Oh Taco Truck, Oh Taco Truck...

We sang to the woman working the window at the local taco truck last week.  I think she rushed our order ahead of others in line because she thought we were completely bonkers and wanted to get us out of there.  It's not as though we just randomly broke into song... well, maybe a little bit.

Here's how it all began.  Every time Dave and I drove by the corner the taco truck typically occupies, we check out the line, see how much traffic they're getting, and wistfully discuss stopping just for a little snack.  Generally we're en route somewhere or on the way home with a load of groceries from the market, so a stop is less than ideal.

One evening, just before Christmas, we drove by and the taco truck was not there.  Maybe it was the Christmas Music, but next thing you know, Dave and I were singing "O Taco Truck, O Taco Truck, where have your burritos gone to?" to the tune of "O Christmas Tree".  Gradually, this little ditty morphed into a full fledged jingle for the taco truck with several witty rhyming verses.

So, when we found ourselves at the taco truck - finally with a few minutes to stop for some of their amazing fare, we jokingly told the woman taking our order that we had missed coming there so much that we had written a taco truck song.  That, of course, led to her insisting we sing for our supper.

Aside from them now being a little bit afraid of us, the taco truck on the corner of Lakeville and E. Washington St. is terrific.  Super fresh and delicious food with a really wide variety of choices that include some of the more traditional Mexican dishes like beef tongue and my absolute favorite - fish tacos.  There are not many places where Dave and I can both get a fabulous meal, with fresh ingredients for less than $15 - but this place is the exception.

O Taco Truck, O Taco Truck
We really love your tacos
They're fresh and fast
with yummy beans
You dishes are so nice and lean
Oh Taco Truck, O Taco Truck...

You get the idea.
