Woody's Taco Island Truck

Woody's Fish Tacos

Today is Thursday.  Working at the Inner Harbor means that today is Taco Thursday because the Woody's Taco Truck is a block away.  If you've never heard of Woody's, here's where you can get more information:  http://www.woodystacoisland.com/

On Thursdays the truck can be found at the corner of Commerce and Pratt St. from 11:00am-3:00pm.  There always seems to be a line (for good reason), but it moves along fast as the service is very prompt.  If you see a lengthy line, just wait it out.  I assure you it'll be worth it.  Another characteristic worth noting is their frequent visitor program.  If you get 10 orders of tacos, you get 1 free.  A nice deal if you come to the truck and pickup big orders for offices.

Now on to the food.  Woody's has a normal sized food truck menu.  About 6 main items, a special, and some sides.  The special is usually the best way to go in my experience.  Specials I've had include Fried Shrimp Tacos and BBQ Teriyaki Steak Tacos.  If you choose to avoid the special, Woody's Fish Tacos (pictured above - $12) and the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Tacos ($9) are the way to go.  The Fish Tacos feature fresh marinated Tilapia, pico de gallo, and cheddar jack cheese.  The little containers feature slaw and fresh tomatoes. 
Three tacos come in a box and are more than enough to satisfy even the largest lunch hunger.  If you look at the picture, Woody's has their own special sauce they apply to some of the meals.  On the counter in front of the truck, however, are the usual Tabasco sauces and Sriracha sauce (which goes perfectly with the tacos).  Without the sauces, the tacos have plenty of flavor and not much spice.  If you like spice, add the sauce.

It's a little bit of a pricey lunch, but worth every penny that you pay.  And hey, if you're ever over there on a Taco Thursday around noon...you'll see me salivating while waiting for my tacos!
