Walking through Soho trying to find out what "heat-generating clothing" is, I realized I needed a nosh, and there it was: the Tribeca Taco truck sitting right on Broadway. I had thought about attacking some street food on this trip, but realized I can only eat so much and would focus on ramen and burgers for now. However, opportunity reared its ugly head and I ordered the truck's namesake ($2.50), which is a soft taco filled with carne asado and spiced chicken, topped with lettuce, onions, cilantro and sauce (I picked Chipotle cream).
With the lime and sliced radish garnish, the taco actually reminded me (especially the smell) of Vietnamese pho or banh mi. It was messy, tasty and just the right size to tide me over till the next meal. It worked out very well as I soon would face a 30min+ wait for the A train back uptown, and I would have been a grumpy gus to do it on an empty stomach.
