[dropcap size=big]W[/dropcap]hen you mess with a trompo or its loyal trompero, you mess with all of us.
L.A. Taco condemns any kind of taco violence, especially when it involves a trompo or the trompero behind it. We stand with all taqueros of the world. We thought it goes without saying but after a video surfaced last week of a man using all of his might to knock down an al pastor trompo in Mexico’s City’s Tlalpan borough, here we are.
#LordTacos así fue como un hombre que dijo ser diputado llegó a una taquería insultando, argumentando que era dueño de la calle y que nadie se podía estacionar a los costados y enfrente, ocurrió en la calle Cansahcab en #Tlalpan. pic.twitter.com/ITXhO4R85Y

L.A. Taco was first notified of this senseless act of taco violence via its personal Mexican Taco Intelligence connects earlier in the week via an article on the news site, SDP. In the video, first shared by Facebook user Alfonso Reyes but then posted above by reporter Azucena Uresti on her Twitter account, a man of the “Godinez” variety in Mexico City (a term in Spanish used to describe a type of white-collar salaried worker that is moderately educated and usually identified for their overarching bellies, slicked-back hair, and buttoned-up shirts) is seen getting all up on the grill of a trompero who firmly stood his ground. The Godinez stumbles a little.
