According to pretty much all the polls, Hispanic voters (recent immigrants now citizens and those born here as well) really really REALLY don’t like Donald Trump. Seems unlikely that taco truck owners would be an exception to the rule.
Hey, I thought Apprentice was the most vile indictment of everything we’re supposed to hate but my minority friends thought it was high entertainment right up there with Jerry Springer, their other favorite.
Taco truck to me, doesn’t mean delicious food everywhere we want it. It means the middle class becoming the foot massuers of the rich because libertarianism.
I saw some guy who they said was Trumps Evangelical Latino Outreach guy, or some such. Which had me wondering: “Evangelical” is usually Protestant, yes? So, should they take that to mean that Trump approves of non-Catholic Latinos specifically? Oh, wait, forgot the “Doesn’t have a clue” option…
The chili-spiced ground beef (plus chopped veggies & grated cheddar) in crunchy corn taco shells are Tex-Mex. Invented by folks of Mexican ancestry living in Texas. (Then there are the fried Tacos Dorados found in San Antonio–where they’ve been cooking “Mexican Food” since before the Alamo fell.)
But soft corn or flour tortillas wrapped around a variety of fillings may be found throughout Mexico. And in most of the USA.
Burritos. A couple of my Mexican acquaintances told me the other day that if you tried to order a burrito in Mexico, you’d get a confused look from the person taking your order. (I’m guessing you can get a burrito in Mexico, but the point was that it was not a traditional Mexican food item, but started out in the US.)
Wikipedia finds a burrito served in Guanajuato–sounds more like a taco.
Then the development of the modern burrito is traced–mostly in California. Large flour tortillas are necessary, being flexible enough to wrap around large quantities of filling. Flour tortillas are mostly found in Northern Mexico & the Southwestern USA.
