We all mourned when Nate closed up shop on 2nd Street and while we will all miss him, the good news is that Nate Guttierez is back and will be slinging tacos in Carytown. Instead of being both the chief cook AND bottle washer, this time he will focus solely on the food and leave [...]
Nate Gutierrrez talked to Nathan Cushing about the demise of Truck Stop. Tacos are not a gourmet food that warrants high prices. “You can’t sell tacos for more than $3,” he said. As a result, Nate’s business model relies on a high volume of customers to generate revenue, and while Nate acknowledged an emphatic appreciation [...]
Sadly, Nate’s nationally renowned Taco Truck Stop on 2nd Street is closing it’s doors. Nate cites family obligations (he recently welcomed a new taquito into his house).

This is in lieu of the anniversary celebration I forgot to tell you about that took last night. Brother Kenn tells me it will be a repeat of last night’s slightly more robust celebration. Kenn-Tico is another member of the food cart armada that put down roots as a brick and mortar restaurant. Others on [...]
RVANews reports the “fine mess” created when the Living Social took Nate’s Taco Truck Stop for a bumpy ride. Living Social sold 442 coupons without the requested fine print. Coupons must be redeemed at the Truck Stop, not the food cart. This caused some ruffled feathers when customers found they couldn’t redeem them at the food [...]

Nate’s Taco Truck Stop took 2nd place in Richmond Dot Com’s Besties Award for Taco in Richmond. This is pretty high praise in my opinion. If you’ve ever wandered around the Southside, you know there’s an authentic Mexican taco stand on nearly every corner. We’re glad Nate chose Jackson Ward to set up his “truck [...]
