A longtime fixture in the Downtown Container Park, Pinches Tacos, has closed after 12 years of operation.<\/p>\n

Pinches Tacos had pretty good tacos, but it was more about the incredible name.<\/p>\n

The “official” reasons for closing are awkward, so you know damned well we’re going to get into it.<\/p>\n

Like all the businesses in the Downtown Container Park, Pinches Tacos was in (wait for it) shipping containers.<\/p>\n

Pinches Tacos was one of our go-to lunch spots when we worked at Fremont Street Experience.<\/p>\n

Staff was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food was solid<\/a>, especially the Mexican street corn. Which, in Mexico, is just “corn.”<\/p>\n

There was also Mexican Coke. Which, in Mexico, well, you get the idea.<\/p>\n

Nobody’s talking about Pinches Tacos. Poor Pinches Tacos. Bonus: Mexican Coke. @DTContainerPark<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/omjuiGKv8T<\/a><\/p>\n
