On the west side of Whitewater, near Daniels Sentry, one finds the Los Agaves taqueria truck. It was gone for a bit, not long ago, but it’s back regularly now.
It’s a simple white truck with Mexican fare: tacos, tortas, burritos, tostados, sincronizadas, chiminchangas, gorditas, and quesadillas among one’s choices. Most of these selections have a few options, of steak, pork, chicken, or beef.
A few vegetarian selections are available, too.
For those who’ve never had Mexican cola, you’ll find it here, and find it’s very good, too. A selection of other Mexican sodas is on stock, including an always-satisfying mango flavor.
Service is prompt and friendly, with a staff of two, during my visits.
Among my favorites were pork tortas (for $5.00 or $6.50 as a dinner), and steak tostadas ($3.00 each).
These are generous portions of fresh ingredients, combined properly as a whole. Both characteristics are vital: ingredients must be fresh, and combined so that the mixture of several produces a satisfying dish. In this regard, I found the food at Los Agaves taqueria markedly superior to that I had at another Mexican restaurant not long ago.
Better to eat something enjoyable from a truck than something disappointing at table.
There’s more one could say – and that I have said – about food trucks, and anti-competitive attempts to keep them out of communities.
In this review, I’ll say something far simpler: this is good, fresh Mexican food served promptly and economically, from a friendly staff.
Go, and enjoy.
