We haven’t had a promise this good since a chicken in every pot!

40 acres and a burrito?

I work with a former chef who said only once in his career (at a country club) did he ever run a kitchen without Mexican and/or otherwise brown people. Apparently it was a disaster.

Good one! That sounds like the sort of joke my dad would repeat over and over again.
He is an idiot. Look his collection of books for dummies in the back, ha ha.
I would move that the DNC sponsor a taco truck at every election precinct location (while respecting the distance between “campaigners” and polling place) and offer free tacos for proof of voting (not necessarily how you voted, just that you showed up and did your civic duty.)

As the only person on the planet who absolutely loathes Mexican food (seriously, it’s like it’s composed 100% of ingredients I can’t stand), that actually sounds pretty scary. Still not voting for Trump though.

When I was in southern Indiana fried brain sandwiches were incredibly popular.
“You are what you eat” turns out to be untrue, at least in the state that elected Mike Pence.

Yeah me too.
The taco trucks aren’t very well distributed over the city.
I mean, the trucks have wheels, right?
Southwest Austin is very under-taco’d. And way over-barbecued. [eyeroll] Kinda ridiculous and also monotonous.
Dripping Springs has some taco shacks that are pretty ok.
Send in taco trucks!
Also, pho and felafel and Korean food and Indian food and Ethiopian food…
Hey, I have a true story about a food trailer, the Twisted X Brewery, and Dripping Springs City Hall. It’s semi-sensational… lemme know if you want me to tell it. I am not quite sure if there are tacos involved, or if it was (lordy again?!?!) barbecue, but the bad bad trailer in question did have wheels.

That could be the place I knew but when I was there people literally lined up around the block for fried brain sandwiches.
Alton Brown stopped there and had one in an episode of Feasting On Asphalt. He was not impressed.

We’re going to build a wall of tacos, and he’s going to pay for it!

I support your Constitutional right to voice terrible, objectively incorrect opinions.

232 comments and no mention of tacos dorados de papa?
My favorite thing to come home to after work…
My mother-in-law mixes shredded chicken in for most of them, but makes plenty of plain potato ones for the wife and me.
Topped with homemade hot sauce.
Couldn’t find a pic of her tacos, so here are some sopes (also made with taters)

Do you also not like Middle Eastern food? My coworker loathes both.

Vegans would cheer, certainly. Both falafel and hummus are vegan-compatible dishes. And quite tasty at that. Add dolma and spinach fayater, and the Muslim Invasion becomes the Vegan Invasion (but it would still need real ratatouille to be complete).

Nope, just Mexican food. I actually like pretty much every other type of food. And I actually love Mexican desserts, for what that’s worth.
Say you don’t like Indian or Japanese food and everyone is just “Well, that’s just your thing I guess”. Say you don’t like Mexican food and everyone assumes you’re either an extraterrestrial or a super picky eater who hates everything.

I just hope they use locally sourced produce from the lesbian farmers in their taco trucks.

When I was growing up in central Indiana, I heard that was a really local thing in a small area of the state. But then again, when I was growing up the governors were Democrats, so things may have gotten stranger since I left.
Off topic, but I just can’t get over the fact that the first person interviewed in that article is named Albert Capone.

A friend of mine refuses to eat Mexican food. He says it’s boring and beneath him. When I heard that I stopped trusting his opinions on food in general.
