Orange County environmental health workers shut down at least five street vendors in Fullerton last night. They forced at least one taco stand to throw away food and confiscated their kitchen equipment. "They just said I had to go through the right channels and I had to get the right permits," said street vendor Peter Quezada."I did try that, you know, I spent two years."
Most vendors cannot afford to buy a food truck. Fullerton's Mayor Fred Jung responded to these claims by saying that street vendors only need to obtain two permits: one from the city and one from the county's health department. He said information and instructional videos have been posted to a dedicated website for street vendors.
