EL TAQUITO PLACERO – Mexican
El Taquito Placero is a Mexican food truck licensed as a mobile food dispensing vehicle, and its regular stop is along the Overseas Highway in Key Largo rather than any fixed dining room. The kitchen inside makes its own corn tortillas by hand, then builds street tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tostadas around them, with grilled elote on the cob rounding out the window's offerings. It is a small, order-at-the-window operation rather than a sit-down restaurant, run entirely out of the truck itself. Locals treat it as a quick, inexpensive stop for straightforward Mexican street food along the Upper Keys corridor.
