I first saw a tweet...

With all the attention being paid to the new Korean taco trucks this year (Korilla, Big D's & Kimchi Taco), I decided to go back to El Rey Del Sabor for some good old-fashioned Mexican tacos.  El Rey Del Sabor was a 2010 Vendy Award Finalist, and they have 3 carts in midtown - 43rd & 6th, 49th &...
