Photo Op: Hillary Votes King Taco
By Victor - Friday January 11th 2008
Crushing a taco at the Boyle Heights King Taco, Hillary erases any and all doubt that she’s one of the people. No word on whether the red salsa made her tear up.
Barack, the gauntlet’s been thrown down. When you swing through town, you better drop in on Cactus #1 or other Top 5 taco shack.

Nice. She looks a bit scared by the plate of escabeche. Check out this pic of her bad taco eating technique:

wow, I was in Burbank at the Empire Center (absolutely despising the parking lot, as usual) and I was about to pull into a prime spot near Sharky’s and Starbucks and these secret service type dudes were milling about, said I couldn’t park there, they were waiting for a car to come in. They had one black SUV with Maryland plates and when I came out of Starbucks another black SUV with Maryland plates was in the spot I wanted. Couldn’t see into Sharky’s to see who it was. This entry is fucking interesting to say the least. Any other politicians in town? Hillary on an all taco diet? Need answers.
Obama would straight up hit La Estrella.
she seems to lack confidence with the taco. could this be a campaign turning point? it recalls dukakis riding in that tank in 1988.
king taco has the best sopes in the world and better tacos then cactus.
Obama had better hit a truck in Boyle – no sit down joint with tables, you sit on the milk crate or walk…para llevar
I’m sure Mayor Tony gave her campaign the lowdown on what taco place to hit…and picked King Taco knowing it would be a non-controversial choice; respectably authentic, yet presentable and clean for the cameras.
It was either that or El Taurino, and the PETA folks would’ve been up in arms over that.
Obama lived in Chicago long enough to, presumably, get comfortable with buying things from trucks. Maybe he’ll hit El Chato (nee El Pecas #2). I think that’d be possibly the greatest thing ever in my life and I would probably kill myself knowing that nothing could get better.
What if Obama went to El Tepayec? Cesar Chavez would rise from his grave and endorse him.
La Estrella in Pasadena is OVER RATED. It’s for people who didn’t grow up in LA. Tercos with their “Estrella”. Antonio knew EXACTLY where to take her for that shameless photo op. They even went to the Super King Taco, that huge one. And in that picture, her taco is bathed in the Red Sauce…that is one crazy ass white woman, she must really want to win, cause that much Red Sauce could make you sterile. But…oh so tasty.
La Estrella in HP. There’s one in Pasadena?
La Estrella in HP. I like the one on Fig and 60th. There’s one in Pasadena?
Yes yes, but is she more pro Tapatio or pro Cholula??? I need more coverage on the issues here, people
[...] N.M.; Santa Fe Community College; gatherings in Los Angeles and Oakland. Maybe he’ll drop by a King Taco for good [...]
