Sweet on taco trucks

Everyone knows the best tacos are served from catering trucks and mobile stalls. It turns out the most fun desserts may be, too. There’s a truck that parks at Echo Park Avenue right below Sunset on weekday evenings, and it’s got all the sugary fried goodness you could hope for.

They also have fruit, but that’s boring. Unless of course you order it “con crema.” Better yet, try the fried plaintains with strawberry jam and melted, sweet cheese…I guess it’s safe to say those are an acquired taste. And there’s nothing wrong with a classic: The churros here are the best you’ll ever have, but be sure to ask for them fresh-made.

 
And get them before you hit the bars. The truck leaves around 10 p.m., but nothing’s a better base layer for margaritas at Barragan’s than dough fried in oil.
