Mexican food is the one thing that fast food restaurants do better than Mexico. I’m not gonna travel to another country for something I will enjoy less than a Chalupa from Taco Bell.

>4 hour drive
>for a taco
When do we nuke urbanites?

>>16231679
Man, if I'm going to TJ, i ain't going for some fuckin tacos. I'm going to Hong Kong

Drive from LA to San Diego border crossing on the 5 in two-ish hours? This guy has no fucking clue what he's talking about.

I'm not driving all the way to Tj for diarrhea when I have a taco bell 2 miles away that has actual cleanliness standards and tastes better.

>>16231679
LA to the border takes like 3 hours with no traffic
Even if it only took 1, I'm not going to drive an hour for tacos

>this... this five hour taco drive is MY privilege
these people are whacko

>>16231679
Love Mexican food. Went to Mexico. Tasted the exact same as the stuff I get in Minnesota.

I live in San Diego. Tacos are overrated. Find me a good deli. Please.

>>16231679
No. That's why they are still alive to post here and not chopped up in a motel bathtub.

>the best x comes from y
Such a tired, old trope. Sure, maybe the best Chicago-style pizza I've had has come from Chicago, but the best NY-style pizza I've had came from a flyover state, the best tacos I've had came from a completely missable hole in the wall in Oregon, and I had better catfish in the Atlantic NE than I ever had in the south. Just because a dish originates from an area doesn't mean all examples from that place are the be-all, end-all of the dish.

>>16231884
Agreed, except for when it comes to cheese steaks.

>>16231712
That joke is getting old.

Tacos didn't originate in Tijuana though

now that you mention it, in all my years of lurking i don't think i have ever seen tacos mentioned once here

>>16231943
yeah but the reason they drive all the way to mexico is because it's the original country at least. what a meme.

>dude indians make the best indian food!

most indians ironically cook sloppa shits and half the time I'd rather have my future poo be made by a high IQ white boi

>>16231855

posters here just overlooking the most correct post in the thread right now. i enjoy tacos just fine but holy shit people need to get real, they're not some fantastical food item.

This statement is the reason why people go to Tijuana for food. Birria was invented in Jalisco but people flock to Tijuana to taste something that was perfected outside the place of origin. The same reason why Americans there as well

>>16231695
"Mexican restaurants" teds Mexican tequilaria doesn't count faggot

>simple ass thing you can LITERALLY make at home in minutes and make it taste the same if not better
>nooooooo its not "authentic"
fuck foodie hipsters.

>>16232056
>moving the goalpost
No one said there isn't authentic tacos in LA, brainlet.

>>16231679
>drives 5 minutes to rubio's in your path
heh, nothin personnel

>>16231679
oh, I'm sorry I haven't visited Tijuana where even my psychotic 6' terminator looking mexican friend hates going and thinks he's going to get kidnapped riding the local shuttle buses.

do they really have places in Tijuana where you can watch a donkey fuck a woman?

>>16231679
>voluntarily living in L.A.
>voluntarily going to Mexico
BUT THE TAAAACOOOOS
jesus christ

What, you dont like women or what?

>>16232146
>Pays $6 for single taco
First time I unironically say this but white Americans suck balls

>>16231712
Based. I went here for my bachelor party

>two hour drive for food
why would anyone go that far out of their way for food? I mean it's just food, it can only be so good

Reminder that there is no such thing as a soft taco. Those are wraps or burritos. Tacos only have crunchy shell

Mexican food cooked in Mexico is actually super bad lol. Idk how they fucked that up. Corn tortillas are ass and their tacos fuckin suck. Would unironically rather have a Doritos supreme from Taco Faggot than some cow tongue wrapped in 30 corn tortillas.

Javier is a Hollywood club regular and this is his cover story.

>>16232428
I went there once on a bender. Ended up getting head from a fat stripper while she got her asshole eaten out by her friend

>>16231679
Fuck no, I'm staying right here where it's relatively safe.

>>16232559

>>16231679
>four hour round trip for pleb-tier street food
Where did California go so wrong?

>>16231679
>taco capital of the world
>not in the USA
I'm not even american, but everyone knows they beat the fuck out of mexico at tacos

Ahh, just a relaxing 35 hour drive (one way) to get genuine tacos.

>>16231695
Literally retarded

>>16232812
Not just California but the US in general drive hours to eat there.

>>16231695
taco bell is not mexican food you retard. it's fusion. it's not comparable.

>>16232559
It's ok anon, I'm your friendly neighborhood neighbor. I'll cook you food uwu

My daughter LOVED those tacos. God rest her soul

>>16231679
I'm australian and went to tijuana once, the food was shit and the city was shit. I did find a bar with $20 all you can drink and got fucking wasted. I also had some sketchy looking dude escort me to an atm to "make sure I was safe" and thats all he did, didn't even ask for any money. Cheers mexibro, hope you still have your head

I used to go there every month when I live in San Diego. There was a food truck that would make aguachile with soy sauce, chiltepin and other black sauces. I miss it bros

>>16232383

>>16233393
>>16232911
Braindead liberal world citizen libniggers thinking food is good if it's authentic have fun with your brain parasite and dysentery, idiotas gringos.

>>16231679

I actually value my life

>>16232011
Americans go to Tijuana to fuck 12 year old Mexican whores, smoke crack and escape from their wife divorcing them.

>>16231679
They're called LA Holes for a reason
