiscus.

Not as good as the best of the Fruitvale neighbourhood in Oakland, but we should be thankful it is not too far away. —SimonChan
