I unironically believe that amaricanized tacos like this are way better than those weird Mexican street tacos that you get from some sketchy food truck in California. The texture is far better, I love that crunch. There also aren’t autistic rules about only topping them with cilantro and onion. Everyone in real life agrees with me, everyone on here disagrees. What gives?

[Anonymous No.11719384]

I mean, look at it. Just look! There is no comparison.

[Anonymous No.11719387]

I don't disagree at all.

So are you admitting to being a tastlet that is delusional enough to claim that all tacos aren’t good in general, no matter the style? What the fuck is wrong with you?

americanized mexican and tex/mex are far superior foods than "authentic" mexican. Authentic mexican food is pretty sloppy, and really lacking in proper seasoning...also corn tortillas aren't fit to serve dogs.

[Anonymous No.11719421]

Gotta love these forced double-contrarian opinions being posted all the fucking time for no reason. It's almost like this is just a board for shitposting, and no discussion of actual cooking or recipes ever happen because 4chan is compromised.

Those "street tacos" are americanized, tacos in Mexico are very simple. You sound like you have no idea what you are talking about. This is a cooking board, but idiots like you have turned it into a "shut-ins jerking each other off over fast food" board.

They're completely different foods IMO. both are great

I like both but I realize that I enjoy the Tacobellesque tacos because that's what i ate as a child from fast food. They taste good because much of it was being hungry and enjoying them when you are young and the psychological impact of that enjoyment stays with you. It's how all objectively horrible things taste great. Like twinkies, McDonalds, Root Beer, spam. etc.

Now i want a taco supreme. thanks.

But most of those (excluding Spam) are engineered to be objectively delicious by food scientists.

Tacos are a meme. I'd rather have a burrito so the meat doesn't fall out everytime I bite into it

[Anonymous No.11719684]

all marketing

you think anyone would give a shit about something called folded quesadilla?

[Anonymous No.11719690]

>>11719665
Yeah, they're optimized by scientists....but that's meaningless when they're saddled with shit-tier ingredients.

Even an inept home cook can do much better with minimal effort.

[Anonymous No.11719709]

I actually prefer the Americanized versions. He's wrong because he thought the American street tacos were "weird mexican food" when actual mexican tacos are more similar to the shitty flyover tacos his mommy made for him in Idaho growing up.

[Anonymous No.11719733]

>>11719690
you're saying an inept home cook is going to make an objectively better tasting chicken sandwich than Chick fil A if they have high quality ingredients. Do you think ja/ck/ could make a better fry than Mcdicks?

[Anonymous No.11719961]

OP here. I am actually a Mexican American who has grown up eating “Americanized” hard shell tacos. There is nothing wrong with them, in my opinion they are just better than street tacos. I’ve tried a lot of the meats, lengua, carnitas, adobada, whatever. They just aren’t as good. Don’t automatically assume I don’t know what I’m talking about simply because I prefer the superior taco.

[Anonymous No.11719976]

I'm not assuming you're telling me.

First of all, learn to type with some punctuation so I can understand what you are trying to say. You seem like a complete idiot. Also, I don’t live in Idaho, that was another very strange assumption. I live in Pueblo Colorado. This is a place that grows better chili than you have ever had in your life. I’m assuming this only because you so rudely assumed things about me, asshole. Americanized tacos always and forever!

Taco Bell operates with like six ingredients total and yet somehow constantly pushes the boundaries of Mexican cuisine.

These are a specially chosen meats cooked a certain way to be cooked in big batches and be delicious with just little onion and cilantro
>>11719375
This is ground beef cooked with a spice packet put in a weird tortilla you got from a box. You cover it in cheese, lettuce, and other stuff to make it less boring.

Coasties can seethe all they want over their overpriced ""authentic"" food. Us comfy "flyover" authentic Americans actually get the best food.

[Anonymous No.11720060]

>>11720035
If the “authentic” tacos are specially seasoned meats meant to be served and tasty with only a bit of onion and cilantro, why do I see everyone drowning the fuckers in lime juice and salsa. Sometimes they even eat radish or pickled carrots and jalapeño after each bite! It’s like they use them as a chaser to get the taste out of there mouth or some shit. Jesus, you are supposed to be eating a delicious taco, not taking a shot of bottom shelf vodka. Why the need for a chaser? Defend your opinion. I need a good laugh.

[Anonymous No.11720140]

>>11719375
They suck not cause of what's in them, but because of the hard shell. Take one bite and the whole fuckin thing falls apart. No thanks. I've made americanized tacos with soft flour or corn tortillas and theyre way better. Hard shells are for idiots.

[Anonymous No.11720141]

Not sure who said you lived in Idaho but it wasn't me. I might seem like an idiot, but making a thread to argue about fast food on a cooking board and misspelling chile is proof positive that you are.

We also have shitty food here, too.

I’m not trying to argue about fast food. I’m not sure why everyone is associate my original picture with Taco Bell. Perhaps you are eating too much fast food yourself? Anyways, Chile is a country. Chili is a food or pepper depending on context.

Taco food trucks aren't really a California thing, considering there's a taqueria within a mile or two of wherever you are, even in the boonies.

Yeah I was just using it for an example. These food trucks are starting to pop up everywhere.

Starting to pop up? Food trucks have been super trendy for like 10 years. When did that gook make mexikorean abomination tacos from a filthy truck? I think that was 10 years ago.

[Anonymous No.11720515]

>>11720494
Yeah, I moved to PDX in 2003 for school and that's when I first saw the food truck craze, but PDX was definitely ahead of the curve. 10 years before that food trucks definitely were a thing, but they pretty much just went to construction sites (at least where I grew up) during lunch hour, and you'd see one or two at popular beaches or tourist spots.

I understand Americans adapting food to their palates as they don't handle strong spices very well, but putting yellow cheese and sour cream on unseasoned minced meat is just horrible.

[Anonymous No.11720831]

>>11720816
Don’t tell OP. Also saying “Americans don’t handle spices very well” is silly considering american is not a race and there are literally Americans from across the globe.
