Lonchera Serves Commuters Stuck on 105 Freeway
[dropcap size=big]A[/dropcap] food truck caught in a gnarly standstill on the 105 after a fatal accident made the most patriotic of gestures imaginable in Los Angeles Friday morning when it opened up and served hungry commuters. Carlos Chavez, the truck’ owner, gave L.A. Taco an exclusive interview and said that his employees were en route to serve LAX workers inside terminal security when they – like hundreds of other motorists – ended up stuck in gridlock traffic. That’s when they made the ingenuous move to open up for business, serving mostly burritos to their fellow Angelenos. On this Taco Tuesday, we salute loncheras!
