Evidence of a good night. Is it the Mandarin orange slices what qualify a salad to be called "Asian"?

Wurstküche vs. Rambo 2.7.2010

vs.

Wurstküche serves sausage and beer only. Yelpers seem to love this place. It is located in the excruciatingly hip Arts District in DTown and is purported to serve flavor packed sausages and exotic meats. The drafty warehouse space is kept dim, the music almost loud. The furniture was way cool. The tables, chairs, barstools -- even the food trays -- were geometric shapes. The looong beer bar was also a nice touch. I think all of their beers were on tap. They also featured a really neat variety of glass bottled sodas (cucumber soda anyone?). Patrons skewed young and dressed to match the location. Long communal tables were conducive to conversing with strangers. Way chill and comfortable. Nice friendly vibe.



Sergio: Alligator & Pork, Smoked Andouille Sausage
Elsie:Green Chillies & Cilantro Chicken&Turkey
Small Belgian Fries with Pesto Mayo dipping sauce to share
Total: $20

Verdict
Meh. The fries w/sauce (really just the sauce) and room/furniture were the best parts of the meal. Both of our sausages were dry and shrunk down to maybe half the size of the bun. There was definitely some flavor there, but no juiciness. And they got so small! Sergio was still hungry. We were already discussing where to get more food as we got up from our table to leave. Decision? Rambo's Tacos on Eagle Rock was our next stop.



Atmosphere: It's a taco truck. Added bonus: possibly the best taco truck art ever! Sergio got two Tacos al Pastor. Total: $3

Verdict
When we got home and he dug in..."wow!" he exclaimed. No need for the hot sauce on the side -- the well flavored meat is already spicy in a nice way. I didn't have any this round but have had them once before and know they are good. "So much better than those sausages!" he said.

Wurstküche: 0
Rambo: 1

Tacos La Estrella Taco Truck

3 tacos: carnitas, al pastor, carne asada. Red sauce on the side please. And a grapefruit Jarrisco soda in a glass bottle. $5 total.

Location: York / Ave. 54. Permanently parked.
Hours: 24/7.

I had read a lot about this place. Lucky us! We moved into walking distance!

The carnitas was ok. The carne asada pretty good. The al pastor --- wow. smoky, flavorful, tender... yum. I'm getting a burrito next time -- al pastor all the way. And the famous red sauce? OMG. wow. perfection. I wonder if they bottle this stuff?!?



On the way home, we stopped by El Huarache Azteca for a couple of super sized agua frescas. Watermelon for Sergio and Horchata para me.

We also witnessed a crazy surreal site:

Hopefully those firefighters can take down that fire soon!

Next taco truck tasting: El Pique! Just several yards from La Estrella.

BTW: Mia ate again on her own tonight. We are ecstatic!!
