We just finished a late-night grocery run at the Walmart in Lawndale and spotted what, in our state of gnawing hunger, was a glorious red and yellow sign across the parking lot.
Del Taco.
It had been a long day, and my roommate Somesh and I were famished and exhausted. We trudged across the vast empty lot carrying our groceries in giddy anticipation of greasy food. The doors of the Del Taco were locked, but the lights were on and we spotted a worker in the drive-through window. We walked over to scan the lighted menu. I multiplied the prices by 80 to know the cost in rupees — the currency back home in Mumbai — and fixed on one chicken and one beef taco.
We marched up the asphalt drive and knocked on the window.
