[dropcap size=big]Is[/dropcap] fighting the blazing Getty Fire fueled by the strongest Santa Ana Winds since 2007 that has burned through 12 homes and 745 acres as of Wednesday morning an excuse to miss Taco Tuesday?
LeBron James thinks not.
More than 600 San Juan de Los Lagos-style shrimp tacos and a countless amount of tostadas piled with both fish and shrimp ceviche were served up yesterday at Jackie Robinson’s Stadium, confirms Raul Ortega of Mariscos Jalisco over a phone call with L.A. Taco. The multiple-time Taco Madness winner rose to the occasion of feeding L.A.’s bravest and most selfless with just a 15-hour notice yesterday.
“They’re out there fighting the fires and risking their lives to save other people’s property, how could I not?” Ortega shares with L.A. Taco. “The phone call came the night before at about 8:30 PM. It was a little tough because I had to call my employees who were supposed to rest to come back on and I had to prep the entire night but in the end, it was a great day.”
