I've tried Quality Burrito and I know people seem to like it and all but I just can't seem to see or taste what everyone else is talking about. For my money its all about the Westside or Lacey Taco Trucks.
Darrow... let me be one of the first to extend an advanced welcome to Oly.

Westside Taco Truck
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 8:15am.Is that the truck that sits in the parking lot of Northwest Snowboards on Harrison?
If it is, I hear really good things about that truck! It's always got a long line of people waiting to order!

The Appeal
Submitted by paisleyboxers on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 8:42am...is that Quality Burrito is Queer friendly and has Vegan options.
They also have a Bacon-Steak-Potato burrito that I can't help but ordering every time i go in. I never finish more than half, and always have more for dinner later.

Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 10:57am.So yeah that is one of the two taco trucks I speak of... They are awesome and worth the rave reviews they get. I love that stuff. Beware addiction may soon follow.
I actually went to a Taco Truck in Chelan a couple weeks ago to compare as I thought for sure Eastern Washington trucks could compete. While it was good it didn't come close to our own taco trucks.
About QB yeah I'm gonna have to give it another whirl says co-workers... And that is the exact burrito I ordered last time. In my opinion it seemed too rich, and lacked a fresh component. No doubt it is some great late night bar food.

Being in Olympia doesn't mean subscribing to some insane and unwritten law of "Showering isn't natural". The earth hippie logic only applies to those applying some amount of hygiene. Not none.
It's okay to bathe. And hey.. washing clothes doesn't hurt.

Besides, knowing when people need to bathe shouldn't burden people who aren't voluntarily acting as social workers.

Raising the Roof
Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 11:49am.So I also heard today that QB was closed so they could "raise the roof" or well it sounded like they removed their false ceiling. Way to go, I really hate that false ceilings and especially love the high ceiling thing.

Raise the roof!
Submitted by agathafrye on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 12:55pm.California Taco Trucks
Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 1:20pm.Yeah the one out in Lacey is the same owners as the Westside truck by Northwest Snowboards. The California Taco Trucks are by far superior to others I have tried although I know great taco trucks are out there it may be that better ones are out of state.
If anyone is ever in Centralia you have to go to La Tarasca. It is truly some awesome traditional Mexican cuisine. Many many many people claim it is the best in Washington State and I'd be hard pressed to argue with that idea. The owners serve up specialties from their home region of Michoacan Mexico.

La Tarasca is really good
Submitted by DC on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 3:26pm.Map to La Tarasca
I appreciate a good taco wagon, and my favorite is also in Centralia/Chehalis.
It's in a very unlikely location, behind the old Yard Birds shopping center. They take their time making all the ingredients fresh on the grill in front of you.
Unlike some places that let everything just simmer down to a paste all day.
Also they have Salvadoran food, so you can get some tasty pupusas if you want to try something different.

Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 3:47pm.Well some of us enjoy getting out of town and going to Seattle from time to time. Personally made a note of that suggestion.
I've seen that place over the years and never went in. I'll have to drop by sometime.
Also in Seattle... Is Agua Verde and it is also very good. I hardly make a lunch time trip to the U-District without passing it up. http://www.aguaverde.com/cafe.htm

Submitted by oldtimeydave on Tue, 09/18/2007 - 7:25am.I remember I grew up in Seattle and I'd say Portland used to take a back seat. Not these days. I'd say progressive Portland has surpassed it's one time rival in a big way.
Besides food... Portland is owning the coffee thing and Stuptown is doing it better than any of the Seattle rivals. Not only that, Stumptown has even moved into Seattle recently.

Boy Onry...
Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 7:16pm.I don't know if you can go wrong there. Everything is good. I might be too late for a reccomendation but... I usually get the burrito. Steak, Chicken, Pork it doesn't matter which. Also the taco plates are very good.
This company is also very cool too. They catered a co-worker of mine's wedding. That was a blast needless to say. A great idea.
