Last weekend, Austin's Chinatown Center and Red Velvet Events put on a two-day celebration to ring in the Lunar New Year. They had lion dancers (among others), Taiko drummers, musicians, a fashion show, special appearances from TxTag and the 2010 Census bureau, and Chi'lantro Korean BBQ tacos.

I had the tofu taco (pictured on right) and spicy fries. The tacos are both tasty and affordable at $2. Some bites were so spicy I felt like Florent eating habaneros.

Chi'lantro is a nomadic food truck, so it might not be where you left it last. Check out their schedule to see the week's locations.

I might be tempted to have one tonight. With Fries.
