Taco Alert! Teddy’s Red Tacos — Truck That Started on the Slauson Tracks — Is Appearing in a Super Bowl Ad

[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]eddy's Red Tacos is showing up in a Super Bowl ad on the Spanish language broadcast of the match-up between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. The ad is courtesy of ESPN Deportes, which wanted to highlight a small business owner this year instead of models or cars, owner Teddy Vasquez told L.A. Taco.

"It's a great honor," Vasquez said. "I would never imagine getting sponsored like that."

ESPN Deportes released this teaser announcing the ad:

Vasquez recently opened his third Teddy's Red Taco location in Venice. His original South Central location, a taco truck on the defunct Slauson Avenue train tracks, is featured in the commercial along with the taco truck and Vasquez in his favorite Rams jersey.
