Having done a pretty thorough analysis of the food trucks in New York City while I was there, I thought it only right to do the same thing for the fair city of St. Petersburg, FL. I guess I should rename this post “The Food TRUCK of St. Pete,” because I could only find one. The Taco Bus!
Taco Bus is exactly what you want out of a food truck. It is open late (well, till 9 anyway) and they take credit cards. Hooray!
I decided to get two tacos. I really just wanted the carne asada, but they claimed to have a 5,000 year old Mayan recipe for Cochinita Pibil taco, so of course I had to try that too. These tacos were pork tacos, marinated in achiote and bitter orange then wrapped in banana leaves and slow roasted in a smoker. At least according to the menu. Now, I don’t know what an achiote is, but regardless, they were delicious. Those Mayans, right?!
So that’s it for the food trucks of St. Pete. If I find any more I will certainly let you know. Because I’m getting kind of hungry again.
