Seeing strings of light bulbs under a tent as people exchange chit-chat and tacos may very well be a shared experience in Los Angeles, but in cities like Glendale, taco stands still remain a rarity.
But this past Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, Cesar Perez and Roselia Francisco decided to open their second Mexitacos stand, bringing their lights to the corner of Glenoaks and Brand Boulevards outside the Trader Joe's.
It was a welcome sight for many locals looking for a good street taco in the area. But not for one man, who claimed in a recorded video that he "work[ed] for the government" as "a police informant" while harassing the stand's owners.
In a video posted to Edin Alex Enamorado's TikTok, the self-proclaimed police informant can be seen antagonizing the women working and standing in line on at least three separate occasions.
