The taco ATM dispenses tacos to the hungry late-night crowd in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 There’s an ATM in North Texas that dispenses tacos instead of cash. Let’s (sorry) “taco ’bout” how to find it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The machine is in Fort Worth’s West 7th District at 2811 Bledsoe St. and it serves up tacos for the late-night, weekend crowd from 10 p.m. to 2:45 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, according to Emil Bragdon of of Funky Lime Hospitality. It’s the ATM machine that says “Automated Taco Machine Company.”<\/p>\n
“You walk up to it, it’s very user friendly, you just place your order,” Bragdon said. “Just like an ATM spits out the money, this thing spits out tacos.”<\/p>\n
The menu, which is made out of a commercial kitchen, includes chicken, pork, or steak tacos on flour or corn tortillas, classic elotes, Flaming Hot Cheetos elotes, Takis elotes and bottled water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Funky Lime Hospitality, which is the company behind the taco ATM, owns the nearby bar and restaurant Reservoir, as well as The Whiskey Garden, Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room, Shot: 30, Junk Punch, and Your Mom’s House.<\/p>\n
The machine has drawn attention from passersby, Bragdon says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bragdon says they plan to open the taco ATM on Sundays as well by the end of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s a fun way to do things, it’s a little bit different, but people are having a lot of fun with it,” Bragdon said. “It’s been exciting to see the customer base excited about it as well.”<\/p>\n
