LIFE’S FLAVORS 1/19- ALLISON LIBBY-THESING OF THE OAKS BED & BREAKFAST
Let’s Eat ~ Tito’s Ricos Tacos
Happy New Year and welcome back to the Oaks Bed and Breakfast dinning out series “Let’s Eat.” This year we are going to feature local food trucks that are in and around the Hopkins County area. So if you have a suggestion please drop us a line on social media or send an email to let us know where you think we should head out to next, info@theoaksbandb.net.
Our first visit this year is to Tito’s Ricos Tacos. Typically they are located behind the fire station on Bill Bradford across from Windsor Plaza in Sulphur Springs. We drive by there all the time and so I could hardly wait to check out their eats.
As you can imagine they have tacos, quesadillas, Mexican sandwiches, burritos and breakfast burritos. There is bound to be a favorite that you can find and enjoy. If you do not want to eat in your car they have a couple of picnic tables behind the truck to enjoy your food at.
I took my lunch back to the bed and breakfast to enjoy on our deck, since the weather has been pretty mild for January. I picked up a few different options so the kids could let me know their favorite. I asked the cook what is their best item and he told me quesadillas so of course we tried out the beef steak quesadilla. Everyone really enjoyed it and found it to be their favorite. They were even nice enough to make me a cheese only quesadilla, which was great.
I also picked up Marinated Pork and Chicken Fajita tacos just to add some variety into the meal. The tacos were good but everyone enjoyed the quesadilla the best. I should have picked up a sandwich too to see how they make their tortas, since back in the day we used to throw those down as a daily special at Coffee off the Square. Maybe next time.
The red and green sauce that came with the quesadilla were on point. A little more heat with the green than the red but each added wonderful flavor to an already great tasting meal.
Be sure to swing by Tito’s Ricos when you are in town or passing by, I don’t think you will be disappointed. Next month we will stop by our next Food Truck looking for the best options in the county.
