May 14, 2008 Los Angeles in a stew over taco trucks
Los Angeles - Swarmed around Leo's Taco truck on Eagle Rock
Boulevard, about 50 night patrons are stuffing their cheeks with carne
asada tacos – and chewing over one of this city's big controversies:
taco trucks.
"Why
should a taco vendor be able to park in front of someone else's
restaurant and steal his customers away with cheaper food?" asks one
man, spearing pinto beans on a paper plate with a plastic fork.
"But making them move every hour is a bad idea," says another as he
orders a veggie burrito. "How can a truck vendor keep loyal customers
if he has to move so often?"
