Trading his Honda in as down payment for a used food truck, Azar took a risk and opened La Mex Taqueria. Over time he upgraded to a custom-designed, stabilized truck parked at a fixed location, 2630 Northgate Boulevard, next to Rico’s Pizza.
Azar and his crew season and prepare each of the seven types of meats and handcraft all of their salsas.
For a tamer taste you can chose from steak, pork and chicken. For a more authentic Mexican meal, I suggest trying the carne asada (roasted beef), lengua (beef tongue) or cabesa (beef cheeks).
I ordered a variety of tacos and at $1 each it was a bargain.
Taking a bite of the cabesa taco quickly brought to mind fond memories of my grandmother’s cooking. My dining partner commented, “Wow, these are just like the tacos I had in Mexico.”
The only downsides to dining at La Mex Taqueria is no place to sit and eat your meal and they don’t take credit cards. During the hour I was there, a steady stream of customers ordered their food to go.
The next time you are looking for something to eat, take the $6 you would spend on a fast food chain’s burger combo and head over to La Mex Taqueria. With tacos at $1 and tortas (Mexican sandwich) topping the menu at $5, you can’t go wrong.
