After Government suspended non-essential activities to halt COVID-19 spread, the informal food street industry suffered a drastic reduction of customers, between the 60% and 80%, according the food merchants. Food stalls are allowed to work but take-away only. There is major concern on the impact of the pandemic in Mexico's informal economy, which represents almost 60% of its workforce and 22% of GDP.

BULLARD, Texas (KETK) — A popular Bullard food truck has been forced to close down temporarily due to a fire.

According to their Facebook page, Tacos El Guero Gil caught on fire on July 10. The damage to the food truck is unknown but the owners say that it seems to be significant.

There is no timeline yet as to when the food truck will reopen for business. Fortunately, they have received lots of support from the community, including from another food truck: DJ’s Kitchen.

DJ’s Kitchen held a fundraiser event on Friday in which the proceeds of all plates sold, as well as donations, were given to the family that owns Tacos El Guero Gil, according to their Facebook page. The donations will reportedly go towards covering the cost of a new trailer.
