    This is what the podcast is all about. I had Tacos Cometa last night in Fremont and the food blew me away. I just had to get these guys in the studio to find out what they are about. Turns out there is a good reason they cook tacos like Michelin star chefs. It was also great meeting Kyle who was able to move from food truck to brick and mortar from the support of community.
