ELGIN -- Police in Elgin say they are hunting for a machete-wielding man who apparently has quite a taste for tacos.

Elgin Deputy Police Chief Jeff Swoboda says a local resident was walking back to his vehicle Sunday night after buying 16 tacos for $41 when a man wearing a black ski mask and a hooded sweat shirt ran up to him.

Swoboda says the masked man waved a machete and took the tacos, but nothing else. He then drove off in an older-model light green car

The victim was not injured.
