El Norteno Taco Truck, parked in a lot at the corner of 6th & Bryant near the SF courthouse is no exception… the carnitas that came out the side of this truck was excellent.  The carne asada, while not quite as impressive as the carnitas (could have used more onion and cilantro), still exceeded the quality of that found at most other SOMA taquerias.  Only the camarones were a little overcooked, but when you’re getting seafood from the side of a truck, better safe than sorry.   All three tacos I had were drizzled with salsa verde that meshed incredibly well with both the carnitas and carne asada.

The best, though: these tacos are actually tacos that you can hold in your hand, not half-a-pound of meat thrown on a single corn tortilla.

Of the 9 of us that trekked over to the El Norteno taco truck, I heard no tale of gastrointestinal woes… perhaps that’s because we’re all hardcore enough to handle the heat and leave the others behind to Chavos.
