Some people probably came to the El Paisa taco truck in Denver for the mariscos (shrimp). But, according to a federal indictment, others stayed for the meth. In one of the largest methamphetamine busts in state history, the Denver Post reported that a joint federal and local law enforcement drug operation has produced indictments against 17 people and the seizure of 55 pounds of meth from an international drug run that sold the product out of a nondescript taco truck.

"Operation Cargo" was one of the most brazen drug operations Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said he's ever seen. "For example, customers could literally walk up to a food truck and order a side of meth with their taco," he said in announcing the indictments. The accused ringleader, 37-year-old Juan Carlos Gonzalez, is accused or running the Gonzalez Drug Trafficking Organization from his BMW, where he coordinated the sale of meth and some cocaine imported from Mexico to California for sale in Colorado.

Gonzalez allegedly relied on his aunts to distribute the drugs, many of which were sold out of the food truck. The bust included the seizure of 55 pounds of meth hidden in the floorboards of a red Mini Cooper driven by the gang's "load car" driver Oscar Ruvalcaba.

All but two of the 17 people indicted have been arrested in the investigation, which also seized guns and cash.
