Bus, truck, trailer. It doesn’t matter what you call a taco truck. They’re all vehicles for delivering delicious, affordable, portable Mexican food.

Tacoma’s taco truck scene burgeons. Five years ago, you might have had trouble finding one. Today, taco trucks materialize in unexpected places – from suburban Puyallup to funky Sixth Avenue. Credit a nationwide mobile food trend, television shows dedicated to the topic and the dying perception that food trucks make for unsafe eating.

You’ll find longer lines this time of year, but most taco trucks here have covered seating to extend year-round taco truck dining beyond a summer al fresco excursion (if you could even call this summer).

Take a ride into Taco town with my five favorite trucks, plus four more to try.
