Nighttime fall food truck festival coming to Montgomery
It might feel a little more like fall in Montgomery when an evening festival rolls around on Oct. 24. The Fall Food Truck Festival will be held from 6-10 p.m. in the parking lot of Patterson Field, 1255 Madison Ave. The festival is free to attend. "We had a food truck festival a couple of months ago, and it was during the daytime," said Cathy Shuford, events manager for Montgomery's Parks and Recreation Department. That one was in July at the nearby Multiplex lot, and it had more than a few people scarfing down frozen treats and cold drinks to cool down. Though Alabama's fall is officially underway, daytime temperatures are still pretty warm for a fall festival. "That's why we changed it to nighttime," Shuford said. Shuford said they'll have around 35 to 40 food vendors overall, plus several non-food vendors. "Right now we're at about 18 food trucks, and that's not including the food vendors that will have tents," Shuford said. While everyone is eating and shopping, guests will be entertained by R&B and soul music from the DJ Wright Band of Atlanta, which frequently performs locally at B.B. King's Blues Club in Montgomery. Shuford said they'll also

Why Montgomery locals love these authentic tacos
When Christian Terrones folds fresh ingredients into grilled tortillas, he wants the flavor and visual experience to be amazing. "Our specialty is tacos," said Terrones, manager of his family's restaurant Taquería El Campesino , 1550 Mt. Meigs Road, near downtown Montgomery. Just the name, which translates into "The Farmer's Taco Shop," should be a clue that tacos are something they take pride in. Try a four-taco plate filled with items like steak, barbacoa, chorizo (pork) and beef tongue, and each offers a unique and satisfying bite. They offer many other meats to fill tacos with. "You want it to be tender. You want it to be flavorful," said Terrones, who enjoys putting a variety of them on his own plate. "I don't like to confine myself to just one meat," he said. Tacos are usually topped the traditional way with cilantro and onion. "We take pride in being able to say we have authentic tacos," Terrones said, comparing their grilled double tortilla tacos to the street ones from vendors in Mexico City. "They kind of seal the tortillas together with a little bit of oil around the edges," Terrones said. "Not too much oil because then you'd have a greasy,
