The town of Sisters has a wealth of delightful restaurants and food carts—many of them serving up Mexican fare—but this new little gem in the Eurosports food cart garden is taking home the title of Best New Restaurant in Sisters this year. (It’s a category we’ve just added to our Best of Central Oregon lineup for the smaller towns around Bend this year.) Coco Loco Taco Bar, housed in a welcoming food truck, opened for business only this June. Since then, it has gained a reputation for serving up not only some of the classic tacos that people love—but also offers vegan taco varieties that include organic beans, cabbage, house-made salsa fresca, avocado cubes, cilantro and a special vegan Coco Loco sauce. Also on the menu are nachos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls and paletas—fresh Mexican popsicles made with real fruit, and you’ve got both lunch (or dinner) and dessert handled.

I love food trucks and frequent them often but calling a food truck “Best New Restaurant” is disingenuous and, frankly, unfair to brick and mortar restaurants that compete and have relatively huge expenses and operational overhead. But that aside, on its face it’s just plain obvious: a food truck is not a restaurant. It’s ok to delineate between the two, so let’s do.
