Restaurant name gets city’s panties in a wad

You can even vote on it.

Heaven forbid that FOUR people should e-mail the city and protest the hilarious name of a restaurant. It's a wonder why people even bother putting that kind of shit in a newspaper, or even on-line.

"EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! FOUR PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOR OFFENDED BY RESTAURANT'S NAME!"

I think these people should be more ashamed of some of the OTHER restaurants. Places like McDonald's and their ilk, who are just now, after how many years, FINALLY starting to offer a "healthy" alternative to the burger that gets nuked in a high-powered microwave.

The Las Vegas-based Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant...

Ah makes me Proud to Live in Sin City!!!!

Of course here they have a commercial where they zoom in
on a girls lips and she says " You want a Hummer?

and then they zoom out to a local Hum Vee dealership

and she shouts "Then come on down to Las Vegas' Largest Hum Vee Dealership!!

I agree. It's a bit much though it would probably go over their head but still I'd be embarrassed to drive by with family.

There are some really snooty people in Scottsdale.

I once met a woman who scoffed at the idea that her dog should take heartworm medicine. Heartworm is spread by mosquitos.

She declared in the most pompous way imaginable, "I live in Scottsdale. We don't have mosquitos!"

There aren't a lot of cases of heartworm in Arizona but there are mosquitos in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

So it surprises me that only 6 people have complained about the Pink Taco.

Hell yea- I'd eat their. Sounds like my kind of menu

I live and work about 5 minutes from this place and from what I've read and seen it's pretty much a non-issue.

Since the story got picked up by the wire some of the local news agencies dug a bit deeper and found out that the only letter that was signed and could be a traced back to a real person was sent by the mayor.

Also a pink taco is an actual food item, it might even predate the slang term it is so nefariously known for now. It's a taco with chicken, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

Pink Taco doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as Fish Taco, and I see that on menus everywhere!
