Spring break can be a mixed bag. On the one hand, there’s that posse of friends who are Bahamas-bound. Then again, there are plenty of folks stuck in town or at home, wallowing with roommates or parents.

In this week’s Dive, we take a look at one of the finest dining traditions in the area — taco trucks. While these providers of meals on four wheels aren’t typically revered with the same respect as restaurants, we thought it was high time these paragons of cheap and tasty tortilla- wrapped fare received their due. Staff writers Rachel Arnett, Joe Faile and Jonathan Pattishall sampled various fare from Carrboro’s Captain Poncho’s, Taqueria Jalisco and Costa Azul. As patron Ryan Mills put it, “I want to spend my whole paycheck here, but I can’t because it’s so cheap.” As impoverished and constantly hungry college students, we couldn’t have said it any better ourselves.

After watching “Machete” I wonder what’s wrong with Robert Rodriguez, but I don’t wonder long. The all-terrain movie man has run laps around any idea we have of Hollywood decency. He cashes in as director of the Spy Kids franchise on odd-numbered years and collaborates with bloody Quentin Tarantino on the even ones. So what’s he getting at? What’s his game?
