Los Taquitos Mexican Food (LT) is a food truck and food tent in Fort Myers that has been around about four years. They are located on the northeast corner of Palm Beach Blvd. and Marsh Ave. in the parking lot of a gas station.
During the week, they operate out of their food truck. On Saturday and Sunday they extend their food truck and set up a tent, an outdoor cooking area and dining tables. As this is Mexican street food, the model at LT is fast food, and it works very well. There are a number of food trucks and open air griddles serving food in the area. This one appealed to me as it’s covered and also draws a large crowd, the latter being a very good sign.
LT serves primarily tacos, tortas and quesadillas. As such, we ordered a couple of the taco dishes each and split a torta and quesadilla. The tacos come upon request with onion and cilantro, but they also have a condiment station should you need more.
We ordered chicken and chorizo tacos. Tacos at LT are two dollars each. Chorizo is an extremely flavorful sausage. The Spanish version of this sausage is generally sold cured, while the Mexican version found at LT is ground and raw, needing to be cooked before serving. Chorizo has so much chutzpah, it can be used in small quantities as a seasoning agent. For those with “gusto”, it can also be the main focus of a dish. That being said, our chorizo tacos were excellent, especially in the company of salsa roja. The chicken tacos, although good, were our least favorite dish of the evening.
The final thing item we tried was the steak quesadilla. It was, also, excellent. Steak, cheese, cilantro and onions were the filling; highly recommended. Another bargain at four dollars.
They also serve a number of aguas frescas and have a variety of flavors, such as horchata (rice), lemonade, pineapple, mango, melon, tamarind and fruit punch. We tried the tamarind which was delicious. The drink offerings, for a thirty two oz. glass, run from two to three dollars.
