Attack-A-Taco Vegan Taco Truck

Usually found sitting on the outskirts of the parking lot of the Natural Grocers on 78th and Dodge, Attack-A-Taco is sweet place for some really good food with an uncommon twist. Everything they serve is vegan, organic, and environmentally friendly! For example, they have a compost next to the garbage bin for your plates and cups. When you first arrive, lively traditional Latino music plays over the speakers to welcome you up to the window. Depending on the time of day, one should be prepared to wait in a line with other curious and hungry taco-lovers. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuine in their kindness. They thank you for coming and ask how you like the food in a way that makes you feel like they truly value your opinion.  

The menu has four options for food; three main dishes and one dessert. The main dishes consist of the Attack-A-Original, Attack-A-Green, and the Attack-A-Red. Each is unique and can be made into either a burrito or three tacos. The original is slightly smoky and delicious, uses realistic meat substitutes and is not spicy. It has avocado and vegan cheese, however the cheese seems to be more for better than texture than flavor, as it does not impact the taste. The Attack-A-Red is a tad spicier with a more dominant smokiness to it. In contrast to the Original, it lacks avocado and vegan cheese. The Attack-A-Green is the spiciest option on the menu. I would recommend the Attack-A-Original to all. The dessert, Attack-A-Sweet, is simply a sopapilla with sugar and vegan chocolate sauce. They also offer two drinks, traditional horchata and Mexican coffee. The horchata, in my opinion wasn’t sweet enough, however my fellow reviewer loved it. Unlike the popular Chipotle or Qdoba, where you watch the dreary faces of workers who don’t like their job make your food in an assembly line, Attack-A-Taco is full of spirit and the passion of the workers is evidenced by the bursting flavor. 

However, one must be cautious of the price. To order one of everything off the menu, six items, the total is around 50 dollars. Considering the amount of dedication to keep all their ingredients organic and vegan, along with the love you can taste in the food, it is definitely worth it if you can afford to stop by.
