I've seen plenty of food trucks but it was in the South West. So your mileage may vary.
There are a number of Dinè(Navajo) food carts and trucks, but mostly people selling food out of their trunks in parking lots, or on Facebook market place here in NM. And Mexican/New Mexican/TexMex/CA Mex are all different versions of Native American foods. Tamales are a native food.
Mmm Tamales.
But yeah I'm not restricting my definition of restaurant to a building. That cuts off entire categories of awesome food.
Sorry, was not trying to imply you were limiting to a restaurant. More I was trying to further illustrate your point.
Man we need better tone marks for text language. I wasn't mad at you, just making conversation.
As for tamales, they are one of my favorites. But since becoming a vegetarian they are much harder to find ones I can eat. Sometimes Costco has green chile Monterey Jack tamales. Which are okay, but nothing like the ones from the trunk of a barely running car outside the dollar store.
I wonder how red chile jack fruit tamales would be.
Lmao that's the truth, I'm pretty sure those trunks add taste.
I left nm shortly after high school and eventually ended up living in Maryland. The majority of our Mexican places in Maryland were Salvadoran, which was fine but not New Mexican food and tamales were scarce. I made them once and solo they were so labor intensive. I floated the idea to the social club where we hung out and got a decent sized group to help make them. We ended up making tamales about once a quarter. They were some of the best I have ever had.
