El Volcan
Various locations, Monterey County (831) 578-4467
Like an Autobot or an Insecticon from the cartoon series Transformers, seeing a favorite food truck parked and ready to serve can be transformational. The El Volcan truck is decorated with enough color to be spotted from the ISS and is no stranger to long lines after it engages its parking brake. They serve classic Mexican fare like al pastor, cabeza, chorizo, carne asada, all of which can be eaten in taco, torta or burrito form. In the kitchen, the cooks are known for their sizable portions that tend to flow out of tortillas like lava from a volcano.
