I saw a post on facecrack for the Los Medranos Tacos food truck saying it was going to be parked in Menards last Friday afternoon and tacos sounded delicious. So it’s off to Menards we go!

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal - This Week: Los Medranos Tacos Food Truck
Here we are at Menards and I parked over here on the side of the lot.
There’s the Los Medranos Tacos food truck. Let’s go check it out.
There’s the food truck and the menu is limited to tacos and nachos. Sometimes a limited menu is good, it means they just want to specialize in a couple things and do them very well.
There’s the owner of Los Medranos Tacos and I didn’t get his name, but he was a very nice guy. While he prepares this week’s steering wheel meal, we’ll take a couple of photos out here.
There’s the back of the truck and this is the first food truck I’ve ever seen that has its own dining area. That’s a nice touch!
Okay, our order is up, let’s go get it and head back to the MBIP Mobile!
Back to the car and I’ll put this week’s meal in the back seat while we get all set up!
It’s not blazing hot today, so I’ve just got the fan on and the radio is tuned to 102.7 Super Hits and The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann is currently playing.

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal
Time to assemble our steering wheel tray and there’s this week’s Steering Wheel Meal housed in that styrofoam container.
This week’s water is Ice Mountain and it looks very watery.
Okay, time to dig in to this week’s Steering Wheel Meal!
Course Number One: The Main Dish
I got three steak tacos and I got them Mexican style, which means they’re garnished with onion and cilantro. You can get them mild or hot and I chose hot, so there’s some hot sauce on them as well.
I squeezed some lime juice on them and now it’s time to try them out!
Wow, these are tasty and fantastic steak tacos! I mentioned that sometimes a limited menu is a good thing and this is absolute proof of that.
The steak is juicy, tender and tasty and the crisp onions and cilantro complement them perfectly. The hot sauce adds some heat and a little zing.
I highly recommend these tacos!

Course Number Two: The Dessert
Since there was no dessert offerings on the food truck, I went in to Menards and got this All Caramel Milky Way candy bar. It was a sweet treat!

Special Bonus Post: Chelsie Tamms And Lettering Works Celebrates Ten Years In Business At Bradley University!
I first met Chelsie Tamms back in February or 2017 when she was an artist in residence in The Prairie Center of the Arts. I had read about her and went and met her and wrote a post about Chelsie and her Lettering Works business and you can read that post by clicking here.
We became friends and Chelsie has done all of the artwork for my Marty Monologues shows and the annual Amber Birthday parties here at MBIP. Her work and designs never fails to amaze me!
In 2019, Chelsie moved to Chicago with her boyfriend and now husband, Daniel Hart and has grown her Lettering Works into a very successful business there in the Windy City. You can read some of the highlights of Chelsie’s career by clicking here and seeing a spotlight I did on her and her Lettering Works business last year.
This year marks Chelsie’s 10 year anniversary in business with Lettering Works and her alma mater, Bradley University invited her to give a lecture on her decade in business at Horowitz Auditorium last Thursday. I went and below are some highlights from her informative and entertaining lecture.
I met Chelsie outside of the Horowitz Auditorium shortly before her lecture was to begin. She’s looking fantastic as always and it was a pleasure to see her and catch up on things!
The lecture started off with Chelsie saying how she’s come full circle from graduating from Bradley University to giving this lecture ten years later.
Chelsie told the crowd how she started and grew her business here in Peoria after graduating from Bradley.
She explained how she transitioned herself and her business to a bigger market in Chicago in 2019.
Chelsie shared ten valuable life and business lessons she’s learned from running and operating her own business for a decade.
This was both an entertaining and such an informative lecture! I really enjoyed it and so did the crowd. It ended with a lively question and answer session and the crowd was really into it and it was so cool to see!
Congratulations, Chelsie on a decade of growing your business and life into a huge and impressive success!
And thanks so much for the friendship and the fantastic work you’ve done for me, Chelsie! I truly appreciate it!
