Tonayense Troubles?

Our new favorite taco-truck defense blog, Burrito Justice, calls our attention to an Eater SF post we somehow missed: the heat at the Tonayense truck at 20th and Harrison is coming not just from the grill, but also from a parent's group concerned about the truck's proximity to John O'Connell High School of Technology. Apparently, the truck threatens the health of the students.

Although the judicial system has stepped in to help the beleaguered taco trucks of Los Angeles County, who will stand up for El Toñayense when the "wellness" of children is supposedly on the line? To us, this just seems like Footloose all over again: a small-minded crusade against exuberance and joy.

SFWeekly's Meredith Brody recently had this to say about our favorite taco truck: "There are no better tacos, burritos, tortas, and quesadillas available anywhere in the Mission than those served up at one of El Tonayense's three immaculate trucks strung out along Harrison like the pearls they are."

What high school cafeteria can compete with that?
