Hello All- I'm Drew, one of the contributers to the tacotruckscolumbus.com blog and am also helping with organizing the Taco Truck Tour. Let me respond to a few of the questions/comments brought up here: As far as I can tell, these taco trucks are as legitimate as any other business - they're regulated to the same standards as any restaurant and are required to display their health inspection stickers (all of which were green!). We are not affiliated in any way with the owners of these trucks - this blog is the result of a research project done by one of our contributors for an OSU class on Latin American geography. In going through the research (much of which involved visiting the trucks) we came to believe that they have a unique and high-quality offering that is distinctly underappreciated (largely due to location). That pretty well explains the impetus behind the truck tour. It's simply providing an opportunity for people to get out there and see what these trucks have to offer. It's much more than tacos, btw, and we at least found it interesting to see the wide variety of different specialties and how they related to the origins of the different truck owners. The tour is structured in such a way as to hit trucks that provide a fairly wide range of unique offerings. If you'd like to know more, you can visit our blog which provides descriptions of the 17 (and counting...) different trucks currently operating in the area. http://tacotruckscolumbus.com/
