Yuppies Tighen Noose on Taco Stands
Is the city attempting to shut down late Night taco stands?? It sure appears that way. Culture Wars? gentrification? Yuppies on the East-Side? Wrap it all in a corn tortilla…
Everybody- Please support the great taco stands around East Austin. Specifically seek out the stand run by AVATACO President Apolinar “Polo” Cadena. It’s called “Taqueria el Rey Polo”, parked just north of the HEB on Riverside. These affordable yet tasty taco stands are under attack by taco-hating terrorists. Support them by eating more of their tacos. every taco helps. this is not a joke.
