Spokane Food Blog

With the amount of surface-level parking lots downtown, I can’t help but wonder why more food carts don’t take advantage of them. They’re fairly common place elsewhere, and I don’t see any reason why we can’t see more carts around Spokane.

The good people at the rather fabulously named Tacos el Sol are apparently seeing things the same way, as they just opened a taco truck at 1st and Washington, on the north parking lot by the MinnOak buildings.

And like the location, the tacos are good. Possibly not quite something that will tear you away from De Leon, but El Sol has the advantage of being downtown’s only taco truck.

My lengua and asada tacos tasted liked you’d expect a good truck taco to taste: nicely grilled on two corn tortillas, topped with onion and cilantro. You have the option to add a green and red salsa, neither of which were overly spicy, but added a bit of flavor to the mix.

A fairly standard taco truck experience in other words, but how many frills do you really want from a place like this? I give them props for filling a dull surface lot with simple yet tasty food.

Tacos el Sol is located at 1st and Washington downtown.
