Fucken shit location || Fucken good tacos

There's a lot of shit locations around the world...Australia isn't one of them.

The lucky country.

Well, there's plenty of things wrong here, but I'd say for sure I'm lucky to have been born in a very affluent, diverse and safe country in which I have thrived - yep, I've built a good and (more than) comfortable life.

There's some fucken shit locations here though and I had the pleasure of eating some tacos at one such place recently.



I was in Melbourne with a little time to myself and decided upon a walk around what could only be described as an eclectic, "colourful" and alternative area. It wasn't pretty. Ugly would have described it better - a mix of very old cottage homes, redeveloped new ones and commercial and industrial spaces and it all felt quite tired and rundown despite its proximity to the affluent, modern (and massive) city of Melbourne only a handful of kilometres away. Graffiti covered almost everything, I fucken hate graffiti, and it was sad to see so many old buildings and homes so rundown and defaced by cunts with spray cans.

Interestingly, the average house price is $801,374.88, and prices range from $299,900 to $1,249,999.00 (Australian dollars of course). That's quite cheap to be honest (although the homes were quite small) but I'd certainly not want to live there, it was a fucken shit location.

On my walk I came across a pop up taco stand - one of the cool things about the diversity of this country is we have foods from literally every corner of the world. They'd parked in a petrol station, threw out a few tables and chairs and that was that.

I was hungry. Always am.

I stopped and grabbed one brisket and one chicken taco (two for $16) and sat and the dodgy table and enjoyed what I can only describe as two fucken good tacos. By the time I was finished the line up at the food truck had about 40 people in it and things were starting to get pretty busy.

Melbourne is well known for it's food truck culture and there's some really great foods on offer, good taste and quality, which pops up around the place randomly. I guess they post locations on their Facebook sites but I don't use Facebook because it's for brainless cunts. So, I was fortunate to have run into the food truck...and to be hungry.

Do you have a food truck culture in your location and if so have you eaten at them? Tell me about it.

This photo was posted by @scubahead way back when. I agree graffiti is usually retarded looking and just gang related bullshit names by egotistical cunts acting out like the petulant arrested developers they are. (They Never Grew Up)

But this photo of a painting is some straight up art. I told Cam I had to steal that photo. Just breathtaking artistic ability on display there.

Tacos..?

No Thank You...

Taco Tuesday 2016-04-12.jpg

I just flagged a food truck down a few weeks back at a jobsite delivery. I had a small goulash pasta plate and a Monster Energy drink for $8.

Yep, there's some amazing stret art and I like it a lot, it's the other rubbish I'm talking about. Heritage buildings defaced with scribble and all...you said it, cunts.

Taco bell...any good? We have it here but I've not ever been there. It's being sold off too, far too much competition I think.

Taco bell is ok I guess. Used to be a cheap lunch. I do not go there much anymore since they raised their prices. Who has not raised their prices to meet rising costs right?

Oh wait... that would be the trucking industry

Yep, prices are just going up and up but u fortunately it's not evenly spread among those whose hands touch something, farmers, truckers, nursing and so on.

Theres some bloody good street art out there for sure. I always keep an eye out for it. In my hometown of Leicester they have a big streetart festival every 2 years called Bring the Paint and in my opinion it has had a really positive impact on the aesthetic of the city. Adds a nice cool touch to some otherwise quite stark areas

good to get your tacos on time, before the rush began...the food truck culture is trending here too...but most of them selling hot and spicy fast food that range from noodles to tea to burger to different fried item...they have a well installed kitchen, and once they park in market place, it always crowded, especially during winter season...i avoid eating from these stops bur prefer to have some coffee and ice cream

The food truck culture is quite strong in Australia with so many different types of food, one of the greatest things about Australia; the diversity. Good to hear you have similar.

Getting hungry here,, can I have some?

For sure, I'll give you a call next time I go and meet you there.

😊Thank you for that.

we have food trucks! Typical of my region, not stuff from other cultures like tacos, they are called "panini onti" which means "dirty sandwich", because tradition used to be that it wasnt really a clean place and the people there weren't really cleaning a lot...of course now it's changed and it's clean but the name remains

also you can put on in everything you want, litterally you can make them put every single ingredient they have, you can pick burger, cotoletta, sausage, then all the sauces you want, onions, pepperoni, zucchini etc

sometimes i eat there, like when it's late and im on the road

I reckon I've eaten at a few of those when I was in Italy over a few trips there. Tasty! I like food truck foods, usually different from restaurants and cafes and very often creative and good quality.

Yep, I don't mind them either, at fairs they are perfect

We also have the fish ones, giving stuff related to fish, like fried

I've been around the city quite a bit and it's not usual to see food trucks, but I do see them on major holidays. Right now there is a festival called Flavours of Malaga and there are many stalls and carts, the same happens with the Christmas markets, in the middle of the stands there are many of these carts, especially selling fritters, churros, chocolate, coffee and many sweets as well. I love fritters but I make them with my grandmother's recipe, so I eat what I make at home.

I don't mind some churros now and then, not often though.

I eat churros about 4 times a year... not much, with a hot chocolate in winter... not bad!

Not bad? Fucken bloody good!

They are few times.... no abuse of it😆

Here is Nigeria, we do not have food truck but we have eateries cafe and mama put(Road side food vendors) I hardly eat in mama put because mist if them don't appeal hygienic enough for me but my friends how had tried a few of them said the food was great.

I would rather snack on gala(sausage rolls) and carbonated drink than to eat in an unhygienic restaurant. Not all of the mama put are unhygienic though, maybe I have not been paying attention because I hardly eat out.

Yeah, I'm not surprised you don't have food trucks there, doesn't seem like the sort of place for such things.

Food trucyk may be a fantastic thing at your end, I bet you would like our mama out too if you have the opportunity to try it out on one of your visits when you come to Africa the future.

I don't own any food trucks, but when I travel far and see one, I always take the opportunity to go over and see what's on. I feel like many of the best meals I've ever had have been from places like these, and it does seem like they naturally seek out crappy locations to set up shop hahaha. Always happy to greet you Galenkp!✌️

Sometimes those food trucks have the best food. I've been to a couple misses in the past, but for the most part they are great. One of my favorites was a truck down in Tennessee that did peach cobbler. It was a true southern delight! Street tacos are always fine by me. Those look pretty great!

Judging from a look at your wallet you are only here on the Hive to take away from it.

No investment and power ups. Only take take take...

@galenkp is one of the best we have here on the Hive blockchain. Like him I have no appreciation for the content created by those who only take from this platform and do not invest in it.

Just my observations. No disrespect meant.
