Following 60 Trips to City Hall for Permits, the First Legal Food Truck is Now Operating in Detroit



DETROIT (July 17, 2011) -- "Today marks the first day that hungry Detroiters will be able to order lunch from a legal food truck in downtown Detroit. El Guapo Fresh Mexican Grill, downtown's first fully sanctioned food truck, will be stationed at 301 Monroe St. at Randolph, serving tacos, burritos and several kinds of salsas.

While other food truck operators in downtown Detroit have set up shop without permits, Anthony Curis and Doug Runyon, co-owners of El Guapo, made dozens of trips to City Hall to find a path to legality. Curis said he visited City Hall about 60 times over the past six months, working closely with Kim James, director of the Buildings, Safety, Engineering and Environmental Department, to secure a locale to operate legally."
