This Percheron taco, $2, is loaded up with avocado, tomato, green chile and plump carne asada. 

Diego Armando is from Hermosillo, home of the Percheron. The name means Clydesdale, because the taco is pretty darn big. At his South 12th truck What a Burro, the Percheron features a huge pile of carne asada, pico, roasted green chile, two slices of ripe avocado and melted mozzarella cheese that falls off the edge and gets cooked to a crisp on the flattop. It is large, but it is in no way messy. It's sublime. 

A Percheron can also be a burrito, which is fitting because What a Burro is actually more of a burrito stand. But so what, this is America! A burrito place can make the best taco in Tucson. I am sure of it, because I went back three times. And even that doesn't seem like nearly enough. Have you been?

THOU SHALT: Put buttery ripe avocado on top of carne asada. Not many places seem to be doing this, but it pushes it into another dimension. Powerhouse!
