Yeah, I know. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Taco Bell is arguably the biggest force behind the rampant Americanization...hell, let's just call it what it is...the dumbing down of Mexican food. Now they, like
Taco Time, have their version of street tacos, except they're calling them "
cantina tacos". Bull muffins. If you wrap two corn tortillas around a little pile of meat, onion and cilantro, you're trying to emulate street tacos. At least
Taco Time had the cojones to use the name.
Believe it or not I actually dig Taco Time to an extent, but I don't trick myself into believing it's Mexican food. The
crisp "burritos" are a particular weakness of mine. That having been said, their "street tacos" are absolutely horrible (you can read more of my thoughts
here). And now, a potentially similar abomination threatens from their bigger, meaner cousin. And though I should know better, once again I fell victim to my own morbid curiosity...
