A founder of the Latinos for Trump group on Thursday warned that without Donald Trump in the White House, there would be taco trucks on every corner in America.
My culture is a very dominant culture, the Mexican-born Marco Gutierrez said on MSNBCs All In With Chris Hayes. It is imposing and its causing problems. If you dont do something about it, youre going to have taco trucks on every corner.
Joy Reid, who was guest-hosting Hayes show, cut him off, saying, I dont even know what that means, and Im afraid to ask, before going to New York state Sen. Adriano Espaillat, a Dominican, for a reaction.
Im offended, Espaillat said.
Gutierrez defended himself, saying, We have a lot of good things that were bringing to the United States, but we also have problems.

(58,785 posts)One of the better ways to reconcile people to diversity has to be really good food brought right to them. As it is, I used to go a long way (back street of an industrial area in California) to my favorite truck for tamales.

(3,426 posts)A good tamale beats a taco anyday. Not too much masa, and some well seasoned stringy beef or chicken, with a really good sauce on top. YUMMM!
Of course I might be influenced by the fact that the last time I had a taco from Torchy's (Obama visited one here in Austin recently), it came complete with one of those stretch cloth pony tail bands in it, which I kept trying to chew before I finally spit it out and discovered that it was not just a tough piece of meat. I texted customer service with a picture attached but got no reply at all.

(58,785 posts)Our friend Maria always put an unpitted black olive -- unpitted important for flavor -- in her chicken tamales. If there were more than 2 of us here most of the time, I'd probably finally break down and make them myself. Even Maria, running 2 businesses but with 2 daughters to help, only made them for a couple parties a year.

(15,383 posts)Can be found at taco trucks - at least when I lived in Tulsa.
I lived in a pretty Hispanic neighborhood, and I saw people go from paying a fee to set up a taco truck in the parking lot of an auto parts store to owning their own restaurant. Those cats are the living embodiment of the American dream and should be commended.
Plus, TACOS, goddammit!

(8,964 posts)What a revelation, and all this time we'd been told that Latino immigrants are rapists, dope dealers, and murderers. It turns out that quite a few are actually honest and hard-working food venders. When Hillary wins, who do I talk to assure that my neighborhood is not overlooked as a taco truck location?

In order to operate a food truck you have to have a permit, be inspected, pay taxes etc. These are people working hard to make a living. More food trucks means more small business owners means a growing economy means...
well... in any case, F*ck that guy.
Imma go track down our local mexican food truck.

For a decent taco, I either have to drive 85 miles to Portland. Or make them at home.

(30,741 posts)There will be a long line of taco trucks in the parade. They will take orders from the people watching the parade, and hand out tacos as they pass.
YUM!!!
The marching bands better come before the taco trucks. The taco trucks will be a hard act to follow.

(53,339 posts)Coincidentally, Saturday night was 'Jimmy Buffet Night' at our local minor league baseball stadium. No Margaritas, sadly, but they always serve beer at the lower concourse concessions and in the stands there's a beer booth from a local craft brewer.
What we need is Margaritas in the taco trucks on every corner!
