The Burrito Files: May 2008

The Burritophiles pontificate about all things burrito.  

Save the Taco Trucks!

I'm a bit late to piling on to this cause, but...this is important to those of you who live in L.A. and love your burritos and tacos to come in convenient, wheeled kitchens. Some curmudgeons down there are trying to essentially legislate taco trucks out of existence. Some locals have started a campaign against this patently ridiculous legislation, and they've come up with the best slogan in the history of mankind:

Carne Asada Is Not A Crime.

If they come for the taco trucks, will the taquerias be next? Click and sign the petition!

Burritos on Public Transportation

posted by (5/03/2008 04:46:00 PM) #

It's pretty hard to take a burrito on most varieties of public transportation around here - food is banned on MUNI and BART, and you wouldn't want to eat much on either of those anyway, as your burrito would end up all over the place. Caltrain, however, allows food and drinks. I happened to be heading back up to the city this morning, I was hungry, and the new-ish La Bamba was right on the way to the train station.

I ordered my super al pastor, got it in three minutes, chucked it into my backpack, and made my train on time. The car was crowded - they were playing the Kentucky Derby at Bay Meadows, and Maker Faire is on - so I had to sit up top in a cramped seat. No matter - delicious pastor and liberal doses of guacamole make up for most problems. I'll be doing this again, oh yes.
