Coming soon: The Bearded Clam Seafood House

So, you just want to relax and enjoy a nice taco, and a bunch of prudes and bluenoses have to go and ruin your fun.
The name of a new restaurant in Scottsdale is stirring up some trouble. The Las Vegas-based Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant is scheduled to open its second location in downtown Scottsdale in June.

Nearly half a dozen people in the upscale city recently expressed their objection to the name, claiming it's a derogatory slang term for a portion of the female anatomy.
Why, whatever do they mean? Oh, right. Heh.
In late April, the city received four e-mails, three of which bore no names, objecting to the restaurant's name.

One of those e-mails stated: "The City of Scottsdale has a very fine reputation around the world. Let's keep the standards high. Let's let what plays in Vegas stay in Vegas."
So, this whole thing stems from four whole e-mails, three of which weren't even signed? Wow. That's some crusade, there.
Restaurant spokeswoman Lisa Perez said the company's name comes from one of its menu items.
And that menu item itself isn't at all some sort of double entendre, just a regular old...pink taco. Gotcha.

i did not realize this was a resturant. my friend took a picture of the vegas one, and i just assumed it was some strip bar.
