Taquerias Latinas Dos, the name lacks the strained creative pretension of Anglo-food eateries. White urbanites are compelled by something to give their establishments a cryptic one to three syllable name that is, at best, tangentially connected to the thing being sold. "Burn: a gastro-vegan barbecue truck."
Taquerias Latinas Dos seems so bald and descriptive. What do you sell here? Tacos. Who are you? Latinos. Is this your only location? Actually this is our second. I never asked where Taquerias Latinas Uno was. Then again, it might be the Taco truck owned by two Latinos, or maybe they are just Latino style tacos (perhaps there's some other kind), I really should have paid more attention in second year Spanish.
Whatever the name, if you're crossing the Jose Rizal bridge headed to Beacon Hill, stop at the truck across from the Asian grocery, bring cash, order the sopes.
I love how you talked about the name. That was excellent. And now I must try it.
