West Seattle food news: Truck tidbits, with a Rancho Bravo update

Two notes, both cooked up in this WSB Forums thread but worth noting here too: Marination Mobile will NOT be at its usual High Point spot tomorrow – it’s part of the Mobile Chowdown in Interbay 11 am-3 pm (map). Meantime, a quick update on Rancho Bravo Tacos‘ plan to come to West Seattle (first reported in April); checked with proprietor Freddy and he said he’s aiming for a mid-November start. He also had a question for YOU regarding the site (the old West Seattle Motors lot [map]):

How about some ideas from your beloved readers about what to do with the building on the property since the taco stand will be outside?

Indoor seating for those rainy, cold November/December/January/February days?

Trader Joe’s!
Oh I kid. You know it was bound to come up, though. I can’t wait for the taco stand, myself.

That area of road really needs something beautiful. It’s all paved over, so how about a container garden of hardy, drought-tolerant plants? Would kinda go with the southwest theme.

Definitely some covered areas for people waiting for their vittles.

Maybe invite some local farmers/craftspeople/vendors to set up and sell their products as well? Or space for local nonprofits to bring their info and sit and talk with people waiting for food.
