La Elegante Truck, Fresno

I get the idea that the meat in Adobada is marinated, which I like, although I prefer an al pastor style. I do not specifically care for a pool of liquid in any taco I eat. When there is enough liquid pooling in the dish to start breaking down the tortilla, it’s way too much (look at the pool of liquid at the bottom of the photo). I speak of balance with tacos, ratios. The amount of liquid that resides in this taco created an imbalance and therefore, lessened the dish and the experience.

However, the cabeza tacos was quite tasty. Thoroughly seasoned with a generous, but even heat from the picante, these tacos were very good. Here, the ratio of fat to meat was in balance, no pool of fat and only a beautiful little drip, drip, drip from the edge of the tortilla. I was very pleased with the outcome of my cabeza taco order.

 

Other taco related items of interest, La Elegante uses big tortillas instead of small ones and limits garnish to iceberg lettuce, both of which I think could be improved upon.
