Taco Truck-Ecotes with Pescado and El Pastor

The Taco Truck one of the finalists for the Best of New Jersey Award was serving up sweet goodness from the country south of the border. 

They served me up Ecotes (Mexican name for corn on the cob), with two traditional mini taco’s…Pescado (fried fish taco), and Al Pastor (spit grilled meat) . 

Escotes is a popular street food in Mexico, is boiled in the husk and then grilled.  It is customary to consume elotes on a stick, or by grasping the husk of the cob that has been pulled down to form a "handle".   This one was on a stick with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime and a spice mixture of two traditional spices, epazote and chili de arbol. 

There play on Pescado was fried catfish with red cabbage, pico de gallo, Mexican tarter sauce and chipotle salsa wrapped up in a mini corn tortilla. 

Lastly was their version of Al pastor, adobo marinated pork, with onions, cilantro, pineapple and a fresh green salsa served again on a mini corn tortilla.

This was a really exciting example of street food, simple but oh so delisioso!
