You wouldn’t be alone if you often scratched your head wondering exactly what they were doing there. These are the loncheras, or taco trucks, that have become übiquitous in the Ttiangle area, and most recent ly Carrboro, as the Hispanic popula tion has grown and immigrants are looking for a taste of home. These tacos are nothing like the soggy-shelled, lettuce-and-dog food-filled abominations found at Taco Bell. These are authentic Mexican tacos. Small soft corn tortillas enclose myriad meats, from spicy roasted pork and came asada steak to more bizarre offerings such as cow stom ach and tongue; the perfect anti Are you currently experiencing PAIN Utl/r around one or both of your lower vtw WISDOM TEETH?

Martinez had been working at Cliff’s Meat Market on West Main Street in Carrboro for 11 years when he decided to buy a taco truck to make some extra money. Two years later, his truck is one of three that stake out in parking lots and sell tacos to Carrboro’s night owls on various evenings throughout the week. Cliff Collins, owner of Cliff’s Meat Market and Tolo’s boss of 13 years, gave permission for the taco truck to sit in his parking lot because he knew it would help a valued employee. “I said, ‘I don’t know of a better place to put it,’” Collins says. ““You can make a little money on the side and help feed your family.’” Despite many fans throughout Carrboro, there have been issues with the tracks, including a zoning 211}? SaUg (Har Hrrl incident earlier this year. Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton says that after an anonymous complaint about the zoning of the taco trucks, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen was forced to change the zoning laws for mobile food vendors. They eventually settled on a series of permits that allows the trucks in parking lots, a permit that all of the trucks now hold, accord ing to Collins. Collins thinks that the trucks only add to the culture and liveli ness of downtown Carrboro. “Carrboro is jumping more now” Collins says. “At 7 or 8 o’clock when it started getting dark, it started shutting down. It’s good to have a taco stand at 11 at night when people are still walking.” Even Chilton enjoys patronizing the taco stands late on weekend nights. “I just actually went to one on Saturday night. I’m a chicken taco man.” Contact the Diversions Editor at dive@unc.edu
