I had a different cook, but still, it was awesome. I didnt try the tortas, but I everything I had was amazing and came to $6 (all the better considering I'm watching a Taco Bell commercial right now...ugh.) Anyway, definitely worth a much longer ride than I had!</p> I only live a couple of stops away from this place and Ive been meaning to check it out…thanks for giving me an excuse!

I just flew back to Boston, land of crap Mexican food, from my hometown of San Diego. I could cry at the lack of real, floury, lardy tortillas out here. So sad. </p> Um, what's the difference between a Mexican product and a product of Mexico?

It's pretty ubiquitous, and readily available in grocery stores with any kind of Latino population around. Crema's closest cousin is creme fraiche, but personally I'll take the crema.</p> The white sauce was probably what is just called crema.

The taco truck in Astoria on 30ave is actually down the block from where I live and I've definitely picked up some food there many times (last night I had the grilled steak burrito!). Really good stuff and worth the trip.</p> Food looks amazing.

This past Sunday I ordered tacos from the back of a bodega in Williamburg. Everyone raved about the place. Both honkies and Mexicans ate there. The meat, pork and chicken, were both so dry that it made me (insert frowny face). At least they sold authentic pork rinds.

Ever been to the taco truck in Astoria?
