Sombrero Cart Pretending to Be a Vendy Award Nominee
A very astute Lunch’er Wade noticed this bit of fraud the other day on the Mexican cart with the sombrero parked on 50th btw. 6+7th: “This cart has a sign up that it was a 2005 Vendy Award ‘nominee’. It certainly wasn’t a finalist that year (or any other year). Does this simply mean someone (a relative with a different last name, perhaps) nominated the cart? It’s tolerable, but not Vendy-worthy.” Very curious indeed. A look at the list of nominees from 2005 shows that there is no way anybody associated with this cart (which serves sub-par your-mom’s-taco-night style Mexican food) was nominated for a Vendy Award. Does this mean there is a black market for Vendy Award nominee signs? Or maybe it fell off the Hallo Berlin Cart and this guy picked it up? Either way, I think I’ll be sticking with the Mexican cart on 60th and 3rd (who may actually one day be nominated for a Vendy Award.)

Zach, you have officially become the Bob Woodward of midtown lunching
Make room in your cubicle for the Vendy-gate pulitzer

He knows too much. If your car breaks down on the L.I.E, Zach, don’t stop…

Chucky must do their PR.

I don’t understand the hate spewed on this cart all the time. They’re nice people and the burritos aren’t bad at all. I understand the hatred of hard taco shells and nacho cheese, but for $6 for a huge burrito and a good chunk of rice and beans, I’ll take this place over the walk/subway trip all the way up to 60th and 3rd.

I went there once and will not be going back ever. I’d almost rather eat Crapotle than their food. Watery, bland as hell, and crap quality. crap crap cripity crap.

@ Rudy, “Bacon Waterfall”s my new wallpaper. Thank you.

THEY NEED A VENDY AWARD. Friendly, fast, and darn good food. The Taco “Salad” that has more chips and queso than I have ever eaten is unreal.
Stay away from the chicken and focus on the ground beef. To die for…which, you might, but well worth it for this mexican ecstasy. -
“mexican ecstasy”?! from THAT PLACE?!?!
ahahhahahahaahahahaa……
Boo!! another reason not to eat from this cart — the first being that their food’s not any good.
