Adios amigos! No more taco trucks in Jefferson Parish - Louisiana

“The Jefferson Parish City Council enacted an ordinance that placed a ban on those taco trucks or “temporary facilities” that sell food on curbsides and neutral grounds. “¿Por Que?” You ask. The council would have you believe the move promotes public safety and market equity. However, this unpalatable rationale makes me lose my appetite.

The new law restricts selling those hot, mouth-watering tacos to industrial parks and large commercial spaces - much too far away for my satisfaction. The law also requires the vehicles to provide at least one bathroom if the mobile eatery serves food in one space for more than 30 minutes. Thats as appealing as port-a-potties to the rear of tour buses.”
