I know I have a one-track mind; I should just give into temptation and get my Mexican fix at the new Chipotle already.  But the past few months, this sign at the park at the Place de la Republique in Montreuil always stops me in my tracks.  Before hopping on line 9 in search of carnitas, let me just warn you that this sign is situated in the parking lot at an isolate end of the park.  Just like GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS, any word repeated three times is a promise.  But no tacos are to be seen!  Is this a cultural misunderstanding or false advertising?  I will buy a taco for the first person who can put this mystery to rest. But that all depends on what taco means first.
