Itzayana Fluffy Tacos

For Orlando's Taco Week, this was the only place that really jumped out at me as wanting to try. And I'm glad I convinced Mrs. S to venture out on a Work Night to the Pour Choice Taphouse where they were dishing out some tasty tacos and trivia. The only trivia question I was interest in was "How do I get these tacos in my belly?"I haven't personally had one of these puffy tacos before, and the Taco Week Special for the Quesabirria Taco was an amazing deal, and these tacos were different in a such a good way.If I had to describe the shell, it's kind of a cross between a croissant and a Taco Bell chalupa. The seem like they're fried to order as the shell was hot and crispy. All were a little smaller than I though they would be and the $5 price tag per taco seems a little high. It would cost me a fortune to fill up on these things, but I would love to try. Here's the rundown of what we tried:-Birria - Excellent with the cheese and meat and juice to dip it in. (5 Stars)-Al Pastor - Usually a hit, but not that great, kinda tough (3 Stars)-Carne Asada - Good but a little dry (4 Stars)We also had the Carne Asada Fries (5 Stars) and wow, those were good and filling. The other toppings and portion size made these fries a bargain when compared to the tacos.I'd go visit them again if I can find them. They can do better with addresses or something on their "Web Site" (Instagram). I am not on Instagram so had to have the Mrs. send me a screenshot of their locations since Instagram wouldn't let me view the page unless I joined. 2 Stars for trying to track them down. Finding a food truck is annoying AF already, but only having locations on instagram makes it hard for those of us not on Instagram.

What better time to try a new taco truck than during Orlando Taco Week!! While perusing the many restaurants and trucks participating in Orlando Taco Week, Itzayana rose to the top of our list because of their "fluffy" tacos. Say whaaa? I've never heard of a fluffy taco before, but their special is 2 Quesa Birria tacos for $4.95 so... duh! We had to find them!Being a food truck you never know what kind of luck you'll have with a schedule that is convenient, but Lady Luck was on our side this week because they posted their schedule on their Instagram and it turned out they'd be at the Pour Choice Taphouse on Mills for their Trivia Night on Monday. We got there a bit early (recommended) to try and dodge the trivia crowd. Not hating on the trivia folks, but we were here for one thing, and one thing only. TACOS. By the time we were finishing our food the trivia crowd was filling in fast and we were glad we arrived before them because the line was getting pretty long. We loaded up on tacos and the carne asada fries were calling my name so we had a ton of food. The absolute best were the quesa birria tacos. OMG. I wish we'd gotten two orders because they were so delicious. And perfect for the fluffy tacos. I should have asked exactly how they made them, but they were essentially a light and puffed taco shell that still managed to be crispy. Not dense like a gordita shell, just wonderful. They didn't bust open like an overstuffed corn tortilla, and they were just the perfect vessel for the tasty goodness and consommé. We also tried the Pastor and Joe got a carne asada as well. The pastor has good flavor but was a tad bit dry. The carne asada fries were so good too. For $10, the fries are the best deal on the menu because you get so much food for the money. Compared to $5 for a single taco they're a great value and make for a good filler if you don't want to spend a fortune on tacos to fill you up. I highly recommend checking their socials to check their locations. Seek them out and show them some love! @ItzayanaTacos
