El taco Llama calls it quits?

IMG_0485d

I got a phone call from my friend and taco fanatic Kiwi Simmons. She was upset because a friend of hers said that the El Taco Llama on Magnolia in North Hollywood had closed down. Now not being one to take news from second hand sources I decided to do some taco hunting in the valley to lay rest to this rumor. Well shit..El Taco Llama was locked up at 7pm. Not just locked up but bolted down like GITMO.So yeah this El Taco Llama has either changed their hours or they have decided to quit the taco community.
There are other El Taco Llama's but this was my favorite.

In other news...



One of my favorite sites Polar Inertia has a taco truck t-shirt. Polar Inertia is a photography and urban design site that has loads of information on LA taco trucks and LA food stands.

Oh and Sign the save taco truck petition!

    I found El Taco Llama only recently, because of this blog, and my wife did just get a job on Magnolia, I've been twice only, but was looking forward to so many more al pastors......!

  7. I think the Magnolia ETL generally closes early, because it is within the car wash. In a pinch at night, you can always go to the Sherman Way ETL (just east of Lankersheim) or settle for Casita down Magnolia.

  8. I've been told by people on Chowhound that Casita is good. Bandini?

  9. Bandini,
    if it ain't closed, then you have to post a new blog chapter on that. You could hurt their business, I think a lot of people are following you to many new taco places, and if they read that this one is no more...that would be bad for El Taco Llama. No llamas, but maybe in the end no more Taco Llamas either.
