Taco Truck Art: A Coke and a Smile

It's refreshing and snazzy...

Only taco truck gourmands are aware of an otherwise little-known phenomenon: taco truck art. In a new series, Robb shares his favorite objects d' (taco) art.

This coke bottle was painted on a pop-out panel under the driver's side window on El Ultimo taco truck which parks in front of the carwash at Long Point and Antoine.

Using a mechanical element of the truck's body in the painting is one of my favorite taco truck art witticisms. The rivets around the bottle kind of remind me of an array of water droplets. -- Robb Walsh
