What's up with that taco truck taco businthe Nisqually Basin? With all the restaurant choices in that pocket off the freeway, the big white bus with a purple mural and indoor seating is always busy.

I investigated.

"We're especially busy because of the military," says Megan Goodwin, Tacos Lu Fuenta employee. "There are a lot of soldiers from the base during the day."

Tacos Lu Fuenta serves up typical mobile taco fair, including a popular special of four tacos or four burritos for $4.60. Veggie burritos, California tacos and other take-out options are less than five bucks. Chicken, steak, tongue and chorizo are a few of the meat choices.

Based on the recommendation of Goodwin, I order up pork and steak tacos, two of each. I wait in the seating area of the bus - which blew my mind. Who ever knew you could sit in these things? It was a nice set-up, with bar stools, a television and a heater. The kitchen was tucked in the back. I didn't smell grease, considering the close proximity. There were even highchairs for little ones.

And it's not just a nosy reporter and military that eat there, locals have been enjoying Tacos Lu Fuenta at this location for more than two years - five years at the previous location, across the street next to Norma's Burgers.

Caitlin Krenn lives and works in the area, and has been visiting the taco bus for four years.

"I'm here whenever I don't bring my lunch," she says. "It's fast, convenient and has really great food."
