SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - May 16, 2006 - Scottsdale isn't the place for a Pink Taco.
That's what Mayor Mary Manross says. She's hearing from some residents of the upscale Arizona community who are upset about the name of the Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant.
A second location is scheduled to open next month in downtown Scottsdale. Critics say the name is also a derogatory slang term.
But restaurant spokeswoman Lisa Perez says the company's name comes from one of its menu items. The original Pink Taco is inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
