Antojitos Mexicanos - Woodside - still around?
Are they still around because 2x in the last 2 visits they were not there under the train tracks.
I feel like they're being overshadowed now that a newer and bigger taco truck arrived like 1/2 a year ago?

You're talking about the tamale vendor that was at Roosevelt/61st, right? I have noticed that in the last couple weeks, they haven't been there, but in its place, there has been a larger cart selling tamales (not sure if it's the same people), and in addition, they are offering the usual street cart tacos, tortas, quesadillas, gorditas.

I've noticed that cart recently too, and it reminded me of the small tamale stand that is sometimes around on the weekends. I think it's the handwritten menu -- black marker on pinkish-orangish posterboard -- that strikes me as similar.
But, when I asked the woman if they had tamales she said no. I got a taco instead, and it was only so-so.-

saw that place set up this morning; all handwritten signs and looking kinda ramshackle; quesadillas for $3, tortas for $5, etc. and just a few meters away was a woman with a much simpler stand with just a huge single metal pot that looked like the typical tamale-only vendor.

I saw the old Antojitos Mexicanos tamale cart about a week ago. It was up a side street (62nd maybe) on the sidewalk with a 'for sale' sign! Was quite a scare at first, but hopefully the good tamaleros got a new one and are just waiting for the hot weather to end before going back out there. In past years I have notited that they take a break for a few weeks during the hottest months of summer anyhow.
