Meals on Wheels: Taqueria el Porvenir
Yesterday afternoon, I got a text from my friend John letting me know that there were a ton of taco trucks parked along Summer Ave. Never one to resist the siren call of a taco wagon, I got in my car and started driving east, determined to stop at the first truck I saw.
