speaking of tuna tacos...

...if you live in any of the south eastern australian states, you are required to track down the location of the beatbox kitchen taco truck and eat a lot of fish tacos. they are delicious...potentially the food highlight of 2011 so far.

here are some trucks...



the one in the foreground is the relatively new taco truck. tonight they were serving fish and vege tacos. there is apparently also a beef version but this was not on the menu tonight. the silvery looking truck a bit further down the road is the original beatbox kitchen burger truck. rumor had it that these were the best burgers in melbourne. i dont agree. they are the best burgers you get out of a truck in melbourne, but my local fish and chip shop (which is ace) does better.

so, onto the star of the evening...


it's pretty simple. a fresh tortilla, some slaw (good and crunchy), poppy seed mayo, lime juice, a couple of chunks of perfectly fried fish, and a couple of drops of chilli sauce.

this was OUTSTANDING.

if you get wind of the taco truck being in your 'hood, waste no time and get down there.

also, if you happen to be an ethnographer looking into hipster culture, get yourself a spot and observe - it attracts lots of them, and they form into groups. you may have read previous comments here about hipsters - tonight was alright because (i) the food is worth it and (ii) i didn't have to interact with them.

moral of the story...track down the taco truck!!

  1. This looks seriously good. Did any of your party try the vegie version?

    You must get to mamasita and report back on their fish taco. In fact, take a large enough group that you can sample the entire menu (you know it's entirely gluten-free?).

  2. no, most of my party are allergic to vego food. they did sell out very quickly though - either because they are awesome or they didn't have many or a combination of them both.

    am itching for a trip to mamasita, but i think the taco truck is going to be easy for me to get into....
