You're right about the tacos size and price, but you're also right about their deliciousness. Have you been to the regular Mercadito, alot more variety. Have you had the churros? They were amazing when we had them, so good you didn't even need the chocolate dipping sauce. mmmm,

They do have a sauce though that they call "crack sauce" that everyone I know who is a fan swears by. I personally like to put a little Cholula on their just to spice it up a bit (they have packets of Cholula on the side of the truck). Everything I've eaten there has been great, but they are known for their carne asada, so when in doubt, you can't go wrong with a carne asada burrito and maybe a little "crack sauce" on the side... I'll check out your late night taco trucks piece. NYCFG, As for Calexico burritos and tacos, they stand up really well on their own.
