Wanna open a taco truck

>Wanna open a taco truck
>would corner the market in my area
>worked out pricing, could do it cheaply and sell cheaply
>all food prep can be done off site easy af and cooked to order
>we could even make handmade tortilla
>can easily do fried tortilla chips/nachos as extra menu items
>would make bank

the only issue is that I live in fucking New Zealand and have never had authentic Mexican in my life. Yeah I could follow vetted recipes but I'd never know for sure if it tasted the same.

that and I cant think of a name for it.

Why would you want to open a taco truck if you've never even had real tacos?

>handmade tortillas
This is honestly what makes a difference between a good taco truck and a FUCKING AMAZING taco truck
>never had authentic Mexican food
Sheeeesh tough shit buddy my advice would be for you to stick with classic Mexican meats
>carne asada, carnitas, suadero, chorizo, lengua, cabeza (last two might be a bit difficult to supply)
>salsas/condiments can all be made easily off site
Very true. Guacamole might be your only problem.
If authenticity is truly your goal here are a few pointers
>tacos shouldn't take more than 3-4 bites to eat
>dip tortillas in lard/carne drippings and then keep them warm on the plancha
>mix finely chopped onions and cilantro together and have guests add it to their liking
>rule of thumb is: red salsa-pretty spicy. Green salsa-more flavorful and little to no spiciness. Guac-most taco places tend to keep it either medium to low spicy and the consistency should be a bit runny
>LEARN TO MAKE HORCHATA YOUR GUESTS WILL LOVE YOU BECAUSE IT WILL STOP THEIR MOUTHS FROM BEING ON FIRE
>skip tortilla chips/nachos. Go with red radishes and peeled and sliced cucumbers they taste excellent with tacos and some lime+salt

call it user's Tacos

and I mean 'user' not your name.

>spaco's tacos
>tacos for macaco's
>peewee kiwi's mexican eaties
>The Tacos Inna Truck Seller or The TITS for short

I've had manya delicious taco before user, but none that i can say are "authentic"

>skip tortilla chips/nachos. Go with red radishes and peeled and sliced cucumbers they taste excellent with tacos and some lime+salt
I want the nachos as a seperate meal from the tacos, so if someone doesnt ""like"" tacos they have other options.

>peewee kiwi's mexican eaties
im sold user.

>New Zealand
Take advantage of the local seafood maybe?

Also maybe instead of menu items do an assembly line type deal (think Subway).
Depending on your setup you might even be able to allow self service. Charge for tortillas/meat and let customer build their own shit.

Tons of americans have never tasted actual mexican food, they don't have a problem
I'm assuming kiwis wouldn't notice if you got it all wrong, I'm just assuming they don't like mexican food as much as kiwi food

a kitted truck, licensing, cert, insurance, initial advertising, and supplies are $50k
a round-trip flight from auckland to LA plus an airbnb for a week and an expansive food budget is around $2500

take 5% of your budget and go do some research.
