Only In Texas Are Tacos THIS, Vitally Important
Why they didn't launch this new taco source in El Paso is beyond me. If and when we do get these "ATM's" though, I'll bet finding one that isn't out of stock will be a daily struggle.
Finally, an ATM that won't let me down. There's usually a moment of suspense and a silent prayer after I insert my debit card and type in an amount. Will I get the cash or an insufficient funds alert? Will it seize my card? It's stressful.
Not with this one though. ATM has nothing to do with "automatic tellers" here, it stands for Automatic Taco Machine and it means no more worrying about what time it is or whether your taco go-to is open or not.

You can drop some money into a coke machine and get a coke anytime, day or night. Ditto for chips and candy bars and all kinds of other things including, believe it or not, flowers, t-shirts and contraceptives. Really.
At one point, during the COVID 19 pandemic, machines were even dispensing masks but THIS is the best use for this technology yet.
"You walk up to it, it's very user friendly, you just place your order," Bragdon said. "Just like an ATM spits out the money, this thing spits out tacos."
The menu, which is made out of a commercial kitchen, includes chicken, pork, or steak tacos on flour or corn tortillas, classic elotes, Flaming Hot Cheetos elotes, Takis elotes and bottled water. - wfaa
The only taco machine I know of is, for the moment, in Fort Worth but ... I have a feeling ... somebody here in El Paso with a head for tech will come up with one pretty quick.
