The 99-cent taco is alive and well…

Taco Truck 1000000
Taco Truck 1000000, a classic Mexican kitchen on wheels, stays pretty much put on the parking lot next to the Favor Market at 2084 Favor Rd. SW near Pat Mell Rd. in Marietta. It isn’t the best, it isn’t the worst, but it is the only one in a part of Cobb County where a huge Mexican scene includes second (or third, or fourth) locations of restaurants such as El Taco Veloz, Las Tortas Locas, and more.
The taco truck is shaded by an awning and has a permanent annex with a basic dining room for on-premises consumption. The tortillas are great, the pickled vegetables awesome, and the salsa not so distinctive. Among the meats the cabeza (cow’s head meat, braised into submission) is stellar, the lengua (cow’s tongue) tender but not particularly well seasoned, and the al pastor (seasoned pork roasted on a spit) pretty standard.

Popular burritos, mulitas (“little mules”–grilled cheese sandwiches made with two corn tortillas and a meat of your choice), and Jarritos are dispensed from the taco truck as well and the experience feels muy autentica.

Taqueria del Sol’s taco truck isn’t dead; it’s just dormant. It and Chef David Walbert (pictured above) roll out for special events. If only the City of Atlanta would have it, you could have it, too, on a street near you.
