Waiting for donuts at Glazed Over. The city of Beacon didn t quite know what to do when the first food truck arrived on its rapidly changing streets five years ago. The city was wary about granting permits in worries that it would lead to food trucks parked up and down Main Street.

They planted a community garden on the lot and painted murals, including a smiling alien above the slogan KEEP BEACON WEIRD, a riff on the infamous slogan KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD.

Saint Taco, it s located at 5323 Greenville Ave., where it s serving breakfast tacos, street tacos, Tex-Mex staples, and wings. The not-so-good news: It replaces BBBop Seoul Kitchen, which has been serving upscale quick-serve Korean comfort food at that location for more than a decade. But things change, especially since COVID-19. And really, this just follows the lead set at the original BBBop in Carrollton, which was transformed into a taqueria in 2013 (under the name Tacoria Tacos, but they ve now rebranded to Saint Taco).
