I'm uhh... guessing this is a joke, but if it isn't... they'd do brisk business in San Diego!

  Probably a joke since the batteries last around 15 minutes, especially when carrying a load. It would be amazing if real though. Maybe someone can make a hydrocarbon powered version that would actually have enough range. It would use less fuel than a car, and get there faster to boot. Startup idea?

    Set up the site now and get all the attention. Then launch once battery life improves!

    Something like a quadshot [0] should be more efficient for this task - use quadrotors for the VTOL ability, but convert to far more power-efficient wing for flying at speed. I think it'd be possible to build a large quadshot-esque quadrotor -> flying wing device that would have the 1-3 mile range and ~500gr non-battery payload capacity necessary for taco delivery.

  They can add revenue by flying drugs back across the border!

  Can you imagine Stone Brewing getting into this? Hungry Marines would be sniping from every bush and the 15 would be littered with downed coptors.

  They definitely would. I saw this, and even though I know it coming to fruition is highly unlikely, my team and I would patronize them almost every day. OMnomnomnomnomOM

  I'd go for a carne asada burrito delivered to me in PB.
