We never expected the site to get popular when we launched it two summers back, and every day has been a lot of fun for us. Through the site (which has been without contact info) and through our MySpace and Flickr accounts, we've met so many cool people-- artists, writers, photographers, activists, athletes, printers, publishers, authors, and many more passionate individuals from every walk of life.

The best thing about doing the site is the community we've started to form, and we want to open that up to all our readers and anyone else who understands this here taco lifestyle and loves Los Angeles.
