Get David Icke on this. I am not 100% sure these aren't lizard people masquerading as :ese:

They claim to be Mexican-French cuisine. The Tacos are said, on the van but not on JustEat, to be French-Style Tacos. I believe this to be absolute bullshit.

Proper tex mex is pretty amazing so I can understand people getting angry about it. But at the end of the day, a taco or burrito is just an edible food wrapper so you can eat wet things with your hands and you can go some pretty magical places with a tortilla if you start thinking about what else you could randomly stuff in one.

Arguable; AFAIK America still has them beat.

So, a little while back I made a post about a strange Taco van in my area. I did not post a trip report because I hadn't had it.

Then I had it, ate it, and uploaded the photos.



This was the simple, unassuming package that was delivered to me. I had ordered several others for friends but this one was mine.
I obviously went for the Chicken Nugget one because how the gently caress could I not.



This is what it looked like. Now, I may be just some Englishman, with a large ocean between me and one of the nations supposedly involved in this product, and a small channel between the other, but that looks like precisely zero tacos I have ever seen before. General consensus was that it was a strange burrito. Those with more knowledge may inform me otherwise tho', for all I know this is a standard of French-Mexican cuisine.

Be warned, from hereon are pictures of the inside of the "Taco" and they aren't pretty. Not super gross but still.



Yup. That definitely is a chicken nugget in there. It's been a lil' while since I ate it but I think I can see a Jalapeno in there too. But the weirdest thing?



There were French Fries in it. Just kinda chilling in there. Didn't add a whole lot to the thing.

Overall verdict? Not exactly fine dining but if I was shitfaced and nearby, I would not turn my nose up at this strange effort in street food. It tasted better than I was expecting, but then again that wasn't hard.

Sorry if this wasn't up to the standards of Trip Reports, long time reader and all that.

Anyway, that reminded me of this song.

Hotly contested "fattest industrialized nation" title swaps back and forth between :911: and :mexico: on the regular, but Nauru, Federated States of Micronesia, Cook Islands, and Tonga laugh at the puny obesity rates of North America.

I have never seen HFCS in anything in Mexico. They do just fine drinking soda and eating pastries made with actual sugar.

Yeah, San Diego goon here. The California burrito is ubiquitous and probably the greatest food on Earth for the 2 am post-booze meal. I'm always weirded out when people think it's crazy. It's just potatoes in a burrito. Extra starch to sop up more hot sauce.

Yeah, same. I mean I don't go out of my way to get one, but they're pretty common throughout California.

Different people have different reactions to enzymes in fruit. There are legit people who wince and go "ow!" when eating fresh pineapple. Source: was on tour of pineapple farm with woman who had never had fresh pineapple before, and who had to rinse and spit vigorously after trying a bite. The rest of us looked on in :gonk:.

I get a sore mouth if I eat more than 2 kiwi fruit, but I don't know if that's because I'm being digested or maybe I'm a little allergic to them.
