Hotdogs! (Formerly Tacos!)

[wombat]

I am pretty sure I remember the place in Santa Barbara offering beans on tacos as well, and the New York Times backs me up:

Locals argue endlessly about the city’s best taco joint. Julia Child threw her weight behind La Super Rica (622 North Milpas Street; 805-963-4940), ensuring perpetual lines for its homemade tortillas filled with everything from pork and cheese ($3.40) to spicy ground beans ($2.75).

I mean, conceptually, how could there not be tacos with beans? Mexicans eat tortillas, they eat beans, and poor people can't afford meat most of the time, the idea of putting beans in tacos is an inevitable consequence.

Doc, do not try to fight the gameyness.  That was my mistake.  There is no fighting gamey meat.  Either celebrate it or do not go there.

I like gamey meat, Roo Roast is freaking delicious. I'm just not sure if gamey tacos are a good idea.

I like Moe's!  Go on Monday and you get a burrito chips and drink for $5!  They have fresh cilantro and fresh jalepenos!  You can get tofu!  They have the little sauce bar with the green sauce!

Like I should give a crap if it's authentic.  It's GOOD.

I ain't knowing for a Moes, one way or the other, but inauthentic stuff is sometimes awesome.

Baja Fresh isn't authentic at all but a lot of Mexican people in Angeles loved it.

They'd say "Oh, it isn't Mexican at all but it is still great."

all's i'm sayin' is i get my tacos outside texas and on occasion there exist such as beans among the fillers

Baja Fresh beats the ##### off of Moe's.  I will fuck*ng FIGHT people over this if necessary.

Baja Fresh is the berries. I like it way better than Chipotle

Baja Fresh used to have a taco with peppers, onions, and cheese, and if you asked them to leave the meat off, you got something that made you believe that someone who worked somewhere in that company actually might have eaten some Mexican food once, at least in Southern California.  And for a while they had an enchilada with an actual red chili sauce. But they have demonstrated an uncanny accuracy in selecting exactly these almost real foods to take off the menu permanently or to change to the point that they're unrecognizable, like they did with the giraffe taco.

He never disappoints us by containing beans, that's for sure.

What is the problem with beans, people?

Is it because beans are not authentic or some lame ass thing like that or that you do not like them?

'Cause if you don't like beans, well then whatever, I will put them inside or along side of that folded tortilla delicious delivering device I call a taco. And you may not.

But if it's some strict constructionist thing about what is and what is not a taco?

Riiiiiight

It's odd, I can't remember the last time I've had a taco.  I just always end up getting burritos or enchiladas.  My personal favorite is a local place that puts enchilada sauce right in the California burrito.  This is in no way authentic.  This is in every way awesome.

I take it back, I've had "street tacos" around here.  They're pretty awesome.  They're like a mini sampler platter, just for you.

I went to a Moe's during a visit home to Alabama and ordered a carne asada burrito.  The man across the counter looked at me and said, "You mean steak?"  I was very confused, especially since the man had been speaking Spanish to the other people he worked with.

Pedro tells me that "carne asada" is a generic term for "grilled meat," depending, of course, on dialect.
