Corazón on the House

¡Órale!

One more taco for the road!

Welcome to the Hop Taco Truck!

Neon flickers, midnight glow,

Abuela said, “Let kindness grow.”

Press the masa, warm the flame,

Every tortilla knows your name.

OmniCorp stole yesterday,

But they can’t steal this recipe.

Every bite says, “You’re alive,”

Come on in, we’ll all survive.

Hot tortillas, corazón,

Pass the salsa, sing along!

One more taco, one more smile,

Hope can travel every mile.

Steam is rising, lights are low,

Feed your soul before you run,

Everybody eats as one!

Street rats laughing by the wheel,

Chrome Mercs finally get a meal.

Ghost Signals dance above the stove,

Tiny stars the cables wove.

By daylight I’m your favorite cook,

By moonlight I’m the one they overlook.

Vibro-spatula, silent feet,

Justice served with something sweet.

Hot tortillas, corazón,

Pass the salsa, sing along!

One more taco, one more smile,

Hope can travel every mile.

Steam is rising, lights are low,

Feed your soul before you run,

Everybody eats as one!

Abuela…

I still hear your hands in the dough.

Every tortilla carries home,

Even when home had to go.

So I’ll keep the fire burning bright,

For every ghost that lost the light.

Pull up close—you’ve got a seat,

Love is something you can eat.

Engine humming through the night,

Bunny ears catch every fright.

If you’re hunted, don’t you fear,

Hop Taco Truck is always near.

Salsa dancing, sparks that fly,

Steam curls up into the sky.

One more laugh before we roam,

Sometimes dinner is coming home.

Hot tortillas, corazón,

Pass the salsa, sing along!

One more taco, one more smile,

Hope can travel every mile.

Raise your hands, shout “¡Qué rico!”

Neon hearts in every glow.

Body fed and spirit free—

That’s my family’s recipe!

One more taco?

On the house.

See you tomorrow, corazón.
