oh man, I really don't like crispy tacos at all. I dont' get it.

I was never a big fan, but working at a mexican place I realized that making hard tacos was what I screwed up the most. For some reason I always put too much stuff, or accidentally crunched the shell, etc.

Also, all of our tacos had beans in them.

I guess there's always gonna be an exception that proves the rule.  You say all of the tacos have beans in them?  So if someone orders a beef taco it has beans in it too?  Must have been a cheap ass restaurant trying to stretch the taco meat.  Was this a vegetarian restaurant?

You worked at Moe's, right? They don't strike me as particularly "authentic." They strike me as, "One step up from Taco Bell."

But then, I don't really like Mexican/Tex-Mex anyway, so what do I know?

A lot of people are calling bullshit on that tostada.


Ok, got that out of the way.

Even taco bell doesn't put beans in their tacos.

oh, yeah, Moe's totally sucks. Everything about that business bugged me.

Mostly that you could have any meat for the same price, but adding LETTUCE made the burrito cost more. this made people SO MAD. Why would you ever price things in this way?? People are used to getting that kind of stuff for free.

Can I just say that I am amused that a conversation about tacos veered toward talking about ladies private parts, then right back on topic?  You people kill me!

Also, I am fairly certain the meat-like filling in Taco Bell tacos has plenty of soy based meat-like stuff added.

There, there wombat.  I believe you.  I will not go to Santa Barbara to find out, but it sounds delicious.  There, there.

I ain't never purchased a thing called a taco that contained beans.

I've eaten in a lot of fake white-people Mexican restaurants, a lot of authentic Mexican restaurants and more than a few that blur the line and...

I have never bought something called a taco that has beans in it.

I'm not saying that I think beans in a taco-like configuration would be bad, necessarily, but it would not fit the nomenclature of "taco" as I understand it.

I make bastard tacos at home regularly, they come in a packet and I add ground beef, cheese, shredded lettuce and tomatoes. There are crispy ones and soft ones, I prefer the soft ones.

All this talking about gamey meat though has made me think I should try a Roo taco, I think I'd need to cut it with something as above though because it's a pretty strong flavour, or load it down with cheese.

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:

Quote
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.
