Fast forward
a few weeks later and with my luck a foodie co-worker comes into my office with
a copy of an article on Taqueria Dos Hermano from the Birmingham News! The next
Wednesday we gave it a try!
THE MENU: Basic and to the
point! There are over 6 meat choices (all written in Spanish) and around 4 ways
to enjoy them (tacos, tortas, burritos, or quesadilla). I ordered the Chicken
quesadilla and my coworker the same plus a taco. I have to say, I wish there
was a listing of what actually accompanied an entree because I was a bit
disappointed to find no onions or sour cream on my plate. The tortilla of the
quesadilla was crisp and the portion size was fair. I’d give it a 5 on a 10-point
scale, the lack of points mostly for missing flavor. The taco on the other hand
was superb in the flavor category as it was sprinkled with fresh cilantro and
accompanied by a wedge of lime! The taco was served on a corn tortilla, which
has a very distinct flavor!

THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE: Equipped
with a flat screen television, that was currently broadcasting the Olympics,
the truck was neat and clean and did I mention shiny! There was no real
interaction with the individuals inside the truck as he kinda stuck his head
out, took your order, and headed back in. Perhaps the lunch hour and the heat
zapped a little of his southern charm. I
was tempted to purchase a beverage just for the nostalgic glass containers they
were served in! There seemed to be some regulars out and the service was pretty quick.
THE VERDICT:
Not exactly my style of Mexican cuisine but a fun
experience non the less! I really love seeing the food trucks out and about in my
city! It’s a great indication of the possibilities of progress!
