We all want to celebrate Mexico driving the French out of their country in the traditional fashion, eating tacos and drinking tequila. That said the terrible convergence of limited open restaurants, it falling on a Taco Tuesday, and corona virus social distancing turned Depot Town outside Maize into a shitshow the other night.
We drove down to grab our order at the estimated ready time, like usual, and found a hundred people clogging the street out front. Most were wearing masks and some were trying to maintain social distancing, but it was just too many people in too small of space.
Clearly something went awry with the staff’s ability to shut down ordering when they were overwhelmed. We did eventually get through on the phone and were told our order was delayed an hour and then another hour. Eventually we gave up.
My condolences to the workers. I didn’t get a taco, but that whole situation was a mess I could avoid. You were all stuck in it.
