Tacos are Mexican.

You know what they had to do when they opened the first Taco Bell in Mexico City?
Give explanations for what all these things were.
Tacos (as sold in America) are an American remix of some regional Mexican food that Mexicans know from being introduced to them by Americans.

Im Mexican, it still throws me off when I order a taco somewhere and it’s crunchy. Soft tacos ftw

Lebanese roots, right. But a taco is far enough away to be considered it’s own cuisine.

The above commenter didn't read the article they posted. Al pastor, the specific type of meat used for Tacos al pastor, are Lebanese in origin. Tacos predate the Spanish conquest.

I didn’t read it either and I didn’t know that . That’s awesome

Read the article more closely. Tacos al pastor (which is just a type of filling) have immigrant roots. Tacos as a concept are Mexican and predate them by centuries.

I'm just saying, they had help from another culture. It's all good.

One specific filling did. Not tacos as a whole. Your comment is misleading
