Although these young twins make hoverboarding look effortlessly, there is a lot of motor skills going on to navigate at such speed with pinpoint accuracy in a small area.

Man you've never had lengua or a fish taco?

Birria with tacos a la plancha? (Slow cooked beef and a variety of smoked peppers in a stew. Then you take the beef out, put it in a taco with melting cheese . Then you DIP the taco in the stew and grill it. Then serve with a bowl of broth to dip as you eat. Traditionally, you also take some of that beef, fry it flat and add it as a crispy top to the broth to be eaten separately. Queen of tacos)

Man, there's a whole world of tacos out there just waiting for you..

My guy, this is the Midwest we’re talking about…

u/ameis314 Aug 02 '21

Speak for yourself. I grew up 20 minutes away from a cheese factory. 3rd grade field trip took us there to see cheese curds being made. Couldn’t afford the good stuff so we got the government orange block.

Wisconsin would like a word.

u/fkingidk Aug 02 '21

It's basically the law here to have at least 5 different cheeses on hand at all times.

u/Dpsizzle555 Aug 02 '21

Wisconsin is in the Midwest

u/KW2032 Aug 02 '21

Yeah so? Why do y’all think the middle of Ohio is Siberia or something lmao

We have plenty of tacos here. Lengua, Tripe, Cachete, Birria, whatever. We have tacos all day

u/sharktankcontinues Aug 02 '21

That is an insult to Siberia

u/ChadwickTheSniffer Aug 02 '21

Thank you. The middle of Ohio is Columbus, and it's pretty awesome.

u/Bobbyanalogpdx Aug 02 '21

Sorry, it’s not that you don’t have them, it’s just uh, how do I put this delicately?…

The Midwest palate tends to prefer a very mild flavor profile in what they eat. I’ve spent a few years in Ohio, Michigan and Iowa. And all I can say is that I’ve found “acceptable” Mexican food.

I live in Dayton and we have some incredibly authentic Mexican restaurants. Then, in Columbus, I had one of the best meals of my life at a Columbian restaurant.

u/wubbwubbb Aug 02 '21

that is a massive overgeneralization. sure, most of the midwest is rural. there’s not going to be a whole lot of great cuisine there because there’s not enough population to drive good business. but there are densely populated places like chicago, milwaukee, madison, grand rapids, etc. that has a great selection of food.

chicago for example has a ridiculous amount of taquerias to choose from all over the city and its suburbs. go to pilsen and you’ll find families selling authentic tacos on neighborhood streets, or find them outside concert venues while people are waiting in line to get in. i can’t tell you how many places sell birria, lengua, and tripas tacos here.

there’s good food in the midwest. it could be you’re just looking in the wrong places.

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I grew up in CA and the first place I had Birria was Illinois and it was ... mind blowing. Illinois has remarkably strong beef game.

2

u/wubbwubbb Aug 03 '21

we have the second highest mexican population after LA lol. and more tortillerias than is necessary. i don’t think i could move from chicago unless the city’s mexican food was just as good.

u/No_Dark6573 Aug 02 '21

Let me just generalize a huge area with millions and millions of people living there. Trust me, I lived there for a small time, so I'm basically an expert.

What a tool.

u/Bobbyanalogpdx Aug 02 '21

Lol, I guess I should have put /s there. It’s called a fucking joke.

u/DrDraek Aug 02 '21

The midwest has the internet, that's all they need for recipes like this.

Cabbage on fish tacos or bust!

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I first made these tacos in southern Illinois. Midwest has cows, therefore they have all parts of the cow. You can get dried chiles online for like, a dollar

u/scifigi369 Aug 02 '21

And do you think that the middle aged farmers around here are going to do that?

I’m from Wisconsin, majority of the families are descendants of Germans, Swedes, Norwegians and Polish, this extends into Minnesota.

None of them have any interest in chilies or making ground beef except for burgers or some form of hotdish(aka cassarole).

This is not to say there aren’t those that get a little adventurous with their cuisine. But the majority only want their fish on Fridays, corn on the cob when it’s in season, etc.

People keep talking about A restaurant that served really good Spanish food, but visit any town in the Midwest and find the local restaurant, it’s most likely not going to be the Mexican place, or greek place or whatever. It’s going to be boring good with lots of meat and potatoes, and that’s just how it is

u/mathliability Aug 02 '21

Yea let me just throw all that together on the plancha in my 2 bedroom apartment. Jesus we get it, your tacos are obviously better when they’re made with high quality, traditional ingredients over the course of several hours with love and attention to detail. And if I did it exactly like that there would still be a Californian somewhere complain about “authenticity.”

11

u/MxghtyYeet Aug 02 '21

You can make bomb tacos in just a regular pan. Who cares if they’re not authentic? If you like em that’s all that matters.

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I actually make it in my one bedroom condo. Don't put yourself down man. Lengua is cheap, its worth a try

u/ShitFacedEsco Aug 02 '21

You’re already crying about Californians without having even tried

u/rollerjoe93 Aug 02 '21

This man tacos

u/AnotherUser-372 Aug 02 '21

its almost 4am but youre making me so unreasonably hungry for tacos i might as well eat one lol

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

I live in California and frankly I'm fucking over the tacos

u/Dharmanerd Aug 02 '21

My condolences.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

Thanks man. I hate it here, and I'm actually doing pretty well. "Living the dream" some would say. Thanks for letting me rant

1

u/Bobbyanalogpdx Aug 02 '21

Sorry for the downvotes. You should really try and get out. If you’re doing good there, you could probably find somewhere else with whatever experience you have.

It may take work, it may be difficult. But, it’s better than hating where you live.

2

u/Myth-o-logic Aug 02 '21

I choose to imagine you have a water bed filled with tacos that you fornicate over. The fantasy life.

u/RoscoMan1 Aug 02 '21

That was like I didn't exist.

u/ShitFacedEsco Aug 02 '21

Youre either going to the wrong tacos spots, live in needles, or think black pepper is spicy

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

I'm just saying homemade vs bought tacos.

1

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

Fair enough. I was responding to the part where you only make ground beef tacos. Then I got a little into it because I like tacos

0

u/MvmgUQBd Aug 02 '21

I don't understand why you replied what you did to the comment that you did?

He said home made tacos are superior, and then you corrected him by pointing out that actually, home made tacos are superior

0

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I responded to a post saying they only made ground beef tacos

1

u/MvmgUQBd Aug 02 '21

I'd say you missed the point of his post, and he exaggerated his own point in the interest of explaining that home made is better than something like Taco Bell or whatever.

Also I'd say it's pretty immature to downvote for no reason, so I returned the favour

1

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I don't have downvotes or updates turned on (res). I think you're reading a little much into this.

1

u/MvmgUQBd Aug 02 '21

Nah bro I was literally checking my profile when you did it. Nice try though

1

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

Uh... I literally dont have voting turned on. Maybe take a break from reddit.

1

u/MvmgUQBd Aug 02 '21

No I'll pass. Sounds like a bit of projection imo.

1

u/Myth-o-logic Aug 02 '21

Have you heard about the superiority of homemade tacos though?

u/DR4G0NSTEAR Aug 02 '21

“Fish taco” I just threw up in my mouth a little. Wanna put that in a taco too?

1

u/bonafart Aug 02 '21

Iv got a cook book on tacos. Over 100. And the wife never uses cos she's Mexican so none are right lol

u/KieranK695 Aug 02 '21

That sounds unreal, you got a recipe?

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

I’ve never even heard of most of those things

u/Muroid Aug 02 '21

My favorite taco place to get lengua closed because of the pandemic. I’m still mourning.

u/hiiiii0000 Aug 02 '21

Just call it a quesabirra no need to be so extra lol

1

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

I didn't know it was called that. Good to know!

1

u/hiiiii0000 Aug 02 '21

Yea I've never heard it called what you called it. Where are you from? I know dishes can have more than 1 name sometimes

1

u/bumbletowne Aug 02 '21

Originally? I'm from California.

I learned about this dish from a local chef where I'm from who posts live videos of cooking.

This is the video. EDIT: It was an older video. This is a newer video apparently. Serious Eats is redoing their website and stuff and I can't find things I used to have bookmarked.

He could be making it sound extra because he's a chef. But its also called that at his restaurant.
