ALL IN THE FAMILY. The truck is named Gladys, for owner Steve Dunn’s ex-mother in law. “No connection to taco making,” Dunn says, but she was “a nice lady.” The truck’s jump seat is named for Dunn’s brother Jeff, who helped get the truck from Washington, D.C. three years ago.

TACOS AND TRIVIA. The truck can often be found at Little Thistle’s Wednesday Trivia Night or at festivals around the region (the truck’s schedule is on the website). The truck is also available to cater private events, such as weddings and grad parties between April and November.

LEBOWSKI STYLE? Given the truck’s smaller kitchen, expect to find four tacos instead of the restaurant’s usual 10. The truck typically carries the #1 Picadillo, featuring ground beef, potato, onion, and cilantro in a flour tortilla with melted mozzarella. Ask for it “Lebowski style” (drizzled with queso) or “Walter style” (queso and crema). Another truck regular is the #6 “Flower Child,” their most popular vegetarian option, with cauliflower, pickled red onion, spicy aioli, feta cheese, and cilantro.
