I’ve lived in Tucson and San Diego, crossed the border many times and ate the best these two towns had to offer in Mexican food. and I say, “Forget the rest, here’s the Best”. Forget fancy ambiance, come here or take out for the most authentic Mexican in the Triangle. 95% of the customers are Latino, and many are there as a treat “con su familias.” Don’t know if it rates as cuisine but, “de las camiones, el mejor. Verdad!”
Try the Posole (pork and mild chili-based brothe soup on weekends only) for a sample of what I’m talking about.

Their vegetarian and meat burritos are stellar. And their fresh condiment bar frequently changes a little during the summer.

[...] large and satisfying, but the chorizo lacked the crispiness and punch of what’s on offer at Los Comalles, La Vaquita, or the taco [...]

I live in the nearby area and, best I can tell, the taco truck you’re referring to is only out on the weekends. As someone mentioned earlier, it continues to park at the “T” of Dixon and University Drive, directly in front of the old Red & White store.

If you’re looking for a weekday taco truck in this vicinity, there’s one that is open all the time in the parking lot of the nearby shopping plaza at 3205 University Drive. The truck isn’t easy to see from the road unless you’re really looking for it because it sits in the back part of the parking lot where Tienda La Esperanza is located. Its the same plaza that is home to Ray’s Billiards and Domino’s Pizza.

BEWARE! This area is densely populated with taco tasting options all within about a one mile radius. BEHOLD!

*Two taco trucks (one during weekdays);
*Tacostumbras (gas station tacos);
*Taqueria La Vaquita (Mecca) and;
*Taqueria y Pupuseria Las Delicias (new on the scene).

After all this talk of tacos, what should I have for lunch?

Is the truck there during the day on weekdays?

Hey — have you tried the birria de borrego tacos at the truck that parks at the T of Dixon and University (where the old Red and White butcher shop used to be) on weekend night? I actually remembered to search your site before adding this comment. I searched on “birria” and found this solo blog so I’m thinking you haven’t been yet. Or at least that you haven’t had the birria de borrego tacos.

I’m told that during weekend days, the truck is down a couple hundred yards toward Target. I don’t know about weekdays.

i tried the quesadilla on a recommendation from a friend, and wasn’t as impressed with it.

i’ve always enjoyed their tacos, though.

I’ve been meaning to give their burritos a try, but I’m stuck in a pupusa rut…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

TLH – I’ve done that too! The chicken burrito is gigantic & has a most delicious sour cream/cheese combo inside. I believe it’s only $6 and it’s at least a foot long. Yum.
