Taco Spot is a food truck-turned-permanent-spot in Fayetteville. Rather than traveling around, I think they have a solid home on Court Street - next to an ice cream spot. Tacos and ice cream, does it get much better?
The menu isn't huge - a few tacos, nachos, rice and beans. But they also have specials that are always creative and look delicious.
They have beef quesa birria tacos, chicken tinga tacos, and barbecue pork tacos. You can get three tacos with rice and beans, so I did that with one of each kind.
The beans, which I'm not usually a fan of refried beans, were good because they were kinda thick and had cheese on top, so points there. And the rice was not dry, which is another common fatal flaw.
My favorite taco was the bbq pork. I like the bit of smoky and sweetness. But they were all good - flavorful, moist and creative yet classic. The chopped onions and cilantro make the tacos so fresh. Solid tacos.

Let's hit up yet another Gino's location - this time in Summersville.
I went with an old stand-by: the wings in the tangy gold sauce. I really enjoyed the sweetness with a bit of tang. My only downside was that they were a bit on the dry side. Dipping them in blue cheese really helped, though!

Local Eats is a new food truck that has been making the rounds at area events.
I was able to check them out at the Clay Center on a very warm day.
One thing that's really fun about this food truck is that their offerings are creative. They're embracing food truck cuisine in a fun way: walking tacos, walking banana puddings, waffled chicken tenders, and more.
After a bit of a wait, I received my food. The chicken tender waffle cone was tasty - a sweet waffle cone filled with hunks of crispy chicken bites drizzled with BBQ sauce and there was a side of syrup, too. I managed to get two things that didn't have flat bottoms, so I was balancing things precariously.
The walking banana pudding was my favorite. Because it's like such a smart idea that I haven't seen elsewhere, and it's so simple. And so good.
The mac & cheese wasn't bad; you could tell it had been reheated though, as it was separating a bit. So, they're still new and nailing down the timings - but the food, I would go back just to try out the rest of the menu.

Gourmet cookies are having a moment right now, and one Fayetteville area food truck is making it happen locally.
A few weeks ago, I went to the Gaines Estate, which is a lovely venue that hosts Monday Markets where they invite food vendors, crafters and musicians to set up.
I went when I heard Sugar Attack Cookie Company would be there! The cookies are dished out from a food truck - they're quick, ginormous and have fun flavors.
I went with 5 different kinds: cookies & cream, it's my party, blueberry crisp, cookie monster and strawberries & cream.
These are big, stacked tall cookies stuffed with cookie bits, chocolate chips, buttercream and more. My favorite, though?
The blueberry crisp! It was kinda like my favorite kind of dessert - a fruit crisp, which has the fruit, an oatmeal topping and the buttery brown sugar goodness. This was similar, in cookie form. What's your favorite cookie here?
