Roadside Taco Stand, Nueva Rosita, Coahuila
December 2004
Two things about Mexico that I really enjoy are their dearth of homeowners' associations and the lack of attorneys running around making small business owners remove copyrighted material from their shingles.
Thus, it is a nation in which you can find houses everywhere painted in kelly green with Pepto Bismol
pink shutters, and such eateries as Speedy Gonzalez
Tamales and the Beavis y Butthead
Hamburguesas stand (at which I ate the best cheeseburger I had in years, by the way).
My favorite of all was this misspelled taco stand, named in honor of Jim Henson's enduring and engorging creation, Miss Piggy
. Unfortunately, these lunch wagons and snack bars are mostly closed during the winter, so I had to eat dinner up the road, at Foghorn Leghorn
's Pollo Frito.
