No sé como saben pero hay buenos en San Bernardino. Ahora Van Morrison está cantando Frank Sinatra desde Nueva Orleans a Oaxaca. Globalización, es un mundo chico ¿no es cierto, guey? ( Asi hablan mis alumnos, (Je, Je.) Exraño LA pero el internet me salvó. Bye, El gabacho Oaxaqueño. Los tacos del ‘Taco Carnal’ se ven como los tacos al pastor de Huajuapan de Leon, Oaxaca.

Fine. This type of mobile catering truck fit those needs. Here is the rub. When these trucks started to roam the streets they have now created a business model for the city that is out of touch with what a brick and mortar restaurateur must contend with. The lower operating costs and the ability to intercept clients before they have a chance to support a traditional restaurant is simply unfair business practice. This law should be expanded and should apply to all parts of the city. Taco trucks are taking valuable business from those that have invested in their community and to have a mobile business operating in the vicinity of their business that has a higher overhead and no ability to move freely is at a disadvantage to a taco truck. This unfairly damages a business owner that has made a substantial investment when the taco truck is simply taking advantage of the lack of laws and low overhead simplicity. Personally I believe that all persons have a right to make a living but it should not be done in such a way that disadvantages a long standing business model that is properly placed. Taco trucks should continue to do what they where designed for, to take food to those that are not able to get it easily due to working or locational considerations. Parked on the side of a major city street causing traffic congestion and litter are only the obvious issues that taco trucks are causing. Community health is not a viable argument people found food in their communities long before these opportunistic taco trucks decided to cross over from mobile catering trucks serving workers to illegal mobile restaurants. This was a created market that is being developed at the expense of properly permitted and correctly placed business establishments. NO MORE TACO TRUCKS AS MOBILE RESTARAUNTS! THIS IS UNFAIR BUSINESS! PS: I am not in the food business, but rather another business owner in an unrelated field.
