The Story Behind Dos Amores Taco Foodtruck

Hi, I’m Victoria van Aert — the heart behind Dos Amores Taco foodtruck. My love for food began in the vibrant streets of Zacatecas, Mexico, where I was born. Growing up, my family moved to the United States, giving me the chance to experience two cultures and their incredible cuisines. From a young age, I found myself most at home in the kitchen, surrounded by my family, learning to recreate the soulful flavors that remind me of home.

Fast forward to 2022. My family and I moved to ‘s-Hertogenbosch, a beautiful Dutch city full of charm, but I quickly realised something was missing — the taste of real Mexican food. Tacos, especially, just weren’t the same. I missed the bold spices, the freshly made tortillas, and the feeling of sharing a meal that truly brought people together.

That longing set me on a mission. I dove into researching recipes from my childhood, talked to local suppliers, and even made trips back to Mexico and the US to bring back authentic ingredients and methods. Some things just can’t be found in a store, so I started growing certain herbs and chillis at home, determined to get the flavours just right. Every step was a learning experience, bringing me closer to the tastes and traditions I hold dear.

By the summer of 2025, after much experimenting (and plenty of taste tests with family and friends!), I launched my first four taco recipes. Each one is a blend of nostalgia, tradition, and a sprinkle of something new — a celebration of my roots and my journey.

Dos Amores Taco foodtruck is more than just a place to grab a bite. It’s a little piece of Mexico, lovingly brought to the streets of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Whether you’re a fellow expat longing for home, a curious food lover, or someone discovering Mexican flavours for the first time, I invite you to join us. Come taste the tacos, share a story, and be part of the Dos Amores family. Buen provecho!
