Did anyone else fall for the "Mexican neighborhoods have great food!" meme?
It's literally just a million taquerias, maybe two of them any good, and a couple hipster bars. You can find a Burger King of you're willing to take a drive. Ffffffucking great, right?
I wish I'd moved into a neighborhood with Mediterranean food instead.
Adam Harris
Why is everything in your life a meme?
Oliver Gonzalez
you're right a lot of those mexican fuckos just slap cheap tacos together
Jason Lewis
Slap cheap tacos together and sell 'em for 3.15 a pop
I don't mind cheap quality, so long as it's priced to match.
I did learn that cilantro and onion beats lettuce and tomato any day, though.
Caleb Phillips
>I wish I'd moved into a neighborhood with Mediterranean food instead.
Shawarma for days
Charles Howard
Strictly speaking, any unit of cultural information shared with someone who hasn't experienced the idea firsthand is a meme. "I love all the authentic taquerias in this old neighborhood!" is a meme.
Hudson Butler
italian food master race reporting in;
you have inferior genes op
Josiah Parker
What the fuck are you talking about? It would be retarded to expect all of them to be of a superior quality, normal distribution tells us that much. But for the price, the food offered in Mexican neighborhoods is amazing! I live in a fucking West Indies neighborhood where the traditional food is expensive and sub par, the Deli sandwiches are meager, and the other options are hipster restaurants. Cheap tacos are cheap tacos, but you have to concede that, for the price, the food is amazing. Also, the two good taquerias are probably sublime.
And what the fuck is this shit about things in real life being "a meme"? Every time I read this shit it reminds me of the saddest characters that dwell Veeky Forums.
Go have a fucking life.
Nolan Nguyen
What are you trying to say exactly? That because you like Italian food you have better genes than OP? That you have Italian genes and you like Italian food and that makes you genetically superior than OP? If that is the case, you don't really know what OP's genetic heritage is, he just moved to a Mexican neighborhood. Or maybe you moved to an Italian neighborhood and that makes you genetically superior? I honestly cannot see a way in which what you said makes any sense. Are you sure you belong to a superior caste? Or maybe it's that you are part of a superior lineage, but pregnancy complications left you without oxygen for extended periods of time, in which case I understand you. I'm so sorry
Brody Kelly
>Slap cheap tacos together and sell 'em for 3.15 a pop Tacos in my Mexican neighborhood are $1.75 for small and $2.50 for large. If you're paying over $3 for a taco you're not in a Mexican neighborhood, you're in a hipster neighborhood.
Isaac Clark
What is a cheap taco supposed to be, by the way? I've yet to see a taco less than 2.50 here, most of them are higher, and the only place I've seen cheaper is on the other side of town where there are no Mexicans. I'm a big advocate of for-the-price quality over absolute quality, but this shit ain't cheap.
And also there's literally just only taquerias. Complete lack of variety unless you're willing to shell out 20+ per person at the "We want the gentrifying market!" places
Ethan Allen
it's a social experiment relax bro

>And what the fuck is this shit about things in real life being "a meme" We have cycled through so many generations of shitposting that "meme" cycled back to its original real-world definition of "any transmissible idea" somehow, albeit used cancerously. It's bizarre
Luke Collins
What neighborhood do you live in, OP?
Brandon Torres
Not true, NY rents are expensive so the tacos tend to be $2.50-3.00
Anyway, I've been very satisfied with the Mexican food I've had in NY. I'm not sure what you're expecting, some greasy Cal-Mex style food smotheted in cheese and sour cream?
Henry Lopez
I've seen plenty of actual restaurants. Cinco de Mayo in Flatbush is pretty good.
Nathaniel Turner
Nigga the fuck do you live? I'm in SoCal and there's a taco truck I frequent that has 2 for $1 tacos with a choice of meats.
Comes with meat, onions, cilantro, a side of beets and free hot peppers and lemonade if you ask
Youre getting ripped off if you pay more than $1.5 for a taco unless you feel like splerging
Connor Martinez
I like how west coasters always try to convince the rest of us that their random taquerias are better than chipotle, even though 94.39% of them are shit
Colton Barnes
>chipotle >any good
Those niggers working there don't even know how to wrap a burrito properly
Nathan Butler
Taco trucks in Cali have a more established clientele, here in NY they're newer and there's less of them. But the one I ate from is really good, even though it's $3 per taco. The quality seems good though, the tilapia they use in their fish tacos is delicious.
Jonathan Martinez
Ah makes sense. No fish from mine, and I wouldn't eat it. It's chicken, lengua, carnitas, or carne asada . also burritos or a torta for $2. Pretty tasty that's normally what I get
Justin Lopez
All of the tacos are $3 at this truck, and the burritos are $7. I guess they can get away with it because there's no other authentic Mexican food within walking distance.
William Wilson
>cheap fish taco senorita detected
Ethan Martin
Do you live in Flatbush?
On a side note, people who complain about authentic Mexican food not being good enough probably have the pallettes of 8 year old kids.
Christian Murphy
Not the guy you're butthurt over, but I agree that people on Veeky Forums overstate the quality of mexican food in NYC, and no spergy, this doesn't mean that I don't like mexican food just because taqueria el asco on flatbush is the closest thing to real mexican food you've ever had.
Daniel Russell
Brit here Isnt Mexican food just reheated dogfood that seppos eat to try and pretend they're Cowboys in front of each other?
Kayden Collins
I doubt OP has experience with "authentic Mexican food", I'm just guessing that he's disappointed by the lack of sour cream and cheese.
Anyway, there are plenty of places that are nicer than hole in the walls but not hipsterized either. I've seen a place called "Mexicosina" in the Bronx that I want to try.
Grayson Lee
No, actual Mexican food is very highly regarded.
Hunter Ward
I'd rather eat a sour cream and shredded cheddar joint than a "real mexican" food serving practically expired ingredients.
Authentic doesn't mean good. Just look at all the shit-tier Indian joints in Jackson Heights. Maybe 1 out of 10 actually takes pride in what they serve, the rest is supported by the Indian version of your average tendies and ranch Veeky Forums shitposter.
Asher Kelly
Is that what you tell yourself while you eat refried beans and your eyes thin to slits as you look at the busboy and call him pardner?
Fucking role playing food. Grow up
Austin Thomas
I know authentic doesn't mean good necessarily, but just because a restaurant doesn't have a fancy awning and serve hipsterized dishes doesn't mean it isn't good.
Jace Sanders
It sounds more fun than role playing with fish and chips.
Hudson Flores
They do have good food, but you're probably a fat 420fag expecting Taco Bell-tier shit, so what the fuck would you know?
Henry Foster
>just because a restaurant doesn't have a fancy awning and serve hipsterized dishes doesn't mean it isn't good. No one ever claimed that. Nor will I claim that you implied that a restaurant where everyone is speaking spanish inside and the awning has a ridiculous eagle eating a snake on it and they're playing tucanes de tijuana on the cerwin vega is automagically good. Although I just as well could have.
Landon Sanchez
That's what I was thinking.
Zachary Roberts
Why role play anything? If food is so banal and bland you have to create a fantasy around the ritual of eating it then it's shit. Americans do this with burgers all the time too, every bite tastes like Liberty. It's disgusting. At least china knows it's a authoritarian hellhole and makes food that actually tastes good.
Elijah Gray
I want to drink pozole out of a cute Mexican girl's shoes
Matthew Perry
Have you ever had real Mexican food, you autist? And not just Taco Bell shit
Elijah Gonzalez
Mexican girls are friendly and will smile at you and make you think they're into you but the classy ones with the white skin who don't look like stumpy little gnomes are infuriatingly hard to get unless they are somehow fallen women (you can tell a fallen woman because she will willingly sleep with you, this kind is undesirable and is best avoided because what woman in her right mind would sleep with you? A corrupted, diseased slut with no standards. Reject her for your own good)
Thomas Wright

Jace Anderson
Refried beans and rice is like eating the still warm vomit of a Chinamans dog
Jayden Phillips
I don't care about skin color, you autist. As long as she's cute and pleasant to be around.
Aiden Turner
The thing about the stumpy little olmeca type is that they're probably just looking to climb up the social ladder. Sure they might be really good in bed and they might cook better food than you ever imagined possible, but it's just a ploy, next thing you know you'll have little mestizo babies and who wants that.
The guerras are the way to go. Trust me on this. You can always hire a stumpy little domestic olmeca to do the cooking for you later. Even fuck her while the guerra isn't looking, as long as you put it in her pooper only and not her scheming conniving vagina, or as I call it, "the deceiver".
John Cooper
So your mum then ?
Aiden White
That's a bunch of white supremacist BS
Cooper Price
Actually it's far more misogynistic I'm genuinely disgusted
Ian Collins
Tumblr it's time to go.
Eli Parker
what are some good, inexpensive places in New York?
Jason Green
life is a meme, and then U die
:^)
Ryan James
So many different Hispanic cuisines available in New York, and I've only been able to try 2 so far
Owen Allen
>inexpensive >New York
Levi Gutierrez
inexpensive for NY standards
Camden Cooper
God so much this. It's disgusting No wonder so many beaners end up fat
Joshua Hernandez
hot dog cart with a line of people
Juan Scott
Mexican Taquerias historically were a front for gay hook up joints. Mexican Men who were on the down low would make excuses to visit them to have sex with their friends, whilst insisting the wife stay home to feed the children and not waste food.
Alexander Cruz
Why are all Brits such angry insecure man children?
Mexican food is the best cuisine ON THE PLANET
Anthony Adams
yeah it's the best I've had so far
Jayden Nelson
Yes you can really taste the eColi
Hudson Campbell
mexican white supremacists are a thing though. they hate the little olmec people like the one Jeb Bush married.
Gabriel Rivera
it does explain why Mexico is the fattest nation on earth.
Gavin Parker
That trend dates to NAFTA, when American megacorporations began to flood Mexico with American-style shitfood.
Joshua Reyes
Also what's really interesting is that Americans began to eat healthier around the same time
Jack Howard
Oh bull fucking shit cunt
Cooper Edwards
Who smells more? British or Mexicans? Who's cleaner and bathes more often?
Julian Phillips
>I'd rather eat a sour cream and shredded cheddar joint than a "real mexican" food >shit-tier Indian joints in Jackson Heights opinion discarded
Cooper Bennett
Most of them are, just because you've never seen a gulab jamun before doesn't mean the shit they gave you out of a can was actually good by any objective standard.
Ryan Harris
Mexicans actually
Liam Hill
>implying that refried beans is the vast sum of that which is Mexican food
I feel sorry for you, who
>has never had hand made tamales >does not know the eclectic and delightful flavor fusions of a good mole sauce >has never sipped an ice cold glass of horchata to cool off on a hot day >has not experienced the pleasure of garnishing a spicy dish with queso fresco
And there is a rush of warmth and joy that you have never felt from biting into a fresh pan dulce. Pic related.
Keep feeling superior for eating canned baked beans and toast for breakfast every day, though.
Easton Ortiz
Americanized Mexican food is ass. They throw in sour cream and lettuce into everything. I like authentic mexican food because the spices are much better and they don't throw in disgusting sour cream and american cheese.
Jeremiah Rivera
H3h3 pls let me fuck hila
John Robinson
who cares about those autists
Joseph Cooper
They are normies though. Latin Americans in general tend to be fairly racist, at least, as you get towards the upper classes of society. They're not nearly as bad as white south africans. Maybe more like chinese indonesians/malaysians.
William Long
But like 95% of the people in Mexico are brown, and it's similar in most Latin American countries outside of the Southern Cone. One guy I know who is Uruguayan and actually white, he does not look down on brown Hispanics and he gets Dominican pussy. Another guy I know is a white Chilean, and again, he doesn't look down on brown Hispanics and seems to identify more with Latinoness than American whiteness.
Angel Garcia
>I know two latinos here's my meta-analysis of latin american race relations Ok buddy
Protip: in the USA, outside Veeky Forums, open racism isn't cool, and your Uruguyan/Chilean buddies likely know that
Dylan Evans
I know there's racism in Latin America. Yeah there are lighter skinned people who might think they're superior, but they don't obsess over it like you're doing.
And I doubt they're as racist as you're implying, or else they would only hang out with white people.
Carson Brown
>pointing out facts is obsessing Sure, you must be right
And no shit they hang out with white people
Cooper Diaz
Yes, you're making up entire fake scenarios about "Olmec" women.
Ryder Wright
That is how they talk though, when you're actually friends with them and not just acquaintances.
Easton Williams
And I said they DON'T hang out with just white people
Carter Nelson
>$1.5 for a taco Not on the best coast It's usually 2 minimum and even most of those have went up to 2.5 in the past few years. 3 and 4 each are very common, here. I regularly see 5-6 for shitty empanadas here.
Aaron Miller
I've literally never heard anyone go into detail about indigenous women or whatever, in the US most Hispanics are lumped in together.
Jose Garcia
Except they do, because class is divided almost precisely along racial lines, especially outside of major capital cities.
Luis Nelson
Are you talking about the East Coast?
If so then yeah, it's usually 2.5-3 dollars here. Rent is high even in crappy neighborhoods, so 1 dollar tacos probably won't make them enough money to stay open.
Kevin Long
>in the US Maybe you should get a passport and see what people are like outside of the US.
Brandon Jackson
I've probably been to more countries than you. Also I have family in Ecuador who would be considered higher class, and they're brown.
Jeremiah Wood
That's BS, you're just trying to push an agenda. They might hang out with other higher class people mainly, but most Latin American countries are overwhelmingly mestizo. There aren't even enough white people in most places for that sort of segregation to exist.
Charles Phillips
Sure, and my dad works for nintendo.
There are always exceptions, but the reality is wealth in Latin America is concentrated in the hands of whites, and the more wealth, the more white, as a statistical fact.
Tyler Cruz
Having a majority mestizo population doesn't really change the fact that the money, land, and power is, for the most part, held by people of predominantly European descent.
You can project whatever agenda you want on me, but facts are facts. Maybe I'm a stormfag, maybe I'm an SJW who thinks all white people need to die. Does it really matter? You're getting butthurt over facts.
William Young
Well yeah, the higher classes tend to be of heavier Euro descent than the lower classes, however mainstream society in general is largely mestizo. Also a lot of mestizos who are upper class likely consider themselves "white".
Owen Brooks
>a lot of mestizos who are upper class likely consider themselves "white" And this is supposed to be evidence of a lack of racism amongst Latin Americans? Quite the opposite, if you think about that even for a second.
Asher Taylor
It's certainly not the West Coast.
Austin Price
I'm leaning towards stormfag.
And you're nitpicking really hard, the vast majority of people in any country are not rich or powerful. The fact that the wealthiest people in Latin America tend to be white or near white doesn't have much impact on people's day to day interactions. I never said there was no racism in Latin America. Best and East don't rhyme though, so that's why I was confused.
Jose Butler
>wealth is unevenly distributed therefore racism doesn't exist Your logic is really quite unusual, perhaps you should think that through a bit more carefully. >I never said there was no racism in Latin America. You pretty much did though.
Gavin Davis
dat pan dolce tho a coworker brought some in and it changed my life
Ayden Gonzalez
This this this. Don't fall for the Jeb Bush meme
Jaxson Mitchell
No I did not, I know racism exists in Latin America, but in a different way than what you describe. She looks fine for a 62 year old woman
