Delicious Asada Tacos. Some of the best tortillas I've had at a taco place in Kansas City.
Taco Cacao is one of my favorite places in Kansas City to get authentic tacos. Taco Cacao is popular & well-known to KC locals as one of the best places to get tacos for many reasons. I'd also personally recommend ordering the side of rice along with your tacos because it is absolutely delicious! You may have seen this food truck driving around Kansas City, but did you know that you could go in person to buy your tacos as well at an actual stand? Eat your tacos outside or take them with you and eat them wherever you'd like! We ended up taking our tacos to a local park and having a picnic! Make sure to stop at this taco stand or at one of the taco trucks driving around the greater Kansas City area today!
So, SO happy I stumbled upon the Taco Cacao Food Truck on a rainy Tuesday afternoon...after years of wanting to try the tiny location on busy Wornall Road I was able to walk up and treat myself to a taco Tuesday! The food truck had parked itself in the visible location down the street from Cellar Rat and directly across from the Mexican Consolate in the Crossroads district. I wad stuck in a soggy situation and the white and red taco truck was a beacon shining in the rain awaiting my hunger to approach it. I confidently chose the red pork taco and the chicken pastor and the total was a tad bit surprising at $7 so $3.50 per taco but, I was withholding judgement for the taste test and boy, was I glad I did. These tacos were stuffed with heaping helpings of fresh meat and topped with plenty of pickled onions and crema. They were well worth their price tag. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the "red pork" taco consisted of tender juicy shredded pork, not the usual chunks of red pork that I'm used to at other Mexican restaurants. This just might be one of my top tacos ever! It coated my hands with the best red residue imaginable, that was top tier meat juice right there, you got the believe that I made sure to sop up all of it! The chicken pastor, so chicken cooked in pineapple, was ground which I also wasn't expecting and the crema that was on top of thus taco was a flavor bomb. All in all I preferred the pork taco over the chicken taco but both were a delicious way to celebrate Taco Tuesday albeit a little water logged.
