I’m no stranger to street fare. And the offerings at some cities’ rolling restaurants (inaptly dubbed roach coaches) are some of the best eating around. Mexican cuisine seems to have cornered that market in this neck of the woods, but go to other cities like Portland, Los Angeles and New York, and you can take a culinary world tour and never actually sit down to eat. Still, I sometimes yearn for something a little more ambitious from Mexican food. Enter Vuelve a la Vida. (Literally translated “Live once again,” this biz name must have an intriguing story behind it.) Since this Mexican eatery opened over a year ago, it has acquired a cult of devotees addicted to its authentic moles, carnitas and abodabe, as well as the soft tacos made from fresh, hand-made tortillas. I could go on about this place, but check out the kudos pouring in through Yelp. http://www.yelp.com/biz/vuelve-a-la-vida-tacoma
