I Should Have Know Better! in Houston TX
I arrived in Houston this morning and stopped for breakfast at a big red taco truck at 21022 Aldine Westfield Rd, Humble, TX 77338
Not knowing anything about the food, i looked at what the locals were ordering - tacos!
First, how many: Locals looked like three was the correct answer.
Next, Corn or Flour: Locals, corn.
Finally: Beef, Chicken, or pork. I said pork; as I am experimenting, I should have said one of each.
Then I see that there is a 'special' beans available today:
So, i am going to have to have these "Cowboy Beans".
Then a drink, sodas, ice tea, and a couple of beverages I was not familiar with. The guy at the counter, pointed, let me sample, and I opted for the
First I got the beans:
I already took a bite at this point, It was delish. Thanks to wikipedia I can tell you:
The dish is characterized by pinto beans stewed with onion, garlic, and bacon.
Then came out the taco:
There was a fresh tomato and onion salsa (not pictured). Note the grilled onions and pepper on the back of the plate. The tacos were wonderful, they were exactly what I was hoping for.
I joined the locals at the picnic table and we all enjoyed our tacos. We did not speak the same language, but we were able to communicate enough to point out the wind was picking up and joke about the rain coming and our need to hurry.
When the rain did come, We all laughed, grabbed our food, and headed for shelter. I scooped up my mostly empty plate to throw away and my drink. I tossed the only thing left into my mouth: the grilled serrano pepper.
That was a mistake... My mouth was on fire the next 40 minutes while i drove through the rain to my next destination.

Jersey City Taqueria
Irene went to Jersey City Medical Center this afternoon, we hope she'll be alright.
We like this place and I've always done take out so we thought we would try eating in. It turns out it's warm enough that their backyard is open and we were able to eat outside. The lively place with music and lights. And the warm November weather really was lucky.

A stop while shopping : On The Border
A quick stop while shopping.
The shrimp was done perfectly. The bowl was a de constructed taco, so we wanted tortillas. The fried avocado was interesting.

Great Tacos from a Great Taco Truck : Pico Taqueria
Pico Taqueria - 6382 Maddox Blvd. Chincoteague, VA 23336
We had the Menu special with 2 Chincoteague Classic (Lettuce, pico de gallo, cotja, creme fraiche with your choice of chicken, pork, beef or fish) [we chose fish and chicken] then we added The Maddox
(Local cornmeal fried oyster, pickled carrots, daikon, tartar sauce, fresh thai basil) and The Main Street (Seared and seasoned shrimp, chipotle creme fraiche, green cabbage slaw, guacamole, queso fresco) -- We had 4 totally different taste experiences, and all of them were wonderful. The flavor profiles of each taco were specifically designed and balanced for each protein.
They have picnic tables in the back and an area to play some simple lawn games.
