  Completely glancing over the fact that there is exactly zero Mexican items at Taco Bell. Everything there is some kinda bastardized American Midwest slop. I think the only actual Spanish on the memo is “gordita” which loosely translates into fat bitch, which seems fitting.

    Ehhh… “gordita” does not translate to “Fat Bitch” but “Little Faty”…

      And real gorditas are nothing like the taco bell version. They’re more like an arepa or really thick tortilla split down the middle and stuffed with meat.

        As an Arepa enjoyer, that sounds tasty!

      But little fatty is just a pure translation. It actually just means something closer to “thick” as in “that tortilla is a little thick”…“esa tortilla esta gordita…hey! Ya se! Porque no les ponemos “gorditas”! Vale?” "Orale compadre, entonces ya quedamos, son gorditas! Son o estan? Son! Luego que tal si algun pendejo en China No’s traduce a estan y empiesan a discriminar? No no, son gorditas. Okay pies, entonces so gorditas y ya OK? Ok! Porque cabrones dices OK? Quiero decir que estoy de acuerdo contigo. Today la genre dice okay!

        I feel proud of myself that I understood a little more than half of this.

    Taco Bell sells tacos that are reasonably close to Mexican street tacos. Obviously not as good, but it’s a small soft tortilla with fillings, that’s what you get in Mexico too.

    Burritos are also Mexican, though they’re not as common across the whole country as tacos. The modern burrito comes from Ciudad Juarez right on the border with Texas.

    Most of the rest of the Taco Bell menu isn’t authenitcally Mexican, but I’d say their core menu items are tacos and burritos.

      I agree with you slightly on the burrito, but I don’t think you’ve ever had a legit taco if you think Taco Bell is “reasonably close”. The legit tacos I had look like some one used the tortilla as a method of grabbing meat with onions and shit sprinkled on as an afterthought. (Not trying to insult you or sound combative, this is just how I talk)

        I have relatives in Mexico, I visit regularly and we go for tacos all the time. There are lots of varieties of different kinds of tacos. Meat-stuffed tacos are not the norm in Mexico. Most of them only have a little meat and a lot of sauce. That’s what allows them to be sold incredibly cheaply. You can easily get a dozen tacos from the taco stand on the corner for what one taco will cost at taco bell. Because they’re so cheap, you can get a lot of variety from just one visit: suadero, lengua, carnitas, etc.

        Taco Bell isn’t as good, and the flavours aren’t completely authentic, but it still obviously a taco. When my cousin visits Canada/USA he prefers to get burritos (from Chipotle) because he can’t get them where he lives in Mexico and he loves them. He doesn’t get tacos because they’re tacos, and he can get much better ones in Mexico.

  That’s a very specific venezuelan insult. Nothing to do with Mexicans

    Lo sé, soy venezolano. I used it to remark that Spanish is not just Mexican.

      Ah! No! They said Mexican! You and I we both speak that. Don’t you back out on me now!

    (Mama = Suck) + (Güevo->Huevo = Egg/Testicles/Male Genitalia) = Ball Sucker / Dick Sucker
