Who knew they had taco trucks in North Carolina?

Chapel Hill News:

On Jan. 17, the town issued a first letter of violation — a warning — to the three property owners letting the loncheras park outside their businesses.

The notice gave the vendors seven days to stop selling.

Loncheras have become popular across the Triangle as the Latino population has grown. In Raleigh, before a new policy tightened restrictions, many loncheras parked along downtown’s Fayetteville Street. Some visited construction sites during weekday lunch hours. A few sold food outside nightclubs, weekend soccer games and other spots. The new rules prohibit the taco trucks from becoming fixtures and have made them more sparse.

In Durham, mobile food vendors can park their trucks in the Central Business District, which is mostly downtown, and at construction sites.

After about 10 days, Carrboro’s taco trucks returned last week, assured they wouldn’t be fined until the town reviews the rules.
