SHOWDOWN
In this week’s Dive, we take a look at one of the finest dining traditions in the area — taco trucks. While these providers of meals on four
wheels aren’t typically revered with the same respect as restaurants, we thought it was high time these paragons of cheap and tasty tortilla-
wrapped fare received their due. Staff writers Rachel Arnett, Joe Faile and Jonathan Pattishall sampled various fare from Carrboro’s Captain
Poncho’s, Taqueria Jalisco and Costa Azul. As patron Ryan Mills put it, “I want to spend my whole paycheck here, but I can’t because it’s so
cheap.” As impoverished and constantly hungry college students, we couldn’t have said it any better ourselves.
