Your mom's taco was pretty crunchy last night.

real mexican tacos are soft.
keep that in mind, soyboy retard.

Not quite as soft as your mom's poontang.

As a Mexican, none of us care. This sort of gayness is reserved entirely for legal born kids of immigrants

>AUTHENTIC
authentic food is the dumbest meme, if it was so good why did anyone feel the need to improve it and why did it it catch on and become more popular then the authentic version

>>12620929
Why do you think any change is an improvement?

My personal taco shell tier:
1. Soft flour
2. Fried flour
3. Fried/crunchy corn
4. Soft corn (only if nothing else is available)

classic

I wouldn't even call them tacos at all honestly. They're like corn chip sandwiches.
Genuine, soft tacos have history going back thousands of years.
Hard shell was invented by Taco Bell in the 1960s because they were inspired by McDonald's to mass produce cheap pre-formed shells to dole out as much low quality slop as possible assembly line style.
It's a lot like people asking why La Choy isn't real soy sauce.

>why did it it catch on and become more popular then the authentic version
Unsurprisingly since Glen Bell has gone on the record as saying he was inspired by McDonald's when he came up with the idea for pre-formed shells, the answer to your question is it's assembly line mass production.
Same reason McDonald's is more popular than some high quality fine dining restaurant.
Do you think McDonald's is some of the highest quality food around because of how much it's consumed and how many locations they have?

because most mexican food was grisly rodent carcasses and nasty half burn/half under cooked corn wrappers with hot peppers to drowned out the flavor of rancid meat. There is nothing authentic about authentic mexican, its just a retarded meme for hipsters that like to feel important because they're eating the "real version"

>There is nothing authentic about authentic mexican
Are you literally retarded?

>>12621331
are you saying real taco's aren't mass produced slop

>>12621349
>Do you think McDonald's is some of the highest quality food around
nobody ever said it was, but its popular because its what people actually want. Do you really think McD's would be a popular chain if they sold nasty meme half cooked meatball burgers like you see all over /ck/... no they wouldn't, nobody buys those except tourists ironically getting it to laugh at what they think Americans actually eat

>>12622140
you realize ever house on the block cooks their meal unique to how the prefer it or how they were taught to cook it, there is more variation in a single town in mexico then there is in every "authentic" mexican restaurant in America.

Americans getting mad about authentic food would be more convincing if they didn't make shitfits about chilis, chicago pizza and whatever.

Spicy Indian curry isn't authentic curry. Chilis aren't native to Asia.

It's like when italians bitch about inauthentic carbonara. Authentic carbonara is just trash.

>>12622221
Are you saying tacos are trash?
