El Carrito Rojo

texmex and the feeling here is great. filled me up in no time. had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. it has a good atmosphere. food and feeling reminds me of kansas city.

Parked on 19th Street from Mon–Fri, and on Governors Island at the weekends, this Mexican-food food truck serves up tasty tacos and such. I loved the cecina (salted beef) taco with its tender, flavourful slices of meat, chopped cilantro & onion, and avocado crema. The chicken taco was well-seasoned and tender, too. Two tacos was a perfect lunch. The empanadas are of the fried, short-pastry-style, and pretty large.
Kind staff who know how to deal patiently with indecisive tourists, too :)
