Fetish Friday Promotion Attracting Entirely New Customer Base To Taco Stand
LOS ANGELES, CA — What began as a lighthearted attempt to boost foot traffic has spiraled into a marketing case study no one asked for, as local taco stand El Señor Crunch confirmed Friday that its “Fetish Friday” promotion is attracting an entirely new demographic of customers—most of whom seem to be less interested in tacos than in creative ways to sit on vinyl stools.
Owner Jorge Castillo said the event started innocently enough, with a chalkboard sign offering “two tacos for the price of one if you show us your safe word.” Within hours, the small eatery was packed with people in leather harnesses, latex bodysuits, and what Castillo diplomatically referred to as “complex equipment.”
“We thought we might get a few college kids who think it’s funny,” Castillo said. “Instead, we got a guy in full gimp attire ordering lengua tacos through a zipper. Honestly, sales are up 300%. We can’t complain.”
Unintended Atmosphere Shift
Regulars report that the vibe at the stand has changed dramatically. “It used to be about quick lunch breaks,” said customer Daniel Ruiz, holding a foil-wrapped burrito. “Now there’s a dude chained to the napkin dispenser, and the guacamole feels… different somehow.”
Meanwhile, Yelp reviews have become oddly poetic. One five-star write-up simply read: ‘Delicious, transcendent, transcendent, consensual.’ Another gave the tacos 10/10 but warned: ‘Be careful leaning against the salsa bar—someone might already be using it.’
Business Boom, Neighborhood Concern
Local officials admit they don’t quite know how to regulate “fetish-themed taco commerce.” The Health Department issued a gentle reminder that leather whips should not be stored in the same bin as cilantro, while neighborhood groups have raised concerns about “excessive moaning during lunch rush.”
Still, Castillo insists the promotion has brought the community closer—sometimes literally. “We had a line around the block,” he said. “And sure, the block was tied up with rope, but business is business.”
A New Kind Of Loyalty Program
Plans are already in place to expand the idea. Castillo hinted at “Bondage Burrito Tuesdays” and “Voyeuristic Vegan Wednesdays,” saying the ultimate goal is to “blend culinary delight with the rich tradition of consensual discomfort.”
As for whether the original clientele will return, Castillo remains optimistic. “Look, maybe some people just want tacos without being spanked by a stranger. But if they try the pastor with pineapple, I think they’ll forgive us.”
