Our next stop was Tacos Tamix, a taco truck that specializes in tacos al pastor, which is sliced pork roasted on a vertical spit and shaved off directly into a tortilla. These were true Mexican tacos and they were fantastic.
Our third stop was Kogi, which Roy Choi, a Korean-American started as a food truck. Choi is credited with starting the gourmet food truck craze which is prevalent in L.A. and Seattle; Portland has taken it to a new level with an entire community of food trucks downtown. We had short-rib tacos with a fresh kimchi slaw - fabulous.
Last stop was Bäco which serves... well, not actual tacos but meat and slaw wrapped in a flatbread very much like naan, which in its own way is kind of taco-esque, if not technically a taco. We had green herb chicken with purple cabbage, lemon vinaigrette, thyme, and spiced yogurt. They were fancy and delicious, and a great way to end the evening with fellow travelers. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't until I was driving back to Silver Lake that I remembered it was my birthday. |
