It's part of its foodie claim to fame. Always willing to ape a trendy thing, Vancouver (the real one, not the pipsqueak place across the river from Portland) has also lowered the bureaucratic hurdles to street food vendors. It's not New York City (home to the best falafels I've eaten outside the Old City in Jerusalem) but it's better than it usedta be.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-34163762485524397582011-09-09T16:07:32.973-04:002011-09-09T16:07:32.973-04:00Dayum.

Every Saturday at around 8:30p...I got ya all beat!<br /><br />Every Saturday at around 8:30pm, a nice lady with her kids comes door to door in my apt complex selling pork/chicken/jalapeno cheese tamales for $1.<br /><br />Wrapped in corn husks and made by hand, they are the best stoner food known to mankind. It's the perfect time too.<br /><br />Last Sat. my friends and I were sitting around talking about clandestine horticulture (not here but in general) when I heard the knock! We were primed for some food. (OK, the thick veil of smoke hanging in the room was a dead giveaway)<br /><br />We bought 15 tamales for 3 guys. Now, if we can just get her to bring us some cold cervezas it'll be perfect!David Aquariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357819163784758615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-49880839302073714682011-09-09T01:52:53.941-04:002011-09-09T01:52:53.941-04:00You should mention it to them.

Plenty of roach coaches, but they don't serve tamales for some reason, just tacos and burritos.<br /><br />- Badtux the Baffled PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-22681933094833515582011-09-08T16:44:56.368-04:002011-09-08T16:44:56.368-04:00You don't even have to leave 1000 Oaks to eat ...You don't even have to leave 1000 Oaks to eat off a taco/tamal truck.
