The Las Vegas-based Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant is scheduled to open its second location in downtown Scottsdale in June. Nearly half a dozen people in the upscale city recently expressed their objection to the name, claiming it's a derogatory slang term for a portion of the female anatomy. In late April, the city received four e-mails, three of which bore no names, objecting to the restaurant's name. One of those e-mails stated: "The City of Scottsdale has a very fine reputation around the world. Let's keep the standards high. Let's let what plays in Vegas stay in Vegas." Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross has said she is offended by the name and went so far as to ask the owner to change it, although he refused. Restaurant spokeswoman Lisa Perez said the company's name comes from one of its menu items. Perez said the company has not received any complaints or objections about its name. The original Pink Taco is inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Scottsdale City Council is scheduled to decide Monday whether to recommend the restaurant get a liquor license. If granted, the restaurant's application would then be sent to the state liquor board for review.

Mmmmmmm... who doesn't like to get some pink taco to go?

I wonder if they have a special on fish tacos at the end of the day?

Well, i think that claim is stupid. There is an antique store here in my town with a red rooster on the sign, the name is The red c0ck. No complaints from the locals ever since it opened up years ago.

Fish tacos are teh roxor, there is a 24hr mexican food place here in town and has awesome fish tacos for $1.55 each, soooooo damn good.

For some reason, this reminds me of the South Park Episode where Cartman paints Jennifer Lopez on his hand and makes her sing about tacos
