L.A. TACO has confirmed with an anonymous source that the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, led by Hilda Solis, has dropped over two dozen concrete K-rail barriers on the southeast corner of Atlantic and Pomona Boulevards in an attempt to deter the “Tacos La Güera” stand from setting up.
Each K-rail concrete barrier weighs over three tons and is estimated to cost around $500 to $1,000 of taxpayer money to drop. They were placed, as early as July, approximately where the popular streetside taco stand has been set up for the last five years on the public side of the sidewalk facing the parking lot for shuttered Pep Boys auto shop.
The anonymous source who came forward shared that the K-rails were a direct result of a complaint filed against the taqueros by Rudy’s L.A., a bar that is popular with off-duty Sheriff's Department deputies. The bar, located half a block away, dons a “Vote for Villanueva” banner.
