After passing anti-taco truck legislation last night, the Board of Supervisors must now contend with mobile Taqueros who say they'll resist the new ordinance. The Los Angeles Times has the following quotes in today's edition:
They can try to move us, but we're not going to go," said Aleida De La Cruz, whose taco truck has been a family business for 20 years. "What are they going to do, take us all to jail?"
"I don't think it's a crime to sell tacos for a cheaper price than the established business," truck owner Eugenio Sanchez told supervisors. "And the people are happy to see us because they say, 'Finally, we have someone selling tacos.' "
There must be a reasonable balance between restaurants and taco trucks. We, the taco consumers are caught in the crossfire of this pointless war, and we call on the parties at hand to save the taco trucks! Sure, it's no good when a mobile Taquero shows up right outside a taco shop, but there must be a better way to regulate things than this draconian measure, causing popular trucks to move every hour, wasting gasoline, hurting the environment and contributing to traffic problems. We call on the county leaders to think about the war they've started and to immediately seek a better solution.
