    I live in the northeast and was blown away the first time I had a burrito from a truck in the southwest. My immigration plan is to have a Mexican food truck on every corner of America. I don’t care how it happens. I’ll have ICE agents reverse deport people. Friggin kidnap them from Mexico and give them a truck and a parking lot or sidewalk. Everyone in America must experience what I have experienced.

    /s, though I do take this position facetiously in immigration arguments.

      Food Trucks are the best way to get great & affordable food in the US.

      I, personally… always head to the area with the most food trucks when I go to a big city. It’s where things be happenin’, baby!!!

      …as far as small to middle sized Midwestern towns, they are often the best places to find food for hundreds of miles. It’s all “word of mouth” too. So if it’s good, you’ll make bank. If it’s bad, goodbye. No ‘Yelp’ necessary.

      You learn to trust the food trucks when you travel.

        I feel that. Best burger I ever had was in the middle of nowhere and the nearest “city” had precisely two main roads and that’s it.

      Bowling for Soup was a local band that made it big.

      They have a song, “Ohio (Come back to Texas)” with a line that says “the Mexican food sucks north of here anyways.”

      I have recently moved from Texas a little north and east, but still firmly in the south… man, I can get catfish on the corner, but I can’t find a decent taco to save my life. My wife is craving some GOOD Mexican food, and I keep telling her, she’s unlikely to find it here unless she learns Espanol.
