I wish there was a taco truck that drove around neighbourhoods, making stops in residential areas, while playing Mexican music. Like ice cream trucks.
I eat more tacos than ice cream.
🌮🌮🌮
@PhoenixSerenity I love this and it would probably lead a to a sprained ankle eventually... but so many tacos along the way.
@baconandcoconut @PhoenixSerenity with all the little kids running after it signing the taco song.

@PhoenixSerenity Once the song embeds itself in your head as "tacos are coming" there's no escaping your fate.

Tacos and an ace bandage.

@baconandcoconut I can't run so there will be some negotiations with nearby kids/teens neighbours to chase down the future taco truck for me. I could pay them in tacos or burritos. Planning ahead šŸŒ®šŸ‘šŸŒ®
@PhoenixSerenity I want one in #Philly!!!
@Chrisblue I hope you get one in Philly & we get one for Saanich!

@PhoenixSerenity is this why Melbourne has been high on the liveable city rankings for a while?

@Thegriffyn I am incredibly envious 🌮🌮🌮🌮
@PhoenixSerenity @Thegriffyn me too, I would love having a taco truck come by on a regular basis.
@Darkphoenix @Thegriffyn We need some Aussie sponsorship to go review their taco trucks, down under.
@PhoenixSerenity we were promised taco trucks on every corner if the Democrats win, so I’m still waiting for that

@PhoenixSerenity

We have this in LA but for tamales, mostly on weekends. Not music but a squeeze horn, at least in my neighborhood. Champurrado too! Also elotes y esquites every afternoon from a lady on a bike cart.

@AdrianRiskin I like tamales too!

@PhoenixSerenity

I forgot to mention that the ice cream trucks here sell nachos and tostilocos also.

@AdrianRiskin @PhoenixSerenity lol yeah was about to say I’ve chased a few taco trucks in my neighborhood in SoCal many times.

@PhoenixSerenity

Well, we don't have many taco trucks here, but you'll find no lack of tacos from Austin to San Antonio and points south in Texas. It's one of the few positives living in Texas.

@cosmiclibrarian We have quite a few taco places here now because of wonderful increase in South American immigrants population 😊 It's just that most aren't near us at all. I would love a taco truck around here that goes to neighbourhoods - hitting up a different municipality every week.
Here, almost every municipality is 10-30 minutes drive apart. It would be super cool if it was an EV powered, roving taco truck šŸ˜€šŸŒ®šŸŒ®šŸ‘šŸŒ®šŸŒ®
@PhoenixSerenity I’d like a cheese and crackers truck.
@WideEyedCurious We can all hope & dream for fave, roving food trucks 😁

@PhoenixSerenity I also wish that taco trucks would replace those nasty ice cream trucks.

I hate to hear the ice cream music, the truck plays when driving through my neighborhood.

@rlstone4dems There's room for both here. The kids really love the ice cream truck & so does my Mom. She runs after it, in Summer šŸ¦šŸƒā€ā™€ļø
@PhoenixSerenity Yeah, I guess it’s a ā€œme thing.ā€ I guess those that wait anxiously for the ice cream truck to arrive, love to hear the ice cream truck music… It has been a while since I even ate ice cream…
@rlstone4dems I have it on occasion because I'm lactose intolerant. I usually enjoy fruit popsicles instead šŸ™‚

@rlstone4dems @PhoenixSerenity

It's not just you. I loathe ice cream trucks.

@rlstone4dems The ice cream is fine, even if I didn't have the money for it. But the music was always horrendously out of tune, very loud and piercing. Puts me off eating, honestly. @PhoenixSerenity
@gnate @PhoenixSerenity Likewise, gnate! I don't know, maybe my dislike for ice-cream, stems from seeing some horror movie that depicted ice cream trucks in a very bad way.

@rlstone4dems
Traumatized by IT - the clown.

@gnate

@PhoenixSerenity @gnate IT the clown, was scary!

@rlstone4dems @PhoenixSerenity

I would watch that movie! Do we get to pick the director? Maybe it's in the Evil Dead universe...

@gnate @rlstone4dems It's the Stephen King based book movie. There was a TV series too. It freaked me out, as a kid.

@PhoenixSerenity @rlstone4dems

I'm familiar with 'IT', but haven't seen it. Doe include ice cream trucks?

@gnate @rlstone4dems I can't remember but remember posters advertising it & one was IT lurking behind an ice cream truck.

There is also this more recent movie:

Eli Roth’s ā€˜Ice Cream Man’ Sets Summer Theatrical Release Through Iconic Events

Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man' will be opening in theaters on Aug. 7.

Deadline

@PhoenixSerenity @rlstone4dems

That does ring a bell, now that you mention it. šŸ”” šŸ˜€

And this is why I asked about choice in directors! I'm not really a horror movie guy, so I wouldn't watch an Eli Roth movie, but I would for Jim Jarmusch, Simon Pegg, or Sam Raimi.

@PhoenixSerenity I would be out there with my $5 every afternoon.

@PhoenixSerenity

Driving through the white suburbs blaring reggaeton and not stopping for anyone. 

@angiebaby šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… Eating tacos & saying, none for you - all for me 🌮🌮🌮
@PhoenixSerenity Same here. I miss Brooklyn so much!
@lydialurch I'd love to visit NYC, when US isn't run by fascists!
@PhoenixSerenity I hope that day comes very soon. At least they have a great mayor for a change. šŸ¤ž
@PhoenixSerenity it's gotta be either really awesome Ranchero or Banda or Kumbia music too.
@PhoenixSerenity and also, you have to be able to get the taco how you want it. street, regular, chicken, beef, Carnitas... slammin mobile tacos hard shell soft shell, both shell, what ever toping you want. This is not generic taco doot.
@PhoenixSerenity hell if you really? want 'em you can get vegan tacos.
@dodecahedron I like all types of tacos 🌮
@PhoenixSerenity I prefer them with no lettuce or tomatoes, but sour cream, salsa, preferably ground, not shredded beef, and a more burrito style, than a traditional taco style, but that's just me, and my autism :)
@dodecahedron I like to load mine up!
@PhoenixSerenity oh I"ll load it up, with plenty of all that, but oh, I forgot guac I like guac sometimes too. I love salsa too, I just really don't prefer regular tomatoes or lettuce.
@dodecahedron I usually use my own lettuce & tomatoes - when it is harvest season. I make my own salsa & guacamole too 😊
@PhoenixSerenity I'd try it. is it whimpy salsa? or aaaaah yeeeeah salsa? :P
@dodecahedron It's fresh & fierce salsa! I make both red & green & also a mango based one!
@PhoenixSerenity sign me up!
@dodecahedron Get in line! šŸ˜…šŸ‘
@PhoenixSerenity I'll bring other green things if you're into that :)
