I’ve been
hearing for a few weeks about Bambi Vegan Tacos from friends who frequent the Oak Park Farmers Market. A food truck devoted exclusively to serving vegan tacos – can you
imagine?! Today, I finally had a chance to check it out myself.
The menu
listed three different types of tacos, as well as a taquito plate. After taking
forever to make up my mind, I finally settled on the barbacoa taquito plate,
since it came with guacamole. I had overheard the woman taking the orders telling
another customer that the “meat” in the taquitos was made from mushrooms and
jackfruit, which sounded good to me. And it was good! Served with spicy crema
slaw, in addition to the guacamole, the taquitos really hit the spot.
I ran into a
few fellow vegans there, including Meghan, who hadn’t yet taken a bite of her
tacos. Thanks for letting me photograph your chorizo and potato taco, Meghan! Mostly
hidden under the paper in the container is a crispy Bambi taco.
The Bambi
Vegan Tacos food truck can be found at the Oak Park Farmers Market
in McClatchy Park on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and at the U.C. Davis Med
Center Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. They also
serve food from time to time at B-Side and Old Ironsides. Their
website address is https://www.bambivegantacos.com/,
but you may also want to follow them on Instagram to see where
they’ll be next.
