Save Our Taco Trucks Event – Taco Libre! (Tonight!)
Posted by Cyrus Farivar on May 14, 2008
From our friends at SaveOurTacoTrucks.org:
Taco Lovers and Crusaders for Social Justice,
Mexican wrestling has its Rudos, the villainous luchadores who use dastardly tactics to win their matches. (Think of the old folding-chair routine when the referee isn’t looking.) In Los Angeles, we have the bureaucrats who hope to push through oppressive legislation without garnering attention who then plug their ears with their fingers when swamped with our collective outrage.
The County Board of Supervisors’ new ordinance that will effectively eliminate Taco Trucks in unincorporated Los Angeles County goes into effect at 12:00 AM on Thursday morning. Accordingly, we’re having a little get-together to celebrate this wheeled Angeleno culinary institution, while lamenting the myopic politicians who think they know what’s best for us. Meet us in East Los Angeles at Tacos El Galuzo at 5555 Whittier Blvd. between 8 PM and 12 AM. You’ll be supporting Juan Torres, a truck owner directly affected by the new law, and you’ll get to eat good cheap food while enjoying the company of like-minded people. Sr. Torres’ truck isn’t far from numerous other East LA mainstays, so plan an eastside odyssey and add us to your itinerary. Hurry, starting Thursday, purchasing a taco from one of these “peddlers” will be abetting a criminal!

I really think this is so unfair!!! I guess the big eatery’s are threaten that the taco truck food is better then there’s, I look forward to eat at a taco truck when I go towards The Valley and Los Angeles. I live in Palmdale,Ca, and we do not have to many out here.But, if we did I would be eating at one three times a week! And the fine they are putting is outrageous!! With gas prices and food prices and now this! SOOOOOOO UNFAIIR !!!
