'John wanted to do things a little more his way this go around,' Lynsey Thompson, co-founder of Three Little Pigs, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.
Well, the food truck’s customers loved the concept so much that they requested another fried taco pop-up, and its second iteration heads to Ybor Heights on Sunday, Aug. 6 from 4 p.m.-9 p.m.
“Obviously fried tacos are delicious, so we're going to run with that; But there will be updated recipes and more menu items to offer,” This Little Pig writes on social media.
"John wanted to do things a little more his way this go around. A little more thoughtful with ingredients and the way proteins are cooked and seasoned," Lynsey Thompson, co-founder of Three Little Pigs, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. "We are also offering more than just tacos."
Newly-opened brewery Deviant Libation—located at 3800 N Nebraska Ave.—hosts next weekend’s pop-up and beers like its lemon-ginger Crate Digger sour ale will surely compliment This Little Pig’s spread of fried tacos.
Fried tacos can be purchased in sets of two and are filled with a variety of proteins, from beef and shrimp to fish and tofu. Quesadillas stuffed with pork, chicken or mushrooms are also on next Sunday’s menu, alongside from-scratch guacamole and salsa.
Besides its Mema’s-inspired tacos, This Little Pig dishes out specialties like fried green tomato sandwiches, loaded tater tots and spicy mac and cheese at its other pop-ups throughout the week.
For recent Tampa transplants, Mema's Alaskan Tacos was a Ybor City haunt that was known for its fried tacos and other affordable eats. The popular restaurant dished out greasy tacos from 2004-2011, and many Tampeños fondly remember the late-night spot.
Seminole Heights-based This Little Pig is also raising money to give its food truck, Petunia, a facelift. Its GoFundMe has raised $1,465 of its $6,000 goal so far.
