I disagree with the Sacramento City Council's decision to criminalize most mobile food vendors in the city, and agree that you'd like our taco trucks back, health-inspected & safe, where they can serve Sacramento residents.

Chris G

I, too, disagree with the Sacramento City Council's decision, and agree that you'd like our taco trucks back, health-inspected & safe.

Kris Felscher

While I am not a Sacramento County resident I strongly oppose the City Council's decision.

Fight crime, not food! I disagree with the council's decision regarding vendors.

Mark Teemer

I disagree with the Sacramento City Counils to criminalize mobile food vendors in the city.
Save our Taco Trucks.

While I don't believe this was done to get at immigrants (legal or otherwise), I do think it smells of one area of the food industry using their "donations" to put competition out of business. City Hall politics at it's worst. I strongly disagree with the council's decision.

Such regulations are not very far-sighted in a city that is booming with events like Second Saturday, which draw some of their character from the likes of the one-man-band in his van. The roach coaches are part of the character of what's fun about our city. In fact, in NY, they are taking it to a whole new level, and by golly, I want Sacramento to embrace the taco truck culture so we can have THIS!: http://www.nytimes.com....

I sure hope City Council looks into the future on this decision with some innovative vision. These trucks aren't just about cheap food. They're also a way for small business folks to "make it" with their culinary crafts. Save the taco trucks!

This is crap! SAVE THE TACO TRUCKS!

Wendy R.

Don't ban the lunch wagons and taco trucks!

Gil Silberman

Taco trucks are a staple of convenience food, add local character, and are a wonderful type of local entrepreneurial business for hardworking people to make something of themselves while contributing to the neighborhood. As an occasional visitor to Sacramento I'll definitely stop at a taco truck for a quick meal. If not I'll just eat what I have with me or wait until I get there. Banning an earnest, quality local business is really shooting yourself in the foot, culturally and economically.

Taco Trucks are your mobile Taqueria, and obviously the bricks-and-mortar mexican restaurants are feeling the pinch from these establishments.
I'm all for saving the trucks!

Dane Henas

Doesn't the Sacramento City Council have anything better to do? Shame on you! Consider this petition signed!!

g mitchell

City, please don't bar hard working people from making money delivering to the people some goddamn delicious food. Don't you think it's better to have one truck going to many people than many people driving and emitting a ton of NOx? Think of the environment! Save our Taco Trucks!

Ben

While not a Sacto resident, I am a big supporter of food trucks. Petition signed! Let em serve! To prohibit it would be unlawful!

Garrett

30 minutes is about how long it takes to set up and heat the grill. This regulation is outrageous and silly. No research was done for them to actually make these claims.

Luis L.

This makes no sense at all, this rule must go. If the rule don't fit, you must acquit!

Khan

When they came for the Tacos we were silent. No mas! Taco Rights, Now!

sylvia

my belly wants to carty all the time, carty all the time, carty all the tiiime!!!!

save the carts!

K Dawg

Cart discrimination is always the first sign of a class war that's tipping in the wrong direction. Viva las tacos!

Josh Nelson

I don't even know what to say. Are we going to outlaw catering next?

Melissa

I disagree with the Sacramento City Council's decision to criminalize most mobile food vendors in the city, and agree that you'd like our taco trucks back, health-inspected & safe, where they can serve Sacramento residents.
Another example of short-sighted politicians - could we focus and spend some time on more important issues - such as energy resources and crime?

Manda

I'm all for mobile food trucks. As long as they pass health inspections, they're fine and dandy. Those are some good eats! They add culinary diversity to the food scene. I live in San Francisco and I love going taco truck hopping to find the best of the best. I've known people who have hired taco trucks to "cater" their events.

Is the council going to ban other catering trucks too? The ones hawking sandwiches, snacks, and other items? Do you realize that for some industrial parts of cities, it's the most convenient, if not ONLY source of meals, especially during off-shifts.

Taco trucks deter me from visiting? The politicians, horrendous air quality, and the awful highways scare me more.

Sacramento City Council, find a more pressing issue instead of beating down immigrants trying to make a decent living. What a sorry attempt at veiled racism. Pathetic.

Phil Osborn

It was a pathetic decision to rob us Sacramentans of our beloved taco trucks. It robs us of the best cultural exchange possible: The sharing of great cheap food.

Carne asada is not a crime.

Miranda

Thank you for posting this! One thing I've really missed since moving to Sacramento from the San Joaquin valley are the taco trucks. I've never known anyone to get sick from eating taco truck food, and see no reason to punish people for ingenuity in avoiding the overhead of renting a building. Please get rid of this ridiculous legislation!
