I was later told that some fast-food places allow drive-through orders only from people in motorized vehicles for security issues.

But how would that work with our pickup and destination being the same location? Plus it sounded expensive when I thought about it in rupees.īut it wasn’t until that night at Del Taco that I realized the region’s neglect for the car-deprived borders on hostility. Then we pondered hiring an Uber just to drive us through. He half-jokingly suggested pushing me through the drive-through in a Walmart shopping cart.

I turned to Somesh - we are both 31 years old - completely flummoxed. He seemed to have a lot of practice not selling tacos. He went back to his stool and resumed reading the newspaper. We tried to reason with him, but he had better things to do. I looked back, there was no car in line or anywhere nearby. “You don’t have a car, and this is a drive-through.” We marched up the asphalt drive and knocked on the window. I multiplied the prices by 80 to know the cost in rupees - the currency back home in Mumbai - and fixed on one chicken and one beef taco. The doors of the Del Taco were locked, but the lights were on and we spotted a worker in the drive-through window. We trudged across the vast empty lot carrying our groceries in giddy anticipation of greasy food. It had been a long day, and my roommate Somesh and I were famished and exhausted. We just finished a late-night grocery run at the Walmart in Lawndale and spotted what, in our state of gnawing hunger, was a glorious red and yellow sign across the parking lot.
