Yesterday a group of <a href="http://www.thislandpress.com/" target="_blank">This Landers</a> decided to go for some truck lunch.

<a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/58/1522271/restaurant/TU-Kendall-Whittier/Tacos-Fiesta-Mexicana-Tulsa" target="_blank">Tacos Fiesta Mexicana</a> is (dangerously) close to our offices at 12th and Peoria. We can practically smell the tortas, the burritos, the tacos asada from our front porch.

Don't even talk to me with your Taco Bell. That right there? That's for real. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/04/taco-truckin/7047992207_1402e6c00b_b/" rel="attachment wp-att-10995"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/7047992207_1402e6c00b_b-500x375.jpg" alt="Taco Fiesta Mexicana Tulsa, OK" title="Taco Fiesta Mexicana Tulsa, OK" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10995" /></a>

Especially if you've never done it, everyone reading this should try eating lunch or dinner from a truck sometime. Be sure to take some cash when you do, but don't worry about bringing the whole bank with you—my lunch of three tacos asada at TFM was about $4. Food trucks are cool because it allows restaurant entrepreneurs a chance to get into the business without having to risk a bunch of capital on rent and utilities for a bunch of brick and mortar. Plus, it's fun and easy to be a food truck customer. Just ask any of the people crowded around the hot dog carts in the Blue Dome District on a Saturday night. Just grab your food, dive into it while you enjoy the weather and the company of your friends, then belly right back up to the bar. And of course, nothing tastes better after a few beers than food from a truck or a cart. Carbs + fat = yay.

Plus, the candid, mid-chew photos are excellent with taco truck food.

Since this photo will likely displease <a href="http://thislandpress.com/sterlin-harjo/" target="_blank">Sterlin Harjo</a>, I'll now post a highly unflattering mid-chew photo of myself:

Oh. Ew. Ouch.

Hey, I'm not dumb. I know that my 29th birthday cake will probably feature this photo somehow. 

In fact, I don't expect it. I demand it.

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/04/taco-truckin/6901895304_25f463696d_b/" rel="attachment wp-att-10997"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6901895304_25f463696d_b-500x375.jpg" alt="Tacos Fiesta Mexicana Tulsa, Oklahoma" title="Tacos Fiesta Mexicana Tulsa, Oklahoma" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10997" /></a>

One more thing: When you find the taco truck, don't be afraid to try the beef cheek. It's a delight.
