Taqueria Tacambaro behind the Farmers Market on Airline.

Houston artist and French-born gourmet Bernard Brunon was so impressed by the tripe and sweetbreads at Taqueria Tacambaro, the taco truck behind Caninos Produce on Airline, that he went back a few days later. He called me in horror from the parking lot:

The taco truck had disappeared!

I told him that taco trucks routinely return to home base to get cleaned and restocked. But I was a little nervous since those tripe and sweetbreads tacos are the subject of this week's review.

Bernard Brunon is one happy Frenchman when he gets his tripe tacos.

So I stopped by earlier this week just to make sure that the Taqueria Tacambaro truck (it's actually a trailer once the pickup truck leaves) had reappeared. It had.

And now we can all slurp down those lovely tripe tacos again. -- Robb Walsh

By "sweetbread" you mean "cesos" right, aka BRAINS!

Please ignore the undead milling about this Taco Truck...

No sweetbread are mollejas, and brains are sesos. And if you don't like them, you can find lots of veggie-weggies a few yards away at the Farmer's Market.
