Pink Taco Is Almost Ready to Open in Boston’s Seaport District | Eater Boston

"I noticed signage at the corner of Congress Street and Boston Wharf Road and the chain's website lists the address as 374 Congress St. (across from Row 34), where Pink Taco is described as “coming soon” with job listings and an estimated opening of “late November [2019].” The Vegas-founded, Los Angeles–headquartered taco chain (founded in 1999) already has locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago and plans to open in Miami. The menu promises tacos, queso dip, street corn, tostadas, burritos and $18 margaritas, which suggests more of the same for the Seaport. The restaurant has also attracted controversy: in 2006 Scottsdale’s mayor Mary Manross and concerned citizens criticized the name as a derogatory term for female genitalia (one critic urged to “let what plays in Vegas stay in Vegas”); the chain says the name comes from an eponymous menu item topped with pink-hued habanero pickled onions, so both the restaurant and its signature dish share that contentious name." - Terrence Doyle
