Marco Gutierrez, co-founder of Latinos for Trump, made headlines recently after “threatening” that if Republican nominee Donald Trump wasn’t elected president, there would be “taco trucks on every corner.” His statement unknowingly started a taco truck revolution....

It’s unclear how exactly taco trucks on every corner or Latino culture adding to the diversity of our country, a virtual melting pot of nationalities, are bad things.

Gutierrez clearly meant his taco truck warning to be ominous to white Christians, the same “culture” that so many conservatives think that it’s OK to try and impose on the rest of the country. I’m not sure he thought his idea through, though, because he obviously didn’t consider the fact that first and foremost, Americans love tacos.

In true internet hero form, social media has been talking about how amazing it would be to have taco trucks on every corner in America ever since Marco Gutierrez’s appearance on MSNBC. In Denver, Colorado, a city council member had called in a taco truck and had it set up shop right across the street from Trump’s campaign headquarters. Not only is the truck serving delicious tacos, it’s also registering voters for the 2016 presidential election.

We need one of these on every corner!

2. In NOLA there were actual taco trucks all over for about a year

During the rebuilding when there were few grocery stores or restaurants open, dozens of taco trucks roamed the city, and at one time the Times-Picayune newspaper did a two page spread on them with reviews. Upshot was they served good, inexpensive food in a wider variety of styles than you could find at fast food franchises. Ultimately, of course, the brick and mortar restaurants came back and lobbied hard for the taco trucks to be chased off by zoning and other regulatory hurdles they couldn't meet.

3. ??? How are they any different than the famed tamale carts?

I had a roommate who ran one of those at Carrollton and Claiborne, at the end of the St. Charles streetcar line.

4. They weren't carts, they were trucks

Some of them had actually been driven up from Mexico and Central America to take advantage of the opportunity. They were self-contained mobile restaurants with mini kitchen included, and they would work out routes to serve the various construction zones and open businesses as they appeared.

5. I just checked to see if I was still registered here in Illinois

since there was a break in (200k names were compromised) in our computer last week. Now all I need is my taco.
