[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]n behalf of the L.A. Taco Team, thank you readers and supporters for answering our membership drive! We were able to surpass our goal and reach 106 percent of new membership drive during the shortest month of the year.

Each of your contributors goes directly toward paying writers, editors, photographers, and contributors of every kind. So each of us truly appreciates the trust and support you’ve given us in such a short time since our relaunch. Thank you for spreading the word, too.

#TeamTaco member and supporter Memo a.k.a. El Tragon de Los Angeles shared this video with us of his experience at @guerrillatacos using the #LATaco member card. Like what you see, then sign up to become a member today! https://t.co/iCkIgzYIY6 pic.twitter.com/4YM9Op8gzN
