Guerrilla Tacos Los Angeles Food Truck Bowl

in 5 collections

This is a bowl shaped like a food truck with a tiki behind the driving wheel. Fade glaze with darker blue at front and fading to white at rear of truck. Made for Guerrilla Tacos, Los Angeles, CA.

Back in 2012, Chef Wes Avila was between jobs and needed to pay rent so he decided he'd hit the streets and try his hand at making tacos for extra cash. With the help of his wife, Tanya, he set-up his cart in front coffee shops in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles for small services a few days a week. After a year of cart life, Wes was shut down by the city so he knew he had to go legit. This serendipitous event forced him to get a food truck but also helped to expand his offerings to more locations throughout Los Angeles. As the menu and locations grew, so did Guerrilla Tacos popularity. By 2015, the business had grown too big for one person to manage so Chef Wes took on a partner, Brittney Valles to handle the business operations. Guerrilla Tacos continued to expand and has now evolved from a food truck to a brick and mortar restaurant. The restaurant location opened in July 2018 just a few blocks away from the original spot Wes set up shop with his cart. The truck has been fully retired - Chef Wes never forgets where it all started, with $167 and a small taco cart.
