Then it clicked in my head exactly what he really meant by a taco truck on every corner... He meant ONLY taco trucks and no others! Popos is still there, because they have some great authentic Mexican food... both my boys worked there as teen agers, but a Del Taco is now right beside it, where a gas station used to be. The Pizza Hut is now a Mexican Seafood place, Whataburger is now a Phoenix area Mexican chain called Filibertos and there is a El Pollo loco now across the street from Popos too. Also had a new Mexican grocery store come into this intersection to compete with Frys food. The other intersection, a mile north, McDonalds is still there, I mentioned the new pizza sports bar, The Abco supermarket that was in that same shopping center is now a El Rancho Market sort of a Mexican version of a Walmart grocery store (Great in store butcher shop and super prices, I love the store) The little Mexican taco shop burned, was rebuilt and been numerous things from sandwich shop, to China Bistro and I think Italian for a short stint too, burned a second time somewhere along the line... It is now a Mexican food place and next door, what was the KFC has been another taco shop chain called Juliobertos for years now, another favorite of ours, because of their salsa bar and they also have 99 cent tacos mon/tue/wed and we usually do them once every couple weeks since we can have dinner for under $5... Also a few carneceritas (little Mexican butcher shops) that have popped up all over... great place to get your carne asada if you want to make it at home... My only real complaint is the lack of variety close by home any more.

That particular Trump spokesman has had several days to clarify his message, but has not yet done it. At first listen, it sounds somewhat baffling. Why is he saying this would be a problem?

He should have phrased it better from the beginning. Maybe someone else in the Trump group can help this guy edit and sharpen his message. The media loves to feign ‘confusion’ when a conservative makes any sort of statement.

Yeah it could probably use some clarification...

I guess that is why I decided to post my epiphany for the day.

The Trump Team is probably so grateful to have any hispanic support, that they don’t spend a lot of energy coaching or correcting this guy.

“Just end every interview with an enthusiastic; “Vote Trump!” while pumping your fist and looking straight into the camera, and Mr. Trump will be satisfied.”

I know first hand of a lot (ALL) of the Legal Mexicans that (I know and can legally vote) are supporting Trump... just doing it silently and waiting for the ballot box, because of violence their fellow countrymen (that want to make America Mexico again) have threatened to bring to any Mexican Trump supporters they can find.

i actually fully understand the point, it’s actually a huge issue in South Central LA and I suspect many other places. The Mexican culture has a tendency toward the infiormal economy. In LA they actually ban a lot of this kind of thing, taco trucks, sidealk vendors, etc., because if you let them, they’ll put all of the legit establlishments out of business and you’re left with no tax base, no real sit down restaurants, just a bunch of taco trucks in parking lots.

I hate to mention it, but Maryvale is gang infested and the cops are currently chasing a serial killer there, too. Very high crime.

LOL, Damn MSM, this same friend is positive Sara Palin said that too, still to this day, even after I told him that quote came from Tina Fey on a SNL skit... and what Sara actually said was 100% true! He gets his news from the Arizona Republic and over the air tv news

My question would be....are these authentic Mexican taco trucks, or El Salvadorian taco trucks, or Columbia taco trucks, or Guatemalan taco trucks? Frankly, I’m tired of the fake Mexican taco trucks with three Peruvian illegals in the back running the operation. There needs to be some kind of ‘stamp of approval’ on all taco trucks....letting you know that it’s pure “Mexican” and not some fake.

Yes, you are 100% correct, for those following along, Maryvale is one of the worst areas in Phoenix... and yes “serial shooter” still on the loose. Not that it helps much, but we are in probably the best part of Maryvale being at west end and only 1/2 mile out of Glendale... Not too far from the Cardinals Stadium, but if I had to guess I would say we hear what we call “the ghetto bird” at least 4 out of 7 nights and many times its twice in a night, that is hearing it circling right over us, if we are just talking within a few square miles visible, I would say half a dozen times a night you could see them circling somewhere if you were outside watching for them. Strangely enough we rarely ever find out why.

We have never had any trouble here (knock on wood), though I hear gun shots very regularly... and many of my neighbors have... One across the street and down a few houses, on the corner has been broken into half a dozen times since we have lived here.

I credit it to #1 Primarily plus 3 other factors,
1) God has protected me and my family.
2) We have dogs that bark a lot at anything.
3) I don’t hide the fact I own guns.
4) I work from home and somebody is here most all the time, My wife is typically up early about 3 hours after I go to bed late...

when Trump gets elected, we will need all sorts of vehicles to deport folks, so taco trucks would be kind of ironic.

I love hearing about fellow Valley folks describe their experiences here. I too, love Mexican food.

Anyway, the good thing is when we talk of Trumps policies, we aren't talking about the folks who make up our communities, like our neighbors and friends.

And who knows, maybe Trump's reforms will open up Mexico for us again. I would LOVE to be able to go back and visit, but my wife, being Latina, will not go there as it is now. Her experiences as a child with drug cartels and socialist/narco gangsters are such that she won't chance running into them again in Mexico. It has gotten very bad down there from what we see and hear.

About 6-7 yrs ago we went back to S Fl. on a visit. The Delray, Ft. Lauderdale area.
Being born and raised in Miami I was looking forward to some Cuban cuisine.
Very difficult to find. Mexican everywhere but no Cuban.
Shocker.
