Taquicardia
House-made blue corn tortillas, and cochinita pibil the Infatuation calls some of the best in town.1
Why go
Nicolai McCrary's instruction is about the tortilla rather than the filling: flour is an option and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not ordering the house-made blue corn. Beyond that, the trailer does tacos, quesadillas, burritos, gorditas and just about anything else that fits inside a tortilla, and makes some of the best cochinita pibil he has had in Austin.1 The business has grown from one truck to several pitches, each with its own menu, and currently runs a birria pizza as a special.2

What locals & experts say
- The Infatuation Austin, Nicolai McCrary, 11 July 2022:
They also make some of the best cochinita pibil we've had in town.
1 - There is no score behind that by rule, not by verdict. The same page states the outlet only rates places where you can eat a full meal.
Good to know
- The name: the business trades as La Taquicardia. Jeff's row drops the article.
- Where it parks: the reviewed pitch is Southern Heights Brewing at 6014 Techni Center Dr, near MLK and 183. Its own site also lists Lulu's, with different hours at each, so check before driving.2
- Hygiene: there is no public inspection score for this trailer. Austin Public Health's published register covers fixed addresses, and mobile vendors fall under a separate programme whose scores are not published as open data. The pitch addresses carry the host brewery's and the host taproom's permits, which are different businesses and say nothing about this kitchen.3
Verdict
could-visit — A family taco trailer that makes its own blue corn tortillas, which is what the Infatuation's Nicolai McCrary tells you to order, and turns out cochinita pibil he calls some of the best in town. It parks at breweries rather than at an address, currently Southern Heights and Lulu's by its own account. It sits mid-ladder because the assessment is from 2022, the outlet does not rate trailers by policy, and where it will be on any given night takes checking.
