<p>Only a few miles from the Mexico border sits this family-run tortilla factory that&rsquo;s been churning out fresh corn tortillas since 1973. Most of the tortillas they make&mdash;up to 1,000 per day&mdash;are sold to other local restaurants, but they also serve fresh Mexican dishes in house as well, like the Picadillo Tostada. Ground beef is cooked with tomatoes, jalapenos, green beans and a mix of spices before it&rsquo;s added to a crisp tortilla along with beans and a house-made chile con queso. The tostada is then topped with cheese and fresh lettuce for an added crunch.</p>

<p>The incredible flavors in this barbecue joint&rsquo;s meats come from their specialty smoker, which runs on 100% oak wood fire. In addition to traditional barbecue cuts like brisket, they&rsquo;re making serious sausages they call the Texas Hot Gut. Beef and pork are ground together with a house-made spice paste before being piped into natural casings. The links are then cold smoked for four hours to give them the perfect texture. &ldquo;No dainty little sausage here, that&rsquo;s meaty,&rdquo; Guy said.</p>

Everything on the menu of this taco truck is 100% plant-based.<b> </b>Guy loved the<span> Milanese Torta:</span> Delfin makes his own seitan steak&mdash;a plant protein made from wheat gluten&mdash;which he then coats in panko and deep fries.

Even as a meat lover, Guy was impressed: &ldquo;You get such great texture in that seitan,&rdquo; he said.</p>
