Remember these guys?
They had the best fries. Here is the link and the original publisher of the photos used in my video.

I vaguely remember some employees being murdered in a robbery at a Pup 'n' Taco. Was this true and at what location?

[dhinis]

@lincbond442 Don't know about any murders... But, the idea sounds good for a movie....D

is this a "real" commercial or a joke? Actually, that's not what I mean, but, is it real though? What I really mean is, is it a modern commercial done in a retro style, or is it really, just an old commercial? Either way, it's pretty cool!

@gjc82071 This is a fake commercial. more of a tribute.

Thanks for making this! Brings back great memories of this great little chain.

I thought it was Taco Bell who bought them out? Our location near our house in Gardena, CA became a Taco Bell in 85

I really miss their tacos, they used american cheese, also they had great french fries

the best item on the menu was their pastrami sandwich. steamed bun with tender pastrami.......havn't had anything like it since.

White and black americans who usto work at fast food places who could afford houses and apartments to live in, wow what a concept!!!

[lincbond442]

@droog83 That might have been the one. I was living near Compton in the mid-70's but I was too young to remember any of the details. I think there was a Pup 'n' Taco on Long Beach Blvd in Lynwood or South Gate.

@lincbond442

My mom had a friend who was shot in the drive-thru at the one in Compton during a robbery but she can't recall of any employees being murdered.

@gjc82071 Wow, I actually thought it was real. I'm an admitted "retroholic" who loves early 70's thru mid 80's culture (video games, movies, commercials, etc). I literally had a hard time distinguishing whether this was real or fake. I actually did think it was a real commercial, but couldn't tell if it was old or modern. Anyway, it's really cool. BTW, who made it, do you know?
