For their year-ending outing our explorers finally made the trip across the loop to Wacker & Adams and found a season's worth of trucks lined up on the west side South Wacker. We had delicious pork tamales from Chicago’s Tamale Spaceship.

Here's the Spaceship story from a May, 2013 post by The Latin Kitchen: "With a theme of great food and Lucha Libre Mexican wrestlers, Chicago’s Tamale Spaceship food truck is serving Mexican cuisine with character!"
"The truck’s specialty is tamales, serving eight to 10 variations every day. All tamales are gluten free. Vegan options are available."
"'Our homemade-style food features flavors from all over Mexico,' says Manny Hernandez, the truck’s co-founder. 'From complex Oaxacan mole to simple sauces, our food is all house made, we use local and seasonal ingredients to reach the quality needed to satisfy the Chicago foodies.'"
