Today's news! Check it out!

"Taco flouters"? Was that meant to be a bad pun on the flauta?
As for the final quote, "people say this is part of our culture. I don't recall any towns in Mexico having taco trucks"...Maybe not trucks, but this NPR story (Sept 07) features Oakland taco truck El Gordo and its owner Carlos Montero, who picked up his skills "when he was an apprentice at his father's taco cart in Mexico."

I think it was John Baeder who did some great paintings of taco trucks exhibited in LA a few years ago. Before taco trucks, he painted another American food institution, the diner.
