What kind of taco did you get? I used to worry about the carts too but honestly, the long line of locals is what convinced me it was safe. If they're busy, the food's fresh.
Totally! That cart taco was insane, best thing I ate in days. I grabbed one from a busy stand near the park, and the line was huge. All the locals were there, which made me feel good about it. The tortilla was fresh off the grill, and the flavors were just perfect. I've been telling everyone about it since. You can't beat a good taco from a cart.
