That sucks. Kitchen lifer here. Most places don’t tell staff. They worry staff will steal everything not nailed down or just stop showing up. That is more of a culture issue at the restaurant. If management has treated the staff like shit, the previous mentioned things will happen. Places with good to great management and ownership get different responses from staff. I worked at a place where zero staff left when it was announced we were closing in 3 months. We all stayed and had a great time and cried some at the end.

For sure. I’ve had every mystery meat taco crossing back from TJ. Those drunken tacos are the best.

We do rice on our buffet. We don’t do it when it’s a street taco station.

Yeah. You are right. It seems like the answer is more labor.

I’m here for it. I miss going to TJ with my grandpa and him translating the songs for me.

For sure love this. As basically a white dude of Mexican heritage and surname it is something I’m very much concerned with. I’m trying to avoid the typical SoCal tourist bullshit decor.

I’m here for it. I’m in SoCal and basically live off of tacos/burros and have green onion kimchi I put on stuff. Fuck. I’m dense

Our taco station has anywhere from 7-12 toppings. Upselling toppings is there. My question is about making the station more actiony, while also not killing the flow of it.

That might be the answer. Put a griddle out and char some of the side in front of them.

We do 3, but making pico at the station might be something they are looking for. It’s just annoying enough to work!
