Related: About this forumWonkette on the Taco Truck guy: DO NOT THREATEN US WITH A GOOD TIME, SIR.
We mean REAL tacos, the Mexico kind, sold out of a food truck, by Messicans, for usually a very good value! We have been informed, by a Trump surrogate named Marco Gutierrez, who happens to be the co-founder of Latinos For Trump, that if Trump loses we will have taco trucks on every corner. OMG WTF ORGASM HILLARY 4 PREZNIT OF TACOS
Because that would be AMAZING, would it not? Can you imagine being anywhere in America New Orleans, the hinterlands of Wyoming, wherever, BUMFUCK MONTANA WITH THE EDITRIX WHO IS SO HUNGRY FOR TACOS RIGHT NOW and craving good tacos, and immediately being able to satisfy that craving, because there is a taco truck on LITERALLY EVERY CORNER?
Now we know that, for some Trump supporters, that would be terrifying, because it implies non-white people owning businesses and being successful, and also existing. Also, real Mexican taco flavors are probably too spicy and fancy for those idiots, who think vienna sausages are gourmet delicacies.

Just take the drowned beef enchiladas and roll them into a giant flour tortilla. My shirt already has stains on it, so what the hell?

The food is delicious, authentic, fresh and freshly-made right there, the chefs are friendly and personable, the galley is clean, and the prices are unbeatable!

(12,448 posts)I can find nary a taco truck in DC and the suburbs. A couple of fairly good Mexican restaurants, and of course Taco Bell, which serves something that look like tacos, but don't quite make it. Tolerable with hot sauce, but I'd love to see some taco trucks!

(13,616 posts)The one thing everyone forgets is that restaurants are often the first real an immigrant group is doing well, because they own a business, and they can feed people who like the food, often the immigrants who get a job, then the anglos who like the food. In Tampa, a lot of ex college students started founding Kebab bars; now we have three Mid east fast food chains: Salem's, Pita's republic and Pita Pit, as well as many mom and pops, all of whom have customers who go to them while wearing their Lynrd Skynrd T shirts.
Of course, the flip side is that Food Network will try to gentrify these cuisines: If you hear Bobby Flay talk about Mexican cuisine, he is full of (censored) just as he is about my Puerto Rican one. Hey, the our new food truck overlords, can we throw in a few Caribbean or Chinese?
Last rant on food trucks from a former owner of one: They are the first to go into areas undeserved by restaurants. Downtown Tampa had nothign but Food trucks for a while because Tampa was too busy trying to figure out who to give downtown to. True enough, Tampa attracted enough to where, as of now, the Guinness record for most amount of Food trucks in one place was made Tampa. Of course, the restaurants complain, namely because the chains, and even many of the more successful locals, realize they cannot compete.
I welcome our Food Truck Overlords!
Just please have one of them serve a decent red beans and rice.
