    John, I don’t see where “reboo” has anything to do with “people(s) who eat tacos, nachos and burritos”. I believe that the word has its roots in the Spanish, French, and Portuguese words that mean “echo” “thunder” “rebound” and “bounce”. Maybe I would understand the taco nuance if I was really cool, eh?

    What type of food do they serve? Chinese? Norther American or a mix bag?

    [...] And where was this poster hanging? No, not in the Arctic Circle. It was on the wall inside Chinese cafeteria Reboo. [...]
