Google Maps can help you find just about anything—except for local taco trucks and stands in Los Angeles. Now, Delimex Taquitos hopes to change that.

For its latest campaign from Gut Miami called “Street Views Stores,” the taquitos maker is highlighting seven Mexican street-style food trucks and vendors in L.A. These eateries rely on word-of-mouth to get new customers because they are unlisted on Google Maps.

Kraft Heinz-owned Delimex will share video interviews with the chefs on paid and owned social media channels, and use influencers to spread the word about these local gems. In return, each vendor will offer a dish using Delimex taquitos on their menu until the end of the month.

 

“The idea for this campaign came from an ‘aha’ moment while the creative team was brainstorming about lunch, specifically about which were the best places to eat in our city,” Dean Paradise, executive creative director at Gut Miami, wrote in an email. The consensus was that the best restaurants are usually those small food trucks hidden away that a friend of a friend swore by. Not the big restaurants or chains that everyone knows about.”

The idea grew from there, Paradise said, “as we thought through how Delimex could support these vendors and put them on the map, literally.”

The vendors are Arroyo Grill, L.A. Birria, El Pique, El Monchis, Tacos El Junior #1, Tacos Fiesta LA and Tacos El Valiii.
