Taqueria Jalisco

[MadeFromDust]

So many of these places have been popping up in recent years. First it was tire shops, then it was taco trucks. And a lot of that was California style mexican tacos, kind of foreign to Texas. Now it's these restaurants springing up left and right, and sometimes right next door to each other! At the same time! Due to this rapid change in my area it got me wondering...hmmmmm

Could it be that the cartels are moving in and buying up all these abandoned restaurants and buildings? I heard it's like $45,000 to $65,000 a pop just to get the kitchen up to code, much more everything else. Ain't no poor ass Mexicans doing this. And they're doing this with cash money too, no receipts required. And when they open they got these fine ass young beautiful Mexican waitresses working, not no mediocre senoritas. These are the real thing, Mexican, not Chicano or Tex-mex, the real deal non-English speaking Mexican chicas.

So now I'm wondering what the hell is the big plan? Is this how they gonna try to bring the Mexican drug trade and all that entails into the U.S.? Laundering all that money into these tire shops, tacos trucks, mexican restaurants, and even barber shops? A lot of unlicensed barbers popping up left and right too. And is this how they begin chipping away at the integrity of local governments, one inspector and bribe at a time, until we got full-scale government corruption?

Things that make you go hmmmmm :hammerhead:

We got Aresnio's and Albertito's here.

I was just there and flipped the salsa table all over the dining area. They f'ed up on my order and wouldn't make me a new burrito.

Do you seriously not understand that the Mexican Drug Trade is the US Drug Trade and has been for nearly 20 years?

The reason Chicago (http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2013/Sinaloa-Cartel/) has been having such gang violence is it's the number 1 city for heroin shipments, number 2 for marijuana, number 2 for cocaine and number 5 for meth. No other US city is top 5 in all four categories. This is because it's perfectly situated for the Sinaloa cartel to use as a base to distribute throughout the US.

Chicago's interstate highways are perfect for them.

A good portion of the workforce among the various trades are Hispanic, are you also suggesting construction, janitorial, and other labor intensive industries are funded by cartels? Yes, fronts do exist but not every taco shop has cartel backing. There's plenty of reputable Mexican restaurants in Phoenix that only accept cash -whether it's bc they employ illegals or simply don't want to deal with the hassle of point of sale computers and credit card pay systems are more likely scenarios than cartel associated restaurants.

You missed my whole point. These are springing up left and right at an extremely rapid rate in the last 5 yrs or so. And I'm not even talking about how they take payment. I'm talking about the expense of converting a building into a restaurant, and specifically the cost of installing even a small kitchen. Paid in cash. All the Mexicans I grew up with around here are poor as fkk. There's no way they would be able to front that kind of cash to start a restaurant, much less a 100. And being po you not gonna get no small business loan to front it with no guarantee of success...too risky. Hence, this has GOT to be some kind of cartel-backed movement. The Mexicans in these restaurants are not like the hispanics I'm familiar with growing up and over the years. First there was the Cali-mex influx now it's real live young cartel operatives de Mexico!

Ummm, I'm not in Chicago and don't think this is a Sinaloa cartel area, but I could be wrong. :confusedshrug:

BTW, that article, if you had actually read it, says there is no correlation between the cartel activity and the local gang violence in Chicago. Good going there, KYJelly :oldlol:

I don't really much care about the drug business and logistics sides of things, as it pertains to this topic. All I am wondering is...is this how it starts? The wholesale government corruption and rampant violence that plagues Mexico, turning it into a shiite country to live in? Are these the beginnings of a big plan by the cartels to turn my area into a mexican shiith0l?

First they sneak into the country illegally. Then they buy up a bunch of property and businesses to give themselves a cover and laundering operation. Then they illegally smuggle drugs across the border and thus sneak their drug business in. Next thing you know cartel bosses are running the town and people. Anyone who opposes gets their heads chopped off and bodies hung up next to a highway billboard. Can't go to the police any more because they're bought. The courts are in their back pocket. Is that where my hood is headed? If so I'd like to know now and I will prepare myself accordingly. :rant :banghead:

I wasn't saying you're in Chicago (since you already pointed out you're from Texas), just pointing out that the US drug trade is the same thing as the Mexican drug trade, it's just different levels. Street level Chicago gangs are selling product that originated in Mexico or in the case of cocaine was imported via Mexico. You were wondering if Mexican drug cartels are coming to America, but they have been here for decades. So nothing is going to change. None of the shit you are afraid of is going to happen. Why? The cartels are smart enough to have different codes of conduct for Mexico and the US. It would be bad for business. There's a ton of violence on the southern border? Why? Because a ton of cocaine is not worth as much in Juarez as it is in El Paso, so control of that sliver of turf near the border is valuable.

There's tons of articles (https://www.google.com/search?q=cartel+gang+violence&oq=cartel+gang+violence&aqs=chrome..69i57.4471j0j1&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=cartel+gang+violence+chicago)about cartel activity fueling gang activity in Chicago.
There's way more turf battles, because turf is more valuable in Chicago's drug streets because it's the distribution point throughout the US.

I think it's like that all over the southwest. I'm sorta curious too because when I see all these pollitos getting popped by La Migra on TV, all I see are these 4'10 squat, flat faced, pancake tyttied women getting busted not these gorgeous Latinas working at restaurants and such. They can't speak a word of English so you know they haven't been here long. I mean I guess it's possible they came here legally...

so your suspicion is based on the sudden market growth of mexican food restaurants in the southwest? You know, the region of america closest to mexico and where a huge portion of the populace is of hispanic origin. Most white people i know (regardless if they like hispanics or not) LOVE Mexican food. There is no steakhouse, pub, american food, chinese food, whatever other food restaurant that is more packed than the top mexican restaurants in phoenix.

One example, there's a local restaurant that sells $10 chimichangas (no rice, beans, or drink included). Yet, it's ALWAYS packed with people, the line extends outside the door.

It's the fcking southwest, there's a market for mexican food. And do you have solid evidence that all these restaurants are being funded by mexicans? Just because there's mexican waitresses doesn't mean the funds are from a mexican...plenty of white people employ mexicans. Also, mexicans have families that are larger than your entire ancestry, it is quite possible that they pitched in money as a family to fund the restaurant.

GOD forbid that there are actual wealthy mexicans as well. I know plenty of mexicans that own their own business and are well off.

We've always been close to Mexico, always been around hispanics of Mexican decent, always had plenty of good Mexican restaurants and some of the more typical ones including fast-food and chains like taco cabana, las palapas, taco bell, momma margies, etc.

What is new and foreign are these brand new nameless taqueria jaliscos popping up everywhere. A place goes out of business, and the building is vacant for only like 1 month. Next thing you know it's getting painted yellow or lime green or orange with a generic "taqueria jalisco" sign and BAM instant daily crowd wtf?

And before that started, there were dozens of these generic taco stands setting up shop nightly right down the street from the establishments, and getting more business too! I always wondered how the various chambers of commerce allowed that to go on without sicking the police on them. First of all they don't own the properties they set up on. Second I doubt they go through all the process of bringing their kitchens up to code, getting certified and inspected like restaurants do. How don't the restaurant owners band together to get them kicked out? Must be some corruption and bribes going on behind the scene, and with that intimidation from the cartels.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Best Mexican joint in Phoenix, bar none, is Federico's on Indian School/23rd
