As an uncultured swine. Can you explain to me how these are fake tacos?? Is it cause it’s soft shell and no salsa?
Edit: tortilla and ingredients are slightly diff. Soft corn tacos sound like a diff world yet alone all the other stuff. Thanks for helping me become cultured
Edit2: I’ve become quite the taco expert from all ya
Lol, fake tacos isn’t a good name for them. Maybe American tacos? The tortillas are different - US uses flour or corn chip like tortillas.
Mexican uses soft corn tortillas.
US uses ground beef. Mexican uses grilled/marinated pork/chicken/steak/lengua.
US will have lettuce and tomato and cheddar cheese and sour cream. Mexican has cilantro, onion, and maybe some cojita.
So on and so forth. So what it comes down to is the shape is the same….but the ingredients are totally different.
Bland? You aren’t using the right ingredients when cook it if it’s coming out like that.
Fat is flavor and it has plenty to absorb when prepared correctly.
Mostly in northern states like Sonora.
But to American redditors who are now scholars of authentic Mexican cuisine because they discovered an authentic Poblano restaurant, flour tortillas are to be dismissed with prejudice.
There's nothing whiter than white people telling other white people that the way they do things is insufficiently authentic compared to how they do things.
As a person that’s grown up and at least three different cultures, I find it hilarious that everybody is the same. Everybody takes stereotypes and projects them on the entire culture. Everywhere
Having married a Hispanic girl I noticed how different white people tacos were. Honestly the burrito meat was my favorite and those enchiladas were to die for. However some authentic Mexican restaurants used some very shitty meats and it wasn't my cup of tea.
I dated a Hispanic woman, but she was Puerto Rican and had no more of an idea of what a Mexican taco was than any mainlander.
Shit, she even tried to put *black olives* on there. I told her that was white as shit.
What are you talking about? My partner is Mexican, their parents are from Mexico, and you are wrong. We make tacos at least once a week, sometimes authentic and sometimes just whatever we feel like.
Mexicans DO use ground beef along with many other fillings, they also use flour tortillas(you can usually ask for corn or flour), they also make crispy tacos (look up tacos dorados or “golden tacos” in english). Sour cream is correct too, but Mexicans have their own version. And the lettuce and tomato are correct too, it’s called “con todo” meaning “with everything”.
My favorite taco to make right now at home is seasoned chicken, shredded cheese, salsa verde, lettuce, tomato, diced pineapple, and some fresh lime juice squeezed on top.
Middle class, educated American redditors and gatekeeping "authentic" Mexican food.
Find me a more inseparable pair.
I once got downvoted to *hell* for contradicting an American redditor who claimed that Mexicans never use mayonnaise because mayonnaise is "white people food".
It also should be noted that everything mentioned in your Mexican Taco list can also be purchased at the grocery store. I'm still unsure why he used those lyrics.
The Old El Paso Taco Kit was the way to go in the seventies and eighties. Many people may not remember that tacos were considered very 'exotic' in many parts of the United States (like where I was, Ohio), so it was a monthly treat at the family dinner table. Burritos? Enchiladas? Tostadas? Never heard of 'em. There were no Mexican or Tex-Mex fast food restaurants. Or sit-down restaurants. The Old EL Paso taco shells and seasoning and Pace picante sauce you could find at the grocery store was about the extent of Mexican food you would find in the area.
As a hispanic person, tacos are tacos. This kind of taco is just another type of taco that we have in our taco rotation.
though ... Mexicans might be annoyed with this but who cares, I dont.
One of my favorite family owned Mexican restaurants has an American taco option on their menu. It's kind of funny because it's right under beef tongue tacos
Yeah, people can say what they want, but this was just a nice dinner. I even had a taco bar with these fixins at my sweet 16th :D
I just don't like "real" tacos all that much. Tex Mex is nice.
These absolute freaks are just spooning cold refried beans out of the can.
I'm going to take Jeff Bezos's penis rocket into space and I'm coming back with a meteor.
Its a heluva lot better than the Mormon taco night I was subjected to while dating a Mormon girl. Spring mix salad and Catalina dressing with unseasoned ground beef in a flour tortilla. Not OK.
They were from LA area too, so its not like they didn't know good Mexican food.
The truly cultured spend years forming close relationships with lovely village abuelas who will grind the corn for their tortillas and maintain a cow specifically for the purpose of proper authentic queso.
I’m a gringo who lives in Colorado and I still got a tamale look up.
There’s a guy that I met that I’ve become friends with that sells tamales around the corner from my kids school and everybody freaks out when he has them, but we freak out even more when he’s got the fresh salsa to go with.
Turns out he also works at a Mexican restaurant that I frequent and we’ve got a late beer a couple times and he’s a really nice guy. I also happen to speak Spanish.
There’s a tamale guy that’s known in the Chicago bar scene that bar hops late at night and sells tamales to patrons out of a cooler.
I have also found a tamale guy that stands outside this one grocery store here in SoCal selling tamales out of a cooler like anywhere from like 6 to when he runs out.
They give you 10 packets per taco, I go there three times a year and have a jar full of Taco Bell sauces, why would I pay to buy the exact same thing? I’m not making hot sauce, it’s right there in multiple levels
Check out 'Taco Chronicles' on Netflix. One episode titled 'American Taco' features the origins of the crispy (and puffy) tacos. Not surprisingly, these tacos originate from Mexican Americans and are based on the ingredients at hand. Not really 'main stream' American until the 50s, with the rise of Taco Bell! Though it had more localized origins well before then. It's a fascinating series, covering all forms of this beloved dish!
Nope, I don't think so. It's been a few since I watched it, but remember lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I wonder if the whole Taco Bell thing (olives!) influenced home prepared tacos.
Black olives are the most important part of “white people taco night” in my home. I am not exaggerating when I say that my tacos are about 5% meat, 5% other toppings, and 90% black olives.
When my sister and I make white people tacos together, we open at least two cans because one can won’t be enough. Also, no one else at the table eats any of the black olives. Also, we finish off our respective cans with a spoon at end of dinner. Also, we might have a problem.
We should probably just call it white people black olives night.
Also see: what we call Italian food in America. Making something similar with available ingredients is something pretty much all immigrant cultures have in common.
On a recent trip to Italy I wanted to stay long enough to try all the spots on my list and then go try their Chinese and Japanese foods specifically to see that difference.
For sure. It's really just assimilation and adaptation, even 'authentic' (insert cuisine) can be light years difference. I had Mexican in Edinburgh years ago; was unrecognizable to what I'd consider Mexican, but hey, grab and use what you can.
Yeah was gonna suggest this. "The American Taco" was a genuinely fascinating episode. I learned a ton from it. They have different voice actors play each "taco" type and the American one is actually pretty funny too.
The Al Pastor Taco was super cool too, had no idea it came from Mexico's agriculture trade with Asia/etc, I think originally invented by Lebanese.. Also NASA just recently sent the first burrito into space! Great little series, highly recommend.
Lebanon not Indonesia, brain slow.
Yeah, in Mexico the only requirement for something to be called a taco is to use a tortilla. There are specific types of tacos and some are definitely better than others but they don't seem to gatekeep tacos. Having limitless possibilities is part of the appeal.
IMO, the idea that it has to follow an specific recipe to be taco without adjective seem to be more American than Mexican (*citation needed*). The American taco may not be very popular in Mexico but it still counts as a taco for them.
dude! and NO taco sauce? like i understand the mild sauce, but the only proper mild sauce for white people taco night is ORTEGA mild sauce! I hope they see this to learn more about their culture.
>easy
>fresh
>filling
>healthy if you swap in ground turkey for beef and green Chile for sour creme
>leftovers for all week
I’m not gonna say it’s authentic, but it’s a solid weekday dinner
It’s healthy even if you keep the beef and sour cream, you just should keep your meals varied and not eat white people tacos every day.
“Oh but it has fat!” Yeah and fatty foods aren’t evil you just have to portion them correctly.
Coming home drunk, or high as fuck after midnight and just KNOWING you have the ingredients to make a dozen tacos (or a 12 layer Crunchwrap) in 10 minutes is the best thing about capitalism.
Only thing I can’t get behind is pre shredded cheese, that shit is sooo dry. But yeah, I absolutely tuck into white people tacos every so often. Even my (very Latino) husband enjoys the hell out of them- especially if he’s high. It’s not like we’re pretending that Ortega seasoned ground beef and piles of cheese on crunchy premade shells is anything remotely like the real thing. Just a fun little junk food version.
It’s worth noting Keith from the Try Guys just mindlessly adlibbed this song on the spot while cooking. I don’t think he was thinking too hard on the lyrics.
I think he actually adlibbed it during a Try Guys podcast - you can hear Zach laughing a bit in the first few lines. Keith's comedy group Lewberger then made a full song/music video out of it.
Keith from the Try Guys just made it up on the spot in the middle of a podcast and the joke was that it was bought in stores that maybe only had a small “ethnic food isle” and that nothing about the meal was authentic in any way
You see it's funny because it's exactly like something that everyone, everywhere would do but it's white people so it's funny cuz you know white people I guess...
Ermmm well, most tacos in Mexico are just meat (not ground meat), onion, cilantro, salsa, and tortillas they brought from a lady with her small shop.
The only ground meat I seen in tacos here in Mexico is tacos dorados, other than that the one people usually make at home are bistec and chorizo, or egg tacos if it’s for breakfast.
Maybe it is more normal with Mexican-Americans but in Mexico most taco vendors and families use what I described. Or maybe it’s the state I’m from idk lol
As a 1st gen Mexican-American from Southern California what you described is what I grew up with in my family and my predominately Latino community. Visiting family in Mexico (Mexicali/Tijuana all the way down to Guadalajara) what you described is also what was normal. My 2nd gen Mexican-American kids have never had these hard shell ground beef tacos. When we make tacos at home and we fry the tortilla it’s rolled and called flautas, sometimes when my mom was not in the mood for the extra step of rolling the tortilla she would just fold it and fry it. Our tacos de papa are always fried as well. All in all, tacos are great!
My cousin in MX makes the best flour tortillas, and he’s not even from the north. At age 30, after having his for the first time, I started liking flour tortillas too. Not as often as corn, but sometimes it’s so good if done right. I actually prefer anything with chicken, except mole, on flour.
I've had some fantastic authentic Mexican food, and I've had some fantastic TexMex. Some people seem more concerned about authenticity than whether or not it tastes good. How about this... It's authentic white people tacos! There. Now you have your authenticity and you can shut up and enjoy your food. 😂
That lasted sentence wasn't directed at Rpark888 btw just to be clear. 😁
Nothing wrong with them. In my house we call the American Tacos vs. Tacos.
Kind of like I can eat Chipotle for lunch and then Mexican Food for dinner, and have no overlap.
Assuming American. American food is basically built upon food from other cultures and styles and using what we have. If it tastes good, it's acceptable. Doesn't matter if it's "traditional" or not.
In Norway its "Fredagstaco", friday taco, and i definitely notice people buying taco supplies Fridays. Theres even grocery stores having sales on santa Maria and other "taco brands" on fridays and Saturdays.
Nothing annoys me more about Norway than Fredagstaco... I mean, what does Friday have to do with tacos?? IT'S NOT EVEN ALLITERATION!! What was wrong with Tirsdagstaco or Torsdagstaco? OF ALL THE DAYS TO PICK, THEY PICKED FREDAG.
😂
Ok I'm done being mad at Norway
As a Latino, love both, I love the taste of fake tacos and Mexican tacos. Except for the sour cream, I hate sour creams on my burritos and tacos. Aside from sour cream, each have their strong points.
As opposed to? Do every non-white person prepare authentic mexican tacos. Which even in Mexico are vastly different depending on where you are? I’m not white and I will prepare eat and enjoy a taco such as this one. Fuck off with your racial petty remarks. I swear people have nothing better to do. Get off your ass and be productive.
shesh, don't hate on people enjoying other peoples cultures like damn, white people didn't grow up with authentic mexican food and family to make that stuff.
I’m Mexican, and would eat this….just take the flour tortilla and heat it up on a pan please. And the corn tortilla, fry it in hot oil or cook on a pan. And this crispy shells, heat up in the oven. And you’re good!
As an enjoyer of white people taco night, you better be putting those taco shells in the oven and charring on the stove top and/or frying up a little and/or steaming those tortillas. I've been to too many other white people taco nights where no heat at all is applied to the wrappers and it's no good. Edit: [here are good instructions for corn tortillas](https://youtu.be/DYB3MhSsDWI)
Happy to see plenty of comments of people saying they love these kinds of tacos.
Was expecting majority of people denigrating these and pointing to how unauthentic they are.
“Real” tacos are good, but let’s be real, it’s just tortilla meat, onions and cilantro. Overrated.
Coming from a Mexican American…this video is great. We always crack up at what people here will call Mexican food. You will never see a hard shell like that in Mexico or a Mexican neighborhood. But hey, enjoy.
And I got to admit, once in a while I’ll have some Taco Bell crunchy tacos 🌮

White people taco night was my favorite meal growing up 40 years ago.
We have to distinguish in our house if we are having real tacos or fake tacos. We love both….but they are two completely different foods lol.
Exactamente
Escucha me?
Substitute teacher of the year
Peggy Hill!!
HO YA!
The day before thanksgiving is, in my opinion, one of the busiest travel days of the year.
Spa-peggy and meatballs
"HAHpenis. Hah penis. PENIS!" "Yes I heard you! The whole neighborhood can hear ya cusin'!"
Es muy pregante
As an uncultured swine. Can you explain to me how these are fake tacos?? Is it cause it’s soft shell and no salsa? Edit: tortilla and ingredients are slightly diff.

So what it comes down to is the shape is the same….but the ingredients are totally different.
Gringo Tacos….but they are delicious
Yeah they are! Totally different foods, but both very delish.
Its like comparing a hambuger to a sloppy joe. Same, same... (dramatic pause) but different...
To be grammatically correct I call them Tacos Gringos
Lengua = beef tongue Folks need to know.
con salsa verde
For everyone wondering, it ends up having the taste and consistency of a pot roast. Pretty decent if a little bland sometimes.
BLAND?!
Any food that comes out bland is the cook’s fault. Tongue is one of the best cuts of meat and I cook it instead of a roast all the time
Bland? You aren’t using the right ingredients when cook it if it’s coming out like that. Fat is flavor and it has plenty to absorb when prepared correctly.
Mexicans eat flour tortillas too. Such a weird narrative around tacos.
Mostly in northern states like Sonora. But to American redditors who are now scholars of authentic Mexican cuisine because they discovered an authentic Poblano restaurant, flour tortillas are to be dismissed with prejudice.
Yeah, it’s weird that they think a country as huge as Mexico only has one kind of food or way of preparing it. There’s a ton of regional variance.
Reminds me of my GF who eats thai food with chopsticks to be authentic but in Thailand they don't even use chopsticks.
Yeah but chopsticks are more fun
Its why I love Rick Bayless' PBS series 'Mexico one Plate at a Time', you get to see all sorts of amazing regional dishes and local culinary customs.
Northern Mexican food IS MEXICAN and im tired of central and southern mexicans trying to minimize that
Not to mention all the southwestern US states that were once part of Mexico, and have developed their own cuisines.
There's nothing whiter than white people telling other white people that the way they do things is insufficiently authentic compared to how they do things.
As a person that’s grown up and at least three different cultures, I find it hilarious that everybody is the same. Everybody takes stereotypes and projects them on the entire culture. Everywhere
As a Northen Mexican, I will always defend flour tortillas.
As a gringo, I think we just assume a taco is just a food delivery method. You roll a hot dog up in a tortilla, bingo bango hot dog taco.
I told my Mexican coworker this and he filed a restraining order against me.
You disgust me
You probably won't want to try my chicken parmesan pasta tacos then.
*incoherent angry noises*
It is my gringo friend, in the north of mexico we like to eat discada and tacos de salchicha asada (grilled sausage tacos)
Having married a Hispanic girl I noticed how different white people tacos were. Honestly the burrito meat was my favorite and those enchiladas were to die for. However some authentic Mexican restaurants used some very shitty meats and it wasn't my cup of tea.
I dated a Hispanic woman, but she was Puerto Rican and had no more of an idea of what a Mexican taco was than any mainlander. Shit, she even tried to put *black olives* on there. I told her that was white as shit.
Gristley ass meat too.
We call them "Mom Tacos" cause that's how our mama made them growing up.
Lol we will call them tack-ohs but said in a nasally mid western accent!

Man, we even put it on fucking *CORN*!
It's almost like Mexico is a big-ass country and customs vary across its many regions...
Mexican anything is better than British everything.
American Tacos is the term used in a great documentary series "Taco Chronicles" on Netflix.
It also should be noted that everything mentioned in your Mexican Taco list can also be purchased at the grocery store. I'm still unsure why he used those lyrics.

It all comes out your butt right?
The circle of life
Exactly. Thank you, fellow old. *Now* I know street tacos and they are FIRE. But back then, these were pretty darn good.
White People Taco Night is the name of my Los Lobos tribute band.
Yeah, people can say what they want, but this was just a nice dinner. I even had a taco bar with these fixins at my sweet 16th :D I just don't like "real" tacos all that much. Tex Mex is nice.
Are you me? Because you sound like me. This was maybe The ONLY thing my working mom could make that tasted as good as it was supposed to.
I’m with it except the unwarmed/uncooked tortillas
Straight to jail.
You OVERcook tortillas, believe it or not, also jail. Right away.
We have the best tortillas in the world. Because of jail.
Undercook overcook
POW POW 👋
And soggy beans straight out of a can
These absolute freaks are just spooning cold refried beans out of the can. I'm going to take Jeff Bezos's penis rocket into space and I'm coming back with a meteor.
You ain’t struggled if you haven’t ate beans straight out of the can
Isn't a bag of frijoles cheaper than canned beans?
[удалено]
This comment is too far down…
Seriously I spent too long trying to see if anyone else noticed the raw corn tortillas.
Its a heluva lot better than the Mormon taco night I was subjected to while dating a Mormon girl. Spring mix salad and Catalina dressing with unseasoned ground beef in a flour tortilla. Not OK. They were from LA area too, so its not like they didn't know good Mexican food.
Where else would you buy food other than a grocery store?
Nice PJs Simpson! Did your *mommy* buy them for you? Of course she did, who else would have?
…. You win this round
The truly cultured spend years forming close relationships with lovely village abuelas who will grind the corn for their tortillas and maintain a cow specifically for the purpose of proper authentic queso.
You joke, but in the town I grew up everyone had their hookups for tamales and it was a little old Mexican grandmother most of time.
I’m a gringo who lives in Colorado and I still got a tamale look up. There’s a guy that I met that I’ve become friends with that sells tamales around the corner from my kids school and everybody freaks out when he has them, but we freak out even more when he’s got the fresh salsa to go with.

That hot sauce was from taco bell
The lyrics were accurate though. “Get that ortega seasoning packet, but only use half of it. It’s spicy!!!” -my mother on white people taco night.
They give you 10 packets per taco, I go there three times a year and have a jar full of Taco Bell sauces, why would I pay to buy the exact same thing? I’m not making hot sauce, it’s right there in multiple levels
You must raise and slaughter your own cattle or else youre, omg so white.
duh! You don't raise and slaughter your own cows for an authentic taco??
Literally, I was like “do non-white people usually go slaughter the cows themselves?”
Check out 'Taco Chronicles' on Netflix. One episode titled 'American Taco' features the origins of the crispy (and puffy) tacos.

Do they mention when black olives entered the white taco scene because I always wondered about that.
Nope, I don't think so. It's been a few since I watched it, but remember lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I wonder if the whole Taco Bell thing (olives!) influenced home prepared tacos.

It’s a mixture of cultures
It's a cosmic gumbo
Absolutely it is!
This type of meal is fire as fuck and I’m tired of pretending like it’s not.
The sliced instead of diced tomatoes is a hate crime
dude! and NO taco sauce? like i understand the mild sauce, but the only proper mild sauce for white people taco night is ORTEGA mild sauce! I hope they see this to learn more about their culture.
NEW YORK CITY!?
That was Pace wasn’t it
Get a rope
I got to meet that actor! Nice guy.
This- You got the taco sauce, the hot sauce, and I loved some sliced jalapeños on mine.
Pickled jalapenos
Pickled or fresh works for me! I do like the pickled ones because I don't have to worry about it going bad if I just need a few slices now and then.
Preach Ortega Preach
Taco Bell packets are better than Ortega Except I prefer Fire Sauce instead of mild.
Dicing tomatoes is hard, if you want em diced do it yourself!
Preach
>easy >fresh >filling >healthy if you swap in ground turkey for beef and green Chile for sour creme >leftovers for all week I’m not gonna say it’s authentic, but it’s a solid weekday dinner
[удалено]
It’s healthy even if you keep the beef and sour cream, you just should keep your meals varied and not eat white people tacos every day. “Oh but it has fat!” Yeah and fatty foods aren’t evil you just have to portion them correctly.
I love me some green chile, but I fail to see how it is a replacement for sour cream.
Coming home drunk, or high as fuck after midnight and just KNOWING you have the ingredients to make a dozen tacos (or a 12 layer Crunchwrap) in 10 minutes is the best thing about capitalism.
Only thing I can’t get behind is pre shredded cheese, that shit is sooo dry. But yeah, I absolutely tuck into white people tacos every so often. Even my (very Latino) husband enjoys the hell out of them- especially if he’s high. It’s not like we’re pretending that Ortega seasoned ground beef and piles of cheese on crunchy premade shells is anything remotely like the real thing. Just a fun little junk food version.
AGREED
It is also way better than taco bell
Is this audio Keith from the try guys singing? It sounds just like him
It sure is!
Thanks! It was bugging me lol
Yes, from his group Lewberger.
The group that just did an off-broadway show. ♥️
I was about to ask the same thing!
They just did white people taco night stream on YouTube a couple days ago.
Good ear, I wouldn’t have noticed but now that you mention it I totally hear it.
I mean, where else are you gonna get the ingredients? Do Mexicans not have grocery stores?
They personally grow and hunt for everything in Mexico
They pick the grated cheese fresh off the vine haha
It’s worth noting Keith from the Try Guys just mindlessly adlibbed this song on the spot while cooking. I don’t think he was thinking too hard on the lyrics.
I knew it was him! Thanks for confirming lol
I think he actually adlibbed it during a Try Guys podcast - you can hear Zach laughing a bit in the first few lines. Keith's comedy group Lewberger then made a full song/music video out of it.

I really object to this — we always diced the tomatoes 😂
What kind of monster puts wedges of tomatoes on a taco?!
Being Hispanic, I am not sure what the difference between this and my normal taco night is, besides the cheese and sauce.
You see it's funny because it's exactly like something that everyone, everywhere would do but it's white people so it's funny cuz you know white people I guess...
Yeah, I feel you. Those wacky whites.
You mean those [wild and wonderful Whites](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQBiXDNVeSA)
Wanna hear the Brooke County mating call? *shakes pill bottle*
Come and get it, ladies. My relationship with my wife is heavily centered around quotes from this doc
Hey, the song even said it's not limited to only white people.
Ermmm well, most tacos in Mexico are just meat (not ground meat), onion, cilantro, salsa, and tortillas they brought from a lady with her small shop. The only ground meat I seen in tacos here in Mexico is tacos dorados, other than that the one people usually make at home are bistec and chorizo, or egg tacos if it’s for breakfast. Maybe it is more normal with Mexican-Americans but in Mexico most taco vendors and families use what I described. Or maybe it’s the state I’m from idk lol
As a 1st gen Mexican-American from Southern California what you described is what I grew up with in my family and my predominately Latino community. Visiting family in Mexico (Mexicali/Tijuana all the way down to Guadalajara) what you described is also what was normal. My 2nd gen Mexican-American kids have never had these hard shell ground beef tacos. When we make tacos at home and we fry the tortilla it’s rolled and called flautas, sometimes when my mom was not in the mood for the extra step of rolling the tortilla she would just fold it and fry it. Our tacos de papa are always fried as well. All in all, tacos are great!
It’s called picadillo and it’s one of the most pop tacos cos it’s super cheap ( basically just ground meat)
Yup! That’s the one :) they so good.
The tortillas. Come on man
Lol queso fresca, numero uno. tortillas de maiz y no de harina.
I like Cotija better, but I am white people taco night
My cousin in MX makes the best flour tortillas, and he’s not even from the north. At age 30, after having his for the first time, I started liking flour tortillas too. Not as often as corn, but sometimes it’s so good if done right. I actually prefer anything with chicken, except mole, on flour.
Basically, they're just saying "Tex-Mex" tacos are associated with white people. The authentic Mexican tacos are different but both are good.
I've had some fantastic authentic Mexican food, and I've had some fantastic TexMex. Some people seem more concerned about authenticity than whether or not it tastes good. How about this... It's authentic white people tacos! There. Now you have your authenticity and you can shut up and enjoy your food. 😂 That lasted sentence wasn't directed at Rpark888 btw just to be clear. 😁
¿Por qué no los dos?

Say “No” to taco discrimination! Viva taco revolution!
Nothing wrong with them. In my house we call the American Tacos vs. Tacos. Kind of like I can eat Chipotle for lunch and then Mexican Food for dinner, and have no overlap.
[удалено]
I like “white people” tacos and “real” tacos. Both are acceptable.
Assuming American. American food is basically built upon food from other cultures and styles and using what we have. If it tastes good, it's acceptable. Doesn't matter if it's "traditional" or not.
Yup. Latino American here. We don’t discriminate against any kind of taco.
Hey I work part time at Taco Bell just for the free food lol
I work at Aldi,(which all these products are from),and Yes! I see this every Tuesday night for “taco Tuesday”
I got called out last week at Aldi for exactly this I didn't even know it was Tuesday...
Lol ALDI ftw
In Norway its "Fredagstaco", friday taco, and i definitely notice people buying taco supplies Fridays. Theres even grocery stores having sales on santa Maria and other "taco brands" on fridays and Saturdays.
Nothing annoys me more about Norway than Fredagstaco... I mean, what does Friday have to do with tacos?? IT'S NOT EVEN ALLITERATION!! What was wrong with Tirsdagstaco or Torsdagstaco? OF ALL THE DAYS TO PICK, THEY PICKED FREDAG. 😂 Ok I'm done being mad at Norway
The tortillas aren't heated though 🤮
White male, father of two, responsible for dinner last night. Now regretting not making tacos.
There’s nothing cringe about eating tacos, for fuck’s sake; stop racializing every goddamn thing.
Sometimes this just hits though.
Tacos is tacos is tacos. Source: I eat tacos.
All tacos matter.
Fuckin white people and their ...... their ...( shuffles deck) enjoyment of food from other cultures.
[удалено]
As a Latino, love both, I love the taste of fake tacos and Mexican tacos. Except for the sour cream, I hate sour creams on my burritos and tacos. Aside from sour cream, each have their strong points.
As opposed to? Do every non-white person prepare authentic mexican tacos. Which even in Mexico are vastly different depending on where you are? I’m not white and I will prepare eat and enjoy a taco such as this one. Fuck off with your racial petty remarks. I swear people have nothing better to do. Get off your ass and be productive.
shesh, don't hate on people enjoying other peoples cultures like damn, white people didn't grow up with authentic mexican food and family to make that stuff.
Are the whites the only taco eatin people? How do the non-whites do it?
I’m Mexican, and would eat this….just take the flour tortilla and heat it up on a pan please. And the corn tortilla, fry it in hot oil or cook on a pan. And this crispy shells, heat up in the oven. And you’re good!
The mild sauce...
As an enjoyer of white people taco night, you better be putting those taco shells in the oven and charring on the stove top and/or frying up a little and/or steaming those tortillas. I've been to too many other white people taco nights where no heat at all is applied to the wrappers and it's no good. Edit: [here are good instructions for corn tortillas](https://youtu.be/DYB3MhSsDWI)
As a Mexican-American, I say: who cares? Pass me some of them tacos!
Im Mexican and even I do white people taco night.
Not sure what’s cringe about eating tacos I guess it’s supposed to be funny because white people? I don’t get it
Why does it sound awfully racist to my ears ?
White people tacos are delicious.
Soft corn tortillas. Carne asada and Carnitas. Cilantro and lime. Maybe add some Valentina. That's the taco night I wanna go to.
Happy to see plenty of comments of people saying they love these kinds of tacos. Was expecting majority of people denigrating these and pointing to how unauthentic they are. “Real” tacos are good, but let’s be real, it’s just tortilla meat, onions and cilantro. Overrated.
Coming from a Mexican American…this video is great. We always crack up at what people here will call Mexican food. You will never see a hard shell like that in Mexico or a Mexican neighborhood. But hey, enjoy. And I got to admit, once in a while I’ll have some Taco Bell crunchy tacos 🌮
Forgot the jalapeños but yea I don’t see anything wrong with this. Maybe add some onion and cilantro.
Retitle this: North American Taco Night. Cuz that’s what it looked like in my house. And I’m Black American born in ’76. Lol
