President stops at Tacos 1986 during last week’s LA trip
By Dolores Quintana
During a short stop in Southern California last week, President Joe Biden stopped at a local taco shop in Westwood as reported by Eater Los Angeles.
This is the second time the President has stopped by a taco restaurant during a local trip. The first time was at King Taco number 10 with Mayor Eric Garcetti back when he was campaigning as reported by Eater Los Angeles. While last time Biden went to Pico and Alvarado on the city’s eastside, this time Biden stopped by Tacos 1986 in Westwood.
The President himself picked the order up himself, made in the name of mayoral candidate Karen Bass and was given a 50 percent discount by the cashier, who was likely the manager or owner. Biden then insisted on leaving $60 to cover the order of the next person in line and to give a $20 tip to the staff on the order. It is notable that Biden chose to make the stop in the company of the Democratic candidate Bass and not her opponent, Rick Caruso.
