"Cant afford to operate legally"
We are not a 3rd world country and that's what street vendors project. This is why we need laws.
We’re supposed to have a border but since we don’t have a border we don’t need any stinking laws
Did you see price for the premit???
I guess not.. almost, 2,000$ each year.. thats a month of rent money..
And the city is even letting them pay their fees in payments! Just a bunch of excuses for lawlessness.
@@fernyv4368if it’s a business worth mentioning 2,000 dollars a year is nothing in the name of quality. It’s the difference in people who would rather do this illegally than legally that you see garbage like cross contamination, spitting on hands to moisten them, then proceeding to cook, etc. it’s called 3rd world hun, and also id say stuff you’d call racist but I’d call just noticeable facts.
Our laws aren't enforced. We are a third world country.
“You can take a vendor out of a 3rd world country but you can’t take the 3rd world country out of the vendor “
There’s vendors in first world countries. Never been outside any big sports event or festivals/ county fairs? Lmao 😅your ignorance is hilarious.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@Manuelitoohnovideos You must be one of those Ignorant Uneducated 🤡🤡🤡 out there.....Get educated before you run your mouth.
@CapodeiCapiNYok can you show on here that statement. So we can believe you? If not then please stop and get back to work and pay your taxes like a good American slave.
@CapodeiCapiNY Explain it then pink. 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Is anyone really surprised, this is been going on for years. Open a real restaurant and find out how much it really cost.
Exactly. I remember street vendors from the 80s. And 90s.
They can afford permits, they just don’t want to pay like how they don’t want to pay taxes.
And car insurance lol
Or immigration fees.
Illegals.
Any body would cut corners if they can please it’s called capitalism
@@BigSmokeGTA6NO, that’s called fraud and cheaters do not and should not participate in a capitalist market. A free economy does not mean cheat your way through it.
This is why I can't stand seeing this in my neighborhood. It's going to lead to garbage, rats, and illnesses. Furthermore, it looks absolutely tacky. Just follow the regulations for restaurants & buy permits & rent an actual building. If you can't afford it, then you're in no position to run a restaurant.
True
I think people should be protected if they eat something bad and get sick. Every restaurant have license and insurance, so it should be the same. This is not Mexico with no regulations
Agree. Las Vegas needs to protect its image as a world class tourist destination.
Nobody is forcing you to eat at any place ~ how dumb to sit here and act like you’re being forced to buy from them.
@@anthonymartinez4307 they still need insurance so how dumb is you! Scram airhead!
@@anthonymartinez4307always trying to defend the indefensible
On the contrary, eat more and strengthen your immune system. Have you seen any Indian or Mexican getting sick from street food? I haven't been to the hospital in years.
I will never eat food on the side of the street. Absolutely disgusting
They don't pay taxes or fee's to support the community or city. You get food poisoning? Where are you going if you have no insurance? UMC. County or city services cleans up the mess they leave behind. This is not not LA or Mexico. They chased them out LA beach cities because it became a mess there. There is an entire UA-cam series about it.
Excellent point.
If you get it it's on you who are you gonna sue
Did you vote for Trump?
@@1990758 FJB
100% agree.
I was standing I line on the sidewalk and was like,•Where are they washing there hands?!” I was like NOPE😂😂
You made it to the line… I KNOW you ate.. You can see from passing by they don’t wash their hands…
Go build your immune system. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
They wash hand under his her underwear 😢😢??
Exactly
They are the color of poo
So it’s about 2k in permit fees with payment plans available. That’s not bad considering they don’t have to pay any rent,employees,insurance, taxes
I was about to also say that’s pretty dirt cheap compared to starting a legit business, especially in California
These illegal vendors shouldn't be allowed to feed Americans without oversight. This is America and we have LAWS about how food can be safely served to Americans. This isn't a 3rd world country. America is the Most Powerful Country on the Planet.
It’s a little bit too late for your third world country we are already there,,,And if you don’t like it we have an open border so you can move out
DEPORT
When I went to the bank, there were 25 people from the third world, and I was the only one from the first world. I don't know where you get that ideation we aren't the third world, but to each his own.
I lived in Los Angeles for almost four years and when these places started popping up here, I talked about how these places would just dump their trash in a place close by and just leave it and soon you'd have rats the size of horses running around, and people could not wait to jump on the pile to criticize me. It's coming to a neighborhood near you...but don't let me tell you.
I saw that when I took my girl home last Saturday at 2am. She lives in BH, I live in OC. They "washed" parking lot food stand into the gutter. The gutter that drains into the ocean. LA elected officials and voters are really really dumb.
Iam out here to I somewhat agree
Never even looked appetizing lol I saw all dangers as a pre-requisite lol Your not wrong man.
Another issue is the traffic they create when knuckleheads pull up to eat from them. They always interfere at the busiest intersections and roadways too.
1. Las Vegans are low IQ drug addicts/alcholics. Of course they're going to criticize you for daring to go against the mass marketed narrative.
2. Go back to your third world city, please.
Idk why street food gets such a good rep bruh you couldn’t pay me to eat that shit
No asked your spoiled ass, wait when shtf
Yep, it’s usually the cheapest cuts of meat too.
Cos it's actually alot cleaner. U pass by a any race and they all stink except asains and Mexicans
Lot of them don't wash their hands
Lot of fast food and sit down restaurants have employees that have terrible hygiene and don’t wash their hands…
I saw one vendor pee in a bottle and another crap in a bucket infront of the grill, then he started peeling fruit
@@drquinnmedicinewoman7786 lmao…okay bud
But don't they wear glove?
@@drquinnmedicinewoman7786 😆really????
I am a small business. 3 employees including myself. I had to get license bonded and insurance. Stop with the pity party for illeagal vendors. Make them follow the laws. Laws were wtitten for a reason. If they dont like it they can go back and sell in their homeland. I absolutely refuse to patronize illeagal vendors
@@user-mf6kz3ld5rThat’s not the point and you are not a small business owner. To operate one you must have license, registration, follow local Health Department safety guidelines, they inspect without notice, carry insurance, landlord rent and insurance, taxes, and myriad of other cost to run the business. These street vendors did none of that. They cheat on taxes. Shut it down!
What’s your small business name
The sanitary conditions of street food vendors are often poor, with issues such as lack of hygiene, improper clothing, and inadequate handwashing practices. The society deserves strict health code enforcement to protect the health of customers buying prepared food from these vendors.
You don’t have to buy ( rather poor) as if these fancy places don’t have dirty habits? Who is forcing you to buy? Lol Karen’s of Las Vegas
@@anthonymartinez4307 go back to California or get shut down.
Then don’t eat there.
@anthonymartinez4307 that's not the point this ain't Tijuana homie this is the usa shit different out here
@@shy5981 Agree!
Nasty! I called this out when they started popping up! I would dare eat ANY of that crap.
But you eat food with forever chems and who knows what else that are put in it. I'd say the nasty is on the same level as what may be out with the vendors.
@@Nitrous2OH nice try
Hey get back to work and pay your taxes like a good American slave and don’t worry about this
True no running hot water to wash your hands but people don't care they will say groceries are expensive
Funny, I’ve gotten food poisoning from McDonalds and Popeyes and not from street tacos 😅 Popeyes I had it for two weeks. Horrible
This should be 'buyer be aware' for those willing to buy and support these street vendors. But they should not be allowed to operate other brick & mortar businesses and they should pay tax and get inspected just like every other businesses.
It’s not racist to want clean food.
Don’t eat the tacos
It’s not racist to let let customers choose where they want to eat.. whether it’s restaurant or a street vending place
it’s not racist to let people know about unsanitary handling and lack of food hygiene from food vendors
It’s also not racisms if you see the taco man handle money then make your food and then you go to el pollo loco instead.
@@geeejeee8885get a food permit
I already knew about the nasty food conditions most of those health hazards on wheels are.. even with how bad prep is before they set out, so many don't keep proper temps when they are on the street or wherever by using "costly" sturnos etc... I remember how much of a plague these vendors were on the Santa Monica pier back in when I lived in Socal..
Yeah you’re lying.
So the street vendors can't afford to do things correctly and legally... So then it's discrimination for everyone else who actually has to do things legally right!? If this is how these people run their businesses then it's probably best that they're not running any business! The simple fact is I own a business right now and it's not making any money yet I still have to pay the government every month and I still have to pay every year for licensing and fees and everything else! Or maybe I just have to do. If they're not making enough to be able to afford the licensing then maybe they should stop what they're doing and go get a job working for someone making more money! Or maybe they should raise their prices like a legitimate business owner has to do in order to cover the bills! If you still can't make enough money after that revert back to the first go get a job working for someone where you can make enough! There's reasons for the law in the government to exist and that's so people don't go get food poisoning because these people have food sitting out in the heat all day long not being properly kept! Second question if they're not a legal business how are they paying their taxes...!? So are these people now evading taxes as well!? So they're operating a business without paying anything back to the community and they want to act like it's everybody else's fault! Hope the government shuts all illegal vendors down because they are not doing their part for the community and the vast majority of them I guarantee don't even know how to properly keep food according to health and safety rules as we're finding out they had to be shut down. It's amazing how we treat one group of people differently than everybody else and we're supposed to feel sorry for that certain group meanwhile everybody else in the city who wants to run a business has to go do it legally we don't get it just pop up carts on corners and sell food The laws apply to everyone and should be applied to everyone equally
I am a small business owner and I agree with 💯 %. Street food vendors just want to get a free ride on everything. Only a person running a small business knows how much it cost. The playing field is not even until they operate a real business and pay for all the costs we’re paying now….license, registration, insurance,rent, taxes ( state and federal), sewer maintenance, hvac maintenance, heat, electricity, A/C, employee benefits, marketing, Internet, town taxes, etc…If anyone operate a business without a license you are cheating the system and it’s illegal. I don’t care if it’s on the street or in your home! This is a country with law not a third world country.
It really is unacceptable poisoning people with your food, especially in las vegas, regardless of it being street-level food. It isnt hard having a decent storage cooler, just keep it dialed at under °40F and youre set. Truly a safety issue
Gross. Everyone needs to be able to pass the inspection. You wouldn’t feed that rotten food to your own family but sell it to others? Selfish
Just another step towards a third-world nation
The mindset has been at that level for years - it's just easier to identify now.

oh no! I was wondering why mr bow jangles disappeared !
😂😂😂 nooooo
And stray dogs 🐕 🐈
for real
Gross , this will make me think twice before i eat from a vendor again
About time! They also need to pay income taxes.
And collect Sale taxes too
Nevada has to get a hand on these people, it's the hispanic way to move in, set up shop, not pay any taxes, rent, insurance , and then qualify for government assistance . These people are the reason California has so many problems
Yes!!!!
Totally agree. Good point.
And get tax credits at the end of the year because they reflect living in poverty.
I work in the trades and have had to work in many kitchens of restaurants and stores that are very popular chains. To say they are clean and sanitary is BS. Just remember, employees are lazy too.
TRANSLATION Not enforcing immigration and equating the enforcement of laws to racism has increase crime and health risks for Americans
I've tried this one time because I was expecting a really price on the meal 2:03 , but it's about the same price compared to a tacos shop in the valley, so never again.
Did they follow our rules when they came across the border? Seems a bit silly to believe they would follow them now.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!!
Lmao the video is about street vendors and you make it about illegal immigration
When you eat unlicensed street food. I say, eat at ur own risks 😬
Never eat anywhere that doesn't have running water and a toilet. Food Trucks and the like, are a toilet.
Don't ask what the secret ingredient is. Lol
Food trucks too
Where do they use the bathroom?
Why carwashes on the street?
REGARDING FEES REQUIRED:
A certain amount of capital is required to open a business, including permit/license fees. Brick & mortar businesses face the same requirements. Street vendors need to comply, as the fees are not unreasonable. End of story. Unfortunately, your emotions, and pain & suffering have little to do with opening a business.
They are not talking food safety course to get the food safety licence from the city of Las Vegas they have to buy.
Glad the news is covering behind the scenes of these street vendors…. this is just foul.
NONE of this is surprise…
Even though diarrhea is a beautiful name I sure hate to have it.
🤔..and they wonder why people are getting sick and dying..🤮
The government is supposed to protect us from bad food. Keep it up vegas
Tbf my Burger King was pretty bad, my manager put me on leave for months because I threw out a customers patty after I noticed them giving it to the customer, but the patty give. I’d noticed was the one I told them was moldy and threw out, and sure enough the raw beef was missing from the trash can. He and I were furious.
But when I was 16-19 I couldn’t afford to not work, and I didn’t know I could quit and get a better job ( but even Publix isn’t able to support a livable wage thanks Biden I’m actually on verge of suicide due to it it’s seriously bad )
now all that found, where is the health department getting the agents to enforce the rules and fines. these folks will disappear to Mexico if they get into trouble. unlike brick and morter operations/
THEY SAY THEY CANT AFFORD THE FEES, YET BEEN VENDING FOR MONTHS OR YRS MAKING MONEY WITHOUT PAYING TAXES JUST FREE MONEY!! KNOCK IT OFF
Passing the buck Nevada is at fault for letting this happen.
Rules are rules.
Time to get legal or get out. Law sucks but we have to do it. You too.
Then you get out
Then you leave
It's hilarious how initial street vendors were doing this to businesses who had brick and mortar sites paying employees and regulatory fees and rent...
When they were calling out these local vendors they were mad and said 'their racists and we just want a better life..... until their very own people come in an invade their set up there business and don't give a shit and over run them now they are pissed and are angry..... If you do things the right way it could be a win win for both but now you're getting a taste of your own medicine and now they can't handle it...
We must pay taxes, these war's aren't going to fund themselves lol
What took the health department so long to take action?
Elections are coming up.
Peddling for VOTES!
Next on their agenda is getting “rid” of the junkies.
You want to do bussines, or make a living, that does not mean you are allowed to hurt people !!
We are a community and need to care for each other!!
this is all over california too. even half the restaurants dont even post their food grade in the windows, we are becoming the 3rd world, need to put a stop to this.
I didn't know we were becoming the third world; I thought we already were the third world.
Honestly never heard of anybody getting sick from street vendor’s where I live
That’s nasty! Glad they are cracking down on this! Yuck!
They don't care about their customers safety they should be arrested and placed on a ban from ever being able to attain a vendors license
Why no fines
As someone who’s worked in the restaurant industry for a long time. Even restaurants don’t give you exactly what they promoting. They can tell you they have freshly caught mahi mahi for todays special. And that shit has been sitting in the back of the freezer for over 4 months. Doesn’t matter if it’s a food truck or a dine in restaurant if the employers are shady their practices will be shady. Here where I live we have a big group of food trucks people trying to make a living it’s always clean and they have their permits and license taped to their cart/truck. But everyone should practice safe food hygiene this is why they have to get their servsafe certification
People can choose to not buy from these businesses. Close our borders and enforce licensing laws with cash fines and siezure of equipment and inventory. 😢
Illegals cannot afford to operate legally? LOL! That is the BEST!
some of these people have been legal here as long as you have lived. ignoramous.
@@genociderjill I doubt that very much! If so they are total losers hawking food on the streets at that age.
Simple solution, do not patronize!
Overpopulation means people will try to get cheap food from those street people.
What do they do with the $10 a hotdog they've siphoned then🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
Cant afford to own and operate a legit business but charges as much if not more than restaurants prices with no overhead. Insane.
This is all over the country,even in small restaurants,the health conditions are very poor 😢
20/20 did an episode over twenty years ago...... how did this happen again. Clark county does not mess around just ask O.J. and when they are finished eradicating these places can they send Riverside county CA. the clift notes on how to do it.
Can you show the link to the 20/20 video?
Disgusting
more examples of people who say they cannot afford the fees, not being able to prepare/store/transport food safely. it costs money to play the game. 1 bad taco and you are ruined if you dont have insurance to cover your a$$
Unsanitary . Food poison.
Exactly.But a lot of people don't care but I remember how they were doing the pandemic. Would not even touch the button to cross the street. Would not walk on the same side of the street with you if you didn't have a mass on.
Don’t eat from the streets, it can coast your life.
Probably entered into California illegally then thought they could do whatever they wanted here too. Wanna run a business you need a license. Don't want one? Go back.
I recently got some sort of rash on my face after eating part of a falafel bought out of a “legal” food truck. Seriously, this can happen everywhere, even at McDonalds or Burger King.
These street vendors are earning a lot , Some of them have 5th wheels or RV pulling their kitchen. Fees are nothing to them if from California owner or resident should charge double fees.
They need to check Round table on Eastern. My family and I went, had the worst experience we’ve ever had with food poisoning. Health District needs to be checking restaurants often too.
Who could possibly have seen this coming. 😏
"She's whiskey in a teacup." Nice!
This is why my mom as a kid would never let me eat street vendor food. Now that I'm 39 the same goes for my kids.
Trump 2024🎉 Deportation
Trumpty Dumpty hires illegals. He had zero intentions of deporting them.
I will never eat at a street vendor
Street food are the way to go for a quick bite but remember there's an old saying, what ever doesn't kill you will make you stronger!
If it does the first instead of the second, then whoever did it can pack up and leave before he is informed his food destroyed human life.
Do your job sanitary inspection.
100 % and I’m Mexican. Some people not only lack education but also want to prosper but not do it the right way. For once Mexicans and other Central Americans, need to realize that taking short cuts is not going to get you there.
I’ll go get a loaf of bread and a jar of Peter Pan before I eat at a food truck.
If your not licensed 😂hit the road we got rules here🎉🎉🎉😊
Vegas, fines ain’t no joke !!
This a gambling city, so trust and believe you gone get taxes!!
Good job SNHD !!
These people never seen Hell’s Kitchen lol
They’re not from California stop using California as a scapegoat
California is trash.....So stop defending that shit hole....
🤡🤡🤡
In 1987, Arizona blamed California for the overpopulation. Nevada is getting the same problem from California because they know California wants to be a thick population state. California pretends it doesn't know that places are overflowing with people. It's just like the cup in your kitchen. If you are going to drink 2 cups off milk, you don't pour that amount of milk into a cup that can hold less than that because it will overflow.
@raycastaneda7089 CALIF NEEDS TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT AS WELL WITH ALL THESE VENDORS FOOD AND OTHERWISE, THE ROADS AND STREETS ARE VERY UNSIGHTLY!! MAIN, BROADWAY, SAN PEDRO, VERMONT, SLAUSON, ALL OVER THE FREAKING CITY TENTS AND SHIT
California is a shit hole dumb ass 🤡
California Trash......
I got sick I don’t know if it related to those vendor I ate steak burritos next day I got wet diarrhea fever chill this be my last time eating those vendor food so disgusting after watch this news
Vegas has become a heath issue
There should be two criteria’s for vendors . Those who sell snacks and those who actually cook food ( meat ) .
The man crying because nobody wants to eat at his dirty restaurant lol
What restaurant 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The guy in the interview is also a street vendor genius. You know it’s bad when he’s complaining too.
Yes, it is different way of managing the food preparation but, if ur stomach isn’t strong to handle this type of food or allergies don’t eat it. Go fine those high top restaurants without given they are notice and u’ll find out the real truth.
Food biz! is really a serious business. no matter what ur current 'financial' situation ,or a small business, u gotta make sure the 'cleanliness' Because if not ppl will get sick. When ppl get sick they cant support business anymore.
As a microbiologist, I do Not recommend food from the streets.
Gross
What did you expect 😅
If they're coming from CA they're primarily from SoCal, because I highly doubt strreet food vendors from NorCal and the Bay Area are going to drive 8+ hours (2 of them through the Mojave) to Vegas to sell food. Especially with gas at $5-$6/gallon. Them vendors probably think your inspection enforcement is lax enough to take liability risks. If you crack down on inspections and put the weight on fines instead of costs to vend legally, the SoCal vendors will go away.
In 1987, Arizona blamed overpopulation on California.
She forgot her 👖
Some of us really do care about hygiene and food safety. These people are trying to make us look bad.
Go away
Defund Career Politician’s and Government Agencies. How Pathetically Criminal.
This is why I don't buy street food. They're not a restaurant where things get inspected and a certain standard needs to be held.
Street food vendors can do anything they want with the food and nobody knows if it's safe to eat.
