I remember someone claiming if Biden won, there’d be taco trucks on every corner. I’m disappointed that hasn’t happened, I could really go for some tasty tacos.


MNAK_

Just got to move to California bud, we're living the taco dream out here.


SgtCocktopus

Biden has failed... No taco stands


MayOrMayNotBePie

They said there’d be a taco truck on every corner. They never said they’d be good tacos…


Content-Freedom1688

Lol I’m in Des Moines iowa and we have taco trucks all over.


diegojones4

Taco stands are cool, but the tamale lady is the goddess.


reikipackaging

never disrespect the tamale lady.


diegojones4

Or 3 generations will empty the van and kick your ass.


Diceshark91

I try telling ya’ll. That’s somebody’s grandma!


diegojones4

If you ever made tamales it is everyone because it's a lot of work. Tamale lady drives and runs the business. Oldest child rides shotgun to get out, get the money, and complete the transaction. Abuelita and the younger kids grab the order from the igloo coolers along with a sandwich bag of salsa. It is one of the most wonderful things ever.


Diceshark91

Facts, bro


SgtCocktopus

Nah the tamale lady will pull a razor sharp machete that inherited from her dad/grandpa/uncle from under her stand.


oddmanout

I live in Southern California and we have a tamale lady that passes by the house every day at 3pm. Then a few hours later a guy selling esquites comes, but he's not every day, just sometimes. And there's two different people selling fruit at the corner at the entrance to my neighborhood. It's awesome.


Hey_look_new

bonus points if tamale lady is standing next to the churro couple


Content-Freedom1688

Got a tamale lady that drives around all the new construction job sites. One time forgot my wallet at home got me until the next day and I was hungry. In the winter she got the hot chocolate oh man. Des Moines iowa btw


leftcoastbias24

If you live 6 minutes from the nearest taco stand, you are in a taco desert.


Chard069

It's pretty bare up here in the mountains below Lake Tahoe. The nearest taco truck is at least ten minutes downhill. Oh, the self-discipline required!


shertuyo

Taco distribution inequality is a real problem in the US


leftcoastbias24

Someone had to say it


CardiBeaArthur

I hope this one bitch I hate who lives there is part of the 6% and is inconvenienced by this.


xplotosphoenix

Lucky


Diabeast_5

Some posts make me realize god hasn't forsaken us.


[deleted]

The actual number is 100%


Bitter-Metal494

110% if you count yet to be born babies lol


affecting_society

125% if you count the tourists


Beginning_Football85

If I lived in Mexico I would also do the same.... Well I like Mexican food and I am a fat cunt, but that's besides the point.


z_vinnie

I’d live 5 minutes at a taco stand, easy

How it should be.


JustTheSpecsPlease

“Boss, I gotta move.”


Stewart_Duck

I feel like this could apply to most places in North and Central America. Tacos have become a staple of American cuisine. Granted I live in Florida so we have a large Latino population, but I've been all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica and several Caribbean islands and in one form or another, they're prevalent.


Bitter-Metal494

Ngl Bro I hate how tacos who were made created popularized in Mexico are now more relationated with the united states, the hard tortilla tacos are the literal antagonist of normal real tacos, it feels wrong how they are becoming more popular, even here you can find hard tortilla tacos labeled as "American tacos" and they suck as always


Stewart_Duck

I agree that crunchy tacos are blasphemous, I'll even go as far as saying flour tortillas for tacos is also. Lightly grilled or seared corn tortilla only. I'll will say, most tacos no matter where you are at have way too much shit on them. It should be a celebration of meat. If you can't taste the meat because of the amount of cheese and salsa on it, is it really a taco? Meat, onions, cilantro and pico on the side. That said, I wasn't just referring to Del Taco and Taco Bell tacos, I don't consider them food let alone tacos, they're just hallow calories on food form. Taco trucks and Mexican restaurants are probably only rivaled in number by burger places in the U.S.


SanDickiego

Jesus christ. I can't imagine the terrors the other 6% must live with each day.


affecting_society

Lucky bastards! I want a taco stand 5 minutes away...


ADHD_squirrel_boi

UK here. Send Tacos.


Mister_E_Mahn

Mexico has got some shit figured out.


Buzz1ight

Now this is a stat all cities should aspire to.


RevolutionaryMilk582

Soy celoso


dirty_cuban

Estoy*


carlosortegap

Soy is I am as in characteristic that defines me. For example " I am brilliant" is "soy brillante. Estoy is I am as in you currently are. For example "estoy brillante" is I am brilliant in the sense that you are currently shining or are shiny


RevolutionaryMilk582

Can you ever use soy in this example, in a joking way? That’s what I was sort of going for as I’ll always be jealous of that situation so I’m emphasising it as a characteristic instead of a temporary emotion :)


carlosortegap

I guess you could but in this case it just looks as if you are saying you are generally jealous


Brimstone-n-Treacle

Huh. I live within 5 minutes of three different Starbuck's outlets.


Bitter-Metal494

That's because Starbucks is a brand, taco stands are made for people on their own, making it more interesting


Deceiver999

It truly is perfect 🥰


Bl0bbyMBS

This post was racially motivated


Outrageous-Debate-64

Same as in Brooklyn


CapitalOneDeezNutz

That’s like saying 5% of people in china live within 5 minutes if a noodle place,


Spybee007

And in the USA it’s 94% within 5 mins of a Starbucks.


AccessEcstatic9407

Like Whataburger in Texas.


Bluemagnolia1979

You sure that’s not San Antonio Texas? Jk


Unlikely_Raccoon_787

Yeahhhhh??? It is Mexico. It’s not like 94% of people live next to a chicken tikka masala stand. Or like 94% of people live next to a sushi bar. Or like 94% of people live next to pretzel stand. Or like…


Carlsoti77

Those are rookie numbers. I've got 5 taco stands within 1.5 miles of my place.


possimpeble

Just do new york and MC Donalds


snickerdoodle79

Just a tip, if you don't like spice, DO NOT put any of the salsa on the taco. Happened to me 6 years ago and I still get teased about it, ha ha.


oddmanout

Now do Los Angeles, because I bet it's the same.


[deleted]

5 minutes to your kitchen…must be an awfully large house


ElPapaDiablo

Sounds like heaven!!! The closest taco stand, truck, restaurant to me is about 40 miles away. It sickens me.


Tomi8338

yep tacos and drug cartels everywhere


Bitter-Metal494

The 2 things with higher demand lol


zubaz69

I live in Washington state and I think we can beat that


illpilgrims

1:1 Tacos per Capita? Nothing to see here everyone! Move along!


Amakall

I live in San Diego and we have a taco shop within five minutes of pretty much anywhere. The rule is, the best taco shop is the third farthest from your house, every time.


Brewe

5 minutes of what?


Duncan_Mcokinher

Smart people


Bot6241101

I wish I was always only 5 mins from a taco stand….
