JohnA (Letter: Too many taco stands in Coeur d'Alene): Our friends, Mary and Dennis Hayes from Black Lake, own and operate the stand in the Runge's parking lot on 4th. It is far from just a 'taco' stand, though. Everything Mary cooks is fresh and tasty, especially her breakfast burritos. She also takes her business to fairs and other events, part of her typical 60-hour workweek. It was her dream to one day have her own business and she's made it happen. I love Latino food and I can say Mary's beats anything else I've had and that includes the fancier restaurants I've dined at all over the country. Like others on here, I agree that this man's rant was more about being a racist than anything else, and points out how far we still have to go to attain some measure of tolerance in north Idaho.

Question: Do you have a favorite food cart in the local area?
