"I learned that a crudely-named taco chain opened in the Fort Point section of the Seaport on Monday, October 7: the Las Vegas–founded, Los Angeles–headquartered Pink Taco is now open for brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night service, with diners able to order from the full food menu on Monday while alcoholic beverage service began October 8. Conceived by Harry Morton (son of Hard Rock founder Pete Morton), the restaurant will serve tacos and other items such as queso dip, street corn, tostadas, and burritos. The Pink Taco name has been controversial—Morton says it references a menu item rather than the slang term for female genitalia—but the opening drew further criticism when the restaurant sent a merchandise truck labeled “Gypsy,” a word that critics point out is a racist slur for Romani women." - Terrence Doyle
