Menu breakdown: Likes, must haves, etc…
Mains:
Real simple menu as the name says “ta-ko”(taco-Sher)
Tacos:
The Original Brisketaco™
A long-loved family recipe, braised and slow-cooked with chili sauce, sauerkraut, raisins, a touch of sweet, and a little spicy kick at the end.
Carne La Beef
Marinated and grilled in a rich blend of hearty sauces and secret spices, the recipe creates a smoky, juicy and flavorful beef, all brought harmoniously together on a hot corn tortilla.
The Original Latketaco™
A combination of three types of potato, cilantro, onions and roasted chipotle chiles; battered, breaded, deep fried and topped with a sweet and spicy apple jalapeño chutney.
Fujitas™
Baked tofu marinated in mesquite and garlic; sautéed “fajita style” with grilled peppers, onions and a squeeze of lime.
The Chosen Chicken
Infused with tangy citrus, spicy smoked chipotle and tropical juices; topped with a deep, rich tomato chile salsa delicately blended with roasted pumpkin seeds.
Burritos:
Currently in the works. We had a tease(I mean a taste) of the Carne La Beef and like us, the streets will agree that these are the meanest and cleanest burritos out there!
Sides/Extras:
Coming soon: Order the off the menu, Jicima slaw in the mean time.
Most importantly:the only food truck that packs a cooler full of ice cold Dr. Browns soda(in my case I sipped on classic black cherry.

Takosher just did back stage with Reggae/Hip Hop artist Matisyahu in LA and even Matisyahu “Cho(M)ped ‘em down”
Strangest question asked:
A Hassid came up the truck and asked what is a taco? So they explained and then he asked what is a tortilla? So they also explained…, In the end, he ended up with a taco combo plate “togo” and a business card so he could have the truck at his office!
Special Thanks:
Go out to the Art institute, and the Activision business park on 31st. and Ocean Park in Santa Monica for allowing the food trucks to post up for a late afternoon lunch session. The crew from TAKOSHER™ was on point with their hospitality and I must say their Kosher play on latin street food was unparalleled. LA Street Taco vendors watch out, The Kosher Taco has taken over!!!! Mazel-TOV!!!!
