April 4, 2018, my life changed. I walked into Taco Pancho, met some friendly people, and ate some delicious yet quickly prepared food! My sister, Melissa, brought me here. She heard about it somehow and wanted us to try it together for the first time. I was so impressed that I brought my husband, Moises, back the same day! He completely agreed with my opinion, and we will now be regulars there! (Link: http://www.tacopanchorestaurants.com/menu.html)

The first thing I noticed was the prices. They are great! They have tons of deal and specials, so don't miss out! My sister got a burrito, a side of rice, chips and salsa, and a drink for about $8. Since I had breakfast not long before we came, I just got a tostada and a drink for just over $3!!

We got our food very quickly and wow! As soon as we saw it we knew it was authentic and it was going to be good! It was too! The rice was perfect, the chips were homemade, and the salsa was on point! My tostada was amazing, and I can't wait to get it again in the future. Melissa was pleased with her burrito, but I did not personally try it at the time.

I was so excited after we left. I had Moises call me so I could tell him all about it, and he agreed we should go there for dinner that night. Woo! I was happy. Since burritos were the special, we both got them. Moises loved his! I did like mine, but I'm not a big fan of beef. Next time I will get chicken, and I know I will love it. We "shared" a side of rice, meaning I ate most of it lol. Moises did say is tasted just like his mom's rice though! We also went a different route with the chips. Moises, though he is Hispanic, does not like spicy food. The yummy salsa I had before was great, but very spicy. I suggested asking about the guacamole to see if it was more Moises' style. It was!!! It wasn't spicy, but it was AMAZING! It was so fresh tasting and we got a HUGE portion! We couldn't even finish it.

We were completely impressed with this place, and we were a little sad we didn't know about it before! Taco Pancho is open for breakfast, and they have breakfast tacos on their menu. I can not wait to try them! We love breakfast tacos! As mentioned before, Moises and I will probably be going there often now, and we are looking forward to bringing some friends!

 

Working with Food Trucks!

I know I have been MIA, but I'm back! I had the AWESOME opportunity to work for Fort Myers Pro Rodeo! It was hard work and a ton of fun at the same time. I had the blessing to work with the vendors, and WOW! I was surprised! I was able to meet some of the nicest people and try some AMAZING food!

I wasn't able to try all the food or get to know everyone as much as I did with Knuckleheads and JP's Hot Fish. It was their first times vending at the rodeo, and everyone loved them!

Knuckleheads (Link: https://www.facebook.com/morrknuckleheads/) makes Philly cheese steaks, tater tots, po boys, and more! Moises and I fell in love with their Phillies. I kept ordering mine with green peppers and cheese (like a weirdo), and it was sooo good. I still think about it every so often! Moises would get his with everything. When friends and family showed up to the rodeo, I would send them their way, and they were impressed as well. The staff is amazing too! They were very thankful, friendly, and positive, and they were a pleasure to work with!

JP's Hot Fish was another great experience! I do not like fried fish, I repeat, I do not like fried fish, but I loved theirs! Moises and I got some both nights, and it was delicious! It had great flavor, and it was cooked to order. It was so nice and warm (hot) on the cool/cold nights as well. A few of our friends got some as well, and they were very pleased! Jesse, the cook/guy in charge, was so nice! His wife was a well. I look forward to showing up at their food truck sometime soon! (Link:https://www.facebook.com/JPs-Hot-Fish-1490791864298476/)

Both of these food trucks are from SWFL. If you see them, give them a try! You will not be disappointed! It's a great thing to support small businesses, especially local ones. Check out their Facebook pages to see where they will be located next. I know I will be! You might even run into me and Moises!
