[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]acos 1986 is riding a whirlwind. After blowing up as an overnight success the taqueria was suddenly shut down Tuesday by the landlord of the property it was using to pop-up each night, a reminder of the volatile market conditions for new food trucks in Los Angeles.
But by Wednesday morning, taquero Victor M. Delgado told L.A. Taco they are currently in negotiations to get the spot back.
“Last night, I had a conversation with a friend who happened to be close with him,” Delgado explained. “So [my friend] said he would approach [the landlord] this morning to try and get us a meeting, and explain that we are not bad people, or trying to take advantage of anything.”
There’s a perfectly good explanation, Delgado said, which is basically that they didn’t realize they needed permission from the property owner of the lot where the Confection Co-op coffee shop is located. “We dealt with the owner of the coffee shop and not the landlord," Delgado said. "So he wasn’t happy about that.”
