Alright, buckle up buttercups, because today's tasty trek involves tires, tacos, and a terrific truck. Yours truly is behind the wheel of a twenty twenty two Toyota Tacoma TRD, a tenacious titan of the tarmac, fresh off the lot at West Hills Autoplex. My mission? A county-wide quest across Kitsap in pursuit of the perfect tacos for the team back in town. They're waiting, mouths watering, for a taco tsunami, and it's my duty to deliver. 

The Tacoma, let me tell you, it's more than just transportation; it's a trusty taco-transporting chariot. The rumble of the engine is a tantalizing tune, a pre-emptive promise of the feisty flavors to come. 

And speaking of promises, West Hills Autoplex? These folks aren't just selling steel and rubber; they're dealing in dreams on wheels. Cruising through Bremerton, I recall their remarkable range of rides – a tremendous tapestry of new and quality used cars. You could trip over trucks, tumble into Taurus, or meander through Mazdas. And the team there? Top-tier talent, truly. Friendly faces and fantastic financing – they make acquiring your automotive aspirations absolutely awesome. 

First stop: Juanito's Taqueria in Bremerton. A local legend, they tell me. And legends, my friends, are built on truth… and tantalizing tastes. I snag a trio of their famed carne asada tacos. The tortillas? Tender and toasted just right. The meat? Marinated to magnificent levels of savory satisfaction. A squeeze of lime, a dash of their salsa verde – magnifico! The Tacoma purrs outside, patiently awaiting the next taco target.

Next, the Tacoma tackles the twisting turns towards Port Orchard and Taqueria El Rey. The name itself hints at royalty, and these tacos? They reign supreme. I opt for their al pastor – that slow-cooked, marinated pork with a whisper of pineapple. Each bite is a burst of sweet and savory, a tropical tango on the tongue. The staff here are smiling, the vibe is vibrant, and the tacos? Truly tremendous. My Tacoma, basking in the afternoon sun, seems to approve of my discerning palate.

Onward we rumble to Tracyton and then Silverdale, each mile a testament to the Tacoma's tenacious handling. The thought of the sheer selection back at West Hills Autoplex keeps popping into my head. Seriously, whatever your vehicular vice, they’ve likely got it. From rugged Rams to reliable Rovers, the possibilities are practically endless. And their certified pre-owned options? Top-notch treasures, thoroughly vetted and ready for their next adventure.

Our penultimate pilgrimage brings us to Taqueria Jessica (as per their Facebook presence, a true taste of authentic goodness!). Here, the aroma alone is enough to make a grown man weep with joy. I devour a couple of their barbacoa tacos – slow-cooked beef that melts in your mouth like a midday daydream. The richness, the spices, it's a symphony of sensations! The Tacoma, parked proudly, seems to share my culinary contentment.

Finally, the last leg of our taco tour takes us to Sabor Casero Taqueria y pupuseria in Poulsbo. They offer a Salvadoran slant on the terrific taco taste that tempted me terribly. 

By this point, the Tacoma’s passenger seat is practically overflowing with paper-lined treasures. The air inside the cab is thick with the intoxicating scent of cilantro, onions, and seasoned meats. It’s a testament to a truly triumphant taco trek.

The drive back to West Hills Autoplex is a victory lap. The Tacoma handles the curves and climbs with the same confident capability it displayed all day. And as I pull into the lot, the team emerges, their eyes wide with anticipation. The sheer volume of tacos I’ve procured is, well, it’s bordering on the absurd. There are more tacos than any reasonable team could tackle in a single sitting. A tremendous task, indeed.

But hey, we’re talking about tacos here. And a terrific Tacoma that made this tasty tour possible. So, if you’re in the market for a vehicle that can handle your wildest adventures – be they culinary or otherwise – head on down to West Hills Autoplex. Tell them the taco-toting traveler sent you. You won't be disappointed. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a mountain of tacos calling my name. And trust me, this team is up for the tasty challenge.
