I've had my eye on this food truck for a while now and just got around to giving it a try. I stopped in on a hot day and got some street tacos, arroz con leche, and a jamaica agua fresca.
The street taco plate comes with five tacos and charro beans. They only let you choose two proteins, so I got fajita and barbacoa with cilantro and onion. The barbacoa was tender and juicy as expected. The fajita meat was exceptionally tender and tasty. The tacos are served on corn tortillas. They advertise homemade tortillas but I think they mean the flour ones, these looked purchased but they were quite good. The charro beans were fine, nothing particularly noteworthy.The Arroz Con Leche had plenty of leche--nice, not too sweet milk with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, topped with nuts. It was pretty liquid, one could almost drink it. It was a very generous serving but would be tricky to share, I am sure you could ask for multiple cups and they would do it for you. They had five different dessert items on the menu, most places will just have one or two. The jamaica was very good. It was a large serving (24+ ounces), not too strong but perfect for washing down the meal. I was grateful for the coolness and drank it all.
This is a place that puts aesthetics on par with the food. The dining area is attractive, lots of nice clean tables and a cute patio/dance area decorated with pink umbrellas. If you eat there it will be off a beautiful ceramic plate. My tacos were served on red tortillas and nicely arranged. There are other food trucks that pay attention to atmosphere but this place probably does it the best.
Service was polite and prompt. I've driven by several times and the truck has always been open when they say it will be, which is very important for a standalone, "destination" food truck. There was another food truck I was planning to review today, but it wasn't open when it said it was.
Overall, I can't find any real fault with Nuestro Corazon Mexicano. Go give them a try.
