Ever have a Vietnamese taco?


"Hello! My name is Misa Chien, and I am the co-owner of Nom Nom Truck. We are currently traveling across the country alongside the Food Network with our food truck, and NYC is our final stop! We are filming the largest Food Network show of the year, and we would love for you to spread the word!

Nom Nom Truck is a female-owned business, and our co-owner and chef Jen cooks up delicious Vietnamese fusion dishes such as our Lemongrass Chicken taco (just featured in Saveur Magazine for the best tacos in LA!), our Carne Asada Vietnamese sandwich, and our Honey Grilled Pork Banh Mi (just featured in Sunset Magazine!). We are also happy to say that we were just voted best restaurants in LA by Travel and Leisure Magazine!

Our goal is to create delicious and fresh food that will make NYC say NOM! (Nom means when you eat something and it's so delicious you have to make a noise - nom nom!)

We will be serving in the Astoria area of Queens this afternoon (~2 PM)."

And this wasn't part of the letter, but they are in a competition and need to make $500 in Queens in order to move onto the next round. They don't know exactly where they will be yet, but "near the beer garden" is a sure thing.

(Don't worry, this is the only pro-taco truck post you will ever see here.)

Excuse me, Crapper, I hate to bother you, but what time do they now give the medications out?

I suppose I deserve that for my moment of weak kindness.

Does it really hurt that much to not hate for a moment or two?
Some people like good food, even if that good food is served from an establishment on wheels.

Will they be wearing gloved hands serving the Nom-Noms and taking the money as well? Just like our stalwart pizzeria guys do -not!

Take in a movie this weekend. There's a great new George Romero film out - The Night of the Living Taco Truck.

This is nothing and likely all legit.

Has anybody taken a stroll down Roosevelt ave under the El.
Must be 100's of push roach-mobiles under the pidgin saturated El, no refrigeration, special handling, nothing.
The cops walk right bye only interested in automobile related violations

Roosevelt Avenue?

You must mean Roach-a-world Avenue.

Yeah! It gives new meaning to the expression...the pitter patter of little feet.

Yeah on Grand Avenue. The Tex Mex place there does not have one person of Spanish persuasion of any kind making tacos or burrito's... And it tasted like it.

A burrito that tasted like Chinese food didn't work for me....

astorians.com NOT said...

But the folks on astorians.com just RAVE about taco trucks.

Ain't in Davenport Iowa ya know.

Besides, it diverts attention from the disasterous rezoning and the rapacious clubhouse pulling the strings of everything.

Dont those Astorians.com flakes hang out at the Bohemian beer garden devouring that greasy bad food?
