When I first moved back to LA, one of the first things I would like to imagine I did was eat a taco from a taco truck. It was more likely that my face was inserted into a plate of Korean BBQ, but regardless. C discovered the BEST taco truck right near his new house in Eagle Rock. Mmmm carne asada tacos with salsa verde. With a cold can of Squirt. Eating on the porch while it's 70 degrees at 10 pm. Classic LA.

THEN I get this alarming email from my sister about some sick Los Angeles city council person type who wants to make taco trucks ILLEGAL. ILLEEEEEEEEGAL.

I would like to give a shout-out to that woman: F YOU

Taco trucks are one of the few cultural centerpieces of this supremely flawed city. We have no Spring and no public transportation system. Could we please at least have our taco trucks? While I was in Boston, I'd have to eat at this sadass Chipotle-type place called Anna's Taqueria where the guy didn't even know what carne asada was, and then flicked salsa into my eye (no, this really happened).

Anyway, I signed some petition trying to shut this lady up but apparently the law passed. So now when I get a taco from some guy trying to make a living by making me sublimely happy, I am doing something illegalish.

LAME.

I'm going to keep going to those taco trucks.

Why exactly do they not want delicious food rolling through towns? Do you have ice cream trucks out there?

how lame! at least the trucks are still there, for the time being. yes, it's sad that Anna's is what passes for Mexican food here. i didn't even like Mexican food that much when i lived in Texas, but now i crave it.

this does not even make sense. Who could ever be opposed to taco trucks?

but why?!? everyone knows the best food comes from trucks (or carts)!!! I think you should investigate this councilwoman for shady connections to bad fast food conglomerates. And then riot till the law is revoked.

OMG agree!! Also: this will affect the carts that sell the bags of fruit with lime and salt and chili. And won't someone please think of the bacon-wrapped hot dogs?!?!

it's a shame about those taco trucks. i'm going to as many as i can now before they are gone.

What?!?!

I've always been a little scared of the taco trucks, but that's never stopped me. Again, why is she doing this? Did like 50 people die from a taco truck disease? When I tell Philip about this, he's going to be super bummed out. Like you, he loves the taco truck. childhood memories, i dunno? I read above that this could possibly prevent dirty dogs from being sold in downtown. NOW I'M PISSED!

I love those mangos in a bag with chili and lime. LA needs more street food!

you can always come to seattle. the taco trucks here are plentiful, everyone speaks spanish and best of all, they're legal! plus we have public transportation and spring. we pretty much kick l.a.'s ass.

now if only we can get richard simmons to live here...
