While dozens of striking screenwriters and actors held the picket lines down outside of Paramount Pictures on Melrose Avenue on Tuesday morning in Hollywood, D's Tipsy Tacos held down the food line across the street.
In three hours, Ashton Flores, the South L.A.-based taquera behind D's Tipsy, passed out “roughly 100 plates” of tacos, burritos, rice, beans, nachos and quesadillas with her team.
“We have Philly cheesesteak [tacos], which is the main ones that everybody loves,” Flores said, walking L.A. TACO through the menu. “They love them all, but I think top tier is gonna be cheesesteak. You [also] got the jerk chicken, regular chicken, and ground beef.”
Each protein can be made into a taco, burrito, or quesadilla.
The food for this impromptu "taco Tuesday" was provided by Rainn Wilson, the actor, comedian, and podcast host arguably best-known for playing Dwight Schrute on the NBC sitcom The Office, among his many roles.
