Another Taco Truck??? . . . Don Chow Tacos

Don Chow’s Tacos were located, last Friday, in a cool area of Silverlake. I didn’t know that there was a hip crowd with some cool venues in that part of LA. I’ve been meaning to try all these different taco trucks. Don Chow is the third different one that I have tried this year – after Kogi and El Gallito.

Anyways… Lawrence and Dominic, of Don Chow’s Tacos, feature Tacos, Torta’s and Burritos, with Chinese “cooked and influenced” meats. They have BBQ pork and Kung Pao Chicken. They also feature a pretty good Shrimp as well. One of my favorite things in the whole world is BBQ Pork – cantonese style. But unfortunately, Don Chow doesn’t do it that well. But the Kung Pao Chicken taco was pretty good. But unexpectedly, the Soy-Ginger Shrimp was really tasty and good. I don’t usually like shrimp, but I had to try their asia inspired servings. The shrimp had good texture and was my favorite of the night. In addition, they had carne asada and carnitas – but there was no way I would order that tonight. I do regret that I didn’t try their chimales – a Chinese-Mexican Tamales. I will have to try it next time.
