According to the website that you linked to they aren't shut down and the last two inspections yielded flawless results.

I'm not usually a sucker for cute kitten pictures, but damn that kitten's face is adorable.

So glad someone else thinks that truck fucking blows. Every time someone rhapsodizes about that shit I second-guess myself, but now I realize that I'm not going insane. I was just too sober when I ate there.

Keep on beating the drum.

Most overrated taco truck in the city.

Put Mr. Poe's talcum powdered nuts up against the snugglebuglet kitty-cat...which is softer?

do you like live behind this place? are you a disgruntled ex-employee of this place?
why are you so obsessed with it? or obsessed with being the center of a stupid blog controversy?
i never even considered eating at this place before, then because of all your weird bullshit you insist on writing about it i went out of curiosity, and had a great burrito! about as good as several places in white center, near where i live. nothing stellar, but pretty good! and definitely not cold, sloppy and tasteless. nor was it crawling with raw sewage. and i felt great afterwards. i returned a couple days later and had the quesadilla and a taco, and it was great, and i didnt get sick.

so what the fuck is going on with your personal issue with these people? there are LOTS of bad taco trucks in town, but you seem to only think this one is bad. which makes me totally doubt your judgement.

i mean....does anyone else think its weird that this guy keeps bringing this place up?

My guess is Taco Bell is feeling the heat and siccing the cops on them.

@9 I haven't been privileged enough to feel Mr. Poe's talcum powdered nuts so I'm going with the kitten.

And will someone please tell me what Bellevue Avenue meant by "San Francisco for the win?"

@10: I'm a little confused by his obsession myself. If Jonah is Ahab, then Rancho Bravo is his great white whale.

@12: They have good taco trucks, and Mexican food in general there. Unlike here.

The second Rancho Bravo buys an ad in the Stranger this will stop.

@16 Yes, but are they as soft as a fuzzy wuzzy little kitten witten?

To be fair, there's a sewagey whiff in the air in many many a place in Mexico proper.

Jonah, whatever slim credit you get for being right, you more than lose again for smug, sanctimonious tone and the gloating histrionics of all caps.

I've said it before: If you're that determined to warn the world about Rancho Bravo, write a review for The Stranger's Chow section. These repeated Slog smears are starting to feel like a low-frequency version of ECB's wounded obsession with Hilary's enemies and critics.

Um, it's pretty obvious that Jonah is not obsessed with the taco truck itself; he's obsessed with the unhinged commentary that mentioning it ignites.

I don't eat at Taco Vans. I like my burritos tainted in the sanctity of a normal kitchen, thank you very much.

I do, however, LOVE pictures of kittens rolled up in little towels and captioned as burritos.

Congrats, Jonah. Fnarf's explanation @20 makes the whole thing much classier. 9_9

@7 Oops, I must have had an earlier version of the page cached because all I saw was Seattle Pizza Kitchen on there until I hit refresh.

Jonah, so you'll admit to posting something only to elicit comments, not because you actually have anything of value to say?

You might as well drop posting anything after the title if that's the goal.

I had to eat Dick's last night since they were still closed. Sad panda.
