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.

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

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.

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.

Taco truck on every corner run by a Paki or Syrian muslim rapefugee, the chicanos having been relegated to secondary most favored victim status by the democrats’ hunger for new voter/social welfare dependency demographics.

The irony in Phoenix is that if you want serious eats that Mexicans want, it is not tacos, but Sonoran hot dogs.

With the fixings, those things will kill you dead. Yet the vendors will have lines half a block long. A large man should be able to handle about one a week, assuming he eats little else.

To start with, it is not on a hot dog bun, but a bolillo, which is Spanish for “French bread”. Much wider and when split acts as a bowl so can be stacked much higher.

The hot dog itself is wrapped in bacon. And then the toppings.

Grilled onions, raw onions, caramelized onions.
Jalapeño, serrano or habanero pepper salsa. Also fresh and pickled hot peppers.
Other salsas, especially verde (green).
Tomatoes. Pico de gallo. Shrimp ceviche.
Avocado slices or guacamole.
Beans, pinto or black, whole or refried. Or chili.
Mayonnaise (to explain, mayo is beloved in Mexico).
Mexican farmer’s cheese (several varieties of queso).
Mustard.
Lime juice.
Chopped garlic.
Cream sauce. Cottage cheese.
Mushrooms marinated in soy sauce.
Chopped cilantro (Mexicans use way too much).
Sauerkraut (I have only seen this at one place, though).
Crumbled potato chips.

It is mandatory that you have a grilled chili pepper on the side. Beer is a big plus.
