Meal Ticket first told you about Jose Garces' Guapos Tacos truck in May 2010, and we snuck a peek at the 45K-count bottlecap-laden, tortilla-slingin' ride back in September at Amis Industry Night. Now that the weather's juuuuustttt starting to break a little, Garces (right) and restaurant designer Jun Aizaki (left) have announced their intention to roll Guapos back out in Philly. The truck will serve primarily at private events (call 215-625-2920 to book), but there's also plans to have it shoot around the city a bit. Hit up the jump for a partial preview of the grub Guapos Tacos will dish out (prices will range from $3 to $7).

Guacamole
Tamales
Mission-style Veggie Quesadilla
Adobo Chicken: white onion, radish, cilantro, cotija and lime
Carnitas: smoky black beans, pineapple-habanero salsa
Mahi-Mahi: pickled red cabbage
Desayuno: scrambled eggs, chorizo, poblano rajas and salsa Mexicana
Duck Barbacoa: radish kimchi, togarashi aioli
