Big Sur Taco

(831) 917-1244

Despite the hipness of food trucks, the mobile kitchen idea is nothing new. Cowboys and vaqueros herding cattle relied on early food trucks (they called ’em “chuck wagons”). But nowadays, for fresh, handmade tortillas, perfectly cooked and seasoned fillings and complex salsas, look no further than Big Sur Taco. Often found at farmers markets, locations in Carmel Valley and Ryan Ranch, this truck offers the best tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas and bowls this side of the Rio Grande. Check Facebook for locations and times. Watch the salsas, though. The spicy ones could knock even the heartiest cowpoke out of his boots.
