Sounds a lot like Canada, where most people’s exposure to “Mexican food” is Taco Bell. Welcome to the club.
My distaste for Tacos comes down to the fact I don’t like crunchy foods that shatter, and especially so when they run the risk of being messy. I mean, I can handle a gooey messy burger just fine, but that’s because it doesn’t shatter when I bite into it. Tacos hit both those pain points. Give me Arroz con Pollo any day, I absolutely love it. And yes, the only place I can get this is from Rancho Chico south of the border in Washington state.
Which means it’s a no-go until America overthrows the current authoritarian ChristoFascist administration. Because they won’t allow themselves to be legitimately voted out of power. Soooo… possibly a decade or more until I can eat there again, assuming America doesn’t invade Canada in the meantime.
Kind of depends on where you are in Canada. If you’re in the middle or out east, shit is pretty bleak. Being closer to California (aka, former Mexican territory) helps a lot.
Further you get from Mexico, the harder it is to find the right ingredients and people who know what decent Mexican food tastes like.
The funny thing is, hard shells aren't authentic. That's an American thing. Soft tortillas are authentic, maybe cooked just a little on the stove.
I agree, hard tacos are a mess. I don't understand why they exist. The texture is fine, but it'd be better as something in the taco, not as the container.
You can make tacos at home too by the way. They're a very simple food, and you just use whatever protein you want and whatever additions you feel like. It's like a sandwich. You can't go wrong. You just use what you have/want.
