On the culture-rich road of Rundberg Lane in north Austin, a food truck on every corner symbolizes the American dream — one that’s only become further out of reach over the past year.
. “[Rundberg is] a place where working families can still pay the rent, while not being isolated or alienated from their culture and their communities,” says 32-year-old Austin City Councilmember Greg Casar, who began his career as a ground-level organizer in the area.
And for the hardworking taqueras and cocineros who run these operations, especially in Rundberg, that life is often as filled with hardship as it is passion. It’s also tucked so far into this Chevron’s parking lot that you’re likely to circle the block three or four times before finding it — and that’s assuming you don’t mistake it for Tacos Lyly’s, the othermore visible, red taco trailer in this same parking lot.
