How are they not Mexican? Your image even proves the point I was going to make, but now don't need to. The Birria taco, supposedly around since the 1600s, is a Mexican invention according to all history of mexican cuisine.
The birria taco is a hard shelled taco.
Thus hard shelled tacos are, in fact, Mexican. These are no different from Taco Bell and Del Taco except that they have shredded meat typically instead of identical but ground meat.
>The birria taco is a hard shelled taco
Just say you don’t know what you’re talking about and move on.
its because white liberals try to make mexican food out to be some sort of exotic food despite its roots in spanish conquest of the area so they coined the term Tex Mex completely ignorant of the fact Texas and California were part of Mexico.
holy mother of all redditspacing....
redditspacing is such a desperate meme, imagine thinking paragraphing is somehow beneath you
>The birria taco is a hard shelled taco.
That's fucking wrong. It's a soft, flour shell that's grilled.
cause mexicans are communists
>food from former northern territories of Mexico isn't Mexican
You uhh don't look at old maps much, huh?
>real mexicans
cant afford fast food
>white people
dont like mexican food
>homosexuals who complain about a lack of authentic mexican restaurants
basement dwellers who only eat frozen meals and mcdonalds
I think there is simply no need when there are good Mexican spots on every corner in my city. Why would I even go to Taco Bell or del taco when Tacos El Compita #2 is cheaper and better in every way? There is no need to franchise, as the market is already tapped by Roberto’s, Rigoberto’s, Fernando’s, Tacos Goku, Ranchero Burritos, etc.
>tacos goku
It’s true. There’s an old mexican lady selling godlike food out of my local BP. She’s needs her own resturant.

also normal ma/pa hood taquerias in my expensive metro area have near doubled prices in less than ten years and have suffered massive shrinkflation
Mexicans are not attracted to chains
We believe that the guy doing the cooking is a very important part of how food gets its flavor, unless you clone the guy there is not way of maintaining the taste that made your place famous to begin with.
Thus, most places only have one location, with only a few branching out into two or three locations, usually managed by very close friends or family. Trying to achieve a standardized level of flavor a tase among manny locations is impossible under this way of thinking.
Lots of Mexican places basically are fast food, and a ton of them are chains. The place I usually go to literally has a drive-thru, and there are like 15 other locations throughout the state.
Tacos el gordo is definitely mexican
taco cabana is tex mex, and has gone downhill drastically the past 5 years.
does taco bueno count?
El rinconsito is greasy as fuck but bomb.
>t. Washington born
It's hard af to find a good Mexican spot in buttfuck Florida, where I live now
there are no food chains because gringos believe in ERPs, ESG quotas, SAT, legal status and whatever holllywood tells them is mexican. So when you see a guy who wants to start a chain he gets flooded with all this shit and stops being mexican
>no, you cannot use lard
>is a business wise decision to outsource to india your laborers and customer service
>it's too Hispanicy, also, please stop usingmayo, most of our clients in palisades think is gross to eat eggs with oil
el pollo loco, del taco, and chipotle had these issues
>founded in Mexico by a Mexican
OP get fucked
Roast chicken seems to be the only thing that gets franchised in Mexico, maybe because it is just charcoal and chicken
It's just chicken so what
>It's just chicken
So is KFC
La taquiza in L.A was really big back in the day, but couldn't get franchised due to hand made tortillas
>too good too franchise
Based. I watch a lot of those “history of x resturant” videos and they always go downhill after franchising too aggressively.
Founded by a Mexican in Mexico
there are too many mexicans around
fast food is for people who don't know better
I had birrias with my gf the other day it wasn't bad but not great either
Mexicans come here because they hate Mexican food.
No they come here because they know Americans are obsessed with Mexican food hence why everyone was obsessed with birria tacos and if you look at who is putting them in social media the majority of whites. Easy money for beaners
all across the southwest there are regional chains with pretty authentic mexican 'fastfood' ive seen some here or there that have 30+ stores across an entire state and beyond. some cities will have the same restuatunt in like 10 locations across the city and another 5 across neighboring towns
There are. They all end in 'ertos and pretty much taste the same.
Seriously though there are way too many stand alone Mexican places to even try a real chain, not to mention all the food trucks. Competition is just too heavy
