On a recent Sunday afternoon, I finally made a plan to check out his pop up, Smelly’s Creole and Soul Food, inside Au Lounge Oakland in Uptown. The photocopied menu you get at the door includes all kinds of delicious-sounding combos of crab, shrimp, beef and oysters. But my family of three was all about the crab. We ordered a whole dungeness à la carte drenched in chopped garlic blooming in butter, along with a side of the Creole-spiced fries—also dipped in melted garlic butter. We got our order to go, and the crab did not disappoint. Only, once home, I regretted we didn’t get the trademark garlic noodles that come with most of Smelly’s combos. (Truth be told, I was trying to save a few bucks too.) I quickly assembled a pot of noodles at home and dumped them in the left-over butter, garlic and crab scraps.

Adachi Hiroyuki launched dinner service at the lunch-only restaurant with \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/aburayaoakland/?hl=en\">Aburaya\u003c/a>, a punk rock-influenced Japanese fried chicken spot with a cult following. With Hiroyuki splitting the rent with them, the Sok-Wolfsons were able to keep afloat as new business owners. “I knew in my heart that it’d become increasingly difficult to run a business in downtown Oakland,” Terry says. “[The pop-up] is what ultimately gave us an opportunity to succeed and grow as much as we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Aburaya spun out to their own location, with the Sok-Wolfsons staying on as business partners, Garden House’s building sold in 2017. The couple renovated the restaurant and negotiated a new lease with pop-ups in mind. “Aburaya has turned into something that none of us could’ve imagined,” Terry explains. “If we’re able to give someone else an opportunity to grow as much as Aburaya has, someone that is a part of the community, doing things for the community, then that’s definitely something we want to [do].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B6DTBmmBmFk/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This October, Sofi Espice’s colorful vegan pop-up, Gay 4 U, moved into Garden House for dinner and brunch service after losing their semi-permanent spot at Classic Cars West. Now that they’re on more solid financial footing at Garden House, the Sok-Wolfsons are offering Espice a more flexible lease option, including marginally increasing rent that can take the pressure off of the pop-up in the first few months. “I think it’s impossible to run a pop-up without a venue that supports you. And it’s also almost impossible to just run a simple small family restaurant,” Terry says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very committed to Oakland in as many ways as I can be.

Her job with the Mexican consulate kept her busy, but she finally decided to debut La Vegana last year at a Dia de los Muertos event. The family sold tamales so fast that they couldn't thaw them out quick enough. But customers didn't seem to care – drawn perhaps by the novelty at first, they stayed around for the flavor, Ruiz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was amazed at how many people wanted to try our tamales,\" Ruiz said. \"One guy came back seven times through the night, because he wanted to try them all!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz's daughter, Loreta Sierra, isn't surprised that Latinos of her generation seem more open to going vegan.

She and her children do stage pop-up food tents at community festivals, but their focus is on trying to break into restaurants and supermarkets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz grew up in Mexico City with a father who was vegan \"before it was a thing.\" But she didn't give veganism a try until her daughter, Loreta, was 8. \"Even at that age,\" Ruiz said, \"she was questioning about why we needed to drink milk, or why we needed to kill animals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family tried to go vegan to support the young Loreta but found that a lot of the vegan food at the time was processed \"and didn't even taste good.\" So Ruiz experimented in her kitchen until friends suggested she sell food to the public. Her job with the Mexican consulate kept her busy, but she finally decided to debut La Vegana last year at a Dia de los Muertos event. The family sold tamales so fast that they couldn't thaw them out quick enough. But customers didn't seem to care – drawn perhaps by the novelty at first, they stayed around for the flavor, Ruiz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was amazed at how many people wanted to try our tamales,\" Ruiz said. \"One guy came back seven times through the night, because he wanted to try them all!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz's daughter, Loreta Sierra, isn't surprised that Latinos of her generation seem more open to going vegan. (A young Salvadoran chef in Los Angeles \u003ca href=\"http://www.lataco.com/meet-the-l-a-chef-who-has-veganized-40-dishes-from-el-salvador-and-is-going-for-more/\">veganized over 40 of her country's meals\u003c/a>). \"Our generation overall is more concerned about environmentalism and environmental racism — the future of our planet,\" says the 22-year-old, who is currently an undergraduate at the University of California, Los Angeles. \"If we want to have a habitable planet, we need to start being more proactive in what we consume.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her brother, Luis Sierra, still encounters heavy skepticism from other Mexican-Americans about his Vegan-Mex lifestyle, but he takes it in stride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Guys on my crew, they make fun of me all the time,\" says the 19-year-old, who volunteers for the Los Angeles Fire Department. \"'Oh, yeah, that's why you're so skinny!' But then I give them one of my mom's tamales, and they change their mind right away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Gustavo Arellano is the author of \u003c/em>Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America\u003cem>, and a longtime guest on NPR's \"Barbershop\" segment on \u003c/em>Weekend All Things Considered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/129463/carne-asada-hold-the-meat-why-latinos-are-embracing-vegan-mexican-cuisine","authors":["byline_bayareabites_129463"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_2090","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_358","bayareabites_60","bayareabites_1873"],"tags":["bayareabites_758","bayareabites_767","bayareabites_1871"],"featImg":"bayareabites_129464","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_128873":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_128873","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"128873","score":null,"sort":[1528731502000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"table-talk-its-time-for-rose-and-tacos-and-cake-and-amatriciana-pizza","title":"Table Talk: It’s Time for Rosé and Tacos and Cake and Amatriciana Pizza","publishDate":1528731502,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED’s Table Talk | Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"term":16115,"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>This week’s highlights should feel a bit summery with news about the Tacolicious guest chef taco lineup and a rosé tasting, plus there’s the Refugee Food Festival, an all-cake dessert menu at Bluestem Brasserie, and where to find amatriciana pizza in SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128882\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new.jpg\" alt=\"Sujan Sarkar of ROOH served a pulled jackfruit masala taco, with pineapple kut, smoked avocado, bikaneri boondi, and baby radish for his Tacolicious guest chef taco.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128882\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sujan Sarkar of ROOH served a pulled jackfruit masala taco, with pineapple kut, smoked avocado, bikaneri boondi, and baby radish for his Tacolicious guest chef taco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Tacolicious)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The Tacolicious Guest Chef Taco Series Returns\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/934MaFs9bko\">Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market, San Francisco\u003c/a> (stand outside)\u003cbr>\nJune 14–August 9, Thursdays 10am–2pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Summertime means the \u003cstrong>Tacolicious summer guest chef taco series\u003c/strong> returns to their Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market stand.

You can find some good renditions here in SF, but did you know you can also find an \u003cstrong>amatriciana pizza\u003c/strong>? For this amatriciana \u003cem>and\u003c/em> pizza fanatic, it’s a special kind of mash-up heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, I’ve been enjoying the amatriciana pizza by Sharon Ardiana at \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ragazzasf.com/\">Ragazza\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (311 Divisadero St.), made with tomato, Olli pancetta, Calabrian chilies, pecorino, oregano, and an organic egg ($18). While some folks could cry foul over the pancetta instead of guanciale, just remember, we’re talking about a pizza here. The egg also takes things in another direction, but it’s to the utterly delicious zone, so that’s great. You can also find the amatriciana pie at her pizzeria \u003ca href=\"https://www.gialina.com/\">Gialina\u003c/a> (2842 Diamond St.) in Glen Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to play the “authentic” amatriciana pizza game, which is kind of ridiculous, but okay, the version at \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://pizzeriadelfina.com/\">Pizzeria Delfina\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (multiple locations) is true to the original pasta dish, made with guanciale, chile, tomato, pecorino, and black pepper (which, actually, some people would argue about!). It’s $19, and the deep saucy flavor is like enjoying a bowl of the pasta, but on their tasty crust. Magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leave it to the Roman owner of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.montesacrosf.com/\">Montesacro Pinseria\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (510 Stevenson St.) in SoMa, Gianluca Legrottaglie, to offer an amatriciana version on their ancient Roman-style pinsa. Certo!

Tony Gemignani’s version comes on his California-style crust, and it’s a really saucy pie, almost close to a plate of pasta. His version ($23) comes with sliced Aiello mozzarella, amatriciana tomato sauce with guanciale, onion, olive oil, and grated romano. I recommend a drizzle of his spicy oil on the table to kick things up.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Get excited for guest chef tacos, a rosé tasting, an all-cake dessert menu, amatriciana pizza, and more.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1528900992,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":20,"wordCount":1346},"headData":{"title":"Table Talk: It’s Time for Rosé and Tacos and Cake and Amatriciana Pizza | KQED","description":"Get excited for guest chef tacos, a rosé tasting, an all-cake dessert menu, amatriciana pizza, and more.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Table Talk: It’s Time for Rosé and Tacos and Cake and Amatriciana Pizza","datePublished":"2018-06-11T15:38:22.000Z","dateModified":"2018-06-13T14:43:12.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"128873 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=128873","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/06/11/table-talk-its-time-for-rose-and-tacos-and-cake-and-amatriciana-pizza/","disqusTitle":"Table Talk: It’s Time for Rosé and Tacos and Cake and Amatriciana Pizza","path":"/bayareabites/128873/table-talk-its-time-for-rose-and-tacos-and-cake-and-amatriciana-pizza","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>This week’s highlights should feel a bit summery with news about the Tacolicious guest chef taco lineup and a rosé tasting, plus there’s the Refugee Food Festival, an all-cake dessert menu at Bluestem Brasserie, and where to find amatriciana pizza in SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128882\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new.jpg\" alt=\"Sujan Sarkar of ROOH served a pulled jackfruit masala taco, with pineapple kut, smoked avocado, bikaneri boondi, and baby radish for his Tacolicious guest chef taco.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128882\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/tacolicious-rooh-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sujan Sarkar of ROOH served a pulled jackfruit masala taco, with pineapple kut, smoked avocado, bikaneri boondi, and baby radish for his Tacolicious guest chef taco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Tacolicious)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The Tacolicious Guest Chef Taco Series Returns\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/934MaFs9bko\">Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market, San Francisco\u003c/a> (stand outside)\u003cbr>\nJune 14–August 9, Thursdays 10am–2pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Summertime means the \u003cstrong>Tacolicious summer guest chef taco series\u003c/strong> returns to their Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market stand.

If you’ve never enjoyed how tender beef tongue meat can be, this is your spot to do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118892\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense.jpg\" alt=\"Outside Taqueria El Grullense in Redwood City.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118892\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Grullense-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Outside Taqueria El Grullense in Redwood City. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.elgrullensegrill.com/\">\u003cstrong>Taqueria El Grullense\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1280 El Camino Real [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ThkD1x\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nRedwood City, CA 94063\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 368-3737\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 6-12:15am\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Taqueria-El-Grullense/106060099459815\">Taqueria El Grullense\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYelp: \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/taqueria-el-grullense-redwood-city\">Taqueria El Grullense\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tacomania\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118899\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of tacos at Tacomania.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118899\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Tacos-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plate of tacos at Tacomania. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>True to its name, this local chain of Mexican restaurants is all about the tacos.

While a tad more expensive than usual taqueria prices, the tacos here are worth the upsell as they come piled with meat and topped with chopped onions, cilantro and a sweet and spicy salsa verde. The restaurant serves the standard meat selection of carne asada (beef steak), al pastor (grilled pork), pollo (chicken) and carnitas (braised pork), but also offers a very tasty grilled shrimp taco and fish of the day special. For those wanting to kick up the heat, Speedy’s offers a deliciously hot orange sauce perfect for drizzling over the sweet shrimp tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Speedy’s Tacos in Sunnyvale.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118895\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Speedys-Inside-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Speedy’s Tacos in Sunnyvale. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.speedystacos.com/\">\u003cstrong>Speedy’s Tacos\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n929 E Duane Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/evmazG\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSunnyvale, CA 94085\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 685-2791\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 11am-9pm; Sun 2-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SpeedysTacosSunnyvale/\">Speedy’s Tacos\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYelp: \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/speedys-tacos-sunnyvale\">Speedy's Tacos\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ruby’s Taqueria\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118893\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of vampiro tacos at Ruby’s Taqueria in Sunnyvale.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118893\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Rubys-Tacos-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plate of vampiro tacos at Ruby’s Taqueria in Sunnyvale. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This family-run taqueria is a neighborhood favorite for inexpensive authentic Mexican dishes.

The juicy and tender brisket is also not to be missed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118900\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck.jpg\" alt=\"The Tacomania truck in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118900\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/Tacomania-Truck-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Tacomania truck in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://tacomaniainc.com/\">\u003cstrong>Tacomania\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n670 Coleman Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/a65Cns\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95110\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 703-6805\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 11am-11pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pg/tacomaniainc/reviews/\">Tacomania Inc\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/tacomaniainc\">@TacomaniaInc\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYelp: \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacomania-san-jose-6\">Tacomania\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tacos El Compa Taqueria\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118890\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos.jpg\" alt=\"Al pastor, carne asada and carnitas tacos at Tacos El Compa Taqueria.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118890\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/El-Compa-Tacos-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al pastor, carne asada and carnitas tacos at Tacos El Compa Taqueria. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This unassuming taqueria located in the suburbs of South San Jose serves excellent tacos with handmade tortillas.

going to lie, this is a labor of love. Love of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_pastor\">al pastor\u003c/a>, and love of pork (and let’s just get to this up front: I’m in no way saying this is the authentic Mexican way of making al pastor, but it’s a pretty darn good rendition). But back to my point. You’ll need to plan ahead, the marinade takes some time, but it makes a double batch that you can freeze so the next time you make it, it won’t take you so long. But I think it’s worth it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with al pastor tacos the first time I visited \u003ca href=\"http://www.sayulita.com/\">Sayulita\u003c/a>, a little surfer beach town north of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast of Mexico. There, a popular street stand called \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-el-ivan-sayulita\">Tacos El Ivan\u003c/a> draws locals, ex-pats, and tourists who line up for the succulent fire-roasted, marinated meat on a spit topped with fiery homemade salsa and fresh pineapple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t recreate that memorable moment on a dusty street in Mexico, balancing many tacos on a plastic plate with a cold but sweaty Tecate, but I can try to come close! Get started the night before, readying the meat, and the tacos will come together in a snap the day you make them. Serve these on small, warm corn tortillas or tuck the meat and pineapple mixture into iceberg lettuce cups for a carb-free “taco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118320\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Al Pastor Marinade\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>6 ancho chiles (2 1/2 to 3 ounces), wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/4 cups chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup white vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 yellow onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cloves garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp achiote paste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground cumin\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp Mexican oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup orange juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 chipotle chile in adobo, plus 1 tbsp adobo sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 lbs boneless pork butt roast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 slices fresh pineapple, core removed, or 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 small red onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Corn tortillas, warmed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg\" alt=\"Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>You’ll need to marinate the pork overnight, so plan ahead!

Love of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_pastor\">al pastor\u003c/a>, and love of pork (and let’s just get to this up front: I’m in no way saying this is the authentic Mexican way of making al pastor, but it’s a pretty darn good rendition). But back to my point. You’ll need to plan ahead, the marinade takes some time, but it makes a double batch that you can freeze so the next time you make it, it won’t take you so long. But I think it’s worth it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with al pastor tacos the first time I visited \u003ca href=\"http://www.sayulita.com/\">Sayulita\u003c/a>, a little surfer beach town north of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast of Mexico. There, a popular street stand called \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-el-ivan-sayulita\">Tacos El Ivan\u003c/a> draws locals, ex-pats, and tourists who line up for the succulent fire-roasted, marinated meat on a spit topped with fiery homemade salsa and fresh pineapple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t recreate that memorable moment on a dusty street in Mexico, balancing many tacos on a plastic plate with a cold but sweaty Tecate, but I can try to come close! Get started the night before, readying the meat, and the tacos will come together in a snap the day you make them. Serve these on small, warm corn tortillas or tuck the meat and pineapple mixture into iceberg lettuce cups for a carb-free “taco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118320\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Al Pastor Marinade\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>6 ancho chiles (2 1/2 to 3 ounces), wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/4 cups chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup white vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 yellow onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cloves garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp achiote paste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground cumin\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp Mexican oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup orange juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 chipotle chile in adobo, plus 1 tbsp adobo sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 lbs boneless pork butt roast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 slices fresh pineapple, core removed, or 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 small red onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Corn tortillas, warmed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg\" alt=\"Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>You’ll need to marinate the pork overnight, so plan ahead!
