It has recently come to my attention (thanks, Fred) that Los Angeles is going to impose a fine and possible jail time to our city’s beloved Taco Trucks.
Keep in mind that Taco Trucks are a staple of our cultural identity in Los Angeles — they are not only a cultural artifact, but a social haven for those who may to turn to being miscreants. They create pockets of incidental community on what would otherwise be abandoned streets.
As they are given the reputation of being “roach-coaches” for those of you with hoity-toity tastes in cuisine I realize you may not care. But then that means you don’t know authentic Los Angeles. Moreover, I have known Taco Truck vendors for years now, and I can reassure you that their offerings are not only delectable, and that they are willing to modify their items to be vegetarian (though in some cases not completely vegan), but they are completely sanitary. I’ve eaten at far worse and at a higher price.
If you’re reading this, please sign the taco petition and find a Taco Truck in your area to support them May 1st.
As stated by a nearby co-worker, “think of the taquitos”.
this is an outrage
Can’t wait for dinner tonight!
I would like to see the trucks stay on the streets but also be an example to the communities by going ‘green’, buying local,
maybe not organic — but recycle their oil for their fuel, etc
