Tillary Loading Dock Tacos Closing After Blizzard Bandit Steals Truck [Brooklyn]

Photo by Cheryl Tan (Click above for her review)

Sad news that the taco joint on Tillary Street, Loading Dock, is closing after their new $25,000 taco truck was stolen. Seems that the taco place was already in financial uncertainty and this recent event sent them over the edge. Luckily, insurance should help with the stolen truck but for now they’re closing up shop on Tillary street. Even though I’ve had their great tacos, I never got to formally review them. Cheryl Tan has an in-depth write up here.

The loading dock location will close Jan 30. Their tacos will still be available at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene.

Black & Cream Temporary Taqueria at East River Bar Patio [Brooklyn]

DSC_7376

I was excited for this event since I missed every other taco-related event this summer. We bought two $8 tickets in advance – not sure why because no one checked any tickets. We’ve been to a lot of food events this summer so maybe we were expecting too much. This wasn’t so much an event as it was just a temporary taco truck selling over-marketed food. The result: waiting 1 hr for two bean tacos, some arugula and a picked pepper. The tacos were OK, but the 1 hr wait was not – a poorly managed event left a bitter taste in our mouth. The beans needed some salt but the taco overall showed some thought was put into it. I did enjoy the carbonated iced coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee. To full the void in our stomachs, we finished the night with a burrito and taco from Little Mexico at The Woods (which were pretty good).

One last East River Bar rant: Why is the Poor Man’s Pina Colada $9?

Little Mexico is the food cart in the back of The Woods (48 S 4th St, Brooklyn) Steak taco above – $3 – awesome! Chicken burrito below – $6 – weird but still pretty tasty (Grilled tortilla, grilled rice, chicken, cheese, no beans)

Second Try for Fast and Fresh on Hoyt St. [Brooklyn]

fnf_2

Gave FnF a second try today. (A second taco try, that is. I’ve eaten quite a few of their burritos). I ordered 1 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 vegetable taco. However, I just received 3 vegetable tacos instead and by vegetable I mean, rice-and-bean tacos. That said, they were good and didn’t make me feel dirty like the other tacos did. I hope next time to eat some meat. The mango shake was pretty good.

Oaxaca Taqueria Coming to 4th Ave [Brooklyn]

Brownstoner reports a new taco place coming to 4th ave. Of course, after I move from 4th ave! People are speculating if it’s the same Oaxaca from Smith St. I hope not because I’m about equidistant to Smith St so I’d like a new place to try!

Ethan Hawke, Tacos, Murders [Brooklyn]

Ethan Hawke was eating tacos in Brooklyn and some shit went down! Eating tacos can be a dangerous sport. Unfortunately, no one mentions where he was eating or if it was good!

After spying this photo, looks like they were filming in Brownsville, which is pretty serious!

Loading Dock Taco Cart on Tillary St [Brooklyn]

tillary

I’ve noticed this weird loading dock creation while driving by on Tillary St. I just thought someone had put some Christmas lights on their loading dock – because it’s no place for a food cart! But The Brooklyn Paper informs me that this is god damn taco cart! Now, only if it weren’t impossible to get to on foot. I used to live on Tillary and Gold St. Literally dodging bullets on the way to the bodega back then, I hope I grab a taco, un-grazed!

The Loading Dock
170 Tillary St. between Flatbush Avenue and Gold Street
Tuesday-Sunday, 11 am-3 pm
Wednesday-Saturday, 6-10 pm.
Cash only.

La Superior on Berry St. [Brooklyn]

Go to La Superior at 295 Berry St. Just stop reading this and go. Oh, and get the beef tongue taco – it’s not chewy, it’s like pork belly – but beefy. Just get it and shut up.
