Ode to Thai Short Rib Tacos

My love of the Thai short rib tacos at the Cucina Zapata food truck is no secret, and I can only express this love through a poem. Also, for any English nerds out there, check out that ode structure.

The line dismays and turns away a few.

But those who stay and wait to try a bite

Are dazzled, drawn in, dumbstruck with each chew.

Tortilla, rib meat, spicy sauce, and bright

Slaw, topped with avocado dreams (yes, dreams).

Explosion is too much polite a word –

This culinary masterpiece slays all.

For just a bit of greens

It's yours; and you don't need to be a nerd

(Like me) to follow short rib taco's call.

Cucina Zapata is a food truck located behind the Main Building at Drexel University. It serves the now poetically applauded Thai short rib tacos, in addition to other delicious and tasty meals. If you're ever in the area and enjoy Mexican and Thai food, this place should be top of your list. Many thanks to the tacos that made this ode possible.
