If you know of a specific truck - whether it is one you visit regularly, or just see it on your way to and from work - please list it in the comments below and I'll include it on the map.
A general location (i.e., a street intersection) is just as good as a specific address. Thanks!
As you probably know, Los Angeles County and the City of Sacramento recently passed regulation effectively shuttering the vast majority of stationary trucks despite extensive evidence from police and health authorities that the trucks weren't any more a threat to public health or safety than brick & mortar restaurants. In both counties, supervisors claimed to have talked to truck vendors, but surveys of truck owners showed that none had any idea that the county government was going to hold a vote or that regulations were even proposed - prior restraint of trade for sure!
If you are concerned about tasty, fresh and inexpensive food being made off-limits in these communities - and you should be, because anywhere restaurant owners feel threatened by their already-regulated but more competetive vendor competition this will eventually happen - please do make your voice heard.
This LA Times thread is a great place to tell folks what you think about the trucks, and I'm sure the Sacramento City Council (which voted unanimously to restrict trucks) would also appreciate hearing your opinion; even if you don't live in Sacramento, the opinions of tourists & other visitors counts too, especially when non-business-owning residents are ignored. And don't forget to sign the petition!
Most first-time visitors coming to Yum Tacos may have heard about us on NPR - so many thanks to you, and to Cyrus & NPR. And please do let us know where your favorite taco trucks are, so we can add them to the map! Thanks also to Karla Cook & The Food Times for picking up the story as well, and to the ingenious Goopymart for our new mascot.
