The Court Has Spoken – Tacos Are A Mexican Sandwich
A judge in Indiana has settled a years-long debate as to what exactly constitutes a sandwich, ruling that tacos and burritos qualify as Mexican-style sandwiches. The battle began when restaurateur Martin Quintana tried to open a taco restaurant in the Quintana strip mall according to CBS Indiana. However, the Planning Commission rejected his bid based on a prior agreement restricting the facility to only restaurants serving “made-to-order or subway-style sandwiches.”
How Did The Judge Decide A Taco Is A Sandwich?
However, Judge Craig J. Bobay ruled in Quintana’s favor, declaring that the original written commitment did not specify American cuisine and that establishments serving Greek gyros, Indian naan wraps, or Vietnamese banh mi would also be permitted. The judge’s heroic ruling stated that “tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches,” adding that the agreement allowed for a diverse array of sandwich styles.
Wikipedia declares a taco as: a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a small hand-sized corn- or wheat-based tortilla topped with a filling. The taco is then folded over and eaten all around by hand. Unpopular opinion here, but I don’t like tacos. I think they’re a liiiitle over rated. To be fair, I didn’t grow up eating Mexican food. Most of the dining establishments around my town in NJ were fast food, pizza, Chinese and deli’s.
Wow. After all that, I think I’m hungary for a Mexican sandwich actually!
