Tacos are functionally a type of sandwhich which consists of ingredients inside of a tortilla
Tex-mex tacos are legitimate, the only difference is that they use ingredients favoured by english/french cuisine, as opposed to ingredients favoured by spanish/portuegese cuisine.

a good mexican taco is pure like a steak. Marinated meat, lime juice, fresh corn tortillas, the last one i had had diced cucumber but you could go onions or whatev for crunch.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Taco, is in fact, a method of consumption, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, a way of eating. Tacos are not a dish unto itself, but rather another method of consuming a fully complete dish made edible without tools by the tortilla, sauces and condiments comprising a full meal as defined by traditional food culture.
Many Mexicans eat a modified version of a taco every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of tacos which is widely consumed today is often referred to as a separate dish, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the taco method of eating, developed by the pre-Columbian civilizations. There really is a taco, and these people are eating it, but it is just a way of consuming the dish they are eating.
Taco is the delivery system: the act of putting ingredients in a tortilla, folding it, and using that instead of a spoon or fork to take it to your mouth. The guisado is an essential part of every meal, but useless by itself; it can only be consumed via the use of a manipulation and transportation tool. Tortillas are normally used in combination with the rest of the meal: the whole system is basically a dish with tortillas on the side, or a complete meal. All the so-called “Tacos” are really normal dishes on a tortilla.

I am as mexican as they come, but I will never understand the point of these posts, are people supposed to be amazed? They are sure tasty, and it takes some skill to produce the volumes of tacos taquerias sell every minute (the guy in your video is pretty slow, tho), but it is not exactly an elegant process, nor out of the ordinary. And I believe this stance is what generates the most conflict, Americans have some strange obsession with the most simple Mexican dishes (I've seen tutorials for basic quesadillas, as if Cheese + Taco is some high art), with complete unawareness of what tacos really are; fast food. And when insecure chic*nos try to defend "their" motherland they also seem to be blinded and feel as if they had to portrait even the most mundane activities of Mexico.

Although, if you find yourself in an area where there are many competing restaurants that serve the same ethnic food, then odds are a few of them are bound to actually be good.
