Thanks for the food truck link. I've been looking into this for a while and realized the start-up capital is not in hand at the moment, with the main obstacle being one of those hard-to-acquire licenses.
But oh, if I could get my hands on a license, what I would do to the sorry ass taco game in this city. First victim would be that fratboy operated poor excuse of a taco truck called Mexicali.
Would also love to do a cocktail truck but it involves so much illegality that would render the entire endeavour impractical.
WHY IS NO ONE COMMENTING ON THE VIDEO????????
