The Ben & Jerry’s truck was in town last week spreading much-needed ice creamy goodness during our record-breaking heat wave. And while they were here, the sweet treats crew taste-tested the food that makes mouths water here in America’s Finest City–tacos. They selected their four favorites Monday, just in time for celebrating Cinco de Mayo the right way.
The highlights here, or read about their finds here:
Ben & Jerry’s calls the authentic Mexican seafood tacos served up at this food truck “too bold to miss.” At about two bucks a taco, they’re wallet friendly, too. They visited the truck while it was stopped in University City.
