Irvine: Dos Chinos, Flip Truck
My sister Becky is helping me out by being my weekly guest blogger for the Teller lot on Wednesdays and she volunteered to provide a weekly report.
Even though it was supposed to rain, today was a beautiful, sunny day to eat lunch at the Teller lot.
Today’s guest trucks were Flip truck, Burnt truck, Rancho A Go Go, and Morsel’s Bakery Truck. I’m still not entirely sure who is sponsoring the beautiful picnic tables that line the back, but people were definitely enjoying the fact that they were there.
After spending the last two weeks eating in Italy, I was looking forward to eating at my favorite taco truck, Dos Chinos. The bbq pork and asada taco didn’t disappoint and satisfied both my Asian craving and Mexican cravings that I had at the same time!
My co-worker got the “Killer Combo” at Flip truck: a choice of 2 sliders (Ahi and American Kobe pictured), a side of fries and a small cupcake.

Los Alamitos: The Lime Truck, Tropical Shave Ice
If it’s Tuesday, it’s Los Alamitos Din Din a Go Go at 11081 Winners Circle.
Tonight the Lime Truck was celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Corned Beef Hash on mustard grain cabbage. I ordered that, and the “Nice Little Salad” with Fried chicken, and the Lychee Limeaid to drink.
Martin got the Ahi Tuna Poke, Spicy Hanger Steak Taco, and (off the menu) the Shishito Blistered Peppers.
For dessert…. Tropical Shave Ice!
