El Chapis Tacos y Mariscos

Stopped by this new food truck currently located in the Roger's Tire Shop lot.  The truck has a wide variety of proteins, including some interesting ones like birria and buche (pork stomach).  I went with one each of the carne asada, carnita, and tripa tacos, and washed it down with a pineapple agua fresca.  

The street tacos are $3 each, and you get small tacos with two corn tortillas.  They are, however, generously filled.  They have one red salsa that is pretty spicy but manageable.  No mystery meat here, each one was very identifiable.  The carne asada had great flavor, the carnitas were very tender, and the tripa had that earthy flavor you would expect.  The agua fresca was generous (24 oz) but a bit watery.

Inflation bites.  The meal was $15 including the agua fresca and tax.  Service was polite and effective.  I've been watching the place for a few weeks and it seems to be consistently open, and I've seen a sign saying they are open as early as 6am, so if you stop in it should be available.  Their social game is not strong--can't find it on any social media.  A decent choice if you're hungry, but they might have to up their game to compete with Fatima's Pupusas and Snacks up the road.
